Proliferation of endothelial cells in neoangiogenesis of human cortical glioblastoma

Abstract: In 1982 Vilanova et al. quantitatively described the neovessel area in glioblastoma and suggested zonal differences in vessel surface area. In this study we investigated specific cell proliferation and angiogenic patterns in the vessel compartment of cortical glioblastoma. We used Ki67, CD34 and SMA double immunohistochemical staining to quantitate vascular patterns and cell specific proliferation and presented glioblastoma with several parameters of angiogenesis. Endothelial cell proliferation was higher in complex and bizzare neovessels than in the simple and sprouting glioblastoma neovessels. There was a higher frequency of sprouting simple vessels in close proximity to the palisade and a higher frequency of bizzare vessels in the microzone distant to the palisade. Quantitatively presented for the first time, the neovessel proliferation patterns support cortical glioblastoma compartmentalization. The data obtained are relevant to medical doctors using neoangiogenesis in diagnosis, prognosis and therapy of neoplasia. The results obtained in 15 patients call for further investigation of endothelial cell/pericyte relationships and glioblastoma compartmentalization.
