OBJECTIVE
The study investigated whether autophagic activity and hypoxia parallel the adenoma-carcinoma sequence.
METHODS
The study comprised 120 tubular adenomas with high-grade dysplasia, including 22 with questionable evidence of invasion, 37 with definite stromal invasion and 29 with severely
Pituitary adenoma tissues are hypovascular, and have a lower partial oxygen pressure compared with neighboring normal organs. In this study, we investigated whether hypoxia influences the cell invasiveness of the human pituitary adenoma cell line, HP-75. HP-75 cells were exposed to hypoxic (1-10%
Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) alpha is the major transcription factor involved in the adaptive response to hypoxia. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether HIF 1-alpha protects HP75 cells, pituitary adenoma cell line from hypoxia induced apoptosis. HP75 was transfected with siRNA
BACKGROUND
Pituitary adenoma is a common intracranial tumor in neurosurgery. Some pituitary adenomas have the characteristics of invasive growth make them unable to be removed completely by surgery leading to easy relapse. Discoidin domain receptor l (DDR1) is a new kind of tyrosine kinase receptor
BACKGROUND
Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) plays a major role in tumorigenesis and cancer progression. In hypoxic conditions, HIF is upregulated and has been shown to activate multiple genes required for cells to adapt to hypoxia. AT-rich interactive domain-containing protein 1A (ARID1A), a SWI/SNF
Diminished oxygen concentration within growing tumors may stimulate neovascularization by inducing both up-regulation of angiogenic factors and down-regulation of antiangiogenic agents. A potentially important molecule in the growth of pituitary adenomas is prolactin (PRL), which can be cleaved by
OBJECTIVE
Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1alpha), a transcriptional factor response to hypoxia plays an important role in tumor angiogenesis. This study was designed to examine the expression of HIF-1alpha gene and its relationship with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) protein and
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the expression and significance of PTEN, hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1alpha), and targeting gene VEGF during colorectal carciogenesis.
METHODS
Total 71 cases colorectal neoplasms (9 cases of colorectal adenoma and 62 colorectal adenocarcinoma) were formalin fixed
The chemokine stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1/CXCL12) is known to have a homing effect, recruiting endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) from the bone marrow to ischemic foci. In this study, we investigated whether SDF-1 is triggered by hypoxia and might be a major driving force for tumor
Pituitary adenomas produce the chemokine stromal cell-derived factor (SDF-1α/CXCL12) and its receptor, CXCR4. A recent study indicated that CXCL12 and CXCR4 are concomitantly up-regulated in hypoxia. The objective of this study was to analyze the molecular mechanism of hypoxia-mediated CXCR4
The synthesis of adrenal steroids requires molecular oxygen. Because arterial hypoxemia is a common clinical condition, the purpose of the present study was to examine steroidogenesis in vitro under physiological changes in O(2) tension (Po(2)) in cells from human adrenal glands with
The hypoxia inducible factor 1 α (HIF-1α) activity has been associated with various hemorrhagic events. The biological role of HIF-1α in the hemorrhagic transformation of pituitary adenomas remains unknown. We hypothesized that fast growing tumor cells tend to predispose themselves to sublethal
Angiogenic markers in pituitary adenomas remain enigmatic in terms of their function in tumorigenesis, despite being upregulated by the normal physiological trigger of hypoxia. In this issue of Endocrine-Related Cancer, Shan et al. report that the novel RWD domain containing protein, RWD-containing
Hypoxia appears to be causatively related to pituitary adenoma. Currently, no biomarkers are available for the postoperative assessment of hypoxia in patient samples. Since the cAMP response element binding protein (CREB) is phosphorylated under hypoxic conditions, we examined whether CREB
Some studies indicate that pituitary adenoma tissues are hypovascular and have lower oxygen saturation relative to the normal pituitary gland and suggest that this may induce hypoxia. Our previous study showed that laminin beta2 mRNA is upregulated under hypoxic conditions (1% oxygen) but not under
