activins and Cancer of Testis

activins has been researched along with Cancer of Testis in 27 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.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Human testis and testis cancer specimens from orchidectomies were cultured in 'hanging drops' and effects of activin A and follistatin treatment were investigated in seminoma cultures."1.40Hanging drop cultures of human testis and testis cancer samples: a model used to investigate activin treatment effects in a preserved niche. ( Joensen, UN; Jørgensen, A; Loveland, KL; Nielsen, JE; Rajpert-De Meyts, E; Toft, BG; Young, J, 2014)
"Germ cell testicular cancer is understood to arise during embryogenesis, based on the persistence of embryonic germ cell markers in carcinoma in situ and seminoma."1.37TCam-2 seminoma cell line exhibits characteristic foetal germ cell responses to TGF-beta ligands and retinoic acid. ( Itman, C; Jaiprakash, A; Kitazawa, R; Looijenga, LH; Loveland, KL; Mithraprabhu, S; Young, JC, 2011)
"Additional samples examined were from testicular cancer patients and from normal men subjected to gonadotropin suppression with androgen-based contraceptives."1.35Analysis of activin/TGFB-signaling modulators within the normal and dysfunctional adult human testis reveals evidence of altered signaling capacity in a subset of seminomas. ( Dias, VL; Loveland, KL; McLachlan, R; Rajpert-De Meyts, E, 2009)
"Testicular tumors were either absent or unilaterally slow growing and less hemorrhagic in the majority of double-knockout males."1.34SMAD3 regulates gonadal tumorigenesis. ( Graff, JM; Li, Q; Loveland, KL; Matzuk, MM; O'Connor, AE, 2007)
"Inhibin-deficient mice die of a severe wasting syndrome due to increased activin signaling through activin receptor type II."1.34Prevention of cachexia-like syndrome development and reduction of tumor progression in inhibin-deficient mice following administration of a chimeric activin receptor type II-murine Fc protein. ( Kumar, R; Li, Q; Loveland, KL; Matzuk, MM; O'Connor, AE; Seehra, JS; Underwood, K, 2007)
"Neither normal Leydig cells nor Leydig cell tumors produce activin."1.28Testicular Leydig cells in vitro secrete only inhibin alpha-subunits, whereas Leydig cell tumors can secrete bioactive inhibin. ( de Jong, FH; de Winter, JP; Grootenhuis, AJ; Klaij, IA; Rommerts, FF; Timmerman, MA; Vanderstichele, HM, 1992)
