Abstract

Background: Currently, due to the lack of clear criteria for predicting the aggressive course of pituitary adenomas (APA), the search for diagnostic markers is highly relevant. Genetic markers, among others, may serve as such markers since their identification is possible at early stages of the pathological process.

Objective: To study the prevalence of genotypic polymorphisms G634C of the VEGFA gene (locus rs2010963), C/T of the TP53_2 gene (locus rs17884159), C/T of the HIF1A gene (locus rs11549465), and G-197A of the IL-17A gene in a sample of patients with APA and their association with the development of various clinical variants of the aggressive course of the disease.

Materials and methods: The study included 100 patients with a clinically confirmed diagnosis of pituitary adenoma (main group) and 83 practically healthy individuals (control group). The polymorphism of the studied genes was analyzed using allele-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with SNP-Express reagent kits in real-time mode ("Sintol", Russia). The interpretation of the results was carried out using the "RotorGene" software of the PCR-RV device. The study also included general clinical, biochemical, and hormonal tests, as well as instrumental and neuroimaging methods, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the chiasmatic-sellar region and statistical analysis.

Results: The study showed that the heterozygous mutation (G/C) of the G634C VEGFA polymorphism was recorded in 21 cases (26%), and the homozygous mutation with a complete replacement of guanine (G) by cysteine (C) at position 634 (C/C) was detected in 4 cases. In patients with invasive pituitary adenomas (PA), the heterozygous variant (G/C) was twice as frequent - 32.7% (n=17) compared to the control group - 15.7% (n=13). The homozygous genotype (C/C) was also more frequently observed in patients with invasive PA growth - 7.7% (n=4) compared to the control group.The heterozygous variant (C/T) of the HIF1A gene was significantly more common (p=0.02) in patients with invasive adenomas compared to the control group: 25% (n=13) and 9.8% (n=8), respectively. In non-invasive PAs, this genotype was observed three times less frequently. The study of TP53_2 polymorphism (locus rs17884159) showed that in patients with invasive PAs, the frequency of the heterozygous variant (C/T) was significantly higher - 15.4% (n=8) compared to the control group - 4.8% (n=4).

Conclusion: The conducted genetic analysis of polymorphisms in the VEGFA, HIF1A, TP53_2, and IL-17A genes revealed significant deviations, confirming their practical significance in the early diagnosis of aggressive pituitary adenomas.

垂体腺瘤:了解其侵袭性形式的途径。侵袭性垂体腺瘤发展中潜在预后标志物的临床遗传分析。
背景:目前,由于缺乏明确的标准来预测垂体腺瘤(APA)的侵袭性进程,寻找诊断标志物是高度相关的。遗传标记,除其他外,可以作为这样的标记,因为它们的识别是可能的,在病理过程的早期阶段。目的:研究APA患者中VEGFA基因G634C(位点rs2010963)、TP53_2基因C/T(位点rs17884159)、HIF1A基因C/T(位点rs11549465)、IL-17A基因G-197A的基因型多态性及其与侵袭性病程中各种临床变异的关系。材料与方法:本研究纳入临床确诊垂体腺瘤患者100例(主组)和实际健康个体83例(对照组)。采用实时模式(“Sintol”,俄罗斯)的SNP-Express试剂盒,采用等位基因特异性聚合酶链反应(PCR)分析所研究基因的多态性。使用PCR-RV装置的“RotorGene”软件对结果进行解释。该研究还包括一般临床,生化和激素测试,以及仪器和神经影像学方法,包括交叉鞍区磁共振成像(MRI)和统计分析。结果:研究发现21例(26%)出现G634C VEGFA多态性杂合突变(G/C), 4例在634位点(C/C)出现鸟嘌呤(G)完全被半胱氨酸(C)取代的纯合突变。在侵袭性垂体腺瘤(PA)患者中,杂合变异(G/C)的发生率为32.7% (n=17),是对照组15.7% (n=13)的两倍。纯合子基因型(C/C)在侵袭性PA生长的患者中也更常见,与对照组相比为7.7% (n=4)。HIF1A基因杂合变异(C/T)在侵袭性腺瘤患者中比对照组更常见(p=0.02):分别为25% (n=13)和9.8% (n=8)。在非侵入性PAs中,这种基因型的出现频率要低三倍。TP53_2多态性(位点rs17884159)研究显示,侵袭性PAs患者的杂合变异(C/T)频率为15.4% (n=8),显著高于对照组的4.8% (n=4)。结论:通过对VEGFA、HIF1A、TP53_2、IL-17A基因多态性的遗传分析,发现了明显的变异,证实了其在侵袭性垂体腺瘤早期诊断中的实际意义。
