Abstract

Background

We looked for mutations of the HRPT2 gene, which encodes the parafibromin protein, in sporadic parathyroid carcinoma because germ-line inactivating HRPT2 mutations have been found in a type of familial hyperparathyroidism — hyperparathyroidism–jaw tumor (HPT-JT) syndrome — that carries an increased risk of parathyroid cancer.

Methods

We directly sequenced the full coding and flanking splice-junctional regions of the HRPT2 gene in 21 parathyroid carcinomas from 15 patients who had no known family history of primary hyperparathyroidism or the HPT-JT syndrome at presentation. We also sought to confirm the somatic nature of the identified mutations and tested the carcinomas for tumor-specific loss of heterozygosity at HRPT2.

Results

Parathyroid carcinomas from 10 of the 15 patients had HRPT2 mutations, all of which were predicted to inactivate the encoded parafibromin protein. Two distinct HRPT2 mutations were found in tumors from five patients, and biallelic inactivation as a result of a mutation and loss of heterozygosity was found in one tumor. At least one HRPT2 mutation was demonstrably somatic in carcinomas from six patients. Unexpectedly, HRPT2 mutations in the parathyroid carcinomas of three patients were identified as germ-line mutations.

Conclusions

Sporadic parathyroid carcinomas frequently have HRPT2 mutations that are likely to be of pathogenetic importance. Certain patients with apparently sporadic parathyroid carcinoma carry germ-line mutations in HRPT2 and may have the HPT-JT syndrome or a phenotypic variant.

Article

Parathyroid carcinomas are an uncommon and often devastating cause of primary hyperparathyroidism.1,2 These cancers characteristically result in more profound clinical manifestations of hyperparathyroidism than do parathyroid adenomas, the most frequent cause of primary hyperparathyroidism. If a parathyroid carcinoma spreads to distant sites, it can cause relentless hypercalcemia and severe metabolic complications that are notoriously difficult to control and often result in death. Affected patients may require repeated palliative surgical extirpation of metastatic nodules.1-3 Early en bloc resection of the primary tumor is the only curative treatment. Because the histopathological features of parathyroid carcinoma and adenoma may overlap, a definitive diagnosis of parathyroid carcinoma requires the presence of invasion of surrounding structures by the tumor, local recurrence, or metastasis,3-9 yet these features signify a stage at which cure is usually impossible. An understanding of the molecular pathogenesis of parathyroid carcinoma could have considerable value with respect to early diagnosis, prognosis, and new approaches to treatment.

No specific gene has been established as a direct contributor to the pathogenesis of sporadic parathyroid carcinoma, although several important molecular clues have been uncovered.10-15 For example, a region on chromosome 13 is frequently lost in parathyroid carcinomas.10-14 However, molecular analysis16 has not yet established the identity of the relevant gene or genes in this region of the chromosome.17,18

We investigated the HRPT2 gene, which encodes the parafibromin protein, in sporadic parathyroid carcinoma because inactivating germ-line mutations in this gene were recently identified in the majority of kindreds with the hereditary hyperparathyroidism–jaw tumor (HPT-JT) syndrome, or hyperparathyroidism 2 (Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man number #145001), a rare autosomal dominant cause of parathyroid tumors, ossifying fibromas of the mandible and maxilla, and various cystic and neoplastic renal abnormalities.19-26 Also, somatic inactivating mutations of the gene were reported in 4 percent of cystic parathyroid adenomas (2 of 47), none of which had germ-line mutations.19 Parathyroid tumors often occur asynchronously in patients with the HPT-JT syndrome, and although most of the tumors are benign, the incidence of malignant parathyroid carcinomas is markedly increased in these patients. For these reasons, it seemed plausible that inactivating somatic mutations of HRPT2 might occur in sporadic parathyroid carcinomas.

