EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF MALE PRECOCIOUS PUBERTY CAUSED BY CHORIONIC GONADOTROPIN

From the First Surgical Division, Kyoto Uni,・ersity Medical School (Chief Prof. Dr. CmsATO ARAKI)

(Recei,・ecl for Publication Jun. 22, 1956)

I INTRODUCT10N

For the explanation of the precocious puberty associated with a pineal tumor, the ontogenic theory was advocated lη λsKANAZY in 1906. He experienced a case of chorionepitheliomatous teratoma in the pineal region accompan>・in江 theprecocioug pubert>・ and presumed that the precocic〕us puhcrt:-・ might be due to the secretion of the gonadotropin-like substance from the chorionepithelioma. Thereafter, many unfavorable arguments were made, so that this theory has been almost ignored.

In 1957, FuKusHIMA of our laborntor:-・ histologicall≫ examined four brain tumors with precocious puber匂’ three pineal tumors (two of them were evidently teratomas) and a teratoma in the h≫pophyscal region, and found that the twoぱ

the three teratomas contained the chorionepithelioma-like tissue, and the third one contained a c.,・totrophoblastoma-like tissue. :.¥IoreoYcr, in a part of the remaining non-teratomatous pineal tumor, which was for the most part pinealoma, there were adenomatous or canalicular structures, ~.uggesting the possibility of teratoma. Thus, of the four tumors mentioned above, three had the tissue that might produce chorionic gonadotropin and also the remaining one (larg-cl≫ pinealoma) had a possibilit.'・ to be partly teratoma, so that as far aぉ ourcases are concerned, the precocious puberty would possibly be explained b>・ the ontogenic theory, i. e. by the chorionic gonadotropin which ¥¥・as secreted from the chorionepithelioma-like tissue within the teratoma. The most illustrative case will be briefl~・ described in the following.

Boy, 9 >・cars 4 months old, clearly manifestating precocious puberty; the 日econclm目ysex characteristics were clcγeloped conspicuousl>’(public hair was gro¥1」

ing-, penis large and glan日 penisbared).

The bo.'’was 129.5 cm tall and weighed 24 kg, i. e. in normal range. The gonadotropin in the urine measured with the kaolin adsorption method

just before death was found to be considerably increased, the value being 24・48m.u. u./24 h ..

人UTOJ>SYFINIHKGS:・\\・efound a teratoma in the h,,・po1巾〉河川 regionwith a chorionepithelioma-like tissue in a part. In the lung there were multiple metas・ tases of chorionepithelioma. The histological finding of a imrtion of the main Lumor invading the pituitar>ア日talkwas similar to a pinealoma, and the h.¥・pophysis, being examined 川町I泊1sectionへwas completeb’ replaced l乃 thetumor with no

remaining anterior lobe cell. In the testes LEYDIG cells were h~’perplastic hut germ

cells were atrophic and no spermatozoon was observed. In this ca叩 ,theamount

of gonadotropin in the urine was considerably increased in the absence of pituitary

anterior lobe cells, so it could not but be considered that the increased urinary gonadotropin had its origin in the chorionic gonadotropin which had been secreted

from the chorionepithelioma-like tissue. Therefore, it can be ・assumed that in this

case the chorionic gonadotropin secreted from the tumor probably induced precocious

puberty.

Thus in the present experiments, I administered in the first place a preparation

of puri白edchorionic gonadotropin to immature male rats in a dosis which was

roughly estimated from the urinary value of gonaclotropin in this case and from the ratio of body weight between man and rat, and in the next place I adminis-

tered a I~·ophilized powder of chorionepithelioma in the same way, in order to

investigate the experimental production of precocious puberty.

II -METHOD OF EXPERIMENT

1) Experimental animal: -Male rats of the same litter were used; they were

weaned three weeks after birth and isolated, and each was fed with the same

amount and the same kind of food. 2) a) As for chorionic gonadotropin, Primogonyl, the extract of urine of

pregnant women, made by Schering Co., was usecl. b) Lyophilized powder of the chorionepithelioma were gained from the

tumors in the following two patients.

i) Female, 41 years old.

Clinical diagnosis :聞 Chorionepitheliomawith metastases.

Histological diagnosis :・ Hydaticlmole.

ii) Female, 16 years old. Clinical diagonsis:・ Teratomaof the ovarium. Histological diagnosis :・ Chorionepithelioma.

From the fresh tumor tissue at the time of autopsy, lyophilized powder was

immediately made.

