PurposeTo clarify the characteristics of Cushing’s disease (CD) patients who respond to the desmopressin (DDAVP) test and its underlying mechanisms.MethodsForty-seven patients with CD who underwent DDAVP testing were included. Patients were divided into two groups: DDAVP test (+) (adrenocorticotropic hormone [ACTH] levels increased by ≥ 1.5-fold during the DDAVP test) and DDAVP test (−) (ACTH levels increased by < 1.5-fold). AVP receptor expression levels in these tumors were quantified using quantitative RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry. AVP receptor promoter activity was analyzed using a dual-luciferase reporter assay system.ResultsFemales (96.9%) andUSP8mutants (85.7%) were more prevalent in the DDAVP test (+) than in the DDAVP test (−). Indeed, the ACTH and cortisol responsiveness to DDAVP was greater inUSP8mutation positive tumors than that inUSP8wild type tumors (3.0-fold vs. 1.3-fold, 1.6-fold vs. 1.1-fold, respectively). Responsiveness to DDAVP was correlated with the expression levels ofAVPR1B,but not with those ofAVPR2. Comparably,Avpr1bpromoter activity was enhanced by the overexpression of mutantUSP8compared to the wild type.ConclusionsWe found that the responsiveness of ACTH to DDAVP in CD was greater in tumors withUSP8mutations. The present data suggest thatUSP8mutations upregulate theAVPR1Bpromoter activity. Additionally, we showed that the DDAVP test can predict the presence ofUSP8mutations.
