Pheochromocytoma (Pheo) is a neuroendocrine tumor that develops from chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla, and is responsible of an excess of catecholamines secretion leading to severe clinical symptoms such as hypertension, elevated stroke risk and various cardiovascular complications. Surprisingly, hypersecretory activity of Pheo has never been explored at the cellular and molecular levels from individual tumor cells. In the present study, we have combined catecholamine secretion measurement by carbon fiber amperometry on human tumor cells directly cultured from freshly resected Pheo, with the analysis by mass spectrometry of the exocytotic proteins differentially expressed between the tumor and the matched adjacent non-tumor tissue. Catecholamine secretion recordings from individual Pheo cells obtained from most patients reveal a higher number of exocytic events per cell associated with faster kinetic parameters. Accordingly, we unravel significant tumor-associated modifications in the expression of key proteins involved in different steps of the calcium-regulated exocytic pathway. Altogether, our findings indicate that dysfunction of the calcium-regulated exocytosis at the level of individual Pheo cell is a cause of the tumor-associated hypersecretion of catecholamines.
