SummaryIntermediate trophoblast (IT) rarely gives rise to a placental site trophoblastic tumor (PSTT). To examine the different growth mechanisms present in normal and neoplastic IT, the expression of cell cycle regulatory molecules was compared at normal implantation sites and in PSTTs. Normal implantation sites in early gestation (19 patients) and PSTTs (6 patients) were immunohistochemically studied using antibodies against cytokeratin, human chorionic gonadotropin, and human placental lac-togen to identify IT, and antibodies against Ki-67, cyclins (A, B, D1, and E), cyclin-dependent kinases (cdks), and p53 to investigate the proliferative activity of the trophoblast. Marked proliferative activity was observed in the trophoblast of the cell columns. Normal IT exhibited a very low labeling index for Ki-67, with negative expression for cdks and cyclins, except for cyclins B and E. The tumor cells of PSTT exhibited a high labeling index for Ki-67 with positive expression for all the cyclins and cdks examined. Expression of p53 was identified in tumor cells of PSTTs and the distribution of p53-positive cells correlated topographically with that of the cyclin A-positive cells. The transformed IT of PSTT has high proliferative activity with an abnormal expression of cell cycle regulatory molecules, which is not observed in normal IT.
