Somatostatin receptor scintigraphy is useful in diagnosing tumors with increased expression of somatostatin receptors. The correct use of this technique reveals the localization of neuroendocrine primary tumors and unknown metastases in approximately 90% of patients. However, somatostatin receptor scintigraphy also can image many other human tumors expressing somatostatin receptors, including m...
Somatostatin receptors expressed on tumor cells form the rationale for somatostatin analog treatment of patients with somatostatin receptor-positive neuroendocrine tumors. Nevertheless, although somatostatin analogs effectively control hormonal hypersecretion by GH-secreting pituitary adenomas, islet cell tumors, and carcinoid tumors, significant differences are observed among patients with res...
Neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) have distinct biological and clinical characteristics, in particular a high density of somatostatin receptors at the cell membrane [1]. It is this property that allows the use of radiolabelled somatostatin analogues for imaging of these tumours. Importantly, somatostatin receptor PET/CT imaging (e.g. Ga-DOTATOC, Ga-DOTATATE, Ga-DOTANOC) is superior to somatostatin ...
On the basis that melanomas are of neural crest origin and might contain somatostatin receptors, the authors utilized 111In Pentetreotide (OctreoScan) to image 16 melanoma patients with known sites of disease. Twelve of 16 patients were positive with 38 percent imaging all sites. No lesion less than 1.5 cm imaged nor did one ocular and one amelanotic melanoma. Of the five described somatostatin...
Somatostatin (somatotropin release inhibiting factor; SRIF) has widespread functions as a modulator of neural activity as well as of endocrine and exocrine secretion. In the present paper, the binding characteristics of somatostatin receptors have been investigated in rat long bones using the stable analogue, 125I-SDZ 204-090, as a ligand. Binding studies revealed the presence of a single class...
Somatostatin and its analogs are active in the inhibition of SST receptor-positive endocrine neoplasms, but their activity and mechanism in nonendocrine tumors is not clear. Somatostatin potently inhibited growth of a Kaposi's sarcoma xenograft in nude mice, yet in vitro the tumor cells did not express any known somatostatin receptors and were not growth inhibited by somatostatin. Histological ...
Somatostatin receptors appear to be localized to secretory granules in pancreatic islet homogenates. Recruitment of these receptors to the islet-cell surfaces may mark the contact event between secretory granules and plasma membranes before release of insulin by fission. Isethionate, an impermeant anionic replacement for chloride, blocks the release step but does not affect receptor recruitment...
We and others have suggested previously that the binding of somatostatin to its receptors in the pancreas is regulated by not only somatostatin analogs but also cholecystokinin analogs in proportion to their known biological potencies. To clarify the precise mechanism by which unrelated peptides modulate somatostatin binding, the effect of a phorbol ester, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (...
