Molecular characteristics of the KCNJ5 mutated aldosterone-producing adenomas.

ABSTRACT: The pathophysiology of aldosterone-producing adenomas (APAs) has been investigated via genetic approaches and the pathogenic significance of a series of somatic mutations, including KCNJ5, has been uncovered. However, how the mutational status of an APA is associated with its molecular characteristics, including its transcriptome and methylome, has not been fully understood. This study was undertaken to explore the molecular characteristics of APAs, specifically focusing on APAs with KCNJ5 mutations as opposed to those without KCNJ5 mutations, by comparing their transcriptome and methylome status. Cortisol-producing adenomas (CPAs) were used as reference. We conducted transcriptome and methylome analyses of 29 APAs with KCNJ5 mutations, 8 APAs without KCNJ5 mutations and 5 CPAs. Genome-wide gene expression and CpG methylation profiles were obtained from RNA and DNA samples extracted from these 42 adrenal tumors. Cluster analysis of the transcriptome and methylome revealed molecular heterogeneity in APAs depending on their mutational status. DNA hypomethylation and gene expression changes in Wnt signaling and inflammatory response pathways were characteristic of APAs with KCNJ5 mutations. Comparisons between transcriptome data from our APAs and that from normal adrenal cortex obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus suggested similarities between APAs with KCNJ5 mutations and zona glomerulosa. The present study, which is based on transcriptome and methylome analyses, indicates the molecular heterogeneity of APAs depends on their mutational status. Here, we report the unique characteristics of APAs with KCNJ5 mutations.

Somatic mutations in SLC30A1 lead to aldosterone-producing adenomas and primary aldosteronism

Project description:Primary aldosteronism (PA), the most common form of endocrine hypertension, is characterized by inappropriately elevated aldosterone production via renin-independent mechanisms. Driver somatic mutations for aldosterone excess have been found in approximately 90% of aldosterone-producing adenomas (APAs) using an aldosterone synthase (CYP11B2)-guided sequencing approach. Herein, using CYP11B2-guided whole-exome sequencing (WES) and targeted amplicon sequencing, we detected two closely-stationed somatic variants in SLC30A1 in five APAs (p.L51_A57del, n=3; p.L49_L55del, n=2) that were devoid of any of the known aldosterone-driver mutations. SLC30A1 encodes the ubiquitous zinc efflux transporter ZnT1 (zinc transporter 1). PA cases with SLC30A1 mutations showed male dominance and demonstrated increased serum aldosterone concentration compared with age-matched male controls. We tested functional effects of the variant SLC30A1L51_A57del in a doxycycline-inducible system using the human adrenocortical HAC15 cell line. Functional in vitro studies following doxycycline treatment indicated increased adrenal cell aldosterone production, CYP11B2 mRNA expression, CYP11B2 promoter activity, depolarization of the resting membrane potential and increased cytosolic Ca2+ levels in the SLC30A1L51_A57del cells. Collectively, these data support a pathological role for mutant SLC30A1 on the development of PA.

Expression data from aldosterone-producing adenomas (APAs) with a somatic mutation in either KCNJ5, CACNA1D, or ATP1A1

Project description:Analysis of aldosterone-producing adenoma (APA) samples from patients with primary hyperaldosteronism. These APAs have a somatic mutation in either KCNJ5, CACNA1D, or ATP1A1. Results provide insight into the different mechanisms each mutation may cause leading to elevated aldosterone production in APA. In this dataset, we include expression data from aldosterone-producing adenomas (APAs) with a somatic mutation in either KCNJ5, CACNA1D, or ATP1A1. These data are used to obtain differentially expressed genes between KCNJ5 mutant APAs and CACNA1D/ATP1A1 mutant APAs. A total of 13 samples were analyzed (8 KCNJ5 mutant APAs and 5 CACNA1D/ATP1A1 mutant APAs). 43 genes had a false discovery rate (FDR) <0.5% and were >2-fold different between KCNJ5 mutant APAs and 5 CACNA1D/ATP1A1 mutant APAs. The two sets of genotypes were separated on unsupervised hierarchical clustering of 1475 genes correlating >0.6 with CYP11B2.

Activation of cyclic AMP signaling leads to different pathway alterations in lesions of the adrenal cortex caused by germline PRKAR1A defects versus those due to somatic GNAS mutations

Project description:PRKAR1A inactivating mutations are responsible for primary pigmented nodular adrenocortical disease (PPNAD) whereas somatic GNAS activating mutations cause macronodular disease in the context of McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS), ACTH-independent hyperplasia (AIMAH) and, rarely, cortisol-producing adenomas (CPA). The whole-genome expression profile (WGEP) of normal (pooled) adrenals, PRKAR1A- (3) and GNAS-mutant (3) was studied. Total RNA obtained from adrenal tumors were compared to those samples obtained from normal adrenal pools

Proteogenomic Landscape and Clinical Characterization of GH-Producing Pituitary Adenoma

Project description:Gene alteration analysis on 121 GH-producing pituitary adenomas and non-target proteomics analysis with RNA sequencing analysis on 45 non-functioning pituitary adenomas (NFPAs) and 60 growth hormone (GH)-producing pituitary adenomas were performed, and integrated these results with the clinical characteristics of acromegaly. We attempted to identify key players involved in shaping the clinical features of acromegaly, especially those related to treatment efficacy. This project revealed the importance of GNAS mutations in terms of clinical and biochemical characteristics and identified novel molecules that may be involved in the responsiveness to medical treatment.

DNA copy number changes in colorectal flat adenomas

Project description:Background & aim: Flat adenomas form a specific phenotype of colorectal adenomas that has been associated with more severe molecular changes and consequently a more aggressive clinical behavior compared to their polypoid counterparts. In the present study we set out to compare one of the molecular changes most explicitly associated with adenoma to carcinoma progression, i.e. chromosomal instability, between flat and polypoid colorectal adenomas. Methods: Consecutive series of 83 flat and 35 polypoid adenomas were analyzed for DNA copy number changes using a high resolution arrayCGH platform as well as for mutations in the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene. Gene ontology on the genes located on the significantly different regions was performed. Results: Overall, flat adenomas show similar DNA copy number changes as polypoid adenomas. Patterns of DNA copy number changes differed between the two phenotypes with significantly more frequently loss of 5q14.3 and 5q15-q23.3 in flat adenomas, while loss of 1p36.32-p35.3, 10q25.2-q25.3, 17p12 and chromosome 18 were more frequent in polypoid adenomas. The 5q15-q23.3 region harbors the APC locus, therefore mutation status of APC was investigated, showing significantly less mutations in flat adenomas. Pathway analysis and datamining linked the 5q region to inflammation. Conclusion: These results provide evidence that flat and polypoid adenomas have partly overlapping DNA copy number changes, while alterations more specific to flat adenomas have associations with inflammation. Loss of 5q has been associated with aggressive behavior and this could serve as an explanation for a more aggressive clinical behavior of flat lesions. FFPE colorectal tissue samples of 35 polypoid adenomas and 83 flat adenomas. Test samples were compared to an external pool of normal male/female reference DNA.

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.
