Pathology and gene mutations of aldosterone-producing lesions.
Endocrine Journal 2023 September 27
The human adrenal cortex secretes aldosterone and cortisol as major corticosteroids. For their production, CYP11B2 and CYP11B1 catalyze the last steps in the syntheses of aldosterone and cortisol, respectively. In our previous study, CYP11B2 was the first successfully purified from rat adrenals and human clinical samples and then was proved to be aldosterone synthase. We demonstrated the immunohistochemistry for CYP11B2 of both rats and humans and applied it clinically to visualize the functional histology of aldosterone-producing adenoma (APA) causing primary aldosteronism (PA). We discovered aldosterone-producing cell clusters (APCCs) and possible APCC-to-APA transitional lesions (pAATLs) and further visualized aldosterone-producing lesions for rare forms of PA including familial hyperaldosteronism type 3 and novel non-familial juvenile PA. Here we review the history of our research on aldosterone-producing lesions.
