Abstract

Uterine leiomyosarcoma (ULMS) with osteoclast-like giant cells (OLGCs) has been reported as a rare phenomenon in ULMS, and its clinico-pathological features and tumorigenesis remain unclear. We recently reported high expression of receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand (RANKL) in ULMS with OLGCs. As osteoblasts produce RANKL, in this study, we analyzed the expression of Runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2), a critical transcription factor for osteoblasts, and osteoclast-related proteins in three cases of ULMS with OLGCs as well as five conventional ULMSs and nine leiomyomas. Immunohistochemistry and real-time reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction analyses showed high expression of RUNX2 and RANKL in ULMS with OLGCs. In these cases, macrophages expressed receptor activator of nuclear factor κB (RANK), and OLGCs expressed osteoclast-related proteins (nuclear factor of activated T cells, cytoplasmic 1 (NFATc1), and cathepsin K). Accumulation sites of cathepsin K-positive OLGCs showed hemorrhagic appearance and degraded type IV collagen. We reviewed reported cases of ULMS with OLGCs, including ours, and found that they presented an aggressive course even at stage I. Furthermore, metastatic lesions showed similar histological features to those of OLGC association in ULMS. Here, we show that tumor cells in ULMS with OLGCs highly express RUNX2 and RANKL and that osteoclastic differentiation of macrophages occurs in the tumor tissue.

摘要

富含破骨细胞样巨细胞的子宫平滑肌肉瘤(ULMS)是 ULMS 中一种罕见的现象,其临床病理特征和肿瘤发生机制尚不清楚。我们最近报道了富含破骨细胞样巨细胞的 ULMS 中核因子κB 受体激活剂配体(RANKL)的高表达。由于成骨细胞产生 RANKL,在这项研究中,我们分析了三个富含破骨细胞样巨细胞的 ULMS 病例以及五个常规 ULMS 病例和九个平滑肌瘤中关键转录因子 Runt 相关转录因子 2(RUNX2)和破骨细胞相关蛋白的表达。免疫组织化学和实时逆转录定量聚合酶链反应分析显示富含破骨细胞样巨细胞的 ULMS 中 RUNX2 和 RANKL 的高表达。在这些病例中,巨噬细胞表达核因子κB 受体激活剂(RANK),破骨细胞样巨细胞表达破骨细胞相关蛋白(活化 T 细胞核因子,细胞质 1(NFATc1)和组织蛋白酶 K)。组织蛋白酶 K 阳性破骨细胞样巨细胞的积聚部位表现出出血外观和降解的 IV 型胶原。我们复习了包括我们在内的富含破骨细胞样巨细胞的 ULMS 的报道病例,发现即使在 I 期,它们也表现出侵袭性病程。此外,转移性病变表现出与 ULMS 中破骨细胞样巨细胞相关的类似组织学特征。在这里,我们表明富含破骨细胞样巨细胞的 ULMS 中的肿瘤细胞高度表达 RUNX2 和 RANKL,并且巨噬细胞在肿瘤组织中发生破骨细胞分化。
