Differential gene expression in ACTH -secreting and non-functioning pituitary tumors
1 Dec 2007
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Differential expression of several genes between ACTH-secreting pituitary tumors causing Cushing' disease (CD), silent corticotroph adenoma (SCA), and non-functioning pituitary tumors (NFT) was investigated. DESIGN AND METHODS: We used tissue specimens from 35 pituitary tumors (12 CD, 8 SCA, and 15 NFT). Steady-state mRNA levels of the genes related to proopiomelanocortin (POMC) transcription,...
