TTF-1-positive oncocytic sellar tumor with follicle formation/ependymal differentiation: non-adenomatous tumor capable of two different interpretations as a pituicytoma or a spindle cell oncocytoma.

Immunohistochemistry across the SCO cohort demonstrated robust MAPK activity in all cases (n=4), as evidenced by strong phospho-ERK staining, while phospho-AKT levels suggested only basal levels of PI3K pathway activation.

In the testicular biopsy samples, both PABPC1 and PABPC3 mRNA expressions were gradually decreased from hyposperm to SCO groups (P < 0.05), whereas there was no remarkable difference for the EPAB expression among groups.
Moreover, hiSCs can sustain the viability of spermatogonia cells harvested from mouse seminiferous tubules. hiSCs suppress the proliferation of human T lymphocytes and protect xenotransplanted human cells in mice with normal immune systems. hiSCs also allow us to determine a gene associated with Sertoli cell only syndrome (SCO), CX43, is indeed important in regulating the maturation of Sertoli cells.
Multinomial logistic regression showed that FSH was a significant predictor of testis histology in 58% of cases, although it was unable to correctly classify cases with focal SCO or maturation arrest (MA).
Mutation screening of the exons and 5' flanking region of the BPY2 genes was carried out by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequencing in 106 infertile patients with a Sertoli cell-only (SCO) phenotype and in 126 fertile men.

Pituicytoma can also mimic other neoplasms of the sellar and parasellar regions microscopically - meningioma, schwannoma and pilocytic astrocytoma - and shares immunohistochemical expression of TTF-1 with spindle cell oncocytoma and granular cell tumor of the sellar region, suggesting a common histogenesis.

The aim of the present investigation was to study bioactivity and the glycosylation pattern of serum FSH and the occurrence of mutations in the FSH receptor in infertile patients with SCO compared to normal men.
