Somatostatin receptor expression in non-medullary thyroid carcinomas.
OBJECTIVE Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) is dependent upon binding of radiolabelled peptides to their respective receptor expressing cells. The main objective of this study was to characterize the expression of somatostatin receptor (SSTR) subtypes in non-medullary thyroid cancers in order to be able to recommend the use of PRRT as a treatment option in patients with progressive l...
متن کاملSomatostatin receptor expression in thymic tumors.
Detection of thymic tumors by (111In-DTPA0)octreotide scintigraphy and the antitumor effect exerted by somatostatin (SS) analogs suggest significant expression of SS receptors (SSRs) in these tumors. We measured SSR subtype (sst)2A and sst3 expression by immunohistochemistry (IHC) in 14 thymic tumors previously studied by SSR scintigraphy (SRS). Scintigraphy showed significant (111In-DTPA0)octr...
متن کاملSomatostatin receptor subtype expression in human tumors.
The presence of functional SSR in tumors has several clinical implications which include the possibility a) to control hormonal hypersecretion and related symptomatology by treatment with SS-analogs, b) to detect SSR positive tumors and their metastases by in vivo SSR scintigraphy, and c) to carry out SSR-targeted radiotherapy using radiolabeled SS-analogs. The majority of SSR positive tumors s...
متن کاملSomatostatin receptors in human renal cell carcinomas.
The presence of somatostatin receptors was evaluated in samples of 39 surgically removed human renal cell carcinomas with receptor autoradiography on tumor sections by using iodinated [Tyr3]octreotide as the radioligand. All types, grades and stages of tumors were represented. Twenty-eight of 39 renal cell carcinomas (72%) were shown to be somatostatin receptor positive. The receptors were satu...
متن کاملSomatostatin receptor subtype expression and function in human vascular tissue.
In animal models the somatostatin analog angiopeptin inhibits intimal hyperplasia by acting primarily through somatostatin receptor 2 (SSTR-2). However, the results of clinical trials using angiopeptin have been disappointing. In this study we showed that human blood vessels express high levels of SSTR-1 with significantly lower levels of SSTR-2 and -4. Samples of normal veins and arteries, as ...
