Duplications disrupt chromatin architecture and rewire GPR101-enhancer communication in X-linked acrogigantism [4C]

ABSTRACT: X-linked acrogigantism (X-LAG) is the most severe form of pituitary gigantism and is characterized by aggressive growth hormone (GH)-secreting pituitary tumors that occur in early childhood. X-LAG is associated with chromosome Xq26.3 duplications (the X-LAG locus typically includes the VGLL1, CD40LG, ARGHEF6, RBMX, and GPR101 genes) that lead to massive pituitary tumoral expression of GPR101, a novel regulator of GH secretion. In this work, we aimed to unravel the mechanism by which the duplications lead to marked pituitary misexpression of GPR101 alone. Using 4C-seq, we characterized the normal chromatin structure at the X-LAG locus. Using GPR101, RBMX, and VGLL1 viewpoints, we showed that GPR101 is located within a topologically associating domain (TAD) delineated by a tissue-invariant border that separates it from centromeric genes and regulatory sequences. Then, we showed that the duplications in multiple patients led to ectopic interactions that crossed the invariant TAD border, indicating the existence of a similar and consistent mechanism of neo-TAD formation in X-LAG. Rewiring GPR101-enhancer interaction within the new regulatory unit is likely to cause the high levels of aberrant expression of GPR101 in X-LAG pituitary.

Management of Pediatric Gigantism Caused by the TADopathy, X-Linked Acrogigantism

Project description:X-linked acrogigantism (X-LAG) is a rare form of pituitary gigantism that is associated with growth hormone (GH) and prolactin-secreting pituitary adenomas/pituitary neuroendocrine tumors (PitNETs) that develop in infancy. It is caused by a duplication on chromosome Xq26.3 that leads to misexpression of the gene GPR101, a constitutively-active stimulator of pituitary GH and prolactin secretion. GPR101 normally exists within its own topologically associating domain (TAD) and is insulated from surrounding regulatory elements. X-LAG is a TADopathy in which the duplication disrupts a conserved TAD border, leading to a neoTAD in which ectopic enhancers drive GPR101 over-expression causing gigantism. Here we trace the full diagnostic and therapeutic pathway of a female patient with X-LAG from 4C-seq studies demonstrating the neoTAD through to medical and surgical interventions and detailed tumor histopathology. The complex nature of treating young children with X-LAG is illustrated, including the achievement of hormonal control using a combination of neurosurgery and adult doses of first-generation somatostatin analogs.

Transcriptome analysis reveals key genes and pathways that the ligand AA-14 acts on pituitary

Project description:Our research is helpful to understand the physiological and pathological level changes caused by the ligand AA-14 acting on the receptor GPR101 on pituitary, to find the mechanism of the signaling pathway downstream of GPR101 under the action of the ligand, and to determine which signaling pathway is mediated by GPR101

Identification of distinct molecular signatures in AIP mutation-positive familial isolated pituitary adenomas

Project description:The aim of this study was to perform comparative gene expression analysis of AIP mutation-positive, AIP mutation-negative familial and sporadic somatotroph tumours to discover the genes/pathways responsible for the aggressive phenotype. Gene expression analysis was performed on 25 pituitary samples (five normal pituitary, six AIPpos GH, three AIPneg GH, four sporadic GH, two AIPneg familial NFPA and five sporadic NFPA adenomas) using the Affymetrix human Gene Chip HG-U133 Plus 2.0 array.

Effect of maternal dioxin exposure on pituitary mRNAs in fetal rats at gestational day 18

Project description:We found that oral administration of TCDD (1 µg/kg) to pregnant rats on gestational day 15 suppressed pituitary syntheisis of growth hormone during the last fetal stage. We performed a DNA microarray analysis to identify the genes linked to the attenuated expression of GH, using the male and female fetal pituitary at GD18 when the reduced expression of GH started to occur because of TCDD.

Sex-specific early growth hormone responses in mouse liver (Mus musculus)

Project description:Sex differences in liver gene expression are dictated by sex-differences in circulating growth hormone (GH) profiles. Presently, the pituitary hormone dependence of mouse liver gene expression was investigated on a global scale to discover sex-specific early GH response genes that might contribute to sex-specific regulation of downstream GH targets and to ascertain whether intrinsic sex-differences characterize hepatic responses to plasma GH stimulation. RNA expression analysis using 41,000-feature microarrays revealed two distinct classes of sex-specific mouse liver genes: genes subject to positive regulation (class-I) and genes subject to negative regulation by pituitary hormones (class-II). Genes activated or repressed in hypophysectomized (Hypox) mouse liver within 30-90min of GH pulse treatment at a physiological dose were identified as direct targets of GH action (early response genes). Intrinsic sex-differences in the GH responsiveness of a subset of these early response genes were observed. Notably, 45 male-specific genes, including five encoding transcriptional regulators that may mediate downstream sex-specific transcriptional responses, were rapidly induced by GH (within 30min) in Hypox male but not Hypox female mouse liver. The early GH response genes were enriched in 29 male-specific targets of the transcription factor Mef2, whose activation in hepatic stellate cells is associated with liver fibrosis leading to hepatocellular carcinoma, a male-predominant disease. Thus, the rapid activation by GH pulses of certain sex-specific genes is modulated by intrinsic sex-specific factors, which may be associated with prior hormone exposure (epigenetic mechanisms) or genetic factors that are pituitary-independent, and could contribute to sex-differences in predisposition to liver cancer or other hepatic pathophysiologies.

Proteogenomic Landscape and Clinical Characterization of GH-Producing Pituitary Adenoma

Project description:Gene alteration analysis on 121 GH-producing pituitary adenomas and non-target proteomics analysis with RNA sequencing analysis on 45 non-functioning pituitary adenomas (NFPAs) and 60 growth hormone (GH)-producing pituitary adenomas were performed, and integrated these results with the clinical characteristics of acromegaly. We attempted to identify key players involved in shaping the clinical features of acromegaly, especially those related to treatment efficacy. This project revealed the importance of GNAS mutations in terms of clinical and biochemical characteristics and identified novel molecules that may be involved in the responsiveness to medical treatment.

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.
