Reduced expression of the growth hormone and type 1 insulin-like growth factor receptors in human somatotroph tumours and an analysis of possible mutations of the growth hormone receptor.
- Abstract:
-
OBJECTIVE: Clinical acromegaly is characterized by elevated GH secretion in the presence of high circulating IGF-I levels. We hypothesized that the physiological IGF-I/GH negative feedback loop may be reset in somatotroph adenomas, specifically in terms of the level of expression of these receptors or mutations of the GH receptor (GH-R) in such tumours. METHODS: We therefore investigated the full coding sequence of the GH-R in a series of somatotroph and other pituitary adenomas. We also inv...
