OBJECTIVE To isolate and identify the pituitary adenoma stem-like cells from pituitary adenoma tissue. METHODS Total RNA was prepared with 42 cases of pituitary adenoma tissue samples frozen in liquid nitrogen, the expression of Nestin was detected by RT-PCR. Tumor spheres were cultured in serum-free conditions and the immunefluorescence were used to detect the expression of stem cell markers such as Nestin, Sox2. RESULTS The positive rate of Nestin mRNA expression was 88.1% (37/42). The cultured tumor spheres were found positive for Nestin, Sox2 by immunefluorescence detection. CONCLUSIONS Stem cell markers are expressed in the pituitary adenoma tissue and the pituitary adenoma stem-like cells can be cultured in serum-free condition.

D010911 Pituitary Neoplasms Neoplasms which arise from or metastasize to the PITUITARY GLAND. The majority of pituitary neoplasms are adenomas, which are divided into non-secreting and secreting forms. Hormone producing forms are further classified by the type of hormone they secrete. Pituitary adenomas may also be characterized by their staining properties (see ADENOMA, BASOPHIL; ADENOMA, ACIDOPHIL; and ADENOMA, CHROMOPHOBE). Pituitary tumors may compress adjacent structures, including the HYPOTHALAMUS, several CRANIAL NERVES, and the OPTIC CHIASM. Chiasmal compression may result in bitemporal HEMIANOPSIA.

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.
