Differential Gene Expression and Pathway Analysis in Growth Hormone-Secreting Pituitary Tumors According to Granulation Pattern

ABSTRACT: This study investigated differential gene expression between granulation patterns in growth hormone (GH)-secreting pituitary tumors, aiming to elucidate novel transcriptomes that explain clinical variances in patients with acromegaly. Transcriptome analysis was conducted on 6 normal pituitary tissues and 15 GH-secreting pituitary tumors, including 9 densely granulated somatotroph tumors (DGSTs) and 6 sparsely granulated somatotroph tumors (SGSTs). We identified 3111 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in tumors compared to normal pituitaries, with 1117 DEGs unique to a specific granulation within tumors. SGST showed enrichment of neuronal development and acute inflammatory response pathways, along with a significant enhancement of JAK–STAT, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, and MAPK signaling. The results suggest that granulation-specific gene expression may underpin diverse clinical presentations in acromegaly, highlighting the potential for further investigation into these transcriptomic variations and their roles in disease pathology, particularly the involvement of genes linked to neuronal development, inflammatory response, and JAK–STAT signaling in SGST.

Gene expression in somatotropic pituitary tumors

Project description:Acromegaly is a severe and life-threatening disease caused by persistent excess of growth hormone (GH) which stimulates the synthesis and secretion of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1). In the majority (95%) of patients acromegaly is caused by sporadic GH-secreting neuroendocrine pituitary tumor (PitNET). Acromegaly-causing tumors are histologically diverse. The aim was to determine transcriptomic profiles in different histological subtypes and evaluate clinical implication of differential gene expression.

Transcriptomic effects of medical treatment on gene expression of growth hormone secreting pituitary neruoendocrine tumour biology

Project description:Pituitary neuroendocrine tumours (PitNET) are rare neoplasms of the pituitary gland that can overproduce pituitary hormones or cause headaches and visual impairment due to mass effect. Growth hormone overproducing somatotroph PitNETs cause acromegaly leading to wide range of connective tissue, metabolic and oncologic disorders. The medical treamment of acromegaly is somatostin analogues (SSA) in specific cases combined with dopamine agnoists (DA), but almost half of patients excert SSA resistence and potential causes of this is unknown. The aim of this study was to characterize transcriptomic patterns of somatotroph PitNETs specifically assessing impact of SSA treatment effects. We investigated gene expession on several levels and functional models of GH PitNETs - tumour tissue of patients with and without SSA preoperative treamtment, tumour derived pituisphere model and classically used GH3 cell line treated with SSA.

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).

Multilineage pituitary neuroendocrine tumors with PIT1/SF1 co-expression

Project description:Pituitary neuroendocrine tumors (PitNET)/adenomas are classified according to cell lineage, which requires immunohistochemistry for the transcription factors (TFs) PIT1, SF1, and TPIT. Co-expression of PIT1/SF1 was previously reported in PitNETs, which otherwise correspond to the somatotroph lineage. However, little is known about the clinicopathological features of these tumors. We compiled an in-house case series of 100 tumors, previously diagnosed as densely or sparsely granulated somatotroph PitNETs. Following TF staining, histopathological features associated with PIT1/SF1-coexpression were assessed. Global DNA methylation profiling was conducted on 31 of 100 in-house samples and integrated with publicly available sample data. The majority (74%, 52/70) of our densely granulated somatotroph PitNETs (DGST) unequivocally co-expressed PIT1 and SF1 (DGST-PIT1/SF1). None of our SGST (0%, 0/30) stained positive for SF1 (SGST-PIT1). Integrated molecular analyses including publicly available sample data confirmed that DGST-PIT1/SF1, DGST-PIT1 and SGST-PIT1 represent distinct tumour subtypes. In summary, we spotlight that a substantial proportion of previously diagnosed densely granulated somatotroph PitNET co-express PIT1 and SF1 and exhibit clinical, histopathological, and molecular distinctness from other pure PIT1-lineage somatotroph PitNET.

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.

DNA methylation pattern in somatotroph pituitary neuroendocrine tumors

Project description:Secretion of growth hormone by sporadic somatotroph neuroendocrine pituitary tumors (PitNETs) is the most common cause of acromegaly.Genome-wide DNA methylation was investigated in 48 somatotroph PitNETs with EPIC microarrays. Three subtypes of the tumors were identified. Subtype 1 tumors are densely granulated tumors without GNAS mutation characterized by high expression of NR5A1 (SF-1) and GIPR. The expression of both genes is correlated with specific methylation pattern at gene body and promoter methylation. Subtype 1 has generally lower methylation level at 5’ gene regulatory regions and CpG islands as compared to other tumor clusters. Subtype 2 are densely granulated PiNETs with common GNAS-mutations while Subtype 3 are mainly sparsely granulated tumors. Methylation/expression analysis indicate that the levels of ~50% genes differentially expressed genes between tumor subtypes that are located at in differentially methylated regions are DNA methylation dependent. These DNA methylation-controlled genes include CDKN1B, CCND2, EBF3, CDH4, CDH12 MGMT, STAT5A, PLXND1, PTPRE and MMP16 as wells as genes encoding ion channels and semaphorins. Results of DNA methylation profiling confirms three molecular subtypes of somatotroph PitNETs that differ in both gene expression and methylation pattern. High expression of NR5A1 and GIPR in subtype 1 tumors is correlated to specific methylation at both genes.

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.

Proteogenomic Landscape and Clinical Characterization of GH-producing pituitary adenomas/ somatotroph pituitary neuroendocrine tumors

Project description:The clinical characteristics of growth hormone (GH)-producing pituitary adenomas vary across patients. In this study, we aimed to integrate the genetic alterations, protein expression profiles, transcriptomes, and clinical characteristics of GH-producing pituitary adenomas to detect molecules associated with acromegaly characteristics. Targeted capture sequencing and copy number analysis of 36 genes and non-targeted proteomics analysis were performed on fresh-frozen samples from 121 sporadic GH-producing pituitary adenomas. Targeted capture sequencing revealed GNAS as the only driver gene, as previously reported. Classification by consensus clustering using both RNA sequencing and proteomics revealed many similarities between the proteome and the transcriptome. Gene ontology analysis was performed for differentially expressed proteins between wild-type and mutant GNAS samples identified by non-targeted proteomics analysis and involved in G protein–coupled receptor (GPCR) pathways. The results suggested that GNAS mutations impact endocrinological features in acromegaly through GPCR pathway induction. ATP2A2 and ARID5B correlated with the GH change rate in the octreotide loading test, and WWC3, SERINC1, and ZFAND3 correlated with the tumor volume change rate after somatostatin analog treatment. These results identified a biological connection between GNAS mutations and the clinical and biochemical characteristics of acromegaly, revealing novel molecules associated with acromegaly that may affect medical treatment efficacy.

Effect of FTO-KD or FTO-OE on gene expression in GH3 cell line

Project description:Growth hormone-secreting pituitary adenomas account for approximately 10% of endocrine pituitary tumors and are pathologically classified into densely granulated adenomas (DGGH) and sparsely granulated adenomas (SGGH). m6A has been reported to play an important role in tumorigenesis and development, but its potential role in the pathogenesis of these two subtypes has not yet been thoroughly investigated. Consequently, we performed MeRIP-seq analysis of pituitary adenomas and the GH3 cell line. We observed that the expression of FTO was significantly increased in SGGH, leading to a reduction in m6A modification and a disruption of desmosome organization.
