The messenger RNA (mRNA) content was analyzed by RT-PCR. mRNAs for c-fos, c-myc, c-jun, ER, and PR were detected in all 18 samples of leiomyoma and corresponding myometrial tissue collected in this study. Interestingly, in contrast to healthy tissues, we found a distinct and significant reduction of c-fos mRNA in the tumor. These data were substantiated by the finding of lowered c-Fos protein levels in leiomyomas tissues. Moreover, transcripts of c-jun and c-myc were less abundant in most of the leiomyomas than in the myometrium. This different expression of the protooncogenes in leiomyomas and myometrium was independent of the phase of the menstrual cycle in which samples were collected. In contrast to the reduced transcript levels observed for the immediate early genes, the ER and PR mRNA contents of the leiomyomas and myometrium did not differ. These results were confirmed by immunohistochemical studies for ER and PR protein.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>In conclusion, our data show that the deregulated expression of protooncogenes, especially of c-fos, is linked to the pathogenesis of leiomyomas. Confirmation of a potential role of downregulated c-fos levels for the benign character of these tumors requires further investigation. Additionally, the findings suggest that sex steroids do not influence the different expression patterns of c-fos, c-myc, and c-jun in leiomyomas, as compared with myometrium.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1210\/jcem.82.8.4141","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,1,8]],"date-time":"2014-01-08T17:02:30Z","timestamp":1389200550000},"page":"2596-2600","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":26,"title":["Comparative
