activins and Cancer of Pituitary

activins has been researched along with Cancer of Pituitary in 28 studies

Activins: Activins are produced in the pituitary, gonads, and other tissues. By acting locally, they stimulate pituitary FSH secretion and have diverse effects on cell differentiation and embryonic development. Activins are glycoproteins that are hetero- or homodimers of INHIBIN-BETA SUBUNITS.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Prolactin-secreting pituitary adenomas (prolactinomas) are the most common form of pituitary tumors in humans."2.45Activin, TGF-beta and menin in pituitary tumorigenesis. ( Lebrun, JJ, 2009)
"Among pituitary adenomas, prolactinomas are the most frequently diagnosed (about 50%)."1.72Oophorectomy improves pituitary activin inhibitory function preventing lactotroph hyperplasia development. ( Abeledo-Machado, A; Camilletti, MA; Diaz-Torga, G; Faraoni, EY; Gutierrez, S; Marcial López, CA; Peña-Zanoni, M; Perez, PA; Rulli, SB, 2022)
"As activins inhibit prolactin gene expression through the inhibition of Pit-1 involving the p38MAPK pathway, in the present work, we studied the local activin system as an alternative inhibitory system for lactotroph hyperplasia treatment."1.56Activin-inhibitory action on lactotrophs is decreased in lactotroph hyperplasia. ( Abeledo Machado, AI; Camilletti, MA; Díaz-Torga, G; Faraoni, EY; Gutiérrez, S; Marcial López, CA; Peña-Zanoni, M; Pérez, PA; Rulli, SB, 2020)
"Discovering markers to identify prolactinoma proliferative and invading character is therefore crucial to develop new diagnostic/prognostic strategies."1.48ALK7 expression in prolactinoma is associated with reduced prolactin and increased proliferation. ( Auger, C; Bertolino, P; Chanal, M; Gadet, R; Hennino, A; Jouanneau, E; Karam, V; Mikaélian, I; Principe, M; Raverot, G; Raverot, V; Vasiljevic, A; Wierinckx, A, 2018)
"Human pituitary tumors specifically express alternatively spliced activin type I receptor Alk4 mRNAs, producing C-terminus truncated isoforms designated Alk4-2, 4-3, and 4-4."1.31Overexpression of wild-type activin receptor alk4-1 restores activin antiproliferative effects in human pituitary tumor cells. ( Danila, DC; Haidar, JN; Klibanski, A; Zhang, X; Zhou, Y, 2002)
"We selected 19 pituitary adenomas that had been excised by transsphenoidal surgery and determined by immunocytochemical criteria to be gonadotroph adenomas."1.29Expression of activin/inhibin subunit messenger ribonucleic acids by gonadotroph adenomas. ( Asa, SL; Bashey, HM; Cirullo, R; Gennarelli, TA; Haddad, G; Penabad, JL; Snyder, PJ, 1994)
"In 33% of the human pituitary tumors studied, significant (P less than 0."1.28The effects of activin on follicle-stimulating hormone secretion and biosynthesis in human glycoprotein hormone-producing pituitary adenomas. ( Alexander, JM; Bikkal, HA; Jameson, JL; Klibanski, A; Schwall, RH, 1991)
