Detection of somatostatin receptors in human osteosarcoma [PDF]

World Journal of Surgical Oncology, 2008
Background The location of osteosarcoma in the metaphysis as well as the age of the patients during the most rapid tumour growth suggest that factors related to skeletal growth are involved in the pathogenesis of this tumour.

Functional profiling of somatostatin receptors identifies somatostatin receptor subtype 2 as a vulnerability in Succinate Dehydrogenase SDHB-deficient pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas [PDF]

Molecular Biomedicine
Pheochromocytomas and Paragangliomas (PPGL) are rare neuroendocrine tumors with favorable prognosis, although a significant subset (20–25%) progress to metastasis, worsening patient prognosis.

A quantitative study of inhibitory interneurons in laminae I-III of the mouse spinal dorsal horn [PDF]

, 2013
Laminae I-III of the spinal dorsal horn contain many inhibitory interneurons that use GABA and/or glycine as a neurotransmitter. Distinct neurochemical populations can be recognised among these cells, and these populations are likely to have differing ...

Cryo-EM structure of the human somatostatin receptor 2 complex with its agonist somatostatin delineates the ligand-binding specificity

eLife, 2022
Somatostatin is a peptide hormone that regulates endocrine systems by binding to G-protein-coupled somatostatin receptors. Somatostatin receptor 2 (SSTR2) is a human somatostatin receptor and is highly implicated in hormone disorders, cancers, and ...

Somatostatin Receptors and Analogs in Pheochromocytoma and Paraganglioma: Old Players in a New Precision Medicine World

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2021
Neuroendocrine tumors overexpress somatostatin receptors, which serve as important and unique therapeutic targets for well-differentiated advanced disease.

Somatostatin and Somatostatin Receptors: From Signaling to Clinical Applications in Neuroendocrine Neoplasms

Biomedicines, 2021
Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) are heterogeneous neoplasms which arise from neuroendocrine cells that are distributed widely throughout the body. Although heterogenous, many of them share their ability to overexpress somatostatin receptors (SSTR) on ...

Molecular targets in acromegaly

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022
Molecular therapeutic targets in growth hormone (GH)-secreting adenomas range from well-characterized surface receptors that recognize approved drugs, to surface and intracellular markers that are potential candidates for new drug development.

Octreotide Counteracts IFN-γ-Induced Endothelial Inflammation. [PDF]

J Biochem Mol Toxicol
ABSTRACT Endothelial cells maintain vascular homeostasis through the regulation of permeability and coagulation. Interferon‐gamma (IFN‐γ), a proinflammatory cytokine released by activated T lymphocytes and natural killer cells, disrupts endothelial junctional integrity, leading to barrier dysfunction.

Neurochemical characterisation of lamina II inhibitory interneurons that express GFP in the PrP-GFP mouse [PDF]

, 2013
Background Inhibitory interneurons in the superficial dorsal horn play important roles in modulating sensory transmission, and these roles are thought to be performed by distinct functional populations. We have identified 4 non-overlapping classes among
