Is there an ultra-short loop feedback of ACTH on itself?

Sharma M , Nanzer A , Morris D , Adams E , Korbonits M , Grossman A

It has been postulated that ACTH might modulate its own secretion by a negative feedback loop and we have recently found that the ACTH receptor (MC2R) is present in both normal and tumorous human corticotrophs. In this study we investigated the expression of the ACTH receptor in mouse and rat pituitary tissue as well as mouse pituitary tumour (AtT20) cells and studied the effect of Synacthen (ACTH [1-24]) on ACTH secretion, cAMP release and cell proliferation in AtT20 cells. M...

Background: Tumors of neuroendocrine origin are a rare, heterogenous group of neoplasms. Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) are categorized by site of origin, differentiation status, and by grade (Ki-67 expression and/or mitotic rate), with significant prognostic variability accordingly. These tumors frequently metastasize to bone, with reported incidence between 6-12% by older SSTR imaging. Our study evaluates patients with well-differentiated tumors of neuroendocrine origin to ...
