Pituitary apoplexy is a clinical syndrome with unknown pathogenesis. Therefore, identifying the underlying mechanisms is of high clinical relevance. Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) is a critical cytokine mediating various hemorrhagic events, but little is known about its involvement in pituitary apoplexy. Here we show that TNF-α may be an important regulator of hemorrhagic transformation in...
PDE4 cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases regulate cAMP abundance in cells and therefore regulate numerous processes, including cell growth and differentiation. The rat PDE4A5 isoform (human homolog PDE4A4) interacts with the AIP protein (also called XAP2 or ARA-9). Germline mutations in AIP occur in approximately 20% of patients with Familial Isolated Pituitary Adenoma (FIPA) and 20% of childh...
CONTEXT Pituitary adenomas are relatively rare occurrences in the pediatric population, and there are few studies documenting the profile of these tumors in this age group. OBJECTIVE To study the clinical and pathologic features of pediatric pituitary adenomas in conjunction with a review of the available literature. DESIGN A retrospective clinicopathologic review of 20 pediatric patients (...
Abstract The proximal molecular pathogenesis of ACTH-secreting pituitary adenomas remains enigmatic. Several transgenic mice models have contributed important knowledge to understanding human pituitary disease; animal and cell models have provided novel insights into mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of ACTH-secreting pituitary adenomas, mostly due to cell cycle disruption. Defective gluco...
AIM To assess the incidence, hormonal activity and postoperative follow up of the cases that are histopathologically diagnosed as atypical pituitary adenoma (APA) in our series. MATERIAL AND METHODS In this study, 13 atypical pituitary adenoma cases, by the WHO 2004 criteria, among the 146 pituitary adenoma patients operated on in our clinic between January 2009 and May 2012 by endoscopic end...
The oncogenic effects of epidermal growth factor (EGF) have long been established. EGF receptor (EGFr) is overexpressed in many types of tumors and constitutes a target for cancer treatment. The pituitary gland is a target of EGF action and it is very likely that EGFr plays a role in pituitary tumor formation and progression. However, there is a controversy in the literature concerning EGFr exp...
Introduction: Pituitary Adenomas account for approximately 10-15% of all intracranial tumors. They are classified according to their secretory activity, presenting with varied hormonal and visual symptoms. The aim treatment pituitary adenomas is reversal endocrine dysfunction preservation normal function, along decompression nervous structures control tumor growth in large Aims Objective: this ...
PURPOSE To measure and evaluate the temporal enhancement characteristics of the normal pituitary gland and pituitary adenoma. METHODS Thirty healthy subjects and 10 patients with sellar pituitary adenomas were studied prospectively using dynamic MR imaging with a 5- or 10-sec temporal resolution during a bolus injection of gadolinium. RESULTS Qualitative visual analysis demonstrated a consi...
Despite important advances in human therapeutics, no specific treatment for both non-functioning gonadotroph and resistant somatotroph adenomas is available. Gene transfer by viral vectors can be considered as a promising way to achieve a specific and efficient treatment. Here we show the possibility of efficient gene transfer in human pituitary adenoma cells in vitro using a human immunodefici...
BACKGROUND A functional pituitary adenoma can produce multiple anterior-pituitary hormones, such as growth hormone (GH) -producing adenomas (GHoma) with prolactin or thyrotropin stimulating hormone production in the same lineage. However, it is very rare that acromegaly shows subclinical Cushing's disease (SCD) beyond the lineage. Here we describe the involvement of intratumoral coexistence wit...
