Quantitative analysis of somatostatin receptor subtypes (1–5) gene expression levels in somatotropinomas and correlation to in vivo hormonal and tumor volume responses to treatment with octreotide LAR

Abstract: Objective: To determine whether the somatostatin receptor subtype (SSTR) expression profile correlates with hormonal and tumor volume responses to postsurgical octreotide long acting repeatable (OCT LAR) treatment. Design and methods: Quantitative real-time RT-PCR was used to evaluate the absolute mRNA copy numbers for all five SSTR subtypes in 22 somatotropinomas. Response to OCT LAR was studied by hormone levels (GH and IGF-I) and tumor volume (sella turcica magnetic resonance imaging). Results: SSTR5 was pr… Show more

“…The two peptides produced by SST cells act as neurotransmitters or paracrine/ autocrine regulators via five different subtypes of human SSTRs (SSTR1-5), encoded by five distinct SSTR genes segregated on chromosome 14,16,17,20,22 [1]. The highest homology of hSSTRs have been found in their transmembrane domains (TM), with a highly conserved sequence, YANSCANPI/ VLY, in the seventh TM, found in all human SSTRs as well as in other species [2].…”

“…Sabe-se que os LRS de primeira geração apresentam maior afinidade ao SSTR2 e que a expressão desse receptor é necessária (84)(85)(86)(100)(101)(102) , porém não suficiente (110,111) para resposta a essas drogas. A despeito das diferenças nos métodos de detecção do SSTR2 (gene ou proteína), dos diversos anticorpos utilizados nos estudos com imunohistoquímica, na inclusão ou não de pacientes com tratamento clínico primário, e na utilização de diferentes critérios para controle hormonal na acromegalia, a grande maioria dos estudos confirma a correlação entre SSTR2 e resposta aos LRS (84)(85)(86)(100)(101)(102) . No único estudo prévio no qual não houve tal correlação (103) , os autores ponderam que a expressão do receptor não garantiu a resposta adequada aos LRS.…”

“…Dentre os fatores relacionados à resistência, vale ressaltar parâmetros clínicos (gênero masculino (79) , idade mais jovem (80) , maior tamanho e invasividade tumoral (81,82) , hipersinal nas aquisições em T2 na ressonância selar (83) ) e histopatológicos (menor expressão SSTR2 (73,(84)(85)(86) , menor relação SSTR2/SSTR5 (84) e padrão esparsamente granulado (87) ).…”
