OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the growth pattern of the large uterine leiomyomata (ULM), we examined the spatial gene distributions, vessel density, proliferative activity, and hyaline degeneration.
DESIGN: Tissue sections from three-dimensional large ULM, matched myometrium, and small ULM were collected and microarrayed. The spatial difference of the tumor activity was mapped in large ULM.
SETTING: University clinical research laboratory.
PATIENT(S): Hysterectomy specimens from 7 patients with large (>10 cm) ULM and 3 patients with large (>10 cm) uterine leiomyosarcomas.
INTERVENTION(S): Tissue microarray analysis by the immunohistochemistry.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Selected gene products, vessel density, and the percentage of hyaline degeneration were all scored in tissue cores/sections of large and small ULM against matched myometrium.
RESULT(S): We found that there was a spherical spatial difference of the tumor activities in large ULM. The tumor region next to the periphery, the most biologically active zone, demonstrated higher levels of gene expression, a higher density of vessels, a higher proliferative rate and a lower level of hyaline degeneration. The large ULM have higher levels of gene products (except for estrogen and progesterone receptors) than small ULM.
CONCLUSION(S): In comparison of the spatial patterns of the gene activity between the large ULM and the large uterine leiomyosarcoma, the large ULM illustrate a growth pattern of nutritional dependence.
