ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT Abstract

T

Hidradenoma papilliferum (HP) is a benign epithelial tumor most commonly

RI P

seen in the vulva. It is proposed to be derived from the anogenital mammary-like

SC

glands and is histologically very similar to the mammary intraductal papilloma (IP). Approximately 60% of mammary IPs have activating mutations in either PIK3CA or

MA NU

AKT1 gene, with each gene accounting for 30% of cases. In this study, we screened the mutation statuses of PIK3CA, AKT1, RAS, and BRAF in 30 HPs. The results showed that activating mutations in either PIK3CA or AKT1 gene were identified in

ED

20 tumors (67%); 19 tumors had PIK3CA mutations (63%, 13 in exon 20 and 6 in

PT

exon 9), and 1 had an AKT1 E17K mutation (3%). BRAF V600E mutation was found

CE

in a HP that also had a PIK3CA H1047R mutation. No RAS mutation was found. The

AC

mutation status was not correlated with the degree of epithelial cell hyperplasia. We conclude that although there might be site-related variations in the mutation frequencies of PIK3CA and AKT1 genes, HP is histologically and also genetically very similar to the mammary IP, suggesting that HP can be viewed as the extramammary counterpart of mammary IP.

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 1. INTRODUCTION

T

Hidradenoma papilliferum (HP) is an uncommon benign epithelial tumor

RI P

showing apocrine differentiation. HP is most commonly seen in the labia majora or

SC

labia minora [1]. Less commonly, it may occur in the clitoris, perianal area, and perineum. Clinically, HP presents as a solitary asymptomatic nodule or cyst-like

MA NU

lesion. Almost all reported cases occur in women, usually young or middle aged. It was thought to originate from cutaneous sweat glands, but later suggested to be derived from ectopic breast tissue or the so-called anogenital mammary-like glands

ED

(AGMLGs) [2].

PT

Histologically, HP is very similar, if not identical, to the intraductal papilloma (IP)

CE

of the breast, demonstrating solid-cystic proliferation of branching papillae and

AC

tubular glands lined by epithelial cells containing moderate to abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm and a layer of myoepithelial cells. All kinds of epithelial, metaplastic or stromal changes that can be seen in mammary IPs such as decapitation secretion, epithelial hyperplasia, mucinous metaplasia, and stromal sclerosis can be observed in HPs. HP is circumscribed, often surrounded by a fibrous pseudocapsule, and can be removed by simple excision. The pathogenesis of HP is not clear. Previously it has been evaluated for the presence of human papilloma virus, but the virus does not appear to play crucial roles in its pathogenesis [3,4].

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT The AGMLG constitutes a ductal-glandular tissue mainly seen in the sulcus

T

between the labia majora and labia minora [5], and its anatomical distribution mirrors

RI P

the predilected sites of HP. It has been suggested that AGMLG is an ectopic breast

SC

tissue representing the distal end of the milk ridges. However, van der Putte believed that the milk line does not exist in humans and that the AGMLG is a normal

MA NU

constituent of the anogenital area [5].

Although the histogenesis of AGMLG is disputed, on morphological grounds the AGMLG is very similar to mammary tissue, and many disease entities that are

ED

suggested to arise in AGMLG, such as HP, fibroepithelial tumors (fibroadenoma and

PT

phyllodes tumor) and mammary type ductal carcinoma, have morphological

CE

counterparts in the breast [1]. It is reasonable to speculate that the mechanisms of

AC

tumorigenesis may be similar in these 2 tissues. Recently, nearly two-thirds of mammary IPs have been shown to harbor activating mutations in PIK3CA, AKT1, or RAS genes [6]. On the basis of their morphological similarities, we speculated that HP may also have mutations in these genes and conducted the present study to test this hypothesis.

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 2. MATERIALS AND METHODS

T

2.1 Tumor Samples

RI P

Cases of HP with available formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded tissue blocks

SC

were retrieved from the archives of the Department of Pathology of National Taiwan University Hospital. The diagnosis was confirmed through re-examination of the

MA NU

histological sections by 3 pathologists (JY Liau, KT Kuo, and WC Huang). Because in IPs of the breast, AKT1 mutations have been shown to be more common in tumors with no to mild epithelial hyperplasia, whereas PIK3CA mutations are more common

ED

in tumors with moderate to marked epithelial hyperplasia [6], the degree of epithelial

PT

hyperplasia was recorded. The microscopic tumor size was also measured. This study

CE

was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of National Taiwan University

AC

Hospital, and the specimens were anonymous and analyzed in a blind manner. 2.2 Mutation Analyses DNA extraction, amplification, and sequencing were performed as previously described [7]. Briefly, tumoral and non-tumoral tissues were dissected from 10-µm sections that were cut from paraffin blocks. Genomic DNA was extracted using a QIAamp DNA FFPE Tissue Kit (Qiagen, Santa Clarita, CA, USA) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. After polymerase chain reaction amplification and purification, direct sequencing was performed using an automated ABI 3770

