Background GIP-dependent Cushing’s syndrome is caused by ectopic expression of glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor (GIPR) in cortisol-producing adrenal adenomas or in bilateral macronodular adrenal hyperplasias. Molecular mechanisms leading to ectopic GIPR expression in adrenal tissue are not known. Methods We performed molecular analyses on 14 adrenal samples obtained from 12 patients with overt GIP-dependent Cushing’s syndrome and from one patient with GIP-dependent aldosteronism. Results Nascent RNA FISH showed that GIPR expression in all adenoma and hyperplasia samples occurred through transcriptional activation of a single allele of the GIPR gene. While no abnormality was detected in proximal GIPR promoter methylation, we identified by CGH-array somatic duplications in chromosome region 19q13.32 containing the GIPR locus in the adrenocortical lesions derived from 3 patients. In 2 adenoma samples, the duplicated 19q13.32 region was rearranged with other chromosome regions, whereas a single tissue sample with hyperplasia had 19q duplication only. These duplications were further confirmed by DNA FISH. Among the 5 genes encompassed in the smallest region of overlap, only GIPR was over expressed. We demonstrated in vitro that juxtaposition with cis-acting regulatory sequences such as glucocorticoid response elements in the newly identified genomic environment drives abnormal expression of the translocated GIPR allele in HEK293 T and H295R cells. Conclusion Altogether, our results provide insight into the molecular pathogenesis of GIP-dependent Cushing’s syndrome, occurring through monoallelic transcriptional activation of GIPR driven in some adrenal lesions by structural variations.

Klotz Communications 2018 : le Cortisol et tous ses dérèglements / Annales d’Endocrinologie 79 (2018) 184–186 Background ARMC5 has been identified as the gene responsible for PBMAH (primary bilateral macronodular adrenal hyperplasia). ARMC5 inactivating mutations are reported in 20 to 25% of PBMAH patients. ARMC5 is considered as a tumor suppressor gene controlling apoptosis and regulating steroidogenesis. The mechanisms of action of ARMC5 are unknown. The structure of the ARMC5 protein contains ARM repeats and a BTB domain, patterns known to play a role in protein-protein interactions. Therefore identification of proteins that interact with ARMC5 and study of the mechanisms of this interaction will help to understand its function. By co-immunoprecipitation followed by mass spectrometry in HEK293 cells we identified a potential interaction between ARMC5 and Cullin3 (Cul3), also suggested in online databases and by 2 Hybrid Assay (Hu et al., 2017). Cul3 is a protein that mediates the ubiquitination process and subsequent degradation of specific protein substrates. Therefore, the aim of this study was to confirm this interaction and to investigate its mechanisms. Methods We used immunoprecipitation experiments with HA-tagged Cul3 and the bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET) proximity assay in HEK293 cells in order to confirm and investigate the interaction of ARMC5 with Cul3. Results ARMC5 co-immunoprecipitated with HA-Cul3 and a hyperbolic BRET saturation curve was observed with YFP-Cul3 and ARMC5-Luc indicating a specific close proximity between these two proteins. We have also observed that a missense mutation in the BTB domain (p.L754P) of ARMC5 disrupts the interaction with Cul3. Altogether, these complementary approaches demonstrate that ARMC5 and Cul3 form a complex involving the BTB domain of ARMC5. Conclusion These data demonstrate that Cul3 is an ARMC5 partner. A likely direct interaction involves the BTB domain of ARMC5 and can be altered by pathogenic ARMC5 missense mutations. This suggests that ARMC5 participates in the ubiquitination process and open new perspectives in the pathophysiology of PBMAH. Disclosure of interest competing interest.

Introduction Oral once-daily dual-release hydrocortisone (DR-HC) replacement therapy provides a more physiological cortisol profile than conventional thrice-daily (TID) therapy and has demonstrated improved metabolic profile among patients with adrenal insufficiency (AI). The mechanisms by which this metabolic improvement occurs may be due to less total exposure, changed cortisol time exposure profile, but also modified metabolism of cortisol. Objective To study cortisol metabolism during DR-HC and TID. Methods Patients with primary AI received DR-HC or an equal total daily dose of TID in a crossover multi-center study. Cortisol metabolites were measured by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry on 24 h urinary collections after both treatments and in controls. Results Fifty patients (22 females, mean age 47 years) and 124 healthy controls (73 females, mean age 48 years) were included in the study. Total cortisol metabolites were significantly decreased during DR-HC [median: 6380 ␮g/24 h] compared to TID [8825 ␮g/24 h]; P < 0.001] and returned to values similar to controls (6850 ␮g/24 h; P = 0.089). Compared to controls, the urinary THF + 5␣THF/THE ratio reflecting 11␤HSD1 activity was increased during both DR-HC (P < 0.001) and TID treatment (P < 0.001), being more marked in TID compared to DR-HC (P < 0.05). Urinary F/E reflecting 11␤HSD2 activity was higher in TID versus controls (P < 0.01), but normalized during DR-HC (P = 0.358). The urinary 5␣THF/THF ratio was increased during both treatments (controls: 1.3; TID: 2.3, P < 0.001; DR-HC: 2, P < 0.001) indicating an increase in 5␤-reductase activity during replacement therapy. However, the 5␣-reduced, 5␣THF, and the 5␤-reduced, THF, metabolites decreased significantly with DR-HC compared to TID (P < 0.001). Conclusion The urinary cortisol metabolome may be a more sensitive marker of “optimal cortisol replacement”. Abnormal cortisol metabolites excretion and cortisol metabolism are observed in patients receiving TID. This abnormal profile improves with DR-HC. Especially, reduced 11␤HSD1 activity during DR-HC may mediate some of the beneficial metabolic effects previously observed with this treatment.

Comparaison des tests de freinage minute et de « Liddle » dans une population de volontaires saines utilisant une contraception orale oestro-progestative

Tiphaine Carton ∗ , Elise Mathieu , Fleur Wolff , Bernard Corvilain , Natacha Driessens Service d’endocrinologie, hôpital Erasme, université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB), Bruxelles, France ∗ Auteur correspondant. Adresse e-mail : [email protected] (T. Carton) La confirmation du diagnostic de syndrome de Cushing chez un patient présentant une clinique évocatrice nécessite des tests complémentaires. La mesure du cortisol salivaire de minuit, du cortisol libre urinaire de 24 heures (CLU) et le test de freinage minute par 1 mg de Dexaméthasone (DXM) représentent les tests de dépistage classiquement utilisés en première ligne. Chez les femmes utilisant des oestro-progestatifs, le freinage minute est souvent amoindri pouvant engendrer des faux positifs (FP = cortisolémie matinale post-DXM > 50 nmol/L). Le but de notre étude est de comparer le freinage minute et le test de Liddle (DXM 0,5 mg/6 h pendant 48 h) dans un échantillon de 30 volontaires saines utilisant une contraception oestro-progestative. Nous avons également mesuré le cortisol salivaire à minuit et 8 h après chacun des 2 tests. Nous avons également mesuré le CLU au 2e jour du test de Liddle. Nos résultats préliminaires montrent un taux de FP de 62 % (7/18) au freinage minute contre seulement 15 % (2/13) au test de Liddle. Le CLU au second jour du test Liddle élimine les derniers FP (0/12). Le pourcentage de diminution de la cortisolémie est de 95 % pour les 2 tests chez
