Structure and function of somatostatin receptors in growth hormone control.

چکیده
This new generation of SRIF analogs offer exciting opportunities to improve hormone hypersecretion in patients with GH- and TSH-secreting pituitary adenomas and possibly even in patients harboring prolactinomas and non-functioning tumors. Future development of novel analogs with improved affinity for both SSTR2 and SSTR5 may have even greater potency to suppress pituitary hormone hypersecretion and block adenoma growth.

The high expression of somatostatin receptors in many tumours, have made receptor scintigraphy with 111In-DTPA-Octreotide a widly used procedure in nuclear medicine. Despite its clinical success, some limitation and drawbacks of radiolabelling with 111In remain, especially those concerned with the cost, availability and physical decay properties of this radionuclide. 99mTc-EDDA/HYNIC-Tyr3...
متن کاملA review of the use of somatostatin analogs in oncology
Somatostatin is a neuropeptide produced by paracrine cells that are located throughout the gastrointestinal tract, lung, and pancreas, and is also found in various locations of the nervous system. It exerts neural control over many physiological functions including inhibition of gastrointestinal endocrine secretion through its receptors. Potent and biologically stable analogs of somatostatin ha...
متن کاملModulation of Peptide Binding to Specific Receptors on Rat Pituitary Cells by Tumor-promoting Phorbol Esters: Decreased Binding of Thyrotropin-releasing Hormone and Somatostatin as Well as Epidermal Growth Factor1
Phorbol esters increase prolactin synthesis and release and inhibit growth hormone production by GH4Ci cells, a clonal strain of rat pituitary cells. We examined the actions of phorbol esters on the binding of peptides that regulate the function of GH4C, cells and found that phorbol esters decreased the specific binding of epidermal growth factor (EGF), thyrotropinreleasing hormone (TRH), and s...

Objective(s): to investigate the chronopharmacological effects of growth hormone on executive function and the oxidative stress response in rats. Materials and Methods: Fifty male Wistar rats (36-40 weeks old) had ad libitum access to water and food and were separated into four groups: diurnal control, nocturnal control, diurnal GH-treated, and nocturnal GH-treated animals. Levels of Cu, Zn sup...
متن کاملCharacterization of functional receptors for somatostatin in rat pituitary cells in culture.
GH4C1 cells are a clonal strain of rat pituitary tumor cells which synthesize and secrete prolactin and growth hormone. Somatostatin, a hypothalamic tetradecapeptide, inhibits the release of growth hormone and, under certain circumstances, also prolactin from normal pituitary cells. We have prepared [125I-Tyr1]somatostatin (approximately 2200 C1/mmol) and have shown that this ligand binds to a...
