Ploidy of endothelium in high-grade astrocytomas.

To determine the ploidy and proliferative activity of the endothelium in high-grade astrocytomas, the nuclear DNA content of 11 high-grade astrocytomas, including two gliosarcomas, was measured by cytophotometry. This technique allowed comparison of the endothelial population with the astrocytic population. In all cases, the endothelium was diploid, with an average of 24.6% of cells in the S + G2M phases of the cell cycle. In contrast, the astrocytic population displayed marked DNA abnormalities. The two gliosarcomas had a marked difference in proliferative activity of the endothelium with 4% and 40% of cells, respectively, in the S + G2M phases. These data indicate that the vast majority of endothelial cells compromising the vascular hypercellularity observed in high-grade astrocytomas are in the normal cell cycle whereas in many cases the malignant astrocytes are not. The nuclear DNA content of gliosarcomas appears to be similar to other high-grade astrocytomas.
