1.Analysis of Circulating MicroRNAs In Vivo following Administration of Dexamethasone and Adrenocorticotropin.
Igaz I1, Nyírő G2, Nagy Z3, Butz H2, Nagy Z4, Perge P3, Sahin P1, Tóth M3, Rácz K5, Igaz P3, Patócs A6. Int J Endocrinol. 2015;2015:589230. doi: 10.1155/2015/589230. Epub 2015 Jun 16.
Purpose. The interaction of hormones of the pituitary-adrenal axis and adrenal cortex-associated circulating microRNAs is mostly unknown. We have studied the effects of dexamethasone and adrenocorticotropin on the expression of five circulating microRNAs (hsa-miR-27a, hsa-miR-200b, hsa-miR-214, hsa-miR-483-5p, and hsa-miR-503) reported to be related to the adrenal cortex in plasma samples. Methods. Expression of microRNAs was studied in plasma samples of 10 individuals examined by 1 mg dexamethasone suppression test and another 10 individuals stimulated by 250 μg tetracosactide (adrenocorticotropin). Total RNA was isolated and microRNA expression was analyzed by real-time reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction normalized to cel-miR-39 as reference. Results. Only circulating hsa-miR-27a proved to be significantly modulated in vivo by hormonal treatments: its expression was upregulated by dexamethasone whereas it was suppressed by adrenocorticotropin.

AIMS: To describe cortisol response to tetracosactide and to review the literature on adrenal function in non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (NCCAH) patients.
3.Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of the adrenal gland: a rare cause of primary adrenal insufficiency.
de Sousa Lages A1, Bastos M1, Oliveira P1, Carrilho F1. BMJ Case Rep. 2016 Mar 18;2016. pii: bcr2016214920. doi: 10.1136/bcr-2016-214920.
Although it is a rare entity, primary lymphoma of the adrenal gland should be considered in the differential diagnosis of bilateral nodular adrenal lesions, particularly when there is evidence of associated adrenal insufficiency. We describe the case of an 83-year-old woman admitted to the emergency department due to a month's history of asthenia, weight loss, anorexia and nausea. Abdominopelvic CT showed bilateral nodular lesions of adrenal glands and a stimulation test with tetracosactide was compatible with primary adrenal insufficiency. CT-guided biopsy of the left adrenal gland was performed, and histopathological results were consistent with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Positron emission tomography (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose detected two intensely hypermetabolic lesions limited to both adrenal glands. Replacement therapy with hydrocortisone 15 mg/day and fludrocortisone 0.1 mg/day was promptly started and chemotherapy with rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine and prednisone was initiated after haematology-oncology consultation.

INTRODUCTION: This report describes our experience using a low-dose synthetic adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) analog for patients affected by nephrotic syndrome who had not responded to or had relapsed after steroid and immunosuppressive treatments.
