Title in Portuguese
Análogos da somatostatina na acromegalia: comparação da resposta clínica, laboratorial e do volume tumoral com a expressão dos subtipos dos receptores de somatostatina no tumor somatotrófico
Keywords in Portuguese
Acromegalia
Adenoma hipofisário secretor de hormônio do crescimento
Octreotida
Receptores de somatostatina
Somatostatina
Abstract in Portuguese
Este estudo analisa a expressão dos subtipos de receptores da somatostatina (SSTR) em 39 adenomas secretores de GH. Em 19 pacientes acromegálicos, a resposta clínica, laboratorial e radiológica ao análogo da somatostatina (AS) octreotide-LAR foi comparada à expressão dos SSTR. O SSTR mais freqüentemente expresso foi o SSTR5, seguido pelos SSTR3, SSTR2, SSTR1 e SSTR4. O SSTR1 e SSTR2 foram mais expressos nos pacientes que normalizaram GH e IGF-I. Houve correlação positiva entre o grau de redução tumoral e a expressão dos SSTR1, SSTR2 e SSTR3. Portanto, AS específicos para os SSTR´s poderão contribuir para o tratamento de acromegálicos resistentes aos AS atualmente disponíveis

Abstract in English
This study aimed to analyze the expression of somatostatin receptor subtypes (SSTR) in 39 GH-secreting pituitary adenomas. In 19 acromegalics the clinical, laboratorial and radiological responses to the somatostatin analog (SA) octreotide-LAR were compared to SSTR´s expression. The most expressed SSTR was SSTR5, followed by SSTR3, SSTR2, SSTR1 and SSTR4. SSTR1 and SSTR2 were more expressed in patients who achieved GH and IGF-I normalization. There was a positive correlation between the degree of tumor reduction with SSTR1, SSTR2 and SSTR3 expression. Therefore, the development of specific SA could contribute to treatment improvement in resistant acromegalics patients to available SA
