Összefoglaló szövege

Introduction: Different methylation patterns have been already in certain pituitary adenoma types. Several studies reported site-specific hypermethylation influencing tumorsupressor genes, oncogenes, cell cycle regulator proteins. To date there is only a few information available regarding the whole genome methylation status and the reverse mechanism, DNA demethylation. High-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) is an easy and accurate method to detect the level of methylcytosine (5mC) and the demethylation intermedier hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC).
Aims: We investigated whole genome DNA methylation-demethylation status of different types of pituitary adenomas and correlated it with clinicopathological parameters.
Material and Methods: 44 DNA samples, isolated from fresh frozen human pituitary adenoma tissues (29 gonadotroph, 12 somatotroph and 3 corticotroph) were analyzed. Samples were collected and categorized according to the 2017 WHO classification. Cytosine and its derivates (5-methylcytosine (5mC) and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC)) were separated with HPLC-MS/MS. Data were analyzed with Statistica software 12.0.
Results: Higher level of 5hmC% and 5hmC%/5mC% ratios were confirmed in hormone-negative (HN) HN-SF1+ and HN-Tpit+ groups compared to FSH/LH+ and GH secreting adenomas. Significant difference between HN-SF1+ gonadotroph and FSH/LH+ gonadotroph adenomas was found but there was no alteration between HN-SF1+ and HN-Tpit+ tumors.
In the samples with higher proliferative index (Ki-67>4%) lower 5hmC (ns) and 5hmC%/5mC% ratio were detected than in slower proliferating tumours (Ki-67 1-2% or 3-4%)(p:0.009).
Conclusion: 5hmC% and 5hmC/5mC ratio indicating demethylation status can be reliably detected by HPLC-MS-MS method. We found correlation between methylation status and hormone-secretion/pituitary adenoma type as well as between methylation status and proliferative behaviour. Adenomas with higher Ki-67 indexes exhibit gradually lower demethylation. 5hmC/5mC ratio may be used as prognostic tissue biomarker but these data need to be further investigated on higher sample set.