3) Method of Administration:ーa) Every day 30 I. U. of Primogonyl were subcutaneously injected to rats

of five clays after birth. b) 10 mg lyophilized powder of chorionepithelioma emulsified in physiolo-

gic saline solution was subcutaneously injected three times a week to rats of five

days after birth. As a control for a), physiologic saline solution was injected under similar

conditions; as controls for b), lyophilized powder of cancer of the uterus and that

of the normal placenta were administered. Experimental animals were weighed weekl~· and then sacrificed 4 weeks (33

cla~·s after birth) or 8 weeks (61 clays after birth) after the beginning of admi-

nistration, and their sexual and other endocrine organs were weighed and histologi-cally examined.

III・RESULTSOF EXPERIMENT

A. ADMINISTRATION OF PRIMOGONYL

Nineteen male rats of seven litters were divided into two groups, one of which

was administered Primogonyl for 4 weeks and the other for 8 weeks respectively. 1) BODY GROWTH:” No di百erence was found in the lengths of the body

and tail in comparison to those in the control groups (Figs. 1 and 2). As regards

the increase in bod:-・ weight, if the rate of increase (the increased l川 h’ weight

divided b:-・ the body weight at the commencement of the experiment) was consi-

dered, this rate in the 4・weekPrimogonyl group wa日 7.45,while that in the control

group 7.04, and that in the 8-week Primogonyl group was 18.11, while that of the control group 17.65. Namelyア in the Primogonyl groups the value was a little

high, but when a comparison was made as to the mcrease in body weight per cla~"

no significant difference was found between the Primogonγl and the control groups (Table 1).

(Table 2).

The weight of the penis in the Primogonyl group waぉ0.13g, i.e. the average

weight in mature rats and was about 2.4 times as much as that of the control

group. The testes were 1.13 g which was a little more than those of the control

group, while the epidid~·rnid引, prostate and seminal vesicles indicated a distinctly

early development with an increase of approximately 2 times, 4 times and 19 times

respectively in comparison with those of the control group.

In the 8・weekgroups, the penis of the control group also showed the U-type

(mature h’pe), but the accessory sexual organs of the Primogonyl group showed

much more increases in weight and size (Fig. 2). Yet, as compared with the

di百erencein the 4・weekgroups, the di百erencebetween their weights in the Primo-

numerous spermatocytes in the seminiferous tubules were found, but in the control

group such changes were not noticed (Fig. 8, A, E). In the 8-week Primogonyl

group, though there was no distinct difference in the weight of the testis as com-

pared with that of the control group, distinct hyperplasia of LEYDIG cells was seen

in the interstitial tissue. Numerous spermatocytes were noticed in both the Primo-

gonyl and the control group (Fig. 9, A, F).

2) As regards the thyroid gland, adrenal gland and pineal body of the 4-week

and 8・weekgroup, there was no di百erencein weight and in the histological finding

to note between the Primogonyl and the control group.

Similarly to the previous experiment in which Primogonyl \\・asadministered, the administration of the lyophilized powder of the chorionepithelioma brought about an earl>’ development of the sexual organs. Namely, in the experimental group I of 4・weekadministration, there was a distinct di百erencein the development of the penis, scrotum and the other accessory sexual organs as compared with those of the control group (Fig. 3). In this group the glans penis took the mature U-t≫ i〕ein about 3-l cl川’日 after bit廿1 while in the control group the U-type of

glans penis took place approximately 50 days after birth. In the group where lyophilizecl powder of a malignant tumor was administered,

Thus, a decrease in weight of the testis was seen in the rats administered

lyophilized powder of chorionepithelioma, and similar decrease was also found,

though to a lesser degree, in rats administered lyophilized powder of the placenta.

But with the use of lyophilized powder of a malignant tumor such a decrease could

not be observed. Therefore, it is supposed that this change is caused by the inftu-

ence of the chorionic tissue.

Moreover. it was found that the administration of lyophilized powder of a

malignant tumor caused no variation in the weight of the accessory sexual organs.='.

3) In both experimental groups I and II, no change was noticed in the

weight of the hypophysis, thyroicl gland and adrenal gland as compat℃cl with the

control group (Tableメ 14,15, 16, 17 and 18).

HISTOLOGICAL FINDINGS

1) TESTIS: -In the 4-week chorionepithelioma group of the experimental

group I hyperplasia of the LEYDIG cells was noticed, but less remarkabl~· than that

taking place in Primogon~·l administered rats. Germinal cells were more atrophic

than the control group and no spermatozoon was found (Fig. 8,ぐ).

