Somatostatin Receptor Subtypes 2 and 5 Differentially Affect Proliferation in Vitro of the Human Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma Cell Line TT
2001-05-01
Abstract excerpt
Somatostatin and its receptors (SSTR1 to SSTR5) are expressed in normal human parafollicular C cells and medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), but the role of SSTR subtypes in cell growth regulation is still not clear. The present study demonstrates that the human MTC cell line TT stably expresses all the SSTR subtypes and responds to SSTR2 and SSTR5 activation by subtype-selective agonists with two different pattern...
