Dienogest treatment significantly reduced cell proliferation in ovarian endometriotic cysts without altering estrogen or progesterone receptor expression, suggesting a non-hormonal mechanism of action.

ⓘ
This paper studied the immunohistochemical effects of dienogest on ovarian endometriotic cyst tissue, comparing specimens from 12 patients treated with dienogest to 20 untreated hormonal controls. The authors assessed expression of estrogen receptor (ER)-α and progesterone receptor A (PRA), along with the proliferation marker Ki-67, in both epithelial and stromal cells. Dienogest was associated with a significantly reduced cell proliferation index in both epithelial and stromal cells, but ER-α and PRA expression did not differ significantly between dienogest users and controls; additionally, ER-α and PRA were low in epithelial cells and preserved in stromal cells regardless of treatment. The authors note that the proliferation decrease without receptor changes may not support a direct progestational effect of dienogest on ovarian endometriotic cysts. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it directly analyzes dienogest effects in ovarian endometriotic cysts using immunohistochemistry.
Abstract
Dienogest is a novel progestin with potent oral progestational activity that inhibits the clinical symptoms of endometriosis. We herein evaluated the effect of dienogest on ovarian endometriotic cysts via immunohistochemistry. Ovarian endometriotic cyst specimens were collected from 12 patients treated with dienogest and 20 patients not treated with hormones (controls). The expression of estrogen receptor (ER)-α, progesterone receptor A (PRA), and Ki-67 was studied by immunohistochemistry. As compared with the controls, the cell proliferation index was significantly reduced in both epithelial and stromal cells of the endometriotic cysts following the use of dienogest (P = 0.022 and P = 0.004, respectively). However, there was no significant difference between endometriotic cysts with and without the use of dienogest in the expressions of ER-α and PRA in the epithelial and stromal cells. Irrespective of the use of dienogest, the expression levels of ER-α and PRA in the epithelial cells were low (median: 32% and 8%, respectively). Conversely, the expression levels of ER-α and PRA in the stromal cells were well preserved (median: 68% and 92%, respectively). In the controls, there was no significant difference between endometriotic cysts in the expression levels of Ki-67, ER-α and PRA in epithelial and stromal cells during the proliferative and secretory phases. The finding of a reduction in the cell proliferation index by the use of dienogest with no change in the expressions of hormonal receptors may not support the direct progestational effect of dienogest on ovarian endometriotic cysts. ジェノゲストはプロゲステロン作用を有する新規経口プロゲスチン製剤であり,子宮内膜症の臨床症状を抑制する.今回卵巣子宮内膜症性嚢胞におけるジェノゲスト効果を免疫組織学的に解析した.ジェノゲストを使用した12例と,使用していない20例(対照群)の卵巣子宮内膜症性嚢胞におけるエストロゲン受容体-α,プロゲステロン受容体A,およびKi-67の発現を免疫組織学的に検討した.対照群と比較においてジェノゲスト使用例は,卵巣子宮内膜症性嚢胞の上皮細胞(P = 0.022)と間質細胞(P = 0.004)ともに有意に細胞増殖指数が低下していた.しかしながらエストロゲン受容体-αとプロゲステロン受容体Aの発現は上皮細胞,間質細胞ともに両群で有意差を示さなかった.ジェノゲスト使用にかかわらず,上皮細胞のエストロゲン受容体-α(中央値:32%)とプロゲステロン受容体A(中央値:8%)発現は低値であり,それに反して間質細胞のエストロゲン受容体-α(中央値:68%)とプロゲステロン受容体A(中央値:92%)は高値であった.対照群の中で上皮細胞,間質細胞のKi-67,エストロゲン受容体-αとプロゲステロン受容体A発現は月経周期の増殖期,分泌期において有意差を認めなかった.ホルモン受容体発現の変化なしにジェノゲスト使用によって細胞増殖を抑制されていることは,卵巣子宮内膜症性嚢胞におけるジェノゲストのプロゲステロン効果では説明できない.
