Autocrine-paracrine pathways in primary adrenal disorders

Lefebvre Hervé , Contesse Vincent , Cartier Dorthe , Perraudin Véronique , Delarue Catherine , Vaudry Hubert , Bertherat Jérôme , Plouin Pierre-François , Kuhn Jean-Marc , Louiset Estelle

It is now well demonstrated that, in the human adrenal gland, aldosterone and cortisol productions are stimulated by autocrine/paracrine factors, like serotonin (5-HT) and arginine vasopressin (AVP). Several data indicate that these signals may also be involved in the regulation of corticosteroidogenesis in adrenocortical hyperplasias and tumors. 5-HT is detected in clusters of steroidogenic cells in aldosterone-producing adrenocortical adenomas (APAs), and in both ACTH-indepe...

Benign adrenal tumors correspond to a spectrum of distinct tumors, including uni- and bilateral diseases with distinct morphological features, and various steroid hormone secretion types and levels. The aim is to study this variability at the molecular level using pan-genomic approaches.Methods: One hundred and forty six benign adrenal tumors, including adrenocortical adenomas (ACA, N=), primary macronodular adrenal hyperplasia (PMAH, N=), and primary pi...

Constitutional duplication of PRKACA gene is a cause of isolated primary pigmented nodular adrenocortical disease (PPNAD): Results of its systematic search in bilateral nodular adrenal disease

Background: Constitutional duplications of the PRKACA gene locus have been described as responsible for adrenal Cushing’s disease.The objective here was to evaluate the results of its systematic screening in bilateral adrenal nodular disease and to specify the associated phenotype.Methods: Between 2020 and 2023, 440 consecutive index cases with macronodular or micronodular adrenal hyperplasia or Carney Complex (CNC) w...

Transcriptome in paraffin samples for the diagnosis and prognosis of pituitary neuroendocrine tumors (PITNETS)

Benanteur Nesrine , Villa Chiara , Birtolo Maria Francesca , Jouinot Anne , De Murat Daniel , Letourneur Franck , Gaillard Stephan , Raffin-Sanson Marie-Laure , Emile Jean-Francois , Bertherat Jerome , Baussard Bertrand , Assie Guillaume

An initial multi-omics analysis of PitNETs has refined histological classifications, and could improve diagnostic and prognostic assessment (Neou, Cancer Cell 2020). Of all omics, transcriptome best discriminates between these different classes. This molecular classification has been built upon frozen samples, which are difficult to use in routine clinical practice.Aim: Demonstrate the feasibility of measuring the transcriptome in Formalin-Fixed Paraffin...

Decrease in anticortisolic drug osilodrostat plasma exposure in patients treated with mitotane for an adrenocortical carcinoma

Introduction: The steroidogenesis inhibitor osilodrostat (OSI), indicated for the medical treatment of endogenous Cushing’s syndrome, exhibits significant interindividual variability regarding the response to treatment (Pivonello et al. 2020). Plasma exposure may contribute to this variability. Our objective was to investigate the effect of concomitant use of mitotane (MIT), a potent inducer of CYP450 (3A4), on circulating OSI concentrations in patients treated f...

Description of 38 novel ARMC5 variants and review of the literature: the updated mutational landscape of ARMC5 in Bilateral Macronodular Adrenocortical Disease

Introduction: Bilateral Macronodular Adrenocortical Disease (BMAD) is a rare cause of Cushing syndrome due to bilateral adrenocortical macronodules. Germline inactivating variants of the tumor suppressor gene ARMC5 have been described by our group 10 years ago and are responsible for 20-25% of apparently sporadic BMAD cases and 80% of familial presentations. ARMC5 patients present with a more pronounced phenotype than wild-type patients, in terms of cortisol ...

Increased frequency of breast cancer in young Carney Complex patients suggests a role for inactivation of the tumor suppressor gene PRKAR1A

Objective: Carney Complex (CNC) is a rare hereditary genetic syndrome, mostly due to inactivating pathogenic variants of the tumor suppressor gene PRKAR1A. It has a wide spectrum of manifestations with frequent pigmented skin lesions, cardiac myxomas, primary pigmented nodular adrenocortical dysplasia, acromegaly and thyroid cancers. Breast benign tumors (fibroadenomas, ductal adenomas and myxoid lesions) have been associated with CNC, but so far, association with mal...
