Expression of genes FOLR1, BAG1 and LAPTM4B in functioning and non-functioning pituitary adenomas.
INTRODUCTION The mechanism of pathogenesis of adenomas pituitary is still unknown; differences between pituitary cells of different origin are observed. Identification of genes specific to pituitary adenomas should give better understanding of differences in their response to therapy, especially to radiotherapy. The aim of our study was to independently validate differences in the expression of...
متن کاملGender-related differences in non-functioning pituitary adenomas.
OBJECTIVES Clinically non-functioning pituitary adenomas are common tumors of the pituitary gland. No studies have yet documented gender-related differences in the growth and presentation of these tumors and nothing is known about their effects on their subsequent surgical outcome and prognosis. SETTING AND DESIGN Twenty-eight patients with non-functioning pituitary adenoma, that met strict i...
متن کاملMicroarray technology reveals potentially novel genes and pathways involved in non-functioning pituitary adenomas
Microarray data of non-functioning pituitary adenomas (NFPAs) were analyzed to disclose novel genes and pathways involved in NFPA tumorigenesis. Raw microarray data were downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus. Data pre-treatment and differential analysis were conducted using packages in R. Functional and pathway enrichment analyses were performed using package GOs-tats. A protein-protein inter...
متن کاملMedical therapy for clinically non-functioning pituitary adenomas.
Surgery is the first-line treatment of patients with clinically non-functioning pituitary adenomas (NFAs). Because of lack of clinical syndrome these tumours are diagnosed with a variable delay, when patients suffer from compression symptoms (hypopituitarism, headache and visual field defects) due to the extension of the tumour outside the pituitary fossa. Surgery is followed by residual tumour...
متن کاملOverexpression of the Notch3 receptor and its ligand Jagged1 in human clinically non-functioning pituitary adenomas
Human clinically non-functioning pituitary adenomas (NFPAs) primarily cause headaches, visual impairment and hypopituitarism due to the effect of the mass of the tumor. Surgery is the first-line treatment for these tumors. To date, no efficacious medical therapy exists for non-functioning adenomas. Previous studies have demonstrated that the Notch3 receptor is involved in the pathogenesis of va...
