Expression of CYP11B1 and CYP11B2 in adrenal adenoma correlates with clinical characteristics of primary aldosteronism

Chang Ho Ahn et al.

Summary: Variable expression of steroidogenic enzymes in adrenal adenoma underlies the clinical heterogeneity of PA and is associated with treatment outcomes. CYP11B1 expression was positively correlated with the severity of hypercortisolemia, and CYP11B2 was positively correlated with that of hyperaldosteronism. Patients with absent clinical improvement after adrenalectomy had lower CYP11B2 expression than those with complete success.

Mass spectrometry-based cortisol profiling during adrenal venous sampling reveals misdiagnosis for subtyping primary aldosteronism

Ying Ma et al.

Summary: This study retrospectively analyzed 72 patients with PA who underwent AVS, finding that ACTH stimulation during AVS improved success rates. Immunoassays and LC-MS/MS showed linear correlation at cortisol concentrations <1750 nmol/L, but no correlation at concentrations >17,500 nmol/L. Both methods were consistent for detecting cortisol in evaluating AVS cannulation success, but discordant lateralization was observed in some cases. Ultimately, LC-MS/MS results may be more appropriate for final decision-making.

Aldosterone-producing nodules and CYP11B1 signaling correlate in primary aldosteronism

Jui-Hsiang Lin et al.

Summary: This study found that one-third of patients with unilateral primary aldosteronism (uPA) also had autonomous cortisol secretion (ACS). The presence of multiple aldosterone-producing nodules/micronodules (mAPN/mAPM) in these patients was associated with larger tumor sizes and the interaction between them. Transcriptome analysis and bioinformatics revealed the significance of the HSD3B7/CYP11B1 signaling pathway in uPA adenomas with surrounding mAPN/mAPM. Furthermore, patients with concomitant mAPN/mAPM had lower rates of biochemical success after surgery.

Pathophysiology of Mild Hypercortisolism: From the Bench to the Bedside

Vittoria Favero et al.

Summary: Mild hypercortisolism refers to abnormal cortisol secretion without the overt manifestations of Cushing's syndrome. It is commonly found in patients with adrenal incidentalomas and incidentally discovered pituitary tumors. The pathogenesis of hypercortisolism of pituitary origin is still unclear, while advances have been made in understanding the genetic background of adrenal adenomas causing mild hypercortisolism. The clinical consequences of mild hypercortisolism include bone fragility, arterial hypertension, subclinical atherosclerosis, cardiovascular remodeling, dyslipidemia, glucose metabolism impairment, visceral adiposity, infections, muscle damage, mood disorders, and coagulation.

Impact of Primary Aldosteronism in Resistant Hypertension

Konstantinos Stavropoulos et al.

Summary: The review summarized the latest data on the association between primary aldosteronism and resistant hypertension, emphasizing the importance of screening all patients with resistant hypertension for primary aldosteronism. Epidemiological data suggests that up to 20% of patients with resistant hypertension may have primary aldosteronism. Patients with this condition are at increased risk of renal disease, diabetes mellitus, atrial fibrillation, and obstructive sleep apnea, and they also have extended target organ damage and higher cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Specific treatments, such as adrenalectomy and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, can significantly reduce blood pressure, reverse target organ damage, and mitigate cardiovascular risk. Therefore, evaluating all patients with resistant hypertension for primary aldosteronism is crucial for improving their quality of life and cardiovascular profile.

Summary: Primary aldosteronism (PA) has been recognized as a leading cause of secondary hypertension, with two major subtypes clinically identified as surgically curable and uncurable, requiring time-consuming and labor-intensive diagnostic procedures. Recent research has focused on PA prevalence, histopathological classification, diagnostic biomarkers, and prediction scores, aiming to improve early detection and decrease complications through better understanding of its epidemiology and pathology.

Endocrine hypertension secondary to adrenal tumors: clinical course and predictive factors of clinical remission

Uriel Clemente-Gutierrez et al.

Summary: Endocrinopathies account for around 10% of secondary hypertension causes, with primary aldosteronism, pheochromocytoma, and Cushing's syndrome being common. A retrospective cohort study on patients who underwent adrenalectomy showed remission rates of 57-100% for SH, with several prognostic factors associated with clinical remission in patients with APA, CPA, and PHEO.

Concurrence of overt Cushing's syndrome and primary aldosteronism accompanied by aldosterone-producing cell cluster in adjacent adrenal cortex: case report

Yoshiro Fushimi et al.

Summary: Primary aldosteronism and Cushing's syndrome can sometimes co-occur, but overt cases of both are rare. Recent attention has shifted to the presence of aldosterone-producing cell clusters in adjacent adrenal cortex as a cause of primary aldosteronism, rather than aldosterone-producing adenomas.

Characteristics of preoperative steroid profiles and glucose metabolism in patients with primary aldosteronism developing adrenal insufficiency after adrenalectomy

Xiao Wang et al.

Summary: The study aimed to identify variables associated with post-operative adrenal insufficiency (AI) in patients with unilateral aldosterone producing adenoma (APA). Machine-learning methods and LC-MS/MS measurements were used to construct models, revealing that low insulin concentration during pre-operative oral glucose tolerance test and insufficient suppression of glucocorticoids following dexamethasone were correlated with the development of post-operative AI. Addition of steroid profiles improved prediction accuracy but lack of reliability was seen in cross validation.

Primary Aldosteronism: a Continuum from Normotension to Hypertension

Taweesak Wannachalee et al.

Summary: Recent clinical and molecular studies have shown that primary aldosteronism progresses through a series of stages, from pre-clinical to overt hormonal PA. Advances in genetics and histopathology have revealed a spectrum of PA pathology that spans from pre-clinical stages to severe disease. PA evolves from pre-hypertensive stages to resistant hypertension, with serious cardiovascular and renal consequences. Early recognition and targeted therapy are crucial for preventing cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in many patients.

Surgical Outcomes of Aldosterone-Producing Adenoma on the Basis of the Histopathological Findings

Huiping Wang et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the surgical outcomes of aldosterone-producing adenoma (APA) patients based on functional pathological diagnosis, showing a high rate of clinical success postoperatively. Pathological analysis identified mainly APA and aldosterone-producing nodule (APN), with gender, duration of hypertension, and highest SBP as independent predictors for the postoperative cure of APA.

Immunohistochemical Analysis of CYP11B2, CYP11B1 and β-catenin Helps Subtyping and Relates With Clinical Characteristics of Unilateral Primary Aldosteronism

Luyan Sun et al.

Summary: The study found that CYP11B2 immunostaining could improve the differential diagnosis of unilateral hyperaldosteronism, and the adjusted CYP11B2 H-score reflects the severity of APA. Furthermore, abnormal beta-catenin staining was associated with various clinical indicators, suggesting that the Wnt pathway may be a potential therapeutic target in the treatment of hyperaldosteronism.
