Transcriptome and methylome analysis reveal three cellular origins of pituitary tumors

ABSTRACT: The pituitary tumors (PA) arise in adenohypophyseal cells and are the second most common tumor in central nervous system. Reflective of their monoclonal cell of origin these tumors could be classified according to the hormone that they produce. The mutational and copy number variation burden in these tumors are scarce, indicating other molecular events are involved in pituitary tumorigenesis. Here we show throughout transcriptome and methylome analysis that there are three readily distinctive molecular signatures. The first group is comprised by the gonadotropes, null cell and silent corticotroph PA, the second group comprised by ACTH PA and the group cluster together the TSH-, PRL- and GH- PA. These groups showed CACNA2D4, EPHA4 and SLIT1 gene up-regulation, respectively. Pathway enrichment analysis support the previous observations. The calcium signaling pathway is characteristic for gonadotropes null cell and silent corticotroph, the Renin-Angiotensin system for the ACTH PA and the Fatty acid metabolisms for the TSH-, PRL-, GH- cluster. The analysis of scRNA-seq from non-tumoral pituitary tissue revealed that these three groups originate since the pituitary development/embryogenesis. The immune cell infiltration landscape revealed that PA could be potentially infiltrated by NK and mast cells. Taken together these results correlate with the expression of the NR5A1, TBX19 and POU1F1 transcription factors, which drive pituitary embryogenesis and theoretically tumorigenesis and potentially indicates three divergent cell precursors cells. We used microarrays to detail the molecular alteration in PA compared to non-tumoral gland.

USP8 mutations determine genes’ expression profile of pituitary corticotroph adenomas, regardless of tumor functional status.

Project description:The aim of the study was to compare genes’ expression profiles of functioning and silent corticotroph adenomas to investigate possible biological mechanism of different hormone secretion . Since USP8 is the best know driver gene mutated in large proportion of ACTH-omas we intended to verify whether the mutation occurs in SCAs and how it affects transcriptomic profile.

Transcriptome analyses of somatotropes and lactotropes reveal novel regulators of cell identity in the pituitary

Project description:The differentiation of the hormone-producing cell lineages of the anterior pituitary represents an informative model of mammalian cell fate determination. The generation and maintenance of two of these lineages, the growth hormone (GH) producing somatotropes and prolactin (PRL) producing lactotropes, is dependent on the pituitary-specific POU-homeo domain transcription factor, POU1F1. While POU1F1 is expressed in both cell types, and plays a direct and essential role in the activation of both the Gh and Prl genes, GH expression is restricted to somatotropes and PRL expression is restricted to lactotropes. These observations imply the existence of additional, cell type-enriched factors, that contribute to the somatotrope and lactotrope cell identities. Here, we use a set of transgenic mouse models to facilitate sorting of somatotrope and lactotrope populations based on the expression of distinct fluorescent markers expressed under Gh and Prl gene transcriptional controls, respectively. The transcriptomic analyses reveal a concordance of gene expression profiles in the two populations. The limited number of divergent mRNAs between the two populations includes a set of transcription factors that may have roles in pituitary lineage divergence or in regulating the expression of key lineage-specific genes after lineage divergence. Four of these factors were validated for lineage enrichment at the level of protein expression, two somatotrope-enriched and two lactotrope-enriched, and three of these four factors were shown to have corresponding activities in appropriate enhancement or repression of landmark genes. These studies establish a useful database for further study of the somatotrope and lactotrope cells as well as identify novel regulators of lineage marker expression in the anterior pituitary.

Pituitary Tumors cDNA SAGE Libraries

Project description:Despite a considerable literature concerning the molecular pathogenesis of pituitary tumors, the mechanisms of pituitary tumors development and progression remain unknown. Four SAGE cDNA libraries were constructed using a pool of mRNA obtained from five GH-, two ACTH-secreting, and four non secreting pituitary tumors (NS), and three normal pituitaries from patients who had accidental death, using I-SAGE kit (Invitrogen). The aim of this study was to evaluate the differential gene expression profile by SAGE genes in different subtypes of pituitary tumors to contribute for understanding of pituitary tumorigenesis. Comparative analysis of gene expression profiles in subtypes of pituitary tumores.

The differential gene screening for invasive pituitary adenoma and non-invasive pituitary adenoma

Project description:Pituitary adenomas are benign tumors originating from the endocrine cells of the pituitary gland, but some pathological subtypes are highly invasive, known as invasive pituitary adenomas. Invasive pituitary adenomas are relatively rare, progress rapidly, easily invade surrounding tissues, have a high risk of recurrence, and have poor response to standard treatments. This study collected tumor specimens from 17 patients with non-invasive pituitary adenomas (FSH type) and 15 patients with invasive pituitary adenomas (ACTH-silent type), and performed transcriptome sequencing, aiming to explore the genetic differences between invasive and non-invasive pituitary adenomas.

Integrating methylome and transcriptome signatures expands the molecular classification of the pituitary tumors [RNA-seq]

Project description:Pituitary tumors (PitNETs) tumorigenesis is still not completely understood. Few studies have integrated exome, methylome, and transcriptome analyses. Taking advantage of a comprehensive phenotypic characterized Brazilian cohort, which has heterogeneous ethnic origin, we combined methylome and transcriptome analysis of the three major subtypes of surgically resectable PitNETs. Here, we included RNA-seq and basal patient / tumor data of 65 PitNETs: GH-secreting (acromegaly,n = 15), ACTH-secreting (Cushing disease, n = 7), and Non-Functioning (n = 43 PitNETs).

eNampt, CRH and Il-6 influence on gene expression of rat primary corticotropes.

Project description:ACTH is known to be secreted from pituitary cortictropes after CRH and Il-6 stimulation. Recenetly it was proven that eNampt also stimulates ACTH secretion from rat pituitary gland. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression in isolated rat pituitary corticotropes, 24h after administration of eNampt, CRH and Il-6.

Modification of genes expression in the somatolactotrope GH4C1 cell line in presence of the dominant negative mutant POU1F1(R271W)

Project description:The anterior pituitary-specific transcription factor POU1F1 (also called PIT-1) was initially identified and cloned as a transactivator of PRL, GH and TSHß subunit genes. Different studies indicated that POU1F1 could also have other functions in these cells. The identification of new targets of this factor could be useful to obtain a better understanding of these functions. Gene expression microarray assays were used to detect genes that have their expression modified in somatolactotrope GH4C1 cells by the expression of a dominant negative form of POU1F1, POU1F1(R271W).

Integrating methylome and transcriptome signatures expands the molecular classification of the pituitary tumors

Project description:Abnormal DNA methylation contributes to tumor progression and is emerging as a prognostic marker in several types of cancers. Pituitary tumors (PitNETs) tumorigenesis is still not completely understood. Few studies have integrated exome, methylome, and transcriptome analyses. Taking advantage of a comprehensive phenotypic characterized Brazilian cohort, which has heterogeneous ethnic origin, we combined methylome and transcriptome analysis of the three major subtypes of surgically resectable PitNETs (n = 77): GH-secreting (acromegaly, n = 18), ACTH-secreting (Cushing disease, n = 13), and non-functioning (n = 46) PitNETs. Here, we included methylome and basal patient / tumor data.
