I was then awarded an Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei and a Telethon Fellowship from the University of Florence, Milano-Bicocca and Tulsa, (USA) to study the role of Ether-a’-go-go-Related Gene (ERG) in cancer progression, neural function and hormone secretion. I then undertook a PhD in Clinical and Experimental Oncology at the University of Florence, and spent half of the time at the University of Tulsa (USA) as a Fulbright Distinguished Fellow. My PhD studies uncovered a novel mechanism of post-translational regulation of ERG channels expression controlling ERG current density, neurite outgrowth and apoptosis. In 2006 I relocated to Queen Mary University of London, first at the school of Biological and Chemical Sciences and then at the William Harvey Research Institute’s Centre for Endocrinology, studying signalling pathways regulating adrenal cortex development and function. After a year at the UCL Institute of Child Health, I became a lecturer in Endocrinology in 2012, a Senior Lecturer in 2015 and a Reader in 2019.ResearchCurrent members of the Group Dr James Pittaway (MRC-funded Clinical Research Fellow); Dr Katia Mariniello (Barts Charity Postdoctoral Fellow); Dr Jordan Read (Barts Charity Postdoctoral Fellow, with Profs Chapple and Metherell), Dr Charlotte Hall (Barts Charity Postdoctoral Fellow, with Profs Chapple and Metherell).

Summary Reprogramming strategies aimed at obtaining steroidogenic-like cellsThe adrenal cortex is the primary site of steroid synthesis and controls essential metabolic processes. The ability to generate an individual-specific cell platform through the generation of human induced pluripotent stem cells or lineage conversion (transdifferentiation) offers a new paradigm for functional studies, for modelling human disease and for drug testing. There is an unmet need for developing such technology in the adrenal field, as current in vitro systems are not physiologically relevant and some animal models do not phenocopy the adrenal disease. With this in mind, we have been able to generate human inducible steroidogenic cells (hiSCs) starting from skin fibroblasts, blood and urine-derived cells (Fig 1). hiSCs expressed steroidogenic enzymes, secrete corticol in a ACTH-dependent fashion and are viable when transplanted intra-adrenally or under the kidney capsule. hiSCs derived from patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia showed an altered steroid profile, which was rescued by expressing the wild-type form of the enzyme. We are currently working on alternative reprogramming strategies to generate adrenocortical-like cells and testing them on in vivo models of adrenal insufficiency. Figure 1 Molecular mechanisms in adrenocortical carcinogenesisThe adrenal cortex undergoes continuous self-renewal throughout life. The histologically and functionally distinct zona glomerulosa and zona fasciculata are replenished from a pool of undifferentiated capsular and subcapsular cells. Capsular cells expressing the transcription factor Gli1 are one source of steroidogenic cells. The differentiation of Gli1+ cells into fully mature steroidogenic cells is initiated through a distinct population of undifferentiated cells located underneath the capsule and secreting the cell-fate regulator sonic hedgehog (Shh). Corrupting the differentiation of these cells as part of adrenal self-renewal is a plausible contributor to the pathogenesis of adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC). Activation of WNT/bCatenin, another pathway active at the capsule/subcapsular boundary involved in adrenocortical growth, self-renewal and zonation, is a frequently observed molecular change in ACC. In addition to Gli1+ and Shh+ cells, another marker of undifferentiated cells recognised in rats is delta-like homologue 1 (DLK1). This is a paternally expressed, cleavable single-pass transmembrane protein, which is a member of the Notch/Delta/Serrate family. DLK1 expression is seen in many human tissues during embryonic development but in adults, expression is low in most healthy tissues. It is known to inhibit differentiation and expression is reported in numerous malignancies. We have identified DLK1 as a distinct marker for cell clusters in human adrenals, seemingly clonal in appearance, which we have named DLK1-expressing Cell Clusters (DCCs) (Fig 2A). Cells expressing DLK1 remodel from a continuous subcapsular layer to form cell clusters after puberty in physiologically normal human adrenals (Fig 2B-E). This previously unrecognised cell population comprises cells that are poorly steroidogenic and histologically dissimilar from neighbouring zona glomerulosa and fasciculata. Cells expressing DLK1 have characteristics of cancer stem cells in vitro, namely DLK1 expression is significantly increased in spheroid cultures and in viable ACC cells after mitotane treatment (Fig 2F-I). DLK1+ve cells have a higher LD50 to mitotane than DLK1–ve cells (Fig 2J). Moreover, DLK1 is heterogeneously expressed in ACCs samples (Fig 2L). The role of DLK1 and its interacting partners in the pathogenesis of ACC is being investigated through the use of mouse genetic lineage tracing, in vitro and ex vivo assays.
