Fascin is secreted in male's serum: results of a pilot study

AIM: Fascin is a 55 kDa globular protein with an important role in cell migration. Aim of study was to investigate serum fascin in healthy males. MATERIALS & METHODS: From 1 July 2016 to 31 December 2016, we collected serum from 46 males. Serum fascin level was performed using ELISA kit from USB...

Sumario:AIM: Fascin is a 55 kDa globular protein with an important role in cell migration. Aim of study was to investigate serum fascin in healthy males. MATERIALS & METHODS: From 1 July 2016 to 31 December 2016, we collected serum from 46 males. Serum fascin level was performed using ELISA kit from USBiological (Salem, MA, USA). RESULTS: Median age was 64 years. Mean fascin serum level was 9.84 ng/ml, mean prostate-specific antigen (PSA) was 2.74 ng/ml and mean prostate volume was 37.64 cc. The 51–60 years group had a mean of 10.53 ng/ml, the 61–70 group a mean of 9.7 ng/ml and the 71–80 group had a mean of 9.41 ng/ml fascin serum level. CONCLUSION: Fascin serum level did not differ according to age in males.
