DNA distribution patterns and the fractions of the cell cycle phases were determined by means of flow-through cytometry in 87 samples of normal, atrophic, hyperplastic and carcinomatous human endometrium. The S-phase fractions vary during the normal menstrual cycle between 1 and 3% and reach a periovulatory maximum between 4.4 and 4.7%. Atrophic endometrium and regressive glandular cystic hyperplasia have little DNA synthesis (1.01% and 1.68% S-phase fractions respectively). Proliferating glandular cystic hyperplasia reveals 3.38% S-phase fraction, whereas adenomatous hyperplasia has an increased number of DNA-synthesizing cells (4.81%). The well-differentiated endometrial carcinoma shows no cytophotometrically detectable differences in comparison to adenomatous hyperplasia. All endometrial samples except for poorly differentiated endometrial carcinoma showed a diploid to tetraploid DNA distribution pattern. The poorly differentiated endometrial carcinoma displays two different types: one rapidly growing diploid-tetraploid tumor with 8.0 to 9.6% S-phase fractions, and another type with stemline deviations, polyploid nuclei and less pronounced synthetic activity.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008598 Menstruation The periodic shedding of the ENDOMETRIUM and associated menstrual bleeding in the MENSTRUAL CYCLE of humans and primates. Menstruation is due to the decline in circulating PROGESTERONE, and occurs at the late LUTEAL PHASE when LUTEOLYSIS of the CORPUS LUTEUM takes place.
D002453 Cell Cycle The complex series of phenomena, occurring between the end of one CELL DIVISION and the end of the next, by which cellular material is duplicated and then divided between two daughter cells. The cell cycle includes INTERPHASE, which includes G0 PHASE; G1 PHASE; S PHASE; and G2 PHASE, and CELL DIVISION PHASE.

D003560 Cysts Any fluid-filled closed cavity or sac that is lined by an EPITHELIUM. Cysts can be of normal, abnormal, non-neoplastic, or neoplastic tissues. Cyst
D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D004714 Endometrial Hyperplasia Benign proliferation of the ENDOMETRIUM in the UTERUS. Endometrial hyperplasia is classified by its cytology and glandular tissue. There are simple, complex (adenomatous without atypia), and atypical hyperplasia representing also the ascending risk of becoming malignant.

D004717 Endometrium The mucous membrane lining of the uterine cavity that is hormonally responsive during the MENSTRUAL CYCLE and PREGNANCY. The endometrium undergoes cyclic changes that characterize MENSTRUATION. After successful FERTILIZATION, it serves to sustain the developing embryo. Endometria
D005260 Female Females
D005434 Flow Cytometry Technique using an instrument system for making, processing, and displaying one or more measurements on individual cells obtained from a cell suspension. Cells are usually stained with one or more fluorescent dyes specific to cell components of interest, e.g., DNA, and fluorescence of each cell is measured as it rapidly transverses the excitation beam (laser or mercury arc lamp). Fluorescence provides a quantitative measure of various biochemical and biophysical properties of the cell, as well as a basis for cell sorting. Other measurable optical parameters include light absorption and light scattering, the latter being applicable to the measurement of cell size, shape, density, granularity, and stain uptake.
