Pituitary-dependent Cushing's disease
0.400 Biomarker disease BEFREE Cushing disease is a condition in which the pituitary gland releases excessive adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) as a result of an adenoma arising from the ACTH-secreting cells in the anterior pituitary. 22105169 2011
Pituitary-dependent Cushing's disease
0.400 Biomarker disease BEFREE Activation of the dopamine receptor type-2 (DRD2) promoter by 9-cis retinoic acid in a cellular model of Cushing's disease mediates the inhibition of cell proliferation and ACTH secretion without a complete corticotroph-to-melanotroph transdifferentiation. 24926820 2014
Pituitary-dependent Cushing's disease
0.400 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE This can be taken to indicate that mechanisms set into motion by AZA play a role in the regulation of ACTH secretion/POMC expression in tumoral corticotropes and paves the way to further studies in Cushing's disease. 24085685 2014
