Novel markers of gonadectomy-induced adrenocortical neoplasia in the mouse and ferret

ABSTRACT: Gonadectomy (GDX) induces sex steroid-producing adrenocortical tumors in certain mouse strains and in the domestic ferret. Complementary approaches, including DNA methylation mapping and microarray expression profiling, were used to identify novel genetic and epigenetic markers of GDX-induced adrenocortical neoplasia in female DBA/2J mice. Markers were validated by quantitative RT-PCR, laser capture microdissection, in situ hybridization, and immunohistochemistry. Two genes with hypomethylated promoters, Igfbp6 and Foxs1, were upregulated in post-GDX adrenocortical neoplasms. The neoplastic cells also exhibited hypomethylation of the fetal adrenal enhancer of Sf1, an epigenetic signature that typifies descendants of fetal adrenal rather than gonadal cells. Expression profiling demonstrated upregulation of gonadal-like genes, including Spinlw1, Insl3, and Foxl2, in GDX-induced adrenocortical tumors of the mouse. One of these markers, FOXL2, was detected in adrenocortical tumor specimens from gonadectomized ferrets. These new markers may prove useful for studies of steroidogenic cell development and for diagnostic testing. Total RNA extracted from whole adrenal glands of gonadectomized and non-gonadectomized mice.

Novel genes involved in the pathophysiology of gonadotropin-dependent adrenocortical tumorigenesis in mice.

Project description:The inh-alpha/Tag mouse is a murine adrenocortical tumor model that combines gonadotropin-dependent tumorigenesis with SV40Tag expression (which inhibits p53). These mice have been extensively used to study adrenocortical and gonadal tumorigenesis, as they initially present with gonadal tumors. To induce adrenocortical tumorigenesis, the inh-alpha/Tag mice need to be prebubertally gonadectomized. Generally, females develop adrenal tumors faster and larger in size than males, with a very high individual variations of tumor volume and histological appearance. In this study, we used the inh-alpha/Tag mouse model to analyze the molecular basis of the LH-dependent adrenal tumorigenesis. Experimental inh-alpha/Tag and control littermates (C57Bl/6N) mice of both sexes were used as the animal model. inh-alpha/Tag and WT mice were gonadectomized at 21-24 days of age. Mice were sacrificed at the age of 30 weeks (+/-1 week) and adrenals snap-frozen in liquid nitrogen for microarray analysis. Additionally, a group of 27 week-old inh-alpha/Tag mice (+/-1 week) were treated for 3 weeks with GnRH antagonist cetrorelix acetate (#C5249, Sigma-Aldrich) (3mg/kg/48h). Mice were sacrificed at the age of 30 weeks (+/-1 week) and adrenals snap-frozen in liquid nitrogen for microarray analysis.

Expression data from mouse adrenal glands extracted from wild-type (WT) and Cyp11b2tm1.1(cre)Brlt;Prkar1afl/fl(KO) adrenals

Project description:We demonstrate that PKA signalling drives zonal conversion within adult adrenocortical lineage in a sexually dimorphic manner. Our data establish that Prkar1a genetic ablation (leading to constitutive PKA activation) in the adult adrenocortical lineage leads to endocrine hyperactivity and accelerates adrenal cortex renewal. This results in increased zona fasciculata differentiation and final conversion into reticularis-like zone. This phenomenon relies partly on sex-dependent mechanisms of cortical renewal, on which the male androgenic milieu exerts a repressive action through induction of WNT signalling, which in turn antagonizes PKA signalling and cortical cell turnover. We used microarrays to analyse gene expression in response to Prkar1a gene ablation in the adult adrenocortical cell lineage in both female and male mice and explored the effects of orchidectomy (GDX).

The role of nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (Nampt) in hippocampal neural stem/progenitor cells

Project description:Neural stem/progenitor cell (NSPC) proliferation and self-renewal, as well as insult-induced differentiation, decrease markedly with age, but the molecular mechanisms responsible for these declines remain unclear. Here we show that levels of NAD+ and nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (Nampt), the rate-limiting enzyme in mammalian NAD+ biosynthesis, decrease with age in the hippocampus. Ablation of Nampt in adult NSPCs reduced their pool and proliferation in vivo. The decrease in the NSPC pool during aging can be rescued by enhancing hippocampal NAD+ levels. Nampt is the main source of NSPC NAD+ levels and required for G1/S progression of the NSPC cell cycle. Nampt is also critical for oligodendrocytic lineage fate decisions through a mechanism mediated redundantly by Sirt1 and Sirt2. Ablation of Nampt in the adult NSPCs in vivo reduced NSPC-mediated oligodendrogenesis upon injury. These phenotypes recapitulate defects in NSPCs during aging, implicating Nampt-mediated NAD+ biosynthesis as a mediator of these age-associated functional declines. Total RNA obtained from neurospheres derived from postnatal hippocampi subjected to 48 hours in vitro of incubation with Nampt-specific inhibitor FK866 (10 nM, 4 samples) or vehicle (DMSO, 1:1000, 4 samples).

Genome-wide analysis of adult adrenocortical cells gene expression after 48 h ACTH treatment

Project description:Analysis of ACTH-regulation on adrenocortical cells at gene expression level. The hypothesis tested in the present study was that ACTH increases chronic cell growth and steroidogenesis in adrenal glands by changing the gene expression profile. Results provide important information of the response of adrenocortical cells gene expression to chronic ACTH treatment. Total RNA obtained from primary cultured adult adrenal cells subjected to 48 hours in vitro treatment of ACTH compared to untreated control cell.

Single-nucleus and spatial transcriptome reveal adrenal homeostasis in normal and tumoural adrenal glands

Project description:The human adrenal glands are highly dynamic endocrine organs that are involved in the secretion of various hormones such as steroids and catecholamines. Here we present a single-nuclei and spatial transcriptomic analysis of healthy adult human adrenal glands to provide a complete adrenal gland atlas. With this, we show how such an atlas can be taken advantage when studying adrenocortical diseases, such as adrenocortical adenomas (ACA). Using nornal adrenal as reference, we showed a high intra-tumoural heterogeneity in the single-nuclei transcriptome of ACA, revealing the presence of specific cell populations associated with cortisol secretion and genetic background.

Succinate mediates inflammation-induced adrenocortical dysfunction

Project description:Inflammation leads the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis activation and increased production of glucocorticoids, which produced by the adrenal cortex, exert potent anti-inflammatory effects. The use of omics, including proteomics revealed metabolic changes in steroidogenic adrenocortical cells, including downregulation of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle and oxidative phosphorylation, decreased ATP production and induction of oxidative stress after lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation.
