Gene Expression Profiling Identifies ESRP1 as a Potential Regulator of Epithelial Mesenchymal Transition in Somatotroph Adenomas from a Large Cohort of Patients with Acromegaly

Abstract excerpt

CONTEXT: The epithelial marker E-cadherin plays a crucial role in epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Decreased protein content in somatotroph adenomas has been associated with increased tumor size, invasion, and poor response to somatostatin analog (SA) treatment, but the potential mechanisms of EMT progression in these adenomas are lacking. OBJECTIVE: We hypothesized that characterization of EMT-related...
