Som230, A New Somatostatin Analog, Is Highly Effective In The Therapy Of Gh/Prl-Secreting Pituitary Adenomas Spontaneously Developing In Transgenic Mice Overexpressing The Hmga2 Gene
PROCEEDINGS OF THE 12TH INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS OF ENDOCRINOLOGY(2004)
摘要
We used HMGA2 transgenic mice to test the effect of SOM230 on the growth of GH/PRL secreting pituitary adenomas. Three groups of 9 months-old HMGA2 transgenic mice were treated for 3 months with a continuous s.c. injection of SOM230, octreotide and a placebo, respectively. SOM230 significantly affected the tumor progression and induced a partial regression of the tumor. In contrast, the octreotide significantly slows down the progression of the tumor without inducing regression. These results indicate a therapeutic role of SOM230 on pituitary adenomas secreting GH and PRL and open the perspective of a therapy of human pituitary adenomas secreting PRL and/or GH based on SOM230 administration.
