- BACKGROUND: Most patients who have been surgically treated for secondary hyperparathyroidism (HPT) harbor at least one pathological parathyroid gland with a tumor of monoclonal origin. OBJECTIVE: To elucidate the underlying genetic mechanisms behind secondary HPT, by studying a panel of such tumors for numerical alterations. METHODS: Sixteen parathyroid glands from eight patients (median age 58 years, range 31-74 years), were screened for numerical chromosomal imbalances, using comparative genomic hybridization (CGH). Mutation analysis of the multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 gene (MEN1) was also performed by sequencing of the coding region. RESULTS: The results show that gross chromosomal alterations occur rarely in secondary HPT. In one of the three glands analyzed from one patient, a complete loss of chromosome 11 was detected. This gland also had an inactivating nonsense mutation, E469X, of the MEN1 gene. The mutation was present neither in the other two glands, nor in the constitutional tissue of the same patient, thus confirming its somatic origin. CONCLUSIONS: The relative lack of numerical chromosomal alterations would suggest that more discrete genetic alterations are responsible for the monoclonal growth in the majority of cases of secondary HPT. Furthermore, somatic inactivation of the MEN1 tumor suppressor gene contributes to the tumorigenesis in a small proportion of the cases.

- In Notch signaling, cell-bound ligands activate Notch receptors on juxtaposed cells, but the relationship between ligand endocytosis, ubiquitylation and ligand-receptor interaction remains poorly understood. To study the specific role of ligand-receptor interaction, we identified a missense mutant of the Notch ligand Jagged1 (Nodder, Ndr) that failed to interact with Notch receptors, but retained a cellular distribution that was similar to wild-type Jagged1 (Jagged1WT) in the absence of active Notch signaling. Both Jagged1WT and Jagged1Ndr interacted with the E3 ubiquitin ligase Mind bomb, but only Jagged1WT showed enhanced ubiquitylation after co-culture with cells expressing Notch receptor. Cells expressing Jagged1WT, but not Jagged1Ndr, trans-endocytosed the Notch extracellular domain (NECD) into the ligand-expressing cell, and NECD colocalized with Jagged1WT in early endosomes, multivesicular bodies and lysosomes, suggesting that NECD is routed through the endocytic degradation pathway. When coexpressed in the same cell, Jagged1Ndr did not exert a dominant-negative effect over Jagged1WT in terms of receptor activation. Finally, in Jag1Ndr/Ndr mice, the ligand was largely accumulated at the cell surface, indicating that engagement of the Notch receptor is important for ligand internalization in vivo. In conclusion, the interaction-dead Jagged1Ndr ligand provides new insights into the specific role of receptor-ligand interaction in the intracellular trafficking of Notch ligands.
