肽类生长因于是一组强有力的细胞生长调节物质，它们与其特异受体结合后发挥作用。目前在前列腺组织中发现了许多这类因子，它们参与了前列腺的生长、分化以及恶性转变等过程。本文主要概述了四种肽类生长因子及其受体在良性前列腺增生发病过程中的作用研究进 Peptide growth is therefore a powerful set of cell growth regulators that bind to their specific receptors. Many of these factors are currently found in prostate tissue and are involved in prostate growth, differentiation, and malignant transformation. This article summarizes the role of four kinds of peptide growth factors and their receptors in the pathogenesis of benign prostatic hyperplasia
