Rat adrenocortical autotransplants regenerated from capsular-tissue fragments implanted in the musculus gracilis displayed an in-vitro basal gluco- and mineralocorticoid secretion qualitatively similar to that of adrenal quarters from control rats. Moreover, like adrenal quarters, they responded to angiotensin-II (Ang-II, 10(-8) M) by raising their yield of 18-hydroxylated steroids (18-hydroxy-11-deoxycorticosterone, 18-hydroxycorticosterone and aldosterone). ANP (10(-8) M), one of the main negative modulators of the zona-glomerulosa (ZG) mineralocorticoid secretion, totally blocked the ANG-II stimulating effect on adrenal quarters, but not that on adrenocortical autotransplants. Autoradiography showed that, in contrast with ZG cells of control rats, ZG-like cells of transplants did not significantly bind 125I-ANP. The hypothesis is discussed that ZG-like cells of regenerated adrenocortical nodules lack specific receptors for ANP.

Adrenal cortex autotransplantation with ACTH stimulation may be an alternative therapy for patients with bilateral adrenalectomy to avoid adrenal crisis, but its underlying mechanism has not been elucidated. Previously, we detected Dhh upregulation in rat adrenocortical autografts after transplantation. Here, we investigated potential regulators such as Gata4, Gata6, Sry and Sox9 which affect Dhh transcription in adrenocortical autografts with or without ACTH stimulation.

Bilateral adrenalectomy forces the patient to undergo glucocorticoid replacement therapy and bear a lifetime risk of adrenal crisis. Adrenal autotransplantation is considered useful to avoid adrenal crisis and glucocorticoid replacement therapy. However, the basic process of regeneration in adrenal autografts is poorly understood.

Background: Cushing syndrome coexisting with multiple myeloma has been previously described in a few reports. Overlapping clinical manifestations can lead to misdiagnoses.
Case Presentation: We presented an extremely rare case of a 33-year-old Thai woman with concomitant kappa light chain myeloma with adrenal Cushing syndrome, both of which were related to skeletal manifestations.

Purpose: Autotransplantation of the adrenal cortex may be a therapeutic alternative in the future. For successful adrenal transplantation revascularization is necessary. It is possible that vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), which is a potent angiogenic peptide, may have some roles in adrenal transplantation through 2 its receptors, kinase insert domain-containing region (Flk-1) and fms-like tyrosine kinase (Flt-1).

The factors that establish and maintain adrenocortical zonation are poorly understood. The capsular adrenal gland of the rat has been shown to develop into a functionally zoned tissue in autotransplanted glands in vivo. To examine this in vitro, capsular gland preparations (largely glomerulosa (zg) with some fasciculata (zf) were cultured in vitro in Eagles MEM (3.
