Women with idiopathic intracranial hypertension have a distinct andro-metabolic signature compared to polycystic ovary syndrome and simple obesity

Kempegowda Punith , O'Reilly Michael , Hornby Catherine , Botfield Hannah , Taylor Angela , Hughes Beverley , Tomlinson Jeremy , Arlt Wiebke , Sinclair Alexandra

Context: Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is characterised by elevated intracranial pressure and occurs predominantly in obese premenopausal women. Signs and symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) often coexist in IIH. Here we compared the androgenic and metabolic phenotypes in IIH, PCOS and simple obesity.Patients and Methods: We studied 25 patients with IIH (mean age 34.4±9.2 years; mean BMI 37.8±5.2 kg/m2), in comp...

The cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitor LEE001 (ribuciclib) demonstrates antiproliferative effects in neuroendocrine tumor cells in vitro

Prada Elke Tatjana Aristizabal , Nolting Svenja , Spottl Gerald , Maurer Julian , Auernhammer Christoph

Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) are crucial for the cell cycle regulation and alterations of the cell cycle and its regulators are often observed in human malignancies. CDK4/6 in particular orchestrates the G1 phase progression and the G1/S transition. Here we investigated the in vitro effects of the CDK4/6 inhibitor LEE001(Novartis, Basel) on the human neuroendocrine tumor (NET) cell lines BON1, QGP1 and NCI-H727. The cells were treated with different concentrations ...

The oxytocin regulates kidney function through V2 receptor

Gutkowska Jolanta , Plante Eric , Menouar Ahmed , Danalache Bogdan , Jankowski Marek

During maturation of oxytocin (OT) prohormone, several bioactive intermediate molecules are formed. The plasma concentrations of these forms (OT-G; OT-GK and OT-GKR) increase markedly in rat circulation at the end of gestation. At low concentration in the circulation OT stimulates while OT-GKR inhibits diuresis. Since OT and OT-GKR show different effects on the urine flow, we hypothesized that OT-GKR modulates renal action by targeting the V2 receptor.<p class="...

Growth hormone increases ALAS2, the rate-limiting enzyme of Hbb in male rat hippocampus

Walser Marion , Oscarsson Jan , Wickelgren Ruth , Isgaard Jorgen , AEberg David

Objective: Growth hormone (GH) has long been known to have neuroprotective properties. Hypophysectomy (Hx) completely abolishes circulating endocrine GH. Also neuronal (non-erythrocyte) haemoglobin beta chain (Hbb) in the hippocampus decreases following Hx while GH infusions and injections robustly increase the levels approximately 2-4-fold in male rat hippocampus. Recently it has been revealed that Hbb protein is present in mitochondria in the mammalian brain. Current investi...

Impaired innate immunity in Cushing’s syndrome: increase CD14+CD16++ monocytes

Velazquez Gloria Aranda , Lopez Cristina , Esteban Yaiza , Mora Mireia , Halperin Irene , Casals Gregori , Ensenat Joaquim , Hanzu Felicia Alexandra

Introduction: Chronic hypercortisolism is marked by an increased cardiovascular risk pattern. Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammation that involves both innate and adaptive immunity. Glucocorticoids (GC) are immune-suppressors and adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) possesses immune-modulatory activities. GC and ACTH may act in atherothrombotic inflammatory pathways.Aim: To analyze the immune cells pattern in endogenous Cushing syndrome (CS) in order t...

Factors influencing health-related quality of life in chronic endocrine diseases: results from a focus group discussion (qualitative research)

Stieg Mareike , Gebert Dorothea , Kopczak Anna , Muller Marion , Sievers Caroline

Introduction: Improvement of health related quality of life (QoL) is one of the main goals defined by the WHO and besides reduction of mortality and morbidity an important objective for health outcomes. In chronic endocrine diseases, QoL often remains impaired despite cure or remission of the disease. In quantitative analyses, factors such as age, gender, BMI and depression, are associated with reduced QoL. However, aspects of social interaction and more complex individual con...

Study protocol: ‘Health outcomes in pituitary adenoma’s: focus on hormone deficiencies’

Stalla Gunter , Sievers Caroline , Geraedts Victor

Background: Acromegaly is characterized by hormonal excess of GH and IGF-1, however many patients suffer from hypopituitarism as a result from either disease or treatment. Quality of Life (QoL) is known to be reduced both in acromegaly, with mixed results on the role of biochemical control herein, and hypopituitarism. Studies report the level of surgery-induced hypopituitarism after acromegaly at 12.79% (CI 9.88–16.00%). Treatment of acromegaly aimed at normalization of h...
