Abstract

The authors aimed to compare expression of UCP1, aromatase (CYP19), markers of macrophage infiltration (CD68, CD163), omentin and PTEN in omental fat of endometrioid or non-endometrioid endometrial cancer (EC) patients with signs of standard (SO) or metabolically healthy obesity (MHO) by immunohistochemical (IHC) or real-time PCR methods. Totally 57 omental fat samples collected during surgery in EC pts (average age 60.1) were studied. According to IHC data, statistically significant decrease in expression of aromatase and CD68 was revealed in omental fat of MHO patients. Expression of UCP1 demonstrated an inclination to decrease in the same group, simultaneously showing correlation with clinical stage of EC. According to real time PCR data, omentin expression displayed tendency to an increase with increase in body mass index (whole group), clinical stage of EC (in SO subgroup) and serum omentin level (MHO subgroup). No any difference in studied omental fat parameters was discovered between patients with endometrioid and non-endometrioid EC. Thus, omental fat properties in EC patients are associated with obesity phenotype and not with histologic subtype of this cancer. Apparently, the features of omental fat depot characteristic for visceral adipose tissue at least are equal to its attributes as a brown fat compartment. Decrease, according to IHC info, of the estrogen biosynthesis and macrophagal infiltration in omental fat of EC patients with MHO phenotype may indicate additional mechanisms for more favorable in this case clinical course of uterine body cancer.
