Abstract:
:Adenylate cyclase responses to pituitary hormones including adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), biogenetic amines, prostaglandin E1 (PGE1), angiotensin II, and glucagon were evaluated in adrenocortical tumors and hyperplastic adrenal tissues, obtained from patients with Cushing's syndrome at surgery, and in normal adrenals. The adenylate cyclase of two normal adrenals was activated only by ACTH and PGE1 among the hormones tested, while that of two hyperplastic adrenal tissues due to excessive pituitary ACTH secretion was stimulated only by ACTH. Of five ACTH-responsive adrenocortical adenomas, in contrast, three were stimulated by norepinephrine, two by epinephrine, one by thyroid-stimulating hormone, and one by luteinizing hormone in addition to ACTH, indicating the presence of multiple receptors for hormones other than ACTH and PGE1 in these four tumors. The cyclase of an ACTH-unresponsive adrenocortical carcinoma ws activated only by PGE1 and not by other hormones including ACTH, whereas that of an ACTH-responsive adrenocortical nodular hyperplasia was stimulated by ACTH and glucagon but not by other hormones including PGE1. These results indicate the presence of multiple receptors for hormones other than ACTH and PGE1, the normal adrenocortical stimulants, in human adrenocortical tumors, particularly in adrenal adenomas, but not in normal and hyperplastic (of whichever an etiology) adrenocortical tissues, suggesting a functional alteration of the cellular membrane receptors in human adrenocortical tumors.

CANCER RESEARCH文献大全abstract::Primary and metastatic bone cancers are difficult to eradicate and novel approaches are needed to improve treatment and extend life. As bone cancer grows, osteoclasts, the principal bone-resorbing cells of the body, are recruited to and activated at sites of cancer. In this investigation, we determined if osteoclast l...
