Table 3.

Distribution of E2F1 and MYC expressions (fold change) according to PitNET subtype.

Subtype E2F1 MYC
Mean Fold Change (IQR)
All 2.09 (1.16–3.78) 0.32 (0.11–0.64)
GT 3.03 (2.01–4.03) * 0.17 (0.07–0.41)
fCT 1.32 (1.17–1.90) * 0.59 (0.44–1.02)
sCT 3.45 (1.01–5.00) 0.70 (0.25–1.88)
ST 0.96 (0.69–1.41) * 0.28 (0.13–0.54)
p value <0.001 0.004

GT: gonadotroph; fCT: functioning corticotroph, IQR: interquartile range, sCT: silent corticotroph, ST: functioning somatotroph). p values: according to Kruskal–Wallis test for differences between PitNET subtypes. * Differences between GT and fCT (p = 0.002) and between GT and ST (p < 0.001). Differences between fCT and ST (p = 0.047), between fCT and GT (p = 0.002), between ST and sCT (p = 0.056), and between sCT and GT (p = 0.009).
