1. Primary malignant tumors of the adrenal glands
Malignancy must be considered in the management of adrenal lesions, including those incidentally identified on imaging studies. Adrenocortical carcinomas (ACCs) are rare tumors with an estimated annual incidence of 0.7-2 cases per year and a worldwide prevalence of 4-12 cases per million/year. However, a much higher incidence of these tumors (>15 times) has

2. New evidences on the regulation of SF-1 expression by POD1/TCF21 in adrenocortical tumor cells
OBJECTIVES: Transcription Factor 21 represses steroidogenic factor 1, a nuclear receptor required for gonadal development, sex determination and the regulation of adrenogonadal steroidogenesis. The aim of this study was to investigate whether silencing or overexpression of the gene Transcription Factor 21 could modulate the gene and protein expression of st

3. POD-1/Tcf21 overexpression reduces endogenous SF-1 and StAR expression in rat adrenal cells
During gonad and adrenal development, the POD-1/capsulin/TCF21transcription factor negatively regulates SF-1/NR5A1expression, with higher SF-1 levels being associated with increased adrenal cell proliferation and tumorigenesis. In adrenocortical tumor cells, POD-1 binds to the SF-1 E-box promoter region, decreasing SF-1 expression. However, the modulation of

4. Effect of cyhalothrin on Ehrlich tumor growth and macrophage activity in mice
Cyhalothrin, a pyrethroid insecticide, induces stress-like symptoms, increases c-fos immunoreactivity in the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus, and decreases innate immune responses in laboratory animals. Macrophages are key elements in cellular immune responses and operate at the tumor-host interface. This study investigated the relationship among

5. Mecanismos moleculares do efeito citotoxico da dexametasona em linhagens de celulas beta e ilhotas pancreaticas / Molecular mechanisms of the cytotoxic effect of dexamethasone in insulin producing cells and pancreatic islets
Introdução/Objetivos. A produção de espécies reativas de oxigênio (EROs) faz parte de diversos processos fisiológicos. Nos últimos anos, o aumento de EROs têm sido associado ao desenvolvimento de diversas doenças, dentre elas o Diabetes Mellitus Tipo 2. As células beta pancreáticas são notadamente mais suscetíveis ao estresse oxidativo devido a

6. Expression of IGF-II, IGF-IR, SF-1 and DAX-1 genes in pediatric and adult adrenocortical tumors / Expressão dos genes IGF-II, IGF-IR, SF-1 e DAX-1 em tumores adrenocorticais de crianças e adultos
Introduction: The molecular pathogenesis of adrenocortical tumors is heterogeneous and incompletely understood. Insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II) overexpression has been demonstrated in adult adrenocortical carcinomas. IGF-II exerts its mitogenic effects through interaction with IGF-I receptor (IGF-IR). In addition, steroidogenic factor 1 gene (SF-1) an

7. Análise da ação do ACTH e do peptídeo N-terminal da POMC na proliferação, morte celular e na expressão das proteínas de genes de resposta secundária na supra-renal de ratos hipofisectomisados ou tratados com dexametasona. / Analysis of ACTH and the peptide N-terminal POMC in proliferation, cell death, and expression of secondary response genes in adrenal glands of hypophysectomized or dexamethasone treated rats.
Different experimental models have been used to study the trophic action of ACTH in adrenal, which seems to be important in proliferation and cell death in vivo. This hypothesis was tested using hypophysectomized or dexamethasone treated rats, and through IHC we evaluate: 1-the BrdU incorporation in different adrenal cortex zone after i.p. of ACTH, FGF2 or N

8. Análise de expressão gênica por microarrays de cDNA em linhagens de células adrenais tumorigênicas tratadas com FGF2 e ACTH / cDNA microarrays used in the analysis of the gene expression of tumorigenic adrenocortical lineages treated with FGF2 and ACTH
Nowadays, a molecular biology premise establishes the activation of transcription programs related to specific biological processes. At this work the objective is to describe regulated genes that, once clustered, are able to indicate the running programs when murine adrenocortical lineage Y1 is treated with fibroblast growth factor (FGF2) or by adrenocortico

9. Prolactin induces adrenal hypertrophy
Although adrenocorticotropic hormone is generally considered to play a major role in the regulation of adrenal glucocorticoid secretion, several reports have suggested that other pituitary hormones (e.g., prolactin) also play a significant role in the regulation of adrenal function. The aim of the present study was to measure the adrenocortical cell area and

10. p53 as a prognostic factor in adrenocortical tumors of adults and children
Mutations of the tumor suppressor gene p53 have been considered to be important determinants in several kinds of human cancer. Accumulation of p53 protein has been reported to correlate with more aggressive clinical behavior in some neoplasms. The role of p53 expression in adrenal cortical tumors (ACT) has not been elucidated but some studies have suggested

11. Clonagem do Receptor de ACTH de células adrenocorticais Y-1 de camundongo e expressão em fibroblastos 3T3 e células de AR-1 para elucidação de vias de transdução de sinal / Cloning of ACTH receptor from mouse Y1 adrenocortical cells and expression in to mouse 3T3 fibroblasts and AR-1 cells for the study of signal transduction pathways.
The adrenocorticotropic hormone, ACTH, regulates both function and proliferation of adrenocortical cells binding to a specific receptor, ACTHR, which belongs to superfamily of GPCR (G-protein coupled receptors). ACTHR was cloned a few years ago, but the molecular mechanisms underlying the mitogenic and anti-mitogenic actions of ACTH remain unknown, whose elu

12. Role of ACTH receptor in adrenocortical tumor formation
Adrenocorticotrophin (ACTH) is the major regulatory hormone of steroid synthesis and secretion by adrenocortical cells. The actions of ACTH are mediated by its specific membrane receptor (ACTH-R). The human ACTH-R gene was recently cloned, allowing systematic determination of its sequence, expression and function in adrenal tumorigenesis. The presence of onc
