Immunohistochemical expression of somatostatin type 2A receptor in neuroendocrine tumors.
Somatostatin (SS) and SS analogues inhibit the growth of various kinds of endocrine and exocrine cells via the SS receptor (SSTR). Carcinoid tumor is representative of the tumors treatable by SS analogues. We examined the expression of SSTR2A by immunohistochemical and in situ hybridization methods with a specific antibody against a synthesized 20-amino acid peptide of the COOH terminus of huma...
متن کاملAn Immunohistochemical Study of Cyclin D1 Expression in Astrocytic Tumors and its Correlation with Tumor Grade
Background & Objective: Glioblastoma-multiforme is the high grade form of astrocytic tumors with a short survival time, which are the most common type of brain tumors. Therefore, finding new therapeutic options is essential. Cyclin D1 is expressed in some human malignancies and can be a potential target for therapeutic intervention. The aim of the present study was to determine...
متن کاملExpression of the growth hormone secretagogue receptor in pituitary adenomas and other neuroendocrine tumors.
Synthetic GH secretagogues (GHSs; GH-releasing peptides and their nonpeptide mimetics) stimulate GH release, activate the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis, and release PRL in vivo. Patients with acromegaly show an exuberant GH response to GHSs, whereas patients with pituitary-dependent ACTH-secreting tumors show an exaggerated rise in ACTH and cortisol. We, therefore, studied the presence of ...
متن کاملAn Immunohistochemical Study Of P63 Protein Expression In Meningioma
Background and Objective: Histological grading has prognostic and therapeutic implications in meningioma. However, histological criteria are sometimes not fulfilled to predict the biological behavior of meningiomas. P63 gene is a novel P53 family member, known as tumor suppressor factor, with multiple isoforms and shows high expression in many normal and neoplastic human tissues. In this stu...
متن کاملGranulosa Cell – Stromal Tumors: An Immunohistochemical Study Including Comparison of Calretinin and Inhibin
Background and Objective: Histopathological evaluation of granulosa cell tumors (GCT) of the ovary may be confused morphologically with a wide variety of the tumors. Immunohistochemical staining for inhibin and calretinin can be used for better diagnosis. Although it has been suggested that inhibin can be a sensitive marker for GCT, it maybe had negative results in some cases. In addition, cal...