Methods

Patients and Tumor Specimens

A total of 21 parathyroid-carcinoma samples were obtained from 15 patients who had been treated surgically for primary hyperparathyroidism in the United States and Japan. The 21 specimens included 5 primary carcinomas, 6 locally recurrent tumors, and 10 distant metastases (Table 1Table 1 HRPT2 Gene Mutation and Loss-of-Heterozygosity Analyses in Parathyroid Carcinomas from 15 Patients.). For inclusion in this study, we required an unequivocal diagnosis of parathyroid carcinoma, as demonstrated by the presence of either distant metastasis or widespread invasion of contiguous structures and local recurrence.3-9 Histopathological features often associated with parathyroid carcinoma (but not stringently diagnostic), such as fibrous bands, numerous cells in mitosis, trabecular cellular architecture, nuclear atypia, and microvascular or microscopic capsular invasion, were commonly present. For 10 of the 15 patients, peripheral-blood leukocytes served as a source of germ-line DNA; for Patient 6, normal muscle was the source. Germ-line DNA was not available from four patients.

At initial parathyroidectomy, the 15 patients ranged in age from 20 to 62 years (mean, 43); 5 were women and 10 were men. None of the 15 patients had a personal or family history of the HPT-JT syndrome, multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1, or another familial form of hyperparathyroidism at presentation. After the diagnosis of parathyroid carcinoma in Patient 5, a parathyroid adenoma was diagnosed in an uncle. No patient had a history of irradiation to the head and neck or of uremic secondary or tertiary hyperparathyroidism, and no patient had been treated with radiation therapy or chemotherapy.

Immediately after surgical resection, tumor samples were frozen in liquid nitrogen for storage at –80°C until use. Genomic DNA was extracted from tumor and nontumor tissues by proteinase K digestion followed by phenol–chloroform extraction and ethanol precipitation. Tumor and blood samples were obtained in accordance with protocols approved by institutional review boards for human studies; patients provided informed consent as dictated by these protocols.

Detection of HRPT2 Mutations

The 21 samples of parathyroid-carcinoma DNA were analyzed for mutations in the HRPT2 gene by direct sequencing of both strands. The 17 exons of the gene, which encode a protein of 531 amino acids, were amplified as 15 different fragments with the use of primers derived from flanking intronic or 3'- or 5'-untranslated-region sequences (listed in Supplementary Appendix 1, available with the full text of this article at http://www.nejm.org). After amplification, primers were removed by digestion with 10 U of exonuclease I (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech) and 1 U of shrimp alkaline phosphatase (Amersham).

Sequencing reactions were performed with the use of the BigDye Terminator cycle sequencing kit (Applied Biosystems) as described previously.27 Data were analyzed with the use of Sequencing Analysis and AutoAssembler software (Applied Biosystems), and all mutations were confirmed by repeated forward and reverse sequencing of the involved exon or intron from an independent polymerase chain reaction (PCR). When mutations were detected in tumor DNA, the same exons or introns in corresponding germ-line DNA samples, when available, were sequenced in a similar manner. Amplified exons for which sequencing in both directions showed a clear chromatogram and an apparently normal sequence on one side of a specific nucleotide position abruptly followed by an unclear sequence on the other were interpreted as suggesting a frame-shift mutation. To determine definitively whether an insertion or a deletion was present in these cases, or to confirm the loss of a specific allele in one instance, amplified exons were resequenced after cloning to separate the alleles. PCR products were cloned into the PCR4-TOPO vector with use of the TOPO TA Cloning Kit (Invitrogen), transformed into Escherichia coli, and plated onto LB agar to which 50 μg of ampicillin per milliliter had been added. Then, 8 to 10 distinct colonies were picked and resuspended in PCR mix for amplification and sequencing.

Sequencing of all HRPT2 exons (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, and 14) for which germ-line mutations were identified in this study (or in kindreds with the HPT-JT syndrome19) was performed as described previously19 in 150 unrelated healthy control subjects.