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT sequencer (Applied BioSystems, Foster City, CA, USA). The primer sequences used

T

to amplify the following genes: KRAS (exons 2 and 3), HRAS (exons 2 and 3), NRAS

RI P

(exons 2 and 3), BRAF (exon 15), PIK3CA (exons 9 and 20), and AKT1 (exon 4) are

SC

listed in Table 1. 2.3 Statistical Analyses

MA NU

Data analyses were conducted using SPSS 19 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY). Comparisons of categorical variables were performed using the Pearson  method or Fisher’s exact test as appropriate. Continuous variables were analyzed using the

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 3. RESULTS

T

3.1 Clinicopathological Features

RI P

In total, 32 HP were retrieved and analyzed. All patients were female ranging in

SC

age from 29 to 67 years (mean: 44; median: 43) at the time of excision. To our knowledge, most, if not all of the patients were Taiwanese. The majority of cases (29)

MA NU

occurred in the vulva. Three cases occurred in the perianal region. All lesions were solitary and presented with asymptomatic papulonodules or painful tumors when the surface was eroded. Tumor excision was performed in all patients. Histologically, 12

ED

tumors showed no or mild epithelial hyperplasia, and 20 showed prominent

PT

hyperplasia. Peritumoral stroma was included in 22 tumors. AGMLG was identified

CE

in 13 and absent in 9. Representative histological images are shown in Figure 1.

AC

3.2 Mutation Analyses

After discarding 2 tumors in which DNA quality was poor and PCR was unsuccessful, 30 HPs were included as the study cohort. The results of mutation analysis are shown in Table 2 and representative sequencing chromatographies are shown in Figure 1. PIK3CA activating mutations were identified in 19 tumors (63%). Thirteen occurred in exon 20 (12 with the H1047R mutation and 1 with the H1047L mutation), and 6 occurred in exon 9 (3 with the E542K mutation and 3 with the E545K mutation). One tumor harbored an AKT1 E17K mutation (Figure 1D). No

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT PIK3CA mutations were identified in the non-tumor parts of 5 PIK3CA-mutated

T

tumors with available tissue.

RI P

All mutations in the PIK3CA and AKT1 genes were mutually exclusive; therefore,

SC

two-thirds (20 of 30) of the HPs had a mutation in either gene. In addition, one tumor with a PIK3CA H1047R mutation also had a BRAF V600E mutation (Figure 1A). No

MA NU

mutation was found in RAS genes. All mutations (PIK3CA, AKT1, and BRAF) identified in this study have been previously shown to be activating and are the most common variants recorded in the COSMIC database [8-12].

ED

3.3 Molecular-Histological Correlations

PT

Of the 30 successfully analyzed tumors, 11 showed no or mild epithelial

CE

hyperplasia, whereas 19 showed prominent hyperplasia. PIK3CA mutations were

AC

found in 64% (7 of 11) and 63% (12 of 19) of the former and latter subgroups, respectively. The AKT1-mutated tumor also exhibited prominent hyperplasia. Of the 13 tumors in which AGMLG could be seen, 8 had PIK3CA mutations (62%), whereas 5 of the 9 tumors (56%) without AGMLG had PIK3CA (4 tumors) or AKT1 (1 tumor) mutations. The presence of a PIK3CA or AKT1 mutation was not correlated with the presence or absence of AGMLG (P = 1.000, Fisher’s exact test). Eight tumors did not have sufficient peritumoral stroma for evaluation of the presence of absence of AGMLG. Interestingly, this subset had the highest PIK3CA mutation

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT rate: mutation was found in 7 of the 8 tumors (88%).

T

Regarding tumor size, although the mean tumor size of those with mutations

RI P

were slightly larger than those without mutations (6.20 mm vs. 5.30 mm), the

SC

presence of a PIK3CA or AKT1 mutation was not associated with the tumor size (P = 0.418). Notably, although statistically non-significant, the 8 tumors in which the

MA NU

presence or absence of AGMLG could not be determined tended to be larger than the 22 tumors in which the presence of AGMLG could be evaluated (7.50 mm vs. 5.32

AC

CE

PT

ED

mm, P = 0.162).

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 4. Discussion

T

In this study, we investigated the mutation statuses of PIK3CA, AKT1, RAS, and

RI P

BRAF genes in a series of 30 HPs on the basis that HPs and mammary IPs show

SC

similar histological features. We demonstrated that activating mutations in either PIK3CA or AKT1 gene were present in two-thirds of HPs, thus providing a strong

MA NU

molecular link between these 2 entities.

Phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) is a heterodimeric lipid kinase composed of the catalytic subunit (p110α, PIK3CA) and the regulatory subunit (p85, PIK3R1) [13].

