Parathyroid hormone related protein and hypercalcaemia in breast cancer.
OBJECTIVE To see whether parathyroid hormone related protein has a humoral role in breast cancer. DESIGN Plasma concentrations and tumour expression of parathyroid hormone related protein were determined (by two site immunoradiometric assay and immunohistochemistry respectively) in women with breast cancer and related to the presence of bone metastases and serum calcium concentrations. SUBJ...
متن کاملExpression of parathyroid hormone related peptide in human pituitary tumours.
The presence of parathyroid hormone related peptide (PTHrP) was studied in 20 patients with pituitary adenomas and one patient with pituitary adenocarcinoma. PTHrP expression was shown in almost all of the pituitary adenomas (95%) and in 100% (n = 7) growth hormone producing pituitary adenomas. A metastatic lesion from a pituitary growth hormone producing adenocarcinoma revealed strongly expres...
متن کاملImmunohistochemical localization of parathyroid hormone-related protein in human breast cancer.
Parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) is known to be a causative factor in humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy. A polyclonal rabbit antiserum directed against the amino-terminal region of the protein and immunoperoxidase methods have been used to locate the presence of PTHrP in a series of 102 consecutive invasive breast tumors removed surgically from normocalcemic women. Positive PTHrP s...
متن کاملParathyroid hormone-related protein in patients with primary breast cancer and eucalcemia.
Parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) is a causative factor of humoral hypercalcemia in breast cancer and other malignancies. We studied circulating PTHrP levels with three different immunoassays directed against different parts of the PTHrP molecule in 48 patients with breast cancer and eucalcemia. The methods used were: (a) a RIA with antibodies directed toward the midregion (63-78); (b...
متن کاملHormone dependency of a serially transplantable human breast cancer (Br-10) in nude mice.
The human breast cancer (Br-10) serially transplanted to nude mice (BALB/c-nu/nu) grew well in female mice but very slowly or not at all in untreated male mice and female mice treated with 1 mg of testosterone i.m. twice a week. The growth in female mice was arrested by ovariectomy, and that in male mice was accelerated by 0.1 mg of estradiol i.m. once a week. Tumors in female and estrogenized ...
