Abstract：
:MAP-2, a well characterized member of the microtubule associated protein (MAP) family, binds to and stabilizes microtubules and is involved in cell proliferation as well as neuronal differentiation. The aim of the present work was to study MAP-2 expression in human adenohypophyses and pituitary adenomas. To our knowledge, data regarding MAP-2 expression in human pituitaries has not been reported to date. For immunohistochemistry, the streptavidin-biotin-peroxidase complex method was used. Nine non-tumorous adenohypophyses and 77 adenomas (GH-, PRL-, ACTH-, TSH-, FSH/LH- and/or alpha subunit- producing or immunonegative tumors) were investigated. The results show that MAP-2 is expressed in the cytoplasm of non-tumorous adenohypophysial cells as well as of various pituitary adenoma types. No significant correlation was found between MAP-2 expression and gender, patient age, mitotic activity, MIB-1 labelling indices, hormone immunoprofile, and endocrine status, ie. hormonal activity or lack thereof. Thus MAP-2 expression cannot be used to estimate cell proliferation rate, growth potential, endocrine activity or biologic behaviour of an adenoma. Immunopositivity appeared to be stronger in the cytoplasm of adenoma cells than in that of non-tumorous adenohypophysial cells, implying that the adenoma cells contain larger quantities of MAP-2. It can be concluded that the functional activity of MAP-2 is not associated with the manufacture of any specific adenohypophysial hormone(s) and is not limited to one specific cell type.
