Project description:Background: Circulating miRNAs in pituitary adenoma would help patient care especially in non-functioning adenoma cases as minimally invasive biomarkers of tumor recurrence and progression. Aim: Our aim was to investigate plasma miRNA profile in patients with pituitary adenoma. Materials and Methods: 149 plasma and extracellular vesicle (preoperative, early- and late postoperative) samples were collected from 45 pituitary adenoma patients. Adenomas were characterized based on anterior pituitary hormones and transcription factors by immunostaining. MiRNA next generation sequencing was performed on 36 samples (discovery set). Individual TaqMan assay was used for validation on extended sample set. PA tissue miRNAs were evaluated by TaqMan array and literature data. Results: Global downregulation of miRNA expression was observed in plasma samples of pituitary adenoma patients compared to normal samples. Expression of 29 miRNAs and isomiR variants were able to distinguish preoperative plasma samples and normal controls. MiRNAs with altered expression in both plasma and different adenoma tissues were identified. 3, 7 and 66 miRNAs expressed differentially between preoperative and postoperative plasma samples in growth hormone secreting, FSH/LH+ and hormone-immunonegative groups, respectively. MiR-143-3p was downregulated in late- but not in early postoperative plasma samples compared to preoperative ones exclusively in FSH/LH+ adenomas. Plasma level of miR-143-3p discriminated these samples with 81.8% sensitivity and 72.3% specificity (AUC=0.79; p=0.02). Conclusions: Differentially expressed miRNAs in pituitary adenoma tissues have low abundance in plasma minimizing their role as biomarkers. Plasma miR-143-3p decreases in patients with FSH/LH+ adenoma indicated successful surgery, but its application for evaluating tumor recurrence needs further investigation.

Project description:The reasons why some pituitary adenomas are fucntioning(secreting hormones) or not is not well understood. This analysis dig into the transcriptomes of secreting and non-secreting corticotropic adenomas as well as non-fucntioning gonadotropic adenomas.

Project description:Gonadotroph adenomas comprise 15–40 % of all pituitary tumors, are usually non-functioning and are often large and invasive at presentation. Surgery is the first-choice treatment, but complete resection is not always achieved, leading to high recurrence rates. As gonadotroph adenomas poorly respond to conventional pharmacological therapies, novel treatment strategies are needed. Their identification has been hampered by our incomplete understanding of the molecular pathogenesis of these tumors. Recently, we dem¬onstrated that MENX-affected rats develop gonadotroph adenomas closely resembling their human counterparts. To discover new genes/pathways involved in gonadotroph cells tumorigenesis, we performed transcriptome profiling of rat tumors versus normal pituitary. Adenomas showed overrep¬resentation of genes involved in cell cycle, development, cell differentiation/proliferation, and lipid metabolism. Bioinfor¬matic analysis identified downstream targets of the transcrip¬tion factor SF-1 as being up-regulated in rat (and human) adenomas. Meta-analyses demonstrated remarkable similari¬ties between gonadotroph adenomas in rats and humans, and highlighted common dysregulated genes, several of which were not previously implicated in pituitary tumorigenesis. Two such genes, CYP11A1 and NUSAP1, were analyzed in 39 human gonadotroph adenomas by qRT-PCR and found to be up-regulated in 77 and 95 % of cases, respectively. Immunohistochemistry detected high P450scc (encoded by CYP11A1) and NuSAP expression in 18 human gonado¬troph tumors. In vitro studies demonstrated for the first time that Cyp11a1 is a target of SF-1 in gonadotroph cells and promotes proliferation/survival of rat pituitary adenoma pri¬mary cells and cell lines. Our studies reveal clues about the molecular mechanisms driving rat and human gonadotroph adenomas development, and may help identify previously unexplored biomarkers for clinical use.

Project description:This dataset contains high throughput sequencing data from Non-functioning pituitary adenomas (NFPAs) together with associated control sections of healthy pituitary which was obtained from formalin-fixed paraffin embeded samples. All of the samles come from patients of Maria Sklodowska-Curie Memorial Cancer Center in Warsaw. All the samples were sequenced using Ion Torrent technology in Maria Sklodwoska-Curie Memorial Cancer Center in Warsaw. They were further processed and used to perform complex analyses using other high-throughput data.

Project description:This series includes the four major subtypes of pituitary adenomas and normal post-mortem pituitary tissue; Data Transformation; Using Affymetrix Microarray Suite 5.0 global scaling was applied to the quantification data to adjust the average recorded to a target intensity of 100. Data were then exported into the bioinformatics software GeneSpring 6.0 (Silicon Genetics, Redwood City, CA) for further analysis. Data normalization was performed to scale the data so that the average intensity value on each array was 1 by dividing each expression value by the median of the expression levels on each chip. The individual gene expression levels for each of the 4 pituitary adenoma subtype arrays was divided by the expression level in the normal pituitary array. Thus, the data are presented as relative to the expression in normal pituitary tissue. Filtering was then performed to identify genes over-expressed or under-expressed at least 2.0 fold in tumours compared to normal pituitary. TABLE 1:; The genes / ESTs differentially overexpressed >= 2-fold in at least one pituitary adenoma subtype compared to normal pituitary. Negative values represent underexpression. Where genes are represented by more than one probe set, individual probe data sets are given. TABLE 2:; The genes / ESTs differentially underexpressed >= 2-fold in at least one pituitary adenoma subtype compared to normal pituitary. Negative values represent underexpression. Where genes are represented by more than one probe set, individual probe data sets are given.

Project description:Differential diagnosis of adrenocortical adenoma and carcinoma is of pivotal clinical relevance, as the prognosis and clinical management of benign and malignant adrenocortical tumours is entirely different. Circulating microRNAs are promising biomarker candidates of malignancy in several tumours. In the present study we investigate circulating microRNAs in adrenocortical tumours and to evaluate their potential applicability as biomarkers of malignancy. For the miRNA profiling, 8 preoperative plasma samples obtained from patients with adrenocortical adenomas and carcinomas and were studied by microarray.
