MSH6/2 and PD-L1 Expressions Are Associated with Tumor Growth and Invasiveness in Silent Pituitary Adenoma Subtypes

Mismatch repair genes mutS homologs 6/2 (MSH6/2) expressions are involved in tumor growth and programmed cell death 1 ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression in tumor immunity, but the direct association with pituitary adenomas (PAs) is not well understood. We aimed to clarify the effects of MSH6/2 and PD-L1 expression on tumor proliferation and invasiveness in nonfunctioning (NF) PAs. We performed immunohistochemistry to classify the NFPAs into gonadotroph...