In the 8・weekchorionepithclioma group, LEYDIG cells hyperplasia was much

more distinct, but germinal cells did not differ from those of the control group.

Many spermatozoa were noticed in both groups (Fig. 9, C). By the administration of the 1~·01〕hilized powder of the placenta or of a mali・

gnant tumor, no marked change took place in the LEYDIG cells and germinal cells (Fig. 8, D and Fig. 9. D).

Experimental group II. The changes in weights of the sexual organs were more prominent than those of experimental group L and histological ex乱mination revealed that hyperplasia of the LEYDIG cells were more distinct than that in experimental group I. As was expected atrophy of germinal cells was found in the 4-week chorionepithelioma group and no spermatozoon was found in seminiferous tubules (Fig. 8, B).

In the 8・weekchorionepithelioma group, spermatozoa wer~ found similarly切

control group (Fig. 9, B). 2) In regard to the thyroid gland, adrenal gland and pineal body, no marked

change was found in both experimental group I and II.

C. COMMENT

In summarizing the results obtained in our experiments, it can be said that

by administering Primogonyl and lyophilized powder of chorionepithelioma to im-

mature male rats, though earl;: somatic development did not occur, earl~・ develop­

ment of the sexual organs was noticed. Namely, by・theperiod when rats normally

most investigators to take place through the stimulation or destruction by the

tumor of the higher sexual center in the hypothalamus (WEINBERGER-GRANT 1941),

though this them・.¥・ lacks a definite evidence. But according to FuKusHIMA in our

laboratory, three out of four cases of diencephalic tumor associated with the

precocious pubert,\’\\.・ereteratomas and the chorioncpithelioma-like tissue was found within the tissue of these teratomas. In one of them, it seemed quite provable

from the increased gonadotropin value in the urine, that precocious puberty took place due to chorionic gonadotropin secreted from the tumor tissue.

LAIPPLY (1945) reported a case of the chorionepitheliomatous teratoma in the

mecliastinl,lm of a 13・〉’ear-oldboy showing sexual precocit~’ and h:-・perplasia of

LEYDIG cells. RHODEN (1944) found precocious sexual and somatic development in a 9・month-oldIm;: with a presacral tcratoma. Besides these, there are several reports

of precocious puberty due to tl!e tcratoma containing chorionepithcliomatous tissue

which originated in the testis 01・theovarium (SAcHII 1895, FAsow 1931). Therefore,

in the case of intracranial teratoma too, it ma:-・ be reasonable to assume that

precocious puberty may result from the chorionic gonadotropin secreted from chorionepithelioma-like tissue within the teratoma.

In one of the cases reported by FuKuSHIMA the hypophysis was almost comple-

tely destroyed, and therefore the gonadotropin, that had increased in the urine

could only be considered as having been originated from the chorionepithelioma-like

tissue in both the intracranial tumor and its metastases. The gonadotropin value

in the urine of this case was sufficient to cause early development of the secondary

sexual characteristics. Though in this case the body length was in normal range and no spermatogenesis was noticed in the testis, there were hyperplasia of LEYDIG

cells and early development of the distinct secondar:-・ sexual characteristics, i. e.

the changes corresponding to those in my experimental animals. Therefore, in this 伺 se,there is good reason to believe that precocious puberty associated with intra-

cranial teratoma would have been caused by chorionic gonadotropin from the tumor.

As the term macrogenitosomia praecox (PELLIZI) implies, many cases of preco-

cious puberty reported in the literature were not only accompanied by sexual

precocity but also by overgrowth of the body. Out of nineteens cases in the lite-rature of the pineal tumor accompanied by precocious puberty, in which the full

description of the somatic development (body length and body weight) was given,

eleven cases showed the distinct somatic overgrowth and the remaining eight cases

were at the upper limit of the normal growth. Besides, according to the literature,

in many cases of pineal tumor accompan~·ing precocious puberty, the testis was larger ancl spcrmatogenesis appeared earlier than normal.

In my experiment, though the early development of the accesson・ sexual organs

and of the secondar>・ sexual characteristics took place in almost the same way as

in the case of precocious pubert:-’ in humans, no precocious somatic grO\\ァth could

of germinal eel l品 Though the accompaniment of precocious somatic growth is

common in cases of human precocious puberty due to pineal tumor, the somatic

precocit:i・ does not seem to be Eト'sc11tialfor precocious pubert.\’ bγfollowing reasons.