Loss-of-Heterozygosity Analysis

We analyzed 17 matched pairs of germ-line and tumor DNA samples from 11 patients for loss of heterozygosity at the HRPT2 locus by genotyping four microsatellite markers. D1S542 and D1S413 flank HRPT2 on its centromeric and telomeric sides, respectively (University of California Santa Cruz Human Genome Project Working Draft, available at http://genome.ucsc.edu). We also searched the human-genome–sequence data base for previously unreported dinucleotide repeat sequences within HRPT2 that might serve as the basis for new intragenic HRPT2 polymorphisms, identified two such regions within intron 10 and intron 14, and designed primers from unique flanking sequences for PCR amplification: 5'TGATTTCTCATGCATTTCCTG3' (intron 10 forward primer), 5'TAACTACCTGAAACCCATCAC3' (intron 10 reverse primer), 5'AATTAGTGTCACAGTATCTTA3' (intron 14 forward primer), and 5'CTCAAAGTATCTATTAGGTA3' (intron 14 reverse primer). These new intragenic markers were highly polymorphic, showing substantial frequencies of heterozygosity in our patients: 60 percent for intron 10 and 50 percent for intron 14. Electrophoresis of fluorescently labeled products in an ABI Prism 377 Sequencer was followed by pattern analysis with the use of Genescan and Genotyper software (Applied Biosystems).27 An allelic imbalance was identified by an analysis of the heights of allele peaks in tumor and control samples27 and was considered to indicate a loss of heterozygosity when the contribution of the minority allele was repeatedly negligible.

Results

We identified HRPT2 mutations in parathyroid carcinomas from 10 of 15 patients with apparently sporadic disease. All mutations were predicted to inactivate the encoded protein, parafibromin, which is also affected in the HPT-JT syndrome.19 A total of 15 different HRPT2 mutations, spanning six exons, were identified in 12 tumors from 10 of the 15 patients (Table 1). Five mutations resulted directly in a premature stop codon, and 10 gave rise to an altered reading frame, typically with an early stop codon also following shortly in the altered frame (Table 1). Testing of germ-line DNA showed that eight HRPT2 mutations (from six patients) were somatic, and two distinct somatic mutations were found in tumors from two of these patients. Two mutations were also found in each tumor from two additional patients, but it was not possible to determine the somatic or germ-line status of these mutations.

Unexpectedly, HRPT2 mutations found in the parathyroid carcinomas of three patients were identified as germ-line mutations (Table 1 and Figure 1Figure 1Examples of Somatic and Germ-Line Mutations of the HRPT2 Gene in Sporadic Parathyroid Carcinoma.), even though none of these patients had a known family history of the HPT-JT syndrome or presented with clinical evidence thereof. None of these germ-line mutations were present in 150 control subjects, nor were other mutations found in the sequenced exons. Two of these germ-line mutations (664C>T and 373insA) were not reported in a previous study of kindreds with the HPT-JT syndrome,19 whereas one (679insAG) was.19 Patient 8 had a germ-line mutation in one allele of HRPT2 and a tumor-specific somatic HRPT2 mutation in the other allele (Table 1).

The availability of germ-line DNA from 11 of the 15 patients allowed examination of their tumors for loss of heterozygosity within or near HRPT2. Loss of heterozygosity was identified in one carcinoma, from Patient 4 (Table 1 and Figure 1B). Parathyroid carcinomas from 6 of the 10 patients whose tumors revealed mutations had two HRPT2 lesions (Table 1). In tumor tissue from Patient 4, one allele contained a somatic frame-shift mutation and the other was deleted (Table 1 and Figure 1B); each of the other five tumors had two distinct intragenic HRPT2 mutations (Table 1 and Figure 1).

In the four instances in which more than one tumor sample was available from a single patient, representing primary tumor plus a local recurrence or a metastasis or multiple metastases, all samples had the same HRPT2 gene status (Table 1). These patients included two (Patients 5 and 7) for whom the identical somatic mutation was present in both primary tumor and a metastasis or a local recurrence (Table 1).

