“…PTTG1 is a growth factor with a well-established role in carcinogenesis and invasion, partly regulated through the c-myc pathway ( 224 ). A meta-analysis has confirmed increased PTTG1 expression in invasive pituitary tumors ( 225 ) (this has also been replicated in NFPTs ( 226 )). Pituitary tumors show a global increase in H3K9 acetylation compared to normal pituitary, with increased acetylation seen in tumors with increased Ki-67 index ( 227 ).…”

“…This finding has been also observed in nongNFPA patients. In fact, women with nongNFPA, the preoperative duration of symptoms is shorter, the tumors are larger and more invasive, and the clinical outcome is worse than in men [13,14]. These findings are just the opposite of what have been described in gPRLoma [15,16].…”

“…PTTG is also involved in angiogenesis via induction of FGF and VEGF [110]. Overexpression of PTTG contributes to cellular transformation and tumor development and has been implicated in endocrine and non-endocrine tumors, including those of the pituitary, thyroid, ovary, breast, prostate, lung, esophagus, colon, and central nervous system [110,111]. PTTG is overexpressed in approximately 90% of pituitary adenomas compared with low or no expression in normal pituitary tissue and PTTG has been demonstrated to correlate with Ki67 and tumor invasiveness and aggression [111][112][113].…”
