A reappraisal of transcriptional regulation by NR5A1 and beta-catenin in adrenocortical carcinoma
CONCLUSION: Overall, my analysis suggests a model where NR5A1 overexpression and beta-catenin activation principally act independently, rather than functionally interacting, to drive ACC malignancy.PMID:38155952 | PMC:PMC10753177 | DOI:10.3389/fendo.2023.1303332 (Source: Cell Research)

Identification of Key Genes and Related Drugs of Adrenocortical Carcinoma by Integrated Bioinformatics Analysis
This study aims to discover biomarkers and potential therapeutic agents for ACC through bioinformatics, enhancing clinical diagnosis and treatment strategies. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between ACC and normal adrenal cortex were screened out from the GSE19750 and GSE90713 datasets available in the GEO database. An online Venn diagram tool was utilized to identify the common DEGs between the two datasets. The identified DEGs were subjected to functional assessment, pathway enrichment, and identification of hub genes by performing the protein-pr...

Identification of ACBD3 as a new molecular biomarker in pan-cancers through bioinformatic analysis: a preclinical study
CONCLUSION: According to our pan-cancer analysis, ACBD3 may serve as a remarkable prognostic and diagnostic biomarker of pan-cancers as well as contribute to tumor development. ACBD3 may also provide new directions for cancer treatment targets in the future.PMID:38098097 | DOI:10.1186/s40001-023-01576-8 (Source: Cell Research)

Adrenal Cushing ’s syndrome in children
Adrenal Cushing’s syndrome is a rare cause of endogenous hypercortisolism in neonatal and early childhood stages. The most common causes of adrenal CS are hyperfunctioning adrenal tumours, adenoma or carcinoma. Rarer causes are primary bilateral macronodular adrenal hyperplasia (PBAMH), primary pigmented adrenocortical disease (PPNAD) and McCune Albright syndrome. The diagnosis represents a challenge for clinicians. In cases of clinical suspicion, confirmatory tests of hypercortisolism should be performed, similarly to those performed in adults. Radiological imaging should be always combined with biochemical confirmatory...

CXCR4-directed PET/CT with [68  Ga]Ga-pentixafor in solid tumors—a comprehensive analysis of imaging findings and comparison with histopathology
ConclusionsIn a whole-body tumor read-out, a substantial portion of prevalent solid tumors demonstrated increased and uniform [68 Ga]Ga-pentixafor uptake, along with high image contrast. We also observed a respective link between in- and ex-vivo CXCR4 expression, suggesting high specificity of the PET agent. Last, a fraction of patients with [68 Ga]Ga-pentixafor-positive tumor burden were rendered potentially suitable for CXCR4-directed therapy.
