FGFR4 polymorphic alleles modulate mitochondrial respiration: A novel target for somatostatin analog action in pituitary tumors
We reported that a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) at codon 388 of the fibroblast growth factor receptor 4 (FGFR4-Gly388Arg) can result in distinct proteins that alter pituitary cell growth and function. Here, we examined the differential properties of the available therapeutic somatostatin analogs, octreotide and pasireotide, in pituitary tumor cells expressing the different FGFR4 isoform...
متن کاملPolymorphic variants of adrenoceptors: pharmacology, physiology, and role in disease.
The human genome encodes nine different adrenoceptor genes. These are grouped into three families, namely, the α1-, α2-, and β-adrenoceptors, with three family members each. Adrenoceptors are expressed by most cell types of the human body and are primary targets of the catecholamines epinephrine and norepinephrine that are released from the sympathetic nervous system during its activation. Upon...
متن کاملProgramming with Polymorphic Variants
Type inference for structural polymorphism —i.e. record and variant polymorphism— has been an active area of research since more than 10 years ago, and many results have been obtained. However these results are yet to be applied to real programming languages. Based on our experience with the Objective Label system, we describe how variant polymorphism can be integrated in a programming language...
متن کاملAlzheimer's disease risk variants modulate endophenotypes in mild cognitive impairment
INTRODUCTION We evaluated the effect of Alzheimer's disease (AD) susceptibility loci on endophenotypes closely related with AD pathology in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). METHODS We selected 1730 MCI patients from four independent data sets. Weighted polygenic risk scores (PGS) were constructed of 18 non-apolipoprotein E (APOE) AD risk variants. In addition, we determined APOE...
متن کاملDilated Cardiomyopathy Revealing Cushing Disease
Cardiovascular impairments are frequent in Cushing’s syndrome and the hypercortisolism can result in cardiac structural and functional changes that lead in rare cases to dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Such cardiac impairment may be reversible in response to a eucortisolaemic state. A 43-year-old man with a medical past of hypertension and history of smoking presented to the emergency department ...
