Lurie Cancer Center of Northwestern University, Chicago, USA Preclinical models for the identi®cation of prostate cancer chemoprevention agents are lacking. Based upon the notion that clinically useful chemoprevention agents should exhibit selective activity against early stage disease, studies were undertaken to assess whether chemoprevention agents selectively inhibited the growth of early stage prostate cancer, as compared to late stage cancer. First, a series of cell and molecular studies were performed, which, when taken together, validated the use of a panel of prostate cell lines as a model of the different stages of carcinogenesis. Next, therapeutic responsiveness to ten different cytotoxic or chemoprevention agents was evaluated. Chemoprevention agents exhibited selective activity against normal and early transformed prostate tissue, whereas cytotoxic agents were non-speci®c. Selective activity against early versus advanced prostate cancer cells is identi®ed as a potential screening method for chemoprevention agents.