Discussion

There has been considerable progress in elucidating the pathogenesis of sporadic parathyroid adenomas,19,28,29 but the molecular roots of parathyroid carcinoma are obscure. The identification of mutations in HRPT2 in patients with the HPT-JT syndrome, in which parathyroid carcinoma is overrepresented despite the more common presence of benign parathyroid tumors, led us to evaluate whether HRPT2 is involved in sporadic parathyroid carcinoma. We found mutations of the HRPT2 gene in sporadic parathyroid carcinomas from 10 of 15 patients. The demonstration of tumor-specific, acquired HRPT2 mutations in multiple parathyroid carcinomas marks these tumors as clonal expansions, each derived from an original cell that had undergone HRPT2 mutation and had gained a selective advantage. Therefore, HRPT2 mutation is very likely an important contributor to the pathogenesis of parathyroid carcinoma. Consistent with this conclusion are the findings of unexpected germ-line mutations in HRPT2 in certain patients with apparently sporadic parathyroid carcinoma. The concordant HRPT2 status among tumors in patients who had more than one sample available for analysis is consistent with the concept that HRPT2 mutation may influence the phenotype of parathyroid carcinoma, including its metastatic potential, at an early stage of tumorigenesis. The likelihood that the observed mutations inactivated the HRPT2 gene product and the finding that multiple parathyroid carcinomas each contained such distinct inactivating HRPT2 lesions indicate that a tumor-suppressor gene mechanism16 is involved in HRPT2's contribution to tumorigenesis.

Atypical parathyroid adenomas and parathyromatosis30 are lesions that share some phenotypic features with parathyroid carcinoma but fail to fulfill rigorous criteria for cancer; study of their HRPT2 status should help clarify the extent to which they resemble parathyroid carcinoma on a molecular level. The mechanisms of action of parafibromin — the protein encoded by HRPT2 — in cell physiology and tumor suppression are unknown. Nonetheless, our findings indicate that parafibromin is a potential target for new therapeutic agents that could benefit patients with parathyroid carcinoma.

Patients with apparently sporadic parathyroid carcinoma who carry germ-line mutations in HRPT2 may, on further investigation of their clinical features and relatives, turn out to have the HPT-JT syndrome31,32 or phenotypic variants of the syndrome, perhaps with altered penetrance of the mutation. Two of the germ-line mutations we identified (664C>T and 373insA) were not reported in a previous study of kindreds with the HPT-JT syndrome,19 whereas one (679insAG) was,19 raising the possibility of a mutational “hot spot” or a familial relationship unknown to the patient.

The identification of a germ-line HRPT2 mutation in a patient with apparently sporadic parathyroid carcinoma requires clinicians to reconsider the approach to this patient and raises new management issues with respect to his or her relatives. When hyperparathyroidism recurs or worsens in such a patient, a new and distinct primary parathyroid tumor, benign or malignant, should be carefully sought in addition to a recurrence or progression of the original carcinoma, because asynchronous primary parathyroid neoplasms can develop in patients with the HPT-JT syndrome. Surveillance for renal and jaw neoplasia may also be indicated.

Susceptibility to the development of parathyroid carcinoma or other manifestations of the HPT-JT syndrome may exist in the relatives of a patient with apparently sporadic parathyroid carcinoma who has an HRPT2 germ-line mutation if they also carry the mutation. Monitoring of serum calcium levels is warranted in such family members, with the goal of early diagnosis and treatment of an incipient or premetastatic parathyroid cancer. If primary hyperparathyroidism develops in a relative who is at risk, surgery aimed at identifying and examining all parathyroid glands could be advocated, even if a more limited approach might otherwise have been chosen.

We suggest that HRPT2 germ-line DNA testing should be seriously considered for patients presenting with apparently sporadic parathyroid carcinoma. The identification of a coding mutation would be definitive, although a negative result would not rule out the existence of an undetected, noncoding mutation, and indeed, the latter are expected, since germ-line HRPT2 coding mutations were not found in affected members of almost half of families with classic HPT-JT syndrome.19 A separate question is whether and when genetic testing should be offered to at-risk relatives of a patient who has parathyroid carcinoma with an HRPT2 germ-line mutation. Genotyping of such family members for this recognized mutation would enable the focused implementation of clinical and biochemical monitoring of carriers of the mutation and offer reassurance to family members who do not have the mutation. Monitoring serum calcium levels in all persons at risk provides an alternative to definitive DNA diagnosis.
