We have studied the expression of the pituitary transcription factors Ptx-1 and Prop-1 in a series of 34 pituitary adenomas fully characterized for in vitro hormone secretion and histological staining. In studies involving mammalian cell lines, the pituitary transcription factor Ptx-1 has been shown to be a pituitary hormone panactivator, whereas more recent studies have shown that it plays an important role in alpha-subunit gene expression. Its expression has not been examined previously in human pituitary adenomas characterized by in vitro hormone secretory profiles. Of the 34 pituitary adenomas studied, Ptx-1 expression was reduced by more than 50% compared to that of the housekeeping gene human glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase in the 6 corticotroph adenomas, which also had significantly reduced alpha-subunit production (all 6 tumors secreting &lt; or =0.5 ng/24 h). Mutations of the pituitary transcription factor Prop-1, which is responsible for the syndrome of Ames dwarfism in mice, are being increasingly recognized as a cause of combined pituitary hormone deficiency in humans, although ACTH deficiency has been described only once. Prop-1 expression was detected in all 34 pituitary adenomas, including 6 corticotroph adenomas and 5 gonadotroph adenomas. The expression of Prop-1 has not been described previously in these cell phenotypes.
