Fig 1. Immunohistochemical staining of steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR) in cortisol-producing ACAs with different genotypes.
(A) Wild-type adenoma presenting with low StAR expression (H-score = 100); adenomas with mutations in (B) PRKAR1A (H-score = 200), (C) GNAS (H-score = 200), and (D) PRKACA presenting with high StAR expression (H-score = 200) (scale bar, 50 μm). PRKAR1A, protein kinase cAMP-dependent type I regulatory subunit alpha; GNAS, guanine nucleotide binding protein, alpha stimulating; PRKACA, protein kinase cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)-activated catalytic subunit alpha.
