概括
E-cadherin表达不能预测皮质瘤 (PitNETs) 的行为. 活体和静态皮质otroph PitNETs 的分子特征相似,表明具有明显分泌差异的共同起源.
科学领域:
- 内分泌学 在内分泌学.
- 在瘤学瘤学.
- 分子生物学分子生物学
背景情况:
- 皮质形腺瘤/垂体神经内分泌瘤 (PitNETs) 导致显著的发病率和死亡率,预后预测因素有限.
- E-cadherin表达是已知的 somatotroph PitNETs 的预后标志物,但其在皮质otroph PitNETs 中的作用尚未被探索.
研究的目的:
- 调查E-cadherin表达与皮质形腺瘤/PitNETs中的瘤特征之间的相关性.
- 为了比较临床活跃和沉默的皮质otroph PitNETs的分子特征.
主要方法:
- 77名患有皮质腺瘤/PitNETs.的成年患者的回顾性图表审查.
- 免疫组织化学 (IHC) 对于E-cadherin和上皮质激素颗粒化模式.
- 对16种瘤的子集进行基因表达微阵列分析.
主要成果:
- E-cadherin表达 (阳性,减弱或不存在) 与皮质变性PitNET亚型,大小或预后没有相关性.
- 密集颗粒 (DG) 微腺瘤是常见的;与稀疏颗粒 (SG) 相比,宏腺瘤在DG亚型中显示出更大的入侵.
- 活跃和静默的皮质变体PitNETs具有相似的分子特征,表明它们的起源相同,但分泌特征不同.
结论:
- 对于皮质营养不良的PitNETs,E-cadherin不是一个可靠的预后标志物.
- 瘤颗粒化模式 (DG与SG) 可能与入侵有关,特别是在宏腺瘤中.
- 皮质变性PitNETs,无论临床活动如何,都来自一个共同的细胞起源,具有与激素分泌相关的独特分子特征.

Cadherins in Tissue Organization
3.0K
The cadherins are a superfamily of cell adhesion molecules comprising over 180 variants, with specific tissues expressing a particular combination of cadherin types. Cadherins generally exhibit homophilic binding; i.e., cadherins on one cell bind to cadherins of the same or closely related type on another cell. Thus, cells of the same type have a specific affinity to bind to each other and sort themselves into clusters to form tissues.

Structure of Cadherins
3.3K
The cadherins were one of the first cell adhesion molecules discovered; the term “cadherins” is based on their calcium-dependent adhering properties. The first cadherins discovered on the epithelial, neuronal, and placental cells were named E-cadherin, P-cadherin, and N-cadherin, respectively. These classical cadherins share sequence and structural similarities. Other cadherins, including those involved in cell signaling, are grouped into non-classical cadherins. This...
