CONTEXT: Primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) resulting from parathyroid tumors is a common endocrine disorder with incompletely understood etiology, affecting about 1% of the adult population, with an even higher prevalence for elderly individuals. In renal failure, secondary hyperparathyroidism (sHPT) occurs with multiple tumor development as a result of calcium and vitamin D regulatory disturbance. OBJECTIVE: Aberrant Wnt/beta-catenin signaling with accumulation of beta-catenin in the cytoplasm/nucleus is involved in the development of a variety of neoplasms. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway is activated in parathyroid adenomas of pHPT and in hyperplastic glands from uremic patients with sHPT. DESIGN: Immunohistochemistry, Western blotting, real-time quantitative RT-PCR, and DNA sequencing were performed. RESULTS: beta-Catenin was accumulated in all analyzed parathyroid tumors (n = 47) from patients with pHPT and from patients with HPT secondary to uremia. The accumulation included nonphosphorylated, stabilized (transcriptionally active) beta-catenin. The overexpression was not related to increased beta-catenin mRNA levels. A protein-stabilizing mutation in exon 3 of beta-catenin (S37A) was detected in three of 20 pHPT tumors (15%). No mutation was detected in secondary hyperplastic glands (n = 20), and no evidence for truncated adenomatosis polyposis coli proteins was found in adenomas and secondary hyperplastic glands. Mutations in other Wnt signaling components leading to beta-catenin accumulation, other than in beta-catenin itself, are therefore anticipated. The beta-catenin target gene c-myc was overexpressed in a substantial fraction of the parathyroid tumors. CONCLUSION: Our results strongly suggest that modifications in the Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway may be involved in the development of hyperparathyroidism.
