AbstractWe have previously demonstrated that measurement of tissue concentration of the novel secretogranin II-derived peptide EM66 may help to discriminate between benign and malignant pheochromocytomas. The aim of the present study was to characterize EM66 in plasma and urine of healthy volunteers and pheochromocytoma patients, in order to further evaluate the usefulness of this peptide as a circulating marker for the management of the tumors. HPLC analysis of plasma and urine samples demonstrated that the EM66-immunoreactive material coeluted with the recombinant peptide. In healthy volunteers, plasma and urinary EM66 levels were, respectively, 2.6 (1.9-3.7) ng/ml and 2.9 (1.9-4.6) ng/ml. In patients with pheochromocytoma, plasma EM66 levels were 10-fold higher than those of healthy volunteers (26.9 (7.3-44) ng/ml), and returned to normal values after removal of the tumor. In contrast, urinary EM66 levels were not significantly different from those of healthy volunteers (3.2 (2.2-3.9) ng/ml). Measurement of total or free plasma metanephrines and 24 hr urinary metanephrines in our series of patients revealed that these tests, taken separately, are less sensitive than the EM66 determination. Pheochromocytes in primary culture secreted high levels of EM66, suggesting that the chromaffin tumor was actually responsible for the increased plasma peptide concentrations in the patients. These data indicate that EM66 is secreted in the general circulation and that elevated plasma EM66 levels are correlated with the occurrence of pheochromocytoma. Thus, EM66 is a sensitive plasma marker that should be considered as a complementary tool in the management of pheochromocytoma. © 2005 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
