The pathogenesis of non functioning pituitary adenomas (NFPA) is a complex process involving several factors, from molecular to genetic and epigenetic modifications, where tumor suppressor genes, oncogenes, cell cycle derangements have been demonstrated to play an important role. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have also been identified as possible players in NFPA tumorigenesis and pituitary stem cells have been investigated for their potential role in pituitary tumor initiation. However, a critical role for paracrine signalling has also been highlighted. This review focuses on the current knowledge on the involvement of these factors in NFPA pathogenesis.

Abstract
The pathogenesis of non functioning pituitary adenomas (NFPA) is a complex process involving several factors, from molecular to genetic and epigenetic modifications, where tumor suppressor genes, oncogenes, cell cycle derangements have been demonstrated to play an important role. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have also been identified as possible players in NFPA tumorigenesis and pituitary stem cells have been investigated for their potential role in pituitary tumor initiation. However, a critical role for paracrine signalling has also been highlighted. This review focuses on the current knowledge on the involvement of these factors in NFPA pathogenesis.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
