Resumen:
INTRODUCTION: ACTH-secreting pituitary tumors (ACTHomas) are associated with severe comorbidities and increased mortality. Current treatments mainly focus in remission and prevention of persistent disease and recurrence. However, there are still no useful biomarkers to accurately predict the clinical outcome after surgery, long-term remission, or disease relapse. OBJECTIVES: To identify clinical, biochemical, and molecular markers for predicting long-term clinical outcome and remission in ACTHomas. MATHERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective multicenter study was performed with 60 ACTHomas patients diagnosed between 2004-2018 and with at least two years follow-up. Clinical/biochemical variables were evaluated yearly. Molecular expression profile of the somatostatin/ghrelin/dopamine regulatory systems components and of key pituitary-factors and proliferation-markers were evaluated in tumor samples after first surgery. RESULTS: Clinical variables including tumor size, time until diagnosis/first surgery, serum prolactin and post-surgery cortisol levels were associated with tumor- remission and relapsed-disease. The molecular markers analyzed were distinctly expressed in ACTHomas, some components (i.e., SSTR1, CRHR1 and MKI67) showing instructive associations with recurrence and/or remission. Notably, an integrative model including selected clinical variables (tumor-size/post-surgery serum cortisol) and molecular markers (SSTR1/CRHR1) can accurately predict the clinical evolution and remission of patients with ACTHomas, generating a ROC curve with an AUC of 1 (p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: This study provides a relevant clinical conclusion, demonstrating that the combination of a set of clinical and molecular biomarkers in ACTHomas is able to accurately predict the clinical evolution and remission of patients. Consequently, the post-surgery molecular profile represents a valuable tool for clinical evaluation and follow-up of patients with ACTHomas.
