Gene expression profiling in human ACTH-secreting pituitary tumors

ABSTRACT: Corticotropin (ACTH)-secreting pituitary adenomas give rise to a severe endocrinological disorder, i.e., Cushing’s disease, with multifaceted clinical presentation and treatment outcomes. Experimental studies suggested that disease variability is inherent to the pituitary tumor, thus pointing to the need for further studies into tumor biology. Aim of the present study was to evaluate transcriptome expression pattern in a large series of ACTH-secreting pituitary adenoma specimens, in order to identify molecular signatures of these tumors. Gene expression profiling of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded specimens from 40 human ACTH-secreting pituitary adenomas revealed significant expression of genes involved in protein biosynthesis and ribosomal function, in keeping with neuroendocrine cell profile. Unsupervised cluster analysis identified three distinct gene profile clusters and several genes were uniquely overexpressed in a given cluster, accounting for different molecular signatures. Of note, gene expression profiles were associated with clinical features such as age and size of the tumor. Altogether, our study shows that corticotrope tumors are characterized by neuroendocrine gene expression profile and present subgroup-specific molecular features.

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.

The Epigenomic Landscape of Pituitary Adenomas Reveals Specific Alterations and Differentiates Among Acromegaly, Cushing's Disease and Endocrine-Inactive Subtypes

Project description:Recurrent single-nucleotide and small indel somatic mutations were infrequent among the three adenoma subtypes. However, somatic copy-number alterations (SCNA) were identified in all three pituitary adenoma subtypes. Methylation analysis revealed adenoma subtype-specific DNA methylation profiles, with GHsecreting adenomas being dominated by hypomethylated sites. Likewise, gene-expression patterns revealed adenoma subtype-specific profiles. Integrating DNA methylation and gene-expression data revealed that hypomethylation of promoter regions are related with increased expression of GH1 and SSTR5 genes in GH-secreting adenomas and POMC gene in ACTH secreting adenomas. Finally, multispectral IHC staining of immune-related proteins showed abundant expression of PD-L1 among all three adenoma subtypes.

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.

Transcriptional changes associated with functioning and non-functioning Pituitary adenomas.

Project description:The reasons why some pituitary adenomas are fucntioning(secreting hormones) or not is not well understood. This analysis dig into the transcriptomes of secreting and non-secreting corticotropic adenomas as well as non-fucntioning gonadotropic adenomas.

Interactions between pituitary cell lineages direct tissue architecture and size

Project description:Organ architecture is established during development through specific cell:cell contacts. The mechanisms responsible for these specific cell interactions remain poorly understood. In order to address this question, we used the anterior pituitary gland that harbors five different and interdigitated hormone-secreting homotypic cell networks. We now report that blocking differentiation of the first lineage to arise during pituitary development, the corticotrope cells, leads to pituitary hypoplasia with a major effect on the somatotrope cells that are fewer, with less secretory granules and a loss of cell polarity. These somatotrope cell phenotypes are dependent on gene dosage for the corticotrope-restricted transcription factor Tpit. In addition, the Tpit-deficient pituitary is hyper-vascularized. Single cell transcriptomics identifiy corticotrope and somatotrope regulatory and signaling pathways that may underlie cell:cell communications responsible for these phenotypes. Collectively, the results indicate that the corticotrope cell network is an important paracrine signalling center regulating pituitary architecture and size.

Effect of FTO-KD on m6A modification in GH3 cell line [MeRIP-seq]

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.
