Project description:Unlike most cancers, adrenocortical carcinomas (ACC) are more frequent in women than men, but the underlying mechanisms of this sexual dimorphism remain elusive. Here, we show that inactivation of Znrf3 in steroidogenic cells of the mouse adrenal cortex is associated with sexually dimorphic tumour progression. Although female knockouts develop metastatic carcinomas at 18 months, adrenal hyperplasia regresses in male knockouts. This male-specific phenotype is associated with androgen-dependent induction of senescence, recruitment and differentiation of highly phagocytic macrophages that clear-out senescent cells. In contrast, in females, macrophage recruitment is delayed and dampened, which allows for aggressive tumour progression. Consistently, analysis of TCGA-ACC data shows that phagocytic macrophages are more prominent in men and associated with better prognosis. Altogether, these data show that phagocytic macrophages are key players in the sexual dimorphism of ACC and establish them as novel therapeutic targets for this devastating cancer.

Project description:Transcription factor GATA6 is expressed in the fetal and adult adrenal cortex and has been implicated in steroidogenesis. To characterize the role of GATA6 in adrenocortical development and function, we generated mice in which Gata6 was conditionally deleted using Cre-LoxP recombination with Sf1-cre. The adrenal glands of adult Gata6 conditional knockout (cKO) mice were small and had a thin cortex with thickened capsule. Cytomegalic changes were evident in the adrenal glands of fetal and adult cKO mice, and chromaffin cells were ectopically located at the periphery of the glands. The secretion of corticosterone in response to exogenous ACTH was blunted in cKO mice. Cells expressing gonadal-like markers, including Gata4, Amhr2, and Tcf21, accumulated in the adrenal capsule and subcapsule of cKO mice, suggesting aberrant adrenocortical progenitor/stem cell differentiation. Gonadectomy triggered the overexpression of sex steroidogenic differentiation markers, such as Lhcgr and Cyp17, in the adrenal glands of male and female cKO mice. Nulliparous female and orchiectomized male cKO mice lacked an adrenal X-zone. Microarray hybridization identified Pik3c2g as a novel X-zone marker that is downregulated in the adrenal glands of nulliparous female Gata6 cKO mice. Our findings offer genetic proof of the longstanding hypothesis that GATA6 regulates the differentiation of steroidogenic progenitors into corticoid-producing cells. 3 replicates from both conditional knockout of Gata6 in the adrenal gland and control adrenal glands from non-knockout mice were compared

Project description:The human adrenal glands are highly dynamic endocrine organs that are involved in the secretion of various hormones such as steroids and catecholamines. Here we present a single-nuclei and spatial transcriptomic analysis of healthy adult human adrenal glands to provide a complete adrenal gland atlas. With this, we show how such an atlas can be taken advantage when studying adrenocortical diseases, such as adrenocortical adenomas (ACA). Using nornal adrenal as reference, we showed a high intra-tumoural heterogeneity in the single-nuclei transcriptome of ACA, revealing the presence of specific cell populations associated with cortisol secretion and genetic background.

Project description:Human fetal adrenal glands are huge endocrine organ, produce prodigious quantities of dehydroepiandrosterone and its sulfate (DHEA/DHEAS), which is the most prominent precursor for steroid hormones, adrenal gonads dysfunction leads to states of virilization or effemination. However, for a long time the function of fetal adrenal in initial sex differentiation is unclear. Herein, we draw out a single-cell transcriptional landscape of human fetal adrenals and gonad from 6 to 14 gestational weeks (GW). We found that the adrenal glands begin to express CYP17A1 steroid-related enzyme much early than testis, subsequent testis steroid express pattern support de novo or halfway testosterone synthesis. Excepted steroidogenic cell, notably, the immune cells or neurocyte shows steroid metabolism or regulation ability, such as CD5L+ macrophage interacted with steroidogenic cell and SRD5A1+ AKR1C2+ chromaffin cells synthesis active testosterone DHT through backdoor pathway. Sex different were found at adrenal glands and gonad development: there is a small HSD3B2 peak occurs only in female adrenal glands around 10-12 GW within the time window of sex differentiation. SST expression levels or SST+ cells quantity in adrenal glands and gonads are different in two gender. Our research indicates that a sex different in spatial and temporal disparities steroidogenic regulatory networks in adrenal glands and gonads, facilitating further exploration of development and physiology of human adrenal glands.

Project description:CREM (cAMP responsive element modulator) together with CREB and ATF-1 belong to the CREB family of transcriptional factors, that respond to cyclic AMP signaling and bind to cAMP responsive element (CRE) sites in promoters of selected genes. CREM can produce isoforms that have either activating or repressing functions, depending on the transcription of specific exons. In adrenal glands it is involved in the regulation of expression of genes for steroid hormone synthesis. In this dataset, we include the expression data obtained from wild-type and Crem knock-out mouse adrenal glands.

Project description:We hypothesize that changes in adrenal gene expression mediate the increased plasma corticosterone and steroidogenesis in rat pups exposed to hypoxia from birth. Experiment Overall Design: In the current study, rat pups (with their dams) were exposed to hypoxia from birth and compared to pups from normoxic dams fed ad libitum. Adrenal glands were collected from normoxic and hypoxic pups at PD7and pooled (N=24/sample; 4 samples per treatment group) for total RNA extraction. Microarray analysis was performed, followed by verification with real-time PCR. Furthermore, the expression of selected genes involved in adrenal function was analyzed by real-time PCR, regardless of microarray results.
