Gene expression in somatotropic pituitary tumors

ABSTRACT: 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.

Genome wide analysis of circulating miRNAs in growth hormone secreting pituitary neuroendocrine tumor patients' plasma

Project description:Objective Circulating plasma miRNAs have been increasingly studied in the field of pituitary neuroendocrine tumor (PitNET) research. Our aim was to discover circulating plasma miRNAs species associated with growth hormone (GH) secreting PitNETs and assess how the plasma levels of discovered miRNA candidates are impacted by SSA therapy and whether there is a difference in their levels between GH secreting PitNETs and other PitNET types. Methods miRNA candidates were discovered using the whole miRNA sequencing approach and differential expression analysis. Selected miRNAs were then analyzed using real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). Results Whole miRNA sequencing discovered a total of 19 differentially expressed miRNAs (DEMs) in GH secreting PitNET patients' plasma 24 hours after surgery and 19 DEMs between GH secreting PitNET patients’ plasma and non-functioning (NF) PitNET patients’ plasma. Seven miRNAs were selected for further testing of which miR-625-5p, miR-503-5p miR-181a-2-3p and miR-130b-3p showed a significant downregulation in plasma after 1 month of SSA treatment. miR-181a-5p and mir-625-5p were also found to be significantly downregulated in plasma of GH secreting PitNET patients vs. NF PitNET patients. Conclusions Our study suggests that expression of plasma miRNAs miR-625-5p, miR-503-5p miR-181a-2-3p and miR-130b-3p in GH secreting PitNETs is affected by SSA treatment. Additionally, miR-625-5p and miR-181a-5p can distinguish GH secreting PitNETs from other PitNET types warranting further research on these miRNAs for treatment efficacy.

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.

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).

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.

Gene expression profiling in human ACTH-secreting pituitary tumors

Project description: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.

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

Project description: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.

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.
