Expression of serine proteases and metalloproteinases in human pituitary adenomas and anterior pituitary lobe tissue.

Abstract:

:Data on the dural invasiveness of pituitary adenomas have been correlated to the expression of matrix metalloproteinases (e.g. MMP-9). Serine proteases have not yet been investigated in human pituitary adenomas. In this study, paraffin-embedded material from 84 human pituitary adenomas (acromegaly n=18, Cushing's disease n=21, prolactinoma n=18, thyroid-stimulating hormone-secreting adenoma n=1, nonsecreting adenoma n=26) and 9 nontumourous anterior pituitary lobes (obtained from patients with prostate cancer) was immunohistochemically analysed for expression of MMP-2, MMP-9, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2 (TIMP-2), urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA), uPA receptor (uPAR), tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA), plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), and interleukin-6 (IL-6). Cavernous sinus invasion was determined by assessment of preoperative magnetic resonance imaging and intraoperative inspection (invasive n=50, noninvasive n=34). In pituitary adenomas, reactions were positive (diffuse expression) to MMP-2 (74% of cases), MMP-9 (49%), TIMP-2 (88%), uPA (89%), uPAR (90%), tPA (69%), and PAI-1 (87%). A weak expression of IL-6 was found in 12% of the adenomas. All reactions were positive (focal expression) in every sample of anterior lobe tissue, except for uPA (negative in 3 out of 9 cases), and IL-6 (faintly positive in 5 out of 8 cases). Adenomas showed remarkably greater expression of uPA than anterior lobe tissue (Chi-square P<0.05). Nonsecreting adenomas exhibited a stronger tendency towards overexpression of uPA in invasive tumours when compared to noninvasive adenomas (Chi-square P=0.053). We found no correlation of MMP-9 expression and tumour invasion. TIMP-2 was overexpressed in noninvasive as compared to invasive adenomas (Chi-square P<0.05). The interrelationship between MMPs and serine proteinases in pituitary adenomas remains to be elucidated. From our data, a correlation between IL-6 and an activation of MMP-9 cannot be proven. The uPA-system may, however, play a role in dural invasion of pituitary adenomas.
