“…Our extended data support this, since positive staining was seen in all adenomas studied, indicating that loss of expression is not an early event in tumorigenesis. This pattern was seen in two of the other three published studies (Chivite et al 1998, McCluggage et al 1998 but Pelkey et al (1998) found 5 of 23 adenomas immunonegative. The reasons for these differences are unclear.…”

“…The observation that the same pattern of tumour development occurred in mice bearing a SV40 T-antigen transgene, driven by the inhibin promoter (Kananen et al 1996), indicates physiological activation of the promoter for the inhibin subunit gene in the adrenal gland, which leads to the immortalisation of cells by expression of the SV-40 T antigen. In addition, there is evidence that, in the human, adrenocortical adenomas secrete inhibin-like immunoreactive material (Nishi et al 1995) and that both adenomas and carcinomas immunostain positively for inhibin (Chivite et al 1998, McCluggage et al 1998, Munro et al 1998, Pelkey et al 1998. This would suggest that inhibin is not a tumour suppressor for the adrenal cortex in man.…”

“…Most of the Cushing's tumours showed fairly strong immunostaining, although the mRNA expression was basically at the same level as in normal adrenals. Pelkey et al (1998) also presented strong immunohistochemical staining of inhibin in Cushing's and virilizing adrenocortical tumours. Very high expression of inhibin in zona reticularis and in virilizing tumours supports a role of inhibin in androgen production.…”

“…Recently two papers reported immunoreactivity against inhibin in adrenocortical tumours (Chivite et al 1998, McCluggage et al 1998. Further studies discovered a considerable number of adrenocortical tumours exhibiting no immunostaining for inhibin (Pelkey et al 1998, Renshaw & Granter 1998.…”
