Abstract
The molecular mechanisms by which ATP1A1 mutation-mediated cell proliferation or tumorigenesis in aldosterone-producing adenomas (APAs) have not been elucidated. First, we investigated whether the APA-associated ATP1A1 L104R mutation stimulated cell proliferation. Second, we aimed to clarify the molecular mechanisms by which the ATP1A1 mutation-mediated cell proliferated. We performed transcriptome analysis in APAs with ATP1A1 mutation. ATP1A1 L104R mutation were modulated in human adrenocortical carcinoma (HAC15) cells (ATP1A1-mutant cells), and we evaluated cell proliferation and molecular signaling events. Transcriptome and immunohistochemical analysis showed that Na/K-ATPase (NKA) expressions in ATP1A1 mutated APA were more abundant than those in non-functioning adrenocortical adenoma or KCNJ5 mutated APAs. The significant increase of number of cells, amount of DNA and S-phase population were shown in ATP1A1-mutant cells. Fluo-4 in ATP1A1-mutant cells were significantly increased. Low concentration of ouabain stimulated cell proliferation in ATP1A1-mutant cells. ATP1A1-mutant cells induced Src phosphorylation, and low concentration of ouabain supplementation showed further Src phosphorylation. We demonstrated that NKAs were highly expressed in ATP1A1 mutant APA, and the mutant stimulated cell proliferation and Src phosphorylation in ATP1A1-mutant cells. NKA stimulations would be a risk factor for the progression and development to an ATP1A1 mutant APA.
