They have been detected in vitro by biochemical techniques as well as by autoradiography. The development of long-acting somatostatin analogs and the recent availability of radiolabeled octreotide have made the in vivo detection of somatostatin receptors possible. This preliminary study embraced 45 patients with meningiomas, brain tumors or pituitary tumors, which were imaged by planar and tomographic scintigraphy after intravenous injection of 111Indium-labeled octreotide. In all of the meningiomas studied (unifocal and multifocal tumors in various locations), a high density of somatostatin receptors was detected by scintigraphy. Pituitary tumors were slightly positive in 50% of cases only, independent of the endocrine activity. Gliomas with an intact blood-brain barrier showed no enhanced tracer uptake in vivo, while gliomas with disturbed blood-brain barrier had a high activity uptake. We conclude that in vivo somatostatin receptor scintigraphy, although not tumor-specific, may aid in the preoperative diagnosis and staging of intracranial tumors, especially skull base tumors.</p>","PeriodicalId":75909,"journal":{"name":"Hormone and metabolic research.

In order to understand the mechanisms underlying somatostatin's action we performed patch-clamp experiments in GH3 pituitary, rMTC 44-2 thyroid and BON carcinoid cells. Calcium-mediated hormone release depended on the intracellular calcium concentration and thus on the calcium influx through voltage-gated calcium channels. In addition to inhibiting the cAMP-dependent secretory pathway, somatostatin reduced the calcium inward currents and thereby hormone release. The inhibition of voltage-gated calcium channels by somatostatin was mediated by \"signal transducing\" Go proteins. Thus, somatostatin's actions on hormone release involve both cAMP and intracellular calcium as second messengers. Patch-clamp experiments of voltage-gated calcium channels allow functional studies on the coupling of somatostatin receptors to cellular effector systems.</p>","PeriodicalId":75909,"journal":{"name":"Hormone and metabolic research.

The 111In-labeled SRIF analog SDZ 215-811 (OctreoScan 111) binds with a high affinity to somatostatin receptors and exhibits SRIF-like biological properties, as demonstrated by the inhibition of growth hormone release from pituitary cells. We report here the in vitro characterization of SDZ 215-811 and the in vivo imaging of an islet cell tumor grown in rats using [111In]SDZ 215-811. In vitro autoradiographies revealed a high density of SRIF receptors on the pancreatic tumor tissue. As early as 5 min after intravenous injection of [111In]SDZ 215-811 into tumor-bearing rats, the tumors were clearly localized by gamma-camera scintigraphy. Even 24 h post injection, the islet cell tumor was still detectable. The radioligand was mainly cleared from the circulation via the kidneys, with a rapid alpha-phase (t1/2 = 5.6 min) and a slow elimination phase (t1/2 = 7.3 h). Biodistribution studies revealed a relatively high accumulation of radioactivity in the kidneys, but low uptake into the liver and the intestine. High uptake of [111In]SDZ 215-811 was observed for the tumor tissue (0.92 +/- 0.07% ID/g; 1 h post injection). Interestingly, a tumor load of 0.14 +/- 0.01% ID/g was still measured after 24 h. The tumor/blood ratio was 4.93 after 24 h, indicating specific accumulation of radioactivity in the islet cell tumor.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)</p>","PeriodicalId":75909,"journal":{"name":"Hormone and metabolic research.
