Single cell transcriptomics of human adrenal gland reveal chromosomal alterations in adrenocortical cells

ABSTRACT: Adrenocortical cells get replenished throughout our lifetime and as such they are a cellular population of high interest in relation to adrenocortical tumours. Single cell transcriptomics of human adrenal gland were performed to identify rare subpopulations of cells, dynamics of cellular turnover and clone expansions in the adrenal cortex. The adrenal gland of this particular individual is characterized by the presence of mutant clone charecterized by aneuploidy in chromosomes 8, 9, 13 and 22, occupying the zona glomerulosa and zona fasciculata. Differential expression analysis of the mutant cells revealed upregulation of MC2R (adrenocorticotropic hormone receptor), CYP21A2, HSD3B2 genes (enzymes involved in cortisol production). Overall, this donor sample is an example of clonal tissue expansions carrying chromosomal rearrangements that likely impact organ morphology and function but are seemingly benign.

Cell Atlas at Single-Nuclei Resolution of the Adult Human Adrenal Gland and Adrenocortical Adenomas

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.

Succinate mediates inflammation-induced adrenocortical dysfunction

Project description:Inflammation leads the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis activation and increased production of glucocorticoids, which produced by the adrenal cortex, exert potent anti-inflammatory effects. The use of omics, including proteomics revealed metabolic changes in steroidogenic adrenocortical cells, including downregulation of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle and oxidative phosphorylation, decreased ATP production and induction of oxidative stress after lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation.

Identification of genes regulated by overexpressed SF-1 in human adrenocortical cells

Project description:SF-1, a transcription factor belonging to the nuclear receptor superfamily, has a pivotal role for adrenogonadal development in humans and mice. A constant feature of childhood adrenocortical tumors (ACT) is SF-1 amplification and overexpression. Using an inducible cellular system, here we show that SF-1 overexpression increases human adrenocortical cell proliferation through opposing effects on cell cycle and apoptosis. SF-1 overexpression also selectively modulates steroidogenesis, reducing cortisol and aldosterone secretion. We identified a novel pro-apoptotic factor for adrenocortical cells, NOV/CCN3, whose levels are significantly reduced by SF-1 overexpression in human adrenocortical cells and are also reduced in primary adrenal tumors. Moreover, Sf-1 overexpression triggers adrenocortical hyperplasia and tumor formation in mice. These tumors express gonadal markers and activated Stat3. Our studies reveal the critical role of SF-1 gene dosage for adrenocortical tumorigenesis and constitute a rationale for the development of drugs targeting SF-1 transcriptional activity for ACT therapy. Keywords: differential expression, transcription factor Gene expression profiles were analyzed in two different H295R TR/SF-1 WT clones overexpressing SF-1 in a tetracycline-regulated fashion cultured in basal conditions or after three days of doxycycline treatment. For each condition, two biological replicates were examined.

Gene exrpression profiling of childhood adrenocortical tumors

Project description:Pediatric adrenocortical tumors (ACT) are rare and often fatal malignancies; little is known regarding their etiology and biology. To provide additional insight into the nature of ACT, we determined the gene expression profiles of 24 pediatric tumors (five adenomas, 18 carcinomas, and one undetermined) and seven normal adrenal glands. Distinct patterns of gene expression, validated by quantitative real-time PCR and Western blot analysis, were identified that distinguish normal adrenal cortex from tumor. Differences in gene expression were also identified between adrenocortical adenomas and carcinomas. In addition, pediatric adrenocortical carcinomas were found to share similar patterns of gene expression when compared with those published for adult ACT. This study represents the first microarray analysis of childhood ACT. Our findings lay the groundwork for establishing gene expression profiles that may aid in the diagnosis and prognosis of pediatric ACT, and in the identification of signaling pathways that contribute to this disease. We used microarrays to explore the expression profiles differentially expressed in childhood adrenocortical tumors and in normal adrenal gland tissues. Pediatric adrenocortical adenoma and carcinoma patients were enrolled on the International Pediatric Adrenocortical Tumor Registry (IPACTR) and Bank protocol. Tumor specimens were harvested during surgery and snap frozen in liquid nitrogen to preserve tissue integrity. Data have been compiled for eight males and 15 females between 0 and 16 years of age. Table 1 (West et al, Cancer Research 67:601-608, 2007) summarizes the primary clinical information for each subject (excluding sample Unk1 with ACT of undetermined histology), including stage of the disease, tumor class, sex, age, relapse-free survival, and overall survival.

In situ spatial reconstruction of distinct normal and pathological cell populations within the human adrenal gland

Project description:The human adrenal gland consists of concentrically organized functionally distinct regions responsible for hormone production. Dysregulation of adrenocortical cell differentiation alters the proportion and organization of the functional zones of the adrenal cortex leading to disease. Current models of adrenocortical cell differentiation are based on mouse studies, but there are known organizational and functional differences between human and mouse adrenal glands. This study aimed to investigate the centripetal differentiation model in the human adrenal cortex and characterize aldosterone-producing micronodules (APMs) to better understand adrenal diseases such as primary aldosteronism. We applied spatially resolved in situ transcriptomics to human adrenal tissue sections from two individuals and identified distinct cell populations and their positional relationships. The results supported the centripetal differentiation model in humans, with cells progressing from the outer capsule to the zona glomerulosa, zona fasciculata, and zona reticularis. Additionally, we characterized two APMs in a 72-year-old female. Comparison with earlier APM transcriptomes indicated a subset of core genes, but also heterogeneity between APMs. The findings contribute to our understanding of normal and pathological cellular differentiation in the human adrenal cortex.

Long noncoding RNAs profiles of adrenocortical carcinomas, adrenocortical adenomas and normal adrenal cortex

Project description:Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is an aggressive malignancy with high rates of recurrence following surgical resection. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play an important role in cancer development. Pathogenesis of adrenal tumours has been characterised by mRNA, microRNA and methylation expression signatures but it is unknown if this extends to lncRNAs. We sought to describe lncRNA expression signatures in adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC), adrenal cortical adenoma (ACA) and normal adrenal cortex (NAC). RNA was extracted from freshly frozen tissue with confirmation of diagnosis by histopathology. Focused lncRNA and mRNA transcriptome analysis was performed using the ArrayStar Human LncRNA V3.0 microarray. Differentially expressed lncRNAs were validated using qRT-PCR.

Novel markers of gonadectomy-induced adrenocortical neoplasia in the mouse and ferret

Project description:Gonadectomy (GDX) induces sex steroid-producing adrenocortical tumors in certain mouse strains and in the domestic ferret. Complementary approaches, including DNA methylation mapping and microarray expression profiling, were used to identify novel genetic and epigenetic markers of GDX-induced adrenocortical neoplasia in female DBA/2J mice. Markers were validated by quantitative RT-PCR, laser capture microdissection, in situ hybridization, and immunohistochemistry. Two genes with hypomethylated promoters, Igfbp6 and Foxs1, were upregulated in post-GDX adrenocortical neoplasms. The neoplastic cells also exhibited hypomethylation of the fetal adrenal enhancer of Sf1, an epigenetic signature that typifies descendants of fetal adrenal rather than gonadal cells. Expression profiling demonstrated upregulation of gonadal-like genes, including Spinlw1, Insl3, and Foxl2, in GDX-induced adrenocortical tumors of the mouse. One of these markers, FOXL2, was detected in adrenocortical tumor specimens from gonadectomized ferrets. These new markers may prove useful for studies of steroidogenic cell development and for diagnostic testing. Total RNA extracted from whole adrenal glands of gonadectomized and non-gonadectomized mice.
