ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To analyze the expression of glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor (GIPR) in somatotropinomas specimens and compare clinical, biochemical, radiological, therapeutic, molecular, and pathological data among those who overexpressed (GIPR +) and those who did not overexpress (GIPR - ) GIPR.METHODS:
Clinical, biochemical, radiological, molecular, and pathological data were collected. GNAS1 sequencing was performed with the Sanger method. Protein expression of somatostatin receptor subtypes 2 and 5 and CAM 5.2 were analyzed by immunohistochemistry. Quantitative real-time PCR was performed to analyze the mRNA expression of GIPR with the TaqMan® method. Positive expression was considered when the fold change (FC) was above 17.2 (GIPR +).RESULTS:
A total of 74 patients (54% female) were included. Eighteen tumors (24%) were GIPR + . Gsp mutation was detected in 30 tumors (40%). GIPR + tumors were more frequently densely granulated adenomas (83% vs 47%, p = 0.028). There was no difference in clinical, biochemical, radiological, therapeutic (surgical cure or response to medical therapy), or other pathological features between GIPR + and GIPR - tumors. Twenty-eight out of 56 (50%) GIPR - tumors harbored a gsp mutation, whereas two out of 18 (11%) GIPR + tumors harbored a gsp mutation (p = 0.005).CONCLUSION:
We described, for the first time, that GIPR + and gsp mutations are not mutually exclusive, but gsp mutations are less common in GIPR + tumors. GIPR + and GIPR - tumors have similar clinical, biochemical, radiological, therapeutic, and pathological features, with the exception of a high frequency of densely granulated adenomas among GIPR + tumors.Palabras clave
