Somatostatin receptors in gliomas

Journal of Physiology-Paris, 2000
Gliomas differ from non-malignant glial cells in the overexpression or mutations of genes involved in cell cycle or growth regulation. One example is the overexpression of the somatostatin receptor subtype 2 (sst2), especially of the splice variant sst2A. The reasons for this overexpression are not known.

Somatostatin and somatostatin receptors in fish growth

General and Comparative Endocrinology, 2010
Multiple forms of somatostatin (SS) and SS receptors (SSTR) are produced widely in the tissues of fish and interact to coordinate numerous physiological processes. Insight into their role in growth regulation emerged from studies of abnormal growth and of whole animals.

Molecular biology of somatostatin receptors

Trends in Neurosciences, 1993
The neuropeptide somatostatin (SRIF) has diverse physiological actions in the brain and endocrine organs. A family of SRIF receptors has recently been cloned that may mediate the distinct biological effects of SRIF. These receptors have a high degree of amino acid sequence similarity among themselves, but their sequences are different from any other ...

Somatostatin Receptors in the Orbits

Clinical Nuclear Medicine, 1995
In-111 pentetreotide has been recommended for the detection of somatostatin receptor (SSR) positive tumors. Sites with increased numbers of activated lymphocytes may also show In-111 pentetreotide with Graves' ophthalmopathy (GO) compared to various other orbital disorders.

Somatostatin receptors

2002
Abstract Somatostatin (Somatotropin-release inhibiting factor, SRIF) produced by neuronal, neuroendocrine, inflammatory and immune cells as well as tumours, produces its many (patho)physiological functions through activation of specific cell membrane receptors.

Evolutionary history of the somatostatin and somatostatin receptors

Journal of Genetics, 2009
Somatostatin and its receptors have a critical role in mammalian growth through their control pattern of secretion of growth hormone, but the evolutionary history of somatostatin and somatostatin receptors are ill defined. We used comparative whole genome analysis of Danio rerio, Carassius auratus, Xenopus tropicalis, Gallus gallus, Monodelphis ...

Somatostatin Receptor PET-CT

2010
Somatostatin receptor PET-CThemploys positron emitting tracers (68Ga-DOTA-peptides) that specifically bind to somatostatin receptors (ssr) expressed on tumor cell surface and has been used mainly for the assessment of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs).

[Somatostatin and somatostatin receptors in the prostate].

Minerva endocrinologica, 2001
Somatostatin (st) exerts a role in the control of prostate growth and function acting both at hypothalamus-hypophysis level and at glandular level. St analogues have been used to control prostate cancer (CaP) in clinical trials, with contradictory results.

[Immunity and somatostatin receptors].

Minerva endocrinologica, 2001
The presence of at least three different types of somatostatin receptors in the thymus has been demonstrated using molecular biology techniques or radioimmunological methods. In view of the chemotactical activity shown by somatostatin in other lymphopoietic regions like bone marrow, it was hypothesised that this neuropeptide might play a role in ...
