These cells resemble smooth muscle cells or fibrocytes in appearance but may have a distinct gene expression pattern (Oudes et al, 2006; Liu and True, 2002; Goo et al, 2005). Stromal fibromuscular cells associated with primary prostate cancer differ from stromal cells in benign prostate tissue by an increased level of expression of the cell activation molecule CD90 (Liu et al, 2004).
