Characterizing the Invasive Tumor Front of Aggressive Uterine Adenocarcinoma and Leiomyosarcoma

Abstract: The invasive tumor front (the tumor–host interface) is vitally important in malignant cell progression and metastasis. Tumor cell interactions with resident and infiltrating host cells and with the surrounding extracellular matrix and secreted factors ultimately determine the fate of the tumor. Herein we focus on the invasive tumor front, making an in-depth characterization of reticular fiber scaffolding, infiltrating immune cells, gene expression, and epigenetic profiles of classified aggressive primary uteri… Show more

“…The tumor interface, the invasion front for tumor cells to expand, is a critical region to uncover the tumor invasion and progression (5,(105)(106)(107). The intermediate zone between the tumor tissue and the non-tumor tissue has unique microenvironment, thus existing unique characteristics in cellcell interaction, cell composition and immune states (Table 2).…”

“…A total of 24 uADC, 11 uLMS, 6 uADC lung metastases and 9 uLMS lung metastases (LM-uADC and LM-uLMS) were included in the study. We used formalin-fixed and paraffinembedded (FFPE) tissue samples from uADC and uLMS primary tumors (previously described in Sanegre et al (2021), with a particular focus on paired cases (primary tumors with their respective lung metastases). Tumors were classified according to the latest WHO criteria and were surgically staged and graded following the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) classification and staging systems.…”

“…Stromatogenesis, the formation of new stroma at the ITF, disrupts the continuity of normal tissues, facilitating the invasion process. This newly formed tumorassociated stroma is composed of stromal cells and the extracellular matrix (ECM), which is biochemically distinct in composition (Sivridis, Giatromanolaki and Koukourakis, 2004;Sanegre et al, 2021). Specifically, the new ECM is characterized by increased deposition of fibrillar collagen and cross-links, leading to increased tissue stiffness and causing desmoplasia, typical of the tumor (Eble and Niland, 2019).…”
