BACKGROUND Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1), also called Wermer syndrome, is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by tumors of the parathyroid glands, the anterior pituitary, and the endocrine pancreas. CASE REPORT Here, we report a case of MEN1. Our patient was a 44-year-old woman who manifested typical features of MEN1, including insulinoma, pituitary tumors, and parathyro...
Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) is characterized by the combined occurrence of pituitary, pancreatic, and parathyroid tumors showing loss of heterozygosity in the putative tumor suppressor gene MEN1. This gene encodes the protein menin, the overexpression of which inhibits cell proliferation in vitro. In this study, we conducted a preclinical evaluation of MEN1 gene therapy in pituit...
The management of aggressive pituitary tumors remains a challenge, however, the recent identification of temozolomide as a chemotherapeutic agent with significant efficacy against these tumors has heralded a new therapeutic era. There has been an exponential growth in the international experience with temozolomide over the past five years, now totaling 50 published cases. Overall, 67 % of cases...
Although most pituitary tumors are benign, some are invasive or aggressive. In the absence of specific markers of malignancy, only tumors with metastases are considered malignant. To identify markers of invasion and aggressiveness, we focused on prolactin (PRL) tumors in the human and rat. Using radiology and histological methods, we classified 25 human PRL tumors into three groups (non-invasiv...
The existence of tissue-specific progenitor/stem cells in the adult pituitary gland of the mouse has been demonstrated recently using genetic tracing experiments. These cells have the capacity to differentiate into all of the different cell lineages of the anterior pituitary and self-propagate in vitro and can therefore contribute to normal homeostasis of the gland. In addition, they play a cri...
CONTEXT Limited screening suggests that three germline mutations in the aryl hydrocarbon receptor interacting protein (AIP) gene are not involved in sporadic pituitary tumorigenesis. Multiple novel mutations of this gene have since been identified in familial isolated pituitary adenoma cohorts. OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to undertake full AIP coding sequence screening to assess ...