ED

The PI3K/AKT pathway is implicated in cell proliferation, protein translation, cell

PT

metabolism, and anti-apoptosis. Approximately 30% of in situ and invasive breast

CE

carcinomas have activating mutations in PIK3CA (26%) or AKT1 (4%) gene [14].

AC

Furthermore, several benign proliferative breast lesions, such as IP, usual ductal hyperplasia, columnar cell lesion, and radial scar harbor mutations in these 2 genes in up to one-half to two-thirds of cases [6,15-17], indicating that the activation of this pathway plays crucial roles in mammary tumorigenesis. In addition to HP, a wide variety of benign and malignant tumors, such as lactating adenoma, fibroadenoma, and mammary ductal carcinoma, are also supposed to be derived from the AGMLG. The presence of similar genetic alterations in HPs and mammary IPs may lead to a suggestion that AGMLG is a type of ectopic breast

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT tissue. However, because the breast is supposed to be a modified apocrine gland, we

T

cannot exclude the possibility that activation of the PI3K/AKT pathway via mutation

RI P

is a shared and common feature in the tumorigenesis of cutaneous sweat glands and

SC

all of their derivatives. Nevertheless, we are accord with others that the most effective approach to study AGMLG-derived tumors is to compare them with their mammary

MA NU

counterparts [1]. We also speculate that mutations found in mammary tumors, such as the recently reported MED12 mutations in mammary fibroepithelial tumors [18,19], may also be present in their extramammary counterparts.

ED

Although HPs and mammary IPs showed a similar overall mutation rate in

PT

PIK3CA and AKT1 genes, the distribution of the mutations appeared to be quite

CE

different between them. In mammary IPs, PIK3CA and AKT1 mutations are equally

AC

common [6]. In addition, in tumors showing absent to mild hyperplasia, AKT1 mutations are more common than PIK3CA mutations, whereas the reverse is seen in IPs with prominent epithelial hyperplasia. By contrast, in our study, 19 of 20 mutations identified (95%) were PIK3CA mutations, and AKT1 mutation was found in only one tumor. The mutations were also not correlated with the degree of epithelial hyperplasia. In fact, the AKT1-mutated tumor exhibited prominent hyperplasia histologically. We speculate that there might be potential site- and/or ethnicity-related variations in the genes involved in the pathogenesis of HPs and mammary IPs.

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT In our study, one tumor exhibited both BRAF V600E and PIK3CA H1047R

T

mutations. No BRAF mutation was found in the previous study of mammary papillary

RI P

neoplasms, but 2 of 89 papillary tumors had RAS mutations (HRAS G12D and NRAS

SC

Q61H) [6]. The first tumor was an IP exhibiting atypical ductal hyperplasia, and the second was an invasive papillary carcinoma which also had multiple PIK3CA exon 13

MA NU

mutations. Similarly, a small subset (approximately 5%) of extramammary Paget disease cases have concurrent PIK3CA/AKT1 and RAS/BRAF mutations, suggesting that activating mutations in both pathways are not mutually exclusive and may

ED

provide additive growth advantages [20]. We also considered the possibility that this

PT

BRAF-mutated tumor might be a misclassified syringocystadenoma papilliferum

CE

(SCAP), because BRAF V600E mutation was recently found in approximately 50% of

AC

nevus sebaceus-unrelated SCAPs [21], and some authors have suggested that HP and SCAP are closely related tumors. However, this BRAF-mutated tumor exhibited typical histological features of HP, with no atypical proliferative changes or features suggesting SCAP. Therefore, the significance of this combination in HP is undetermined. Nevertheless, our data indicate that HP and SCAP are genetically distinct tumors. Tumors derived from the sweat glands exhibit diverse histomorphologies. The underlying genetic changes are increasingly deciphered and most of them harbor

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT distinct molecular alterations. For example, BRAF/RAS mutations are commonly

T

present in SCAPs whereas the CRTC1-MAML2 gene fusion is identified in 50% of

RI P

cutaneous hidradenomas [21,22]. We also analyzed the PIK3CA/AKT1 status in small

SC

numbers of eccrine poromas and apocrine cystadenomas but none had mutations (data not shown). Further studies are necessary to identify the genetic changes in these

MA NU

tumors.

In our series, PIK3CA and AKT1 mutations were not correlated with the presence or absence of AGMLG or tumor size. Interestingly, tumors lacking sufficient

ED

peritumoral stroma to determine the presence of AGMLG had the highest mutation

PT

rate and tended to be larger. We speculate that tumors harboring mutations might be

CE

larger and have a greater compression effect, enabling them to have fibrous

AC

pseudocapsules that permit the clinicians to perform a more conservative surgery with narrow margins.

In summary, we demonstrate that, like the mammary IPs, activating mutations in PIK3CA or AKT1 gene are present in the majority of HPs. Our data suggest that they can essentially be regarded as the same tumor on the basis of their shared histomorphologies and molecular alterations. We also speculate that other tumors derived from the AGMLG will possess the same or closely related genetic changes as their mammary counterparts do.
