Somatostatin receptor 2 (SSTR2) expression is associated with better clinical outcome and prognosis in rectal neuroendocrine tumors [PDF]
Somatostatin analogues have recently been used as therapeutic targets for metastatic or surgically unresectable gastroenteropancreatic (GEP) neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), and associated somatostatin receptor (SSTR) expression has been well demonstrated ...

Somatostatin receptor 2 expression in nasopharyngeal cancer is induced by Epstein Barr virus infection: impact on prognosis, imaging and therapy [PDF]
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) lacks effective diagnostic and therapeutic strategies, in particular at advanced stages. Here, the authors show that expression of the somatostatin receptor 2 is induced by Epstein-Barr virus in NPC and has a key role in ...

Histopathological Evaluation of Somatostatin Receptor 2 Expression in Myocarditis—Rationale for the Diagnostic Use of Somatostatin Receptor Imaging [PDF]
Background/Objectives: Myocarditis is an inflammatory disease of the myocardium and remains to this day a challenging diagnosis. A promising novel imaging method uses the expression of somatostatin receptors (SSTRs) on inflammatory cells to visualize ...

Structural insights into the activation of somatostatin receptor 2 by cyclic SST analogues. [PDF]
The endogenous cyclic tetradecapeptide SST14 was reported to stimulate all five somatostatin receptors (SSTR1–5) for hormone release, neurotransmission, cell growth arrest and cancer suppression.

Somatostatin Receptor 2 Expression Profiles and Their Correlation with the Efficacy of Somatostatin Analogues in Gastrointestinal Neuroendocrine Tumors. [PDF]
Simple Summary Immunolocalization of somatostatin receptor 2 (SSTR2) could predict the therapeutic efficacy of somatostatin analogues (SSAs) in neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). Therefore, in this study, we evaluated SSTR2 immunoreactivity and elucidated its

The new WHO classification of gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumors and immunohistochemical expression of somatostatin receptor 2 and 5. [PDF]
The 2019 World Health Organization (WHO) classification of gastrointestinal tumors defines well-differentiated grade 3 neuroendocrine tumors, the mixed neuroendocrine-non-neuroendocrine tumors (MiNENs) and classifies goblet cell carcinoid as goblet cell ...

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

Inter and intra-tumor somatostatin receptor 2 heterogeneity influences peptide receptor radionuclide therapy response. [PDF]
Patients with neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) can be treated with peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT). Here, the somatostatin analogue octreotate radiolabeled with lutetium-177 is targeted to NET cells by binding to the somatostatin receptor ...

Pharmacologic inhibition of somatostatin receptor 2 to restore glucagon counterregulation in diabetes [PDF]
Glucose homeostasis is primarily maintained by pancreatic hormones, insulin and glucagon, with an emerging role for a third islet hormone, somatostatin, in regulating insulin and glucagon responses.
