Unfolded protein response (UPR) and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in acromegaly

ABSTRACT: Acromegaly is a growth hormone (GH) excess pathological condition in humans and is associated with somatic disfigurement and a wide variety of systemic manifestations such as arthritis, neuropathies, carpal tunnel syndrome, reproductive disorders, metabolic disorders, and gastrointestinal complications. Studying the effect of growth hormone (GH) excess at the cellular level could help in understanding the underlying causes of acromegaly complications. In our previous publications, we have shown that excess GH increases DNA damage and impairs DNA repair pathways in somatic cells. In addition, we revealed that excessive GH reduces the number of stem cells and causes premature aging. Exaggerated growth is one of the main features of acromegaly and therefore, in this research, we have focused on protein production and biogenesis in acromegaly and whether excess GH is associated with unfolded protein response (UPR) and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. Acromegaly-associated abnormal growth can be caused by hypertrophy or hyperplasia. Using pathway enrichment analysis of RNA seq data from our Zebrafish Acromegaly Model and Flow Cytometry Analysis, here we show a progressive increase in hepatocyte cell size and enrichment of hypertrophy pathways in the muscle and liver. That was associated with a progressive enrichment of protein production pathways and ribosome biogenesis. Moreover, using GSEA (Gene Set Enrichment Analysis) of acromegaly RNA seq data, here we show that endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is an accompanying feature of acromegaly disease. Our model exhibited endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in various organs, especially in the brain.

A Zebrafish Acromegaly Model Elevates DNA Damage and Impairs DNA Repair Pathways

Project description:Acromegaly is a pathological condition due to excess growth hormone (GH) secretion. Acromegaly patients exhibit a deterioration of health and many associated complications, such as cardiovascular issues, arthritis, kidney diseases, muscular weakness, and colon cancer. Since these complications are generalized throughout the body, we investigated the effect of GH excess on cellular integrity. Here, we established stable acromegaly model zebrafish lines that overexpress tilapia GH and the red fluorescence protein (RFP) reporter gene for tracking GH gene expression throughout generations, and performed RNA-Seq data analysis from different organs. Intriguingly, heatmap and Expression2Kinases (X2K) analysis revealed the enrichment of DNA damage markers in various organs. Moreover, H2A.X immunostaining analysis in acromegaly zebrafish larvae and the adult acromegaly model brain and muscle showed a robust increase in the number of DNA-damaged cells. Using Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA), we found that the acromegaly zebrafish model had impaired DNA repair pathways in the liver, such as double-strand break (DSB), homologous recombination repair (HRR), non-homologous end joining (NHEJ), nucleotide excision repair (NER), and translesion synthesis (TLS). Interestingly, the impairment of DNA repair was even more prominent in acromegaly model than in aged zebrafish (three years old). Thus, our study demonstrates that affection of cellular integrity is characteristic of acromegaly

Gene expression in somatotropic pituitary tumors

Project description: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.

Gene Expression Signature in Adipose Tissue of Acromegaly Patients

Project description:OBJECTIVE: Acromegaly is a rare endocrine disorder with excess growth hormone (GH) production. This disorder has important metabolic effects in insulin resistance and lipolysis. The objective of this study was to explore transcriptional changes induced by GH in adipose tissue. METHODS: The patients underwent clinical and metabolic profiling including assessment of HOMA-IR. Explants of adipose tissue were assayed ex-vivo for lipolysis and ceramide levels. Adipose tissue was analyzed by RNA sequencing (RNA-seq). RESULTS: There was evidence of reduced insulin sensitivity based on the increase in fasting glucose, insulin and HOMA-IR score. We observed several previously reported transcriptional changes (IGF1, IGFBP3) as well as several novel transcriptional changes, some of which may be important for GH signal regulation (PTPN3 and PTPN4) and the effect of GH on growth and proliferation. Several transcripts could potentially be important in GH-induced metabolic changes. Specifically, induction of LPL, ABHD5, and ACVR1C could contribute to enhanced lipolysis and may explain the suggestive enhancement of adipose tissue lipolysis in acromegaly patients as reflected by glycerol release from the explants of the two groups of patients (p=0.09). Higher expression of SCD and TCF7L2 could contribute to insulin resistance. Expression of HSD11B1 was reduced and GR was increased, predicting modified glucocorticoid activity in acromegaly. CONCLUSIONS: We identified the acromegaly gene expression signature in human adipose tissue. The significance of altered expression of specific transcripts will enhance our understanding of the metabolic and proliferative changes associated with acromegaly. DESIGN: Patients with acromegaly (n=9) or non-functioning pituitary adenoma (n=11) were prospectively observed from March 2011 to June 2012. Sequencing was performed on RNA from 7 acromegaly patients and 11 controls.

Polysome profiling in liver identifies dynamic regulation of endoplasmic reticulum translatome by obesity and fasting

Project description:Obesity-associated metabolic complications are generally considered to emerge from abnormalities in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, whereas the status of protein metabolism is not well studied. Here, we performed comparative polysome and associated transcriptional profiling analyses to study the dynamics and functional implications of endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated protein synthesis in the mouse liver under conditions of obesity and nutrient deprivation. lean wild type and genetically obese (ob/ob) mice with or without overnight fasting were sacrificed with their liver tissues removed. ER-associated polysomes were purified and analyzed by microarray.

Proteogenomic Landscape and Clinical Characterization of GH-producing pituitary adenomas/ somatotroph pituitary neuroendocrine tumors

Project description:The clinical characteristics of growth hormone (GH)-producing pituitary adenomas vary across patients. In this study, we aimed to integrate the genetic alterations, protein expression profiles, transcriptomes, and clinical characteristics of GH-producing pituitary adenomas to detect molecules associated with acromegaly characteristics. Targeted capture sequencing and copy number analysis of 36 genes and non-targeted proteomics analysis were performed on fresh-frozen samples from 121 sporadic GH-producing pituitary adenomas. Targeted capture sequencing revealed GNAS as the only driver gene, as previously reported. Classification by consensus clustering using both RNA sequencing and proteomics revealed many similarities between the proteome and the transcriptome. Gene ontology analysis was performed for differentially expressed proteins between wild-type and mutant GNAS samples identified by non-targeted proteomics analysis and involved in G protein–coupled receptor (GPCR) pathways. The results suggested that GNAS mutations impact endocrinological features in acromegaly through GPCR pathway induction. ATP2A2 and ARID5B correlated with the GH change rate in the octreotide loading test, and WWC3, SERINC1, and ZFAND3 correlated with the tumor volume change rate after somatostatin analog treatment. These results identified a biological connection between GNAS mutations and the clinical and biochemical characteristics of acromegaly, revealing novel molecules associated with acromegaly that may affect medical treatment efficacy.
