Aromatase cytochrome P450 and estrogen and progesterone receptors in uterine sarcomas: correlation with clinical parameters

We examined the immunohistochemical expression of aromatase cytochrome P450 (P450arom), estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and Ki-67 in postoperative uterine sarcomas (n = 31) and the corresponding eutopic endometria (n = 20) to evaluate the relationships between the endocrine character of uterine sarcomas and the clinical features. In sarcoma tissues, P450arom was detected in 55% of cases, ER in 42%, PR in 42%, and Ki-67 in 90%. In eutopic endometria, P450arom was detected in 60% of cases, ER in 60%, and PR in 35%. There were correlations in the steroid-related proteins between the tumors and endometria (P = 0.001-0.026). The positivity of endometrial P450arom (P = 0.04) and ER (P = 0.006) was higher in surviving patients than dead patients regardless of the menstrual state. The results demonstrate correlation between the expression of P450arom, ER, and PR in tumors and eutopic endometria. Intense expression of the steroid-related proteins was associated with better survival.     

Dominant expression of progesterone receptor form B mRNA in ovarian endometriosis

This study was designed to examine the biological implications of progesterone receptor form A (PR-A) and B (PR-B) mRNA expressions in human ovarian endometriosis (ectopic endometrium). A high ratio of PR-B to PR-AB (PR-A+PR-B) mRNA expression was found in 8 of 14 cases of endometriosis, compared with the ratio in eutopic endometrium. The mean ratio in ectopic endometria was significantly (p < 0.01) higher than in eutopic endometria. The ratio in eutopic and ectopic endometria showed no significant change during the menstrual cycle. The mean ratio in ectopic endometria in the proliferative and secretory phases of the endometrium was significantly (p < 0.01) higher than in eutopic endometria. In conclusion, PR-B mRNA was relatively highly expressed in some endometriomas, which might lead to aberrations in the control of progestational effects involving responsiveness to sex steroidal growth regulation.     

Distribution of substance P immunoreactive cell bodies and fibers in cranial sensory and autonomic ganglia of the chick

Substance P-immunoreactive neurons were demonstrated in chick embryonic and adult trigeminal ganglion and jugular-superior ganglionic complex using FITC-immunohistochemical methods. Both small-size and large ganglion cells exhibited SP immunoreactivity, without apparent changes during embryonic and post-hatching development. SP-positive fibers could be detected in a good number in the sympathetic cranial cervical ganglion, either during embryonic development or in adult chick. No immunoreactive perikarya were observed in this ganglion. In the ciliary ganglion, both choroidal and ciliary neurons were SP-negative, whereas SP immunoreactive fibers surrounded the perikarya of both cell populations.

Genome‐wide analysis of DNA methylation in endometriosis using Illumina Human Methylation 450 K BeadChips

Endometriosis is a common chronic gynecologic disorder characterized by the presence and growth of endometrial‐like tissue outside of the uterine cavity. Although the exact etiology remains unclear, epigenetic modifications, such as DNA methylation, are thought to contribute to the pathogenesis of endometriosis. Here, we used the Illumina Human Methylation 450 K BeadChip Array to analyze the genome‐wide DNA methylation profiles of six endometriotic lesions and six eutopic endometria from patients with ovarian endometriosis and six endometria of women without endometriosis. Compared with the eutopic endometria of women with endometriosis, 12,159 differentially methylated CpG sites and 375 differentially methylated promoter regions were identified in endometriotic lesions. GO analyses showed that these putative differentially methylated genes were primarily associated with immune response, inflammatory response, response to steroid hormone stimulus, cell adhesion, negative regulation of apoptosis, and activation of the MAPK activity. In addition, the expression levels of DNMT1, DNMT3A, DNMT3B, and MBD2 in endometriotic lesions and eutopic endometria were significantly decreased compared with control endometria. Our findings suggest that aberrant DNA methylation status in endometriotic lesions may play a significant role in the pathogenesis and progression of endometriosis.

Substance P immunoreactive nerve fibres are related to gastric cancer differentiation status and could promote proliferation and migration of gastric cancer cells

Tachykinins such as SP (substance P) may be involved in the progression of gastric adenocarcinoma through binding to NK-1 receptor. However, the existence and relationship between SP and gastric cancer progression and differentiation remained unknown. We have studied the NK-1 receptor in human gastric cancer tissue and MKN45 cell line and found SP-containing nerve fibres in human gastric cancer and found that the amounts of SP-positive nerves were related to gastric cancer differentiation. SP could promote proliferation, adhesion, migration and invasion of MKN45 cells in vitro. In addition, the intracellular calcium level of MKN45 cells was elevated after SP stimulation, and administration of CRACs (calcium release-activated calcium channels) inhibitor SKF-96365 could partially abolish these effects induced by SP. These results demonstrated that NK-1 receptor and SP-containing nerves existed in human gastric cancer; SP positive nerves may play an important role in human gastric cancer progression, and calcium is critically significant among SP-induced biological effects.
