Cyclooxygenase-2 up-regulates hepatic somatostatin receptor 2 expression. [PDF]
AbstractSomatostatin and its analogues, which function by binding to somatostatin receptors (SSTRs) 1–5, play a protective role in liver cirrhosis. Hepatic SSTR-2 expression is up-regulated in subjects with liver cirrhosis. However, little is known about the mechanisms underlying this process.

Somatostatin Receptor Subtype Expression in Patients with Acromegaly and Complicated Clinical Course
Somatostatin analogues are considered to be the first line of treatment in acromegaly. Somatostatin analogues of the first generation mainly target the somatostatin receptor (SSTR) subtype 2 and have been proven efficient in the majority of patients with

Peptide Radioligands in Cancer Theranostics: Agonists and Antagonists
The clinical success of radiolabeled somatostatin analogs in the diagnosis and therapy—“theranostics”—of tumors expressing the somatostatin subtype 2 receptor (SST2R) has paved the way for the development of a broader panel of peptide radioligands ...

Somatostatin Subtype-2 Receptor-Targeted Metal-Based Anticancer Complexes [PDF]
Conjugates of a dicarba analogue of octreotide, a potent somatostatin agonist whose receptors are overexpressed on tumor cells, with [PtCl(2)(dap)] (dap = 1-(carboxylic acid)-1,2-diaminoethane) (3), [(η(6)-bip)Os(4-CO(2)-pico)Cl] (bip = biphenyl, pico = picolinate) (4), [(η(6)-p-cym)RuCl(dap)](+) (p-cym = p-cymene) (5), and [(η(6)-p-cym)RuCl(imidazole ...

Positive somatostatin receptor scintigraphy correlates with the presence of somatostatin receptor subtype 2. [PDF]
Somatostatin receptor scintigraphy (SRS) is positive in approximately 75% of all patients with neuroendocrine gastroenteropancreatic tumours. This study aimed to identify specific somatostatin receptor (sstr) subtypes, which are responsible for the in vivo binding of the widely used somatostatin analogue, octreotide in human neuroendocrine ...

Preoperative detection of functional somatostatin receptors in a patient with an insulinoma
Key Clinical Message Octreotide is used in patients with insulinomas to treat hypoglycemia, and somatostatin receptor (SSTR) 2 expression is important for its efficacy. We report a case of insulinoma in a 50‐year‐old woman that responded to an octreotide

Somatostatin receptor expression in parathyroid neoplasms
Introduction: Parathyroid carcinoma represents a rare cause of primary hyperparathyroidism. Distinguishing carcinoma from the benign tumors underlying primary hyperparathyroidism remains challenging.
