Somatostatin receptor 1,2 and 5 activation leads to C6 glioma growth arrest in vitro and in vivo; analysis of the intracellular pathways involved

We report that somatostain receptor (SSTR) 1,2 and 5 activation by selective agonista, cause C6 cell growth arrest through PTPn-dependent dephosphorylation of ERK1/2 in vitro and after xenografting in nude mice. Individual SSTR agonist desplayed different efficacy and potecy showing partial synergis...
