Research Abstract |
Expression of water-channel aquoporin 1 and 4 in Rathke epithelium might stimulate to progression of cyst. Over-expression of androgen receptor in Rathke epithelium might induce proliferation with Rathke epithelium itself and inflammation in adenohypophysis. So aquaporin and androgen receptor might be novel target molecules totreat with symptomatic Rathke cleft cyst.
