Összefoglaló szövege

Introduction
Mitochondrial genome variants have been assessed only in pituitary oncocytomas but not in other subtypes of pituitary tumors. Mitochondria sequencing can be challenging because of multiple copies in a single cell (called heteroplasmy) and the presence of different mitochondrial pseudogenes encoded in the nuclear genome). Recently next generation sequencing (NGS) offers a new opportunity in investigation of mitochondrial genome variants. Due to high coverage the relative low copies can also be detected.
Aims
To apply NGS technology in detection of mitochondrial genome variants in various pituitary adenoma tumours.
Method
22 gonadotroph, 11 growth hormone producing, and 11 hormone-immunonegative pituitary adenoma samples were analysed. After DNA isolation, sequencing library was prepared using VariantPro™ Amplicon Mitochondrion Panel kit and total mitochondrial genome was sequenced on Illumina MiSeq Instrument. Complex bioinformatical and statistical analysis followed by Sanger sequencing validation was carried out.
Results
High total coverage and coverage depth (630 ±370 reads; avg±SE) was achieved. Parallel runs of the same samples showed high correlation. 496 mitochondrial variants were identified. The heteroplasmy was 7.22%. No adenoma type specific and no variants associating with Ki-67 index or recurrent-nonrecurrent status was identified. Four variants were more common in hormone-immunonegative than in gonadotroph adenomas. ChrM_14798, chrM_4216, chrM_15452 were non-synonymous polymorphisms leading to amino acid change in MT-CYB (mitochondrially encoded cytochrome b) and in MT-ND1 (mitochondrially encoded NADH dehydrogenase 1) genes. ChrM_16189 was however a non-protein coding variant which apeared in 40% of nonrecurrent adenomas compared to recurrent ones (6/15 vs. 0/11) (p=0.02).
We were able to validate chrM_14798 and chrM_4216 variants by Sanger sequencing with 100% sensitivity and specificity on 44 samples.
Conclusion
NGS is a reliable method for investigating mitochondrial genome mutations in pituitary tumours. Low level of heteroplasmy and poor associations between variants and clinico-pathological features suggests that mitochondrial genome alterations may not play a central role in pathogenesis of pituitary adenomas.
