Abstract

To identify potential oncogenes that contribute to the development of uterine leiomyosarcoma, we conducted a cDNA microarray analysis between normal uterine smooth muscle and uterine leiomyosarcoma. We found that acrogranin (also named PCDGF or progranulin) is overexpressed in uterine leiomyosarcoma. With immunohistochemical staining of 12 leiomyosarcoma cases, we verified acrogranin expression in tumor cells. Furthermore, the intensity of acrogranin expression correlated with high histologic grade and poor prognosis. To directly analyze the oncogenic properties of acrogranin, we established an immortalized uterine smooth muscle cell line by transfection of human telomerase reverse transcriptase into primary culture. This cell line retained the original characteristics of uterine smooth muscle cells, including spindle-shaped extension as well as expression of vimentin, estrogen receptor alpha, progesterone receptor, and alpha smooth muscle actin. Transfection of acrogranin into the immortalized uterine smooth muscle cells resulted in colony formation in soft agar, but the diameter of the colonies did not exceed 100 mum. Transfection of both acrogranin and SV40 early region (SV40ER) into the immortalized uterine smooth muscle ce...Continue Reading

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.
