Project description:Macrophages were identified in the pituitary gland long ago, but until recently, we lacked the resolution to comprehensively profile the pituitary gland macrophage compartment. To address this, we examined the developmental kinetics and distinctive characteristics of pituitary macrophages within the developing and homeostatic gland. Whole pituitary glands were collected from newborn (NB) to adult (8 weeks old) wild-type (WT) mice. Our analysis revealed diverse macrophage subsets with marked differences in gene expression profiles and spatial localization, undergoing dynamic phenotypic changes from neonatal stages to adulthood. We observed distinct transcriptional profiles between macrophage subpopulations in the anterior and posterior lobes, underscoring significant molecular divergences. Fate-mapping analyses showed that pituitary macrophages originate from early yolk sac precursors and persist throughout life primarily through local proliferation, even under pathophysiological conditions.

Project description:In Poland, conducted for years porcine breeding works focused on improving meat content in the carcass without undertaken to accomplish the more effectiveness of fattening indicators that impact on feed efficiency. At present, feeding and feed conversion became important factors that are especially evident in the countries where the production of fattening pigs is conducted in large farms. In the present study, was attempted to indicate pituitary candidate genes depending on feed conversion ratio (FCR) in native Polish pig breed, Złotnicka White. The whole pituitary transcriptome was sequenced using next-generation sequencing technology. The obtained results show the differences in gene expression for pathways associated with hormonal regulation and also with Notch and Wnt signaling. Moreover, it was observed that worse FCR in Złotnicka pigs was associated with a higher fat level in a carcass and a significant higher level of prolactin expression in the pituitary.

Project description:Pituitary adenomas cause significant endocrine and mass-related morbidity. Not much is known about mechanisms underlying pituitary tumor pathogenesis.We searched for a side population (SP) in pituitary tumor, representing cells with high efflux capacity and potentially enriching for cancer/tumor stem cells (CSC/TSC). Human pituitary adenomas contain a SP irrespective of hormonal phenotype. This adenoma SP, as well as the further purified SP (pSP) depleted from endothelial and immune cells, enriches for cells that express ‘tumor stemness’ markers and signaling pathways, including epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-linked factors. The adenomas were found to contain self-renewing sphere-forming cells, considered a property of TSC. The sphere-initiating cells were retrieved in the pSP.Because benign pituitary adenomas do not grow in vitro and failed to expand in immunodeficient mice, the pituitary tumor cell line AtT20 was further used. We identified a SP in this cell line and found it more tumorigenic than the main population (MP). Of the two EMT-regulatory pathways tested, inhibition of Cxcr4 signaling reduced EMT-linked cell motility in vitro as well as xenograft tumor growth, whereas activation of TGFβ had no effect.The tumor pSP showed upregulated expression of the pituitary stem cell marker SOX2. Pituitaries from dopamine receptor D2 knockout (Drd2-/-) mice bearing prolactinomas, contain more pSP, Sox2+ and colony-forming cells than wildtype glands.In conclusion, we detected a SP in pituitary tumors and identified TSC-associated characteristics. Our study may contribute to a better understanding of pituitary tumor pathogenesis and lead to new therapeutic targets. We determined gene expression profiles for 9 human pituitary adenoma samples (5 x NF-A; 4 x GH-A). The samples were obtained immediately after transsphenoidal resection (by the neurosurgeon Dr. van Loon, Division Neurosurgery, University Hospitals Leuven). Informed consent was received from the patients. Hormonal phenotype was determined by the Department of Imaging and Pathology (University Hospitals Leuven). For each sample, total SP and MP cells were sorted by FACS. Separate assays were run subsequently for the two fractions. As such we present data from 18 microarrays.

Project description:The regulation of pituitary function via the hypothalamus and via intra-pituitary connections represents a complex system. Though hormones secreted from the pituitary glands have been well studied, overall information of proteins expressed in the pituitary glands is very limited. Protein expression profiling of normal pituitary tissue may lead to discovery of novel proteins playing an important role in the physiology of pituitary glands and can lead to better understanding of pituitary gland diseases. We aimed to carry out systematic proteomic profiling of adenohypophysis from human pituitary glands using high-resolution Fourier transform mass spectrometer. A total of 2,175 proteins were identified in this study of which, 105 proteins were identified for the first time as compared to high throughput proteomic-based studies from human pituitary glands. The comprehensive list of proteins identified in this study will facilitate the better understanding the role of this important gland in health and disease.
