OBJECTIVE: To develop a rapid biomarker method for confirming that leiomyoma and myometrium primary cultures maintain the molecular phenotype of the progenitor tissues.
DESIGN: Confirmation of primary cultures from leiomyoma and myometrium tissues.
SETTING: University hospital.
PATIENT(S): Women undergoing hysterectomy for symptomatic leiomyomas.
INTERVENTION(S): Primary cell cultures, reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), microarray, real time RT-PCR, and immunofluorescence.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Relative messenger RNA and protein expression in leiomyoma and myometrial cell cultures.
RESULT(S): We developed primary cell cultures from human leiomyoma and patient-matched myometrium obtained from hysterectomy specimens. In the primary cultures, we confirmed the presence of smooth muscle-specific alpha-actin as well as filamentous actin. Based on microarray analysis, we expected and confirmed, in the progenitor tissue and derived primary cultures, an overexpression of versican (8.31 fold +/- 2.2 SEM and 4.3 fold +/- 1.01 SEM, respectively), transforming growth factor beta-3 (5.66 fold +/- 0.82 SEM and 4.92 fold +/- 0.58 SEM, respectively), and cytochrome P450-26A1 (6.76 fold +/- 0.80 SEM and 6.17 fold +/- 2.02 SEM, respectively), and an underexpression of dermatopontin (-5.6 fold +/- 1.82 SEM and -3.41 +/- 1.20 SEM, respectively).
CONCLUSION(S): Primary cell cultures offer a reliable in vitro model system for leiomyoma disease, if confirmed. Analysis of a gene array that distinguishes between myometrium and leiomyoma molecular phenotypes offers a rapid and reliable confirmation method, and provides confidence that in vitro findings resemble in vivo disease.
