Description
Hatice Çalişkan Burgucu and co-authors study two proteins in adrenal tumors in a 2026 paper. The tumors make excess cortisol and cause Cushing syndrome. The team checked tissue levels of apelin and of a growth factor tied to blood vessel growth, then compared tumor tissue with normal adrenal cortex from controls.
The study covered 11 patients with the tumors and 15 controls, using stained tissue sections scored for both strength and share of positive cells. Apelin staining strength was clearly higher in tumor tissue, though the share of positive cells and combined scores did not differ. The strength measure alone separated the groups fairly well. The authors also checked links with hormone levels and tissue traits.
