This study aimed to examine the activation of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) and the accumulation of its end product, poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR), in uterine leiomyoma specimens obtained from 25 patients receiving Leuplin depot [leuprorelin acetate, depot (LA)] treatment and 46 control patients and explore their correlation with tumor shrinkage and degeneration caused by the therapy. Immunoblotting analysis showed that specimens from LA-treated patients had higher PARP expression. The numbers of both PARP- and PAR-immunolabeled cells were higher in leiomyoma with LA treatment. This was correlated with the clinical response of LA therapy that LA induced more leiomyoma degeneration. The analysis of power Doppler sonography indicated a progressive decrease in blood supply to tumor following LA treatment. In vitro experiments using primarily cultured leiomyoma cells exhibited that the deprivation of serum or ovarian hormones or LA directly failed to induce PARP and PAR production. Our results suggested that reduced blood flow and subsequent ischemic damages in leiomyoma could be responsible for PARP overexpression and PAR accumulation, clinical response, and tumor degeneration caused by LA treatment.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007889 Leiomyoma A benign tumor derived from smooth muscle tissue, also known as a fibroid tumor. They rarely occur outside of the UTERUS and the GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT but can occur in the SKIN and SUBCUTANEOUS TISSUE, probably arising from the smooth muscle of small blood vessels in these tissues.

D007987 Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone A decapeptide that stimulates the synthesis and secretion of both pituitary gonadotropins, LUTEINIZING HORMONE and FOLLICLE STIMULATING HORMONE. GnRH is produced by neurons in the septum PREOPTIC AREA of the HYPOTHALAMUS and released into the pituitary portal blood, leading to stimulation of GONADOTROPHS in the ANTERIOR PITUITARY GLAND.
