Abstract：
:Preliminary data suggest that prohormone convertase 1 (PC1/3) protein expression and proopiomelanocortin (POMC) processing are altered in large corticotroph tumors. The aim of this study was to characterize the levels of ACTH precursors and PC1/3 protein in small and large corticotroph tumors of dogs with Cushing's disease. Pituitary tumors of dogs with Cushing's disease were collected postmortem 30 min to 12h after natural death or euthanasia, and classified as small or large. POMC, pro-ACTH, and PC1/3 were detected by Western blotting. Five small and 6 large corticotroph tumors were collected. POMC and pro-ACTH signals were visualized in 5/6 large tumors and in 4/5 small tumors. The strongest signal intensity was observed in 2 large tumors. The PC1/3 signal was weak to undetectable in 6/6 large tumors but strong in 5/5 small tumors. These results suggest differences in PC1/3 protein levels and patterns of POMC processing between large and small corticotroph tumors. If confirmed in larger groups of tumors, further studies will be required to characterize the mechanism involved in these differences.
