Estudo da expressão do receptor da vasopressina (AVPR1B), do receptor do hormônio liberador de corticotrofina (CRHR1) e do receptor dos secretagogos de GH (GHSR-1a) em pacientes portadores de síndrome de Cushing ACTH-dependente: correlação clínico-molecular / Study of mRNA expression of the receptors for vasopressin (AVPR1B), corticotropin realising hormone (CRHR1) and GH secretagogues (GHSR-1a) in patients with ACTH-dependent Cushing's syndrome: clinical-molecular correlation

RESUMO
O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar se resposta aos testes do CRH humano, da desmopressina, e do peptídeo liberador do GH é dependente da magnitude de expressão do RNAm dos respectivos receptores (CRHR1, AVPR1B e GHSR-1a) em amostras de tumores de pacientes com síndrome de Cushing [SC] ACTH-dependente. Houve maior expressão do GHSR-1a em pacientes responsivos ao GHRP-6, estabelecendo-se uma relação direta entre a expressão e a resposta in vivo, tanto em pacientes com Doença de Cushing (DC) quanto nos tumores ectópicos. Uma associação entre a expressão do CRHR1 e AVPR1B com a resposta in vivo aos respectivos secretagogos foi observada nos tumores ectópicos e não na DC. Tendo em vista a resposta ao GHRP-6 em um paciente com tumor ectópico, limita-se o uso desse peptídeo no diagnóstico diferencial da SC ACTH-dependente...
ABSTRACT
The aim of the study was to verify whether the response to CRH, desmopressin, and GH releasing peptide depends on the magnitude of mRNA expression of their respective receptors (CRHR1, AVPR1B e GHSR-1a) in samples of tumors from patients with ACTH-dependent Cushing´s syndrome (ADCS). There was greater expression of GHSR-1a in patients who responded to GHRP-6, establishing a direct association between expression and the in vivo response in both patients with Cushing´s disease (CD) and those with ACTH-secreting ectopic tumors (ASET). An association between expression of CRHR1 and AVPR1B and the in vivo response to the respective secretagogues was found in ASET but not in CD. In view of the response to GHRP-6 in a patient with ASET, we considered the use of this peptide in the differential diagnosis of ADCS of limited value...
