Is there a special role for ovarian hormones in the pathogenesis of lobular carcinoma?
Endocrinology. 2024 Mar 29:bqae031. doi: 10.1210/endocr/bqae031. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLobular carcinoma represent the most common special histological subtype of breast cancer, with the majority classed as hormone receptor-positive. Rates of invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) in postmenopausal women have been seen to increase globally, whilst other hormone receptor-positive breast cancers proportionally have not followed the same trend. This has been linked to exposure to exogenous ovarian hormones such as hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Reproductive factors resulting in increased lifetime exposure to endogenous ...

Disruption of thyroid hormone receptor thrab leads to female infertility in zebrafish
Endocrinology. 2024 Mar 25:bqae037. doi: 10.1210/endocr/bqae037. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThyroid hormones (THs), thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), are vital for development, growth, and metabolism. Thyroid dysfunction can also cause problems in fertility, suggesting involvement of THs in reproduction. In zebrafish, there exist two forms of TH receptor alpha gene (THRα: thraa and thrab). Disruption of these genes by CRISPR/Cas9 showed no reproductive irregularities in thraa mutant; however, inactivation of thrab gene resulted in female infertility. Although young female mutants (thrabm/m) showed normal ovaria...

Human seminal extracellular vesicles enhance endometrial receptivity through leukemia inhibitory factor
Endocrinology. 2024 Mar 22:bqae035. doi: 10.1210/endocr/bqae035. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSeminal extracellular vesicles (EVs) contain different subgroups which have diverse effects on sperm function. However, the effect of seminal EVs-especially its subgroups, on the endometrial receptivity was largely unknown. Here, we found that the seminal EVs could be divided into high-density EV (EV-H)、medium density EV (EV-M) and low-density EV (EV-L), after purification using iodixanol. Then we demonstrated that EV-H could promote the expression and secretion of leukemia inhibitor factor (LIF) in human endometrial cells. In ...

A Potent Neutralizing Monoclonal Antibody to Human Growth Hormone Suppresses Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 in female Rats
Endocrinology. 2024 Mar 19:bqae033. doi: 10.1210/endocr/bqae033. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAcromegaly and gigantism are disorders caused by hypersecretion of growth hormone (GH), usually from pituitary adenomas. Although somatostatin analogues (SSA), dopamine agonists and GH receptor antagonist are important therapeutic agents, all of these have issues with their effectiveness, safety, and/or convenience of use. To overcome these, we developed a GH-specific potent neutralizing mouse monoclonal antibody (mAb) named 13H02. 13H02 selectively bound to both human and monkey GH with high affinity, and strongly inhibited the ...