1) In the animal experiments reported in the literahirc on the e汀ectof chori-

onic gonaclotropin, early development of the sexual organs, especial\;γof the acce・

日目。r>・ sexual organs w日目 recognized in all cases, but body clcvelopmcnt, though it

was seldom described satisfactorilγ,seems, as in myむxpcriments,to ha¥'C not been

excessi¥・e (BoETERS 1930, SMITH 1934). But in the case of clinical use of chorionic

gonadotropin for the treatment of patients with the retention of the testis, some・

what (THOMPSON 1938) or great (lcHIKAWA 1956) acceleration of bod>・ growth was

found simultaneously with cmヤ developmentof the sexual organs. l¥おreover,in ca刈只 ofhuman teratoma or chorionepithelioma of the ovarium, or of interstitial

cell tumor of the testis, somatic prccocit:i・ wa日 noticedin addition to abnormal

growth of the叩 xualorgans, especiall>・ of their accessories (HARRIS 1917, CosTIN

1948, STAUBNITZ 1953). Thus itぉccmsthat there maγbe some cli町erencesbetween

men and animals in the accelcr<ltion of ])Ocl~’ development during the peri吋 of

puberty (whether it is naturally or artificially induced).

2) The second reason is that chorionepithelioma has the ability to secrete various kinds of hormone other than chor・ionic gonadotropin, and the proportion of

those hormons di仔ersin each chorionepithelioma. In all cases of precocious puberty,

earlγappearance of the seconclar>’ sexual characteristics is an indispensable pheno・

menon but early body development is not al ways present, and, if it is, varies in

degree case b>・ case. Therefm・e,a l〕O出 ibilitγcanalso be suppm:ed that early deve・

lopment of the bocl:i・ dependson the character of the hormone secreted by such tumors.

Next is the problem pertaining to the testis. The increase in the weight of

testis and the appearance of spermatozoa are not so charade; i日ticof p1悦 ocious

pul陀rt>・as the、earl>’ appearanceor the seconclar≫ 日exualcharacteristic日.

人ccordingtけ theresults of Ill.¥・ experiment, after the administration of Primo・

gon.d for 4 weeks, spermatozoa appeared which were not observed in the control

group, whereas after 8-wcek administration of Primogonyl spermatozoa were found

in both groups in a nearly epual amount. Of the groups to which l;;ophilized pow・

der of chorionepithelioma was administered, atroドh.\’ ofgermimd cells was noticed in the 4-weck group, whereas in the 8・week group germinal cells we1℃ found to

have returned to normal. But when the amount of powder was decreased, it was difficult for germinal cells to come to atroph)'. Thus it can be assumed that

histological cha 1igc of the叩 mi1iiferoustubules clepencls upon the amount of powder

and the length of periocl of aclrninistrntion. Therefore, also in this regard, I cannot believe that there is an essential difference between human precocious puberty

Yet, the majority of cetscs (appro~imatel~’ 3/4) of precocious puLerly accom・

panied by pineal tumor are the cases of teratoma (KRABBE1923, HoRAx and BAILEY

1925, KITAY 1954), and also in Japan, eight out of eleven cases were reported to

be due to teratoma. Besides, according to RussELL (1944), pinealoma is all atypical

teratoma. Moreover, an elaborate histological examination of teratomas revealed,

at times, that they contained chorioncpitheliomatous tissue in a part and such

tumors, if the~’ developed prior to puberty, ga¥'e rise to precocious puberty (WIRTH

1929, D. S. RussELL 1944,も"ff.0. RussELL 1945, ZoNDECK 1953). Also, from the fact that the majority of cases of cerebral type of precocious

puberty are accompanied by pineal tumor and that almost all such patients are

males, the development of precocious puberty seems to be easier to understand from

the standpoint of the ontogenic theory than from that of the hypothalamic theory.

Besides, it has been known that an overwhelming number of cases of extragenital

teratoma, especially those of intracranial teratoma have been observed in males. In

considering these e¥・idences together with the results of my experiments, I believe

the old ontogenic theory should be taken into consideration once again, even though

it seems unlikely that all cerebral types of precocious puberty can be explained

according to this theory・

su:¥DIARY

1) By the administration of a large amount of chorionic gonadotropin (Primo-

gonyl and lyophilized powder of chorionepithelioma) to immature male rats, dis-

tinct sexual precocity took place, though accompaniment of early somatic develop-

ment could not be noticed.

2) It is possible that the precocious puberty occurring in cases of diencephalic

tumor may be caused h’ the gonadotropin secreted from the tumor.
