Despite most of them respond to medical treatment, a proportion are resistant and become a challenge in clinical management. Wnt\/\u03b2-Catenin pathway has been implicated in several cancers including pituitary tumors and other sellar region malignancies. Interestingly, Wnt\/\u03b2-Catenin inhibition augments the cytotoxicity of the chemotherapeutic agent Temozolomide (TMZ) in different cancers. TMZ is now being implemented as rescue therapy for aggressive pituitary adenoma treatment. However, the molecular mechanisms associated with TMZ action in pituitary tumors remain unclear.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>OBJECTIVES:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our aims in the present study were to evaluate differential \u03b2-Catenin expression in human resistant prolactinomas and Wnt\/\u03b2-Catenin signaling activation and involvement in Prolactin (PRL) secreting experimental models treated with TMZ.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      We first evaluated by immunohistochemistry \u03b2-Catenin localization in human resistant prolactinomas in which we demonstrated reduced membrane \u03b2-Catenin in prolactinoma cells compared to normal pituitaries, independently of the Ki-67 proliferation indexes. In turn, in vivo 15\u200amg\/kg of orally administered TMZ markedly reduced PRL production and increased prolactinoma cell apoptosis in mice bearing xenografted prolactinomas. Intratumoral \u03b2-Catenin strongly correlated with Prl and Cyclin D1, and importantly, TMZ downregulated both \u03b2 -Catenin and Cyclin D1, supporting their significance in prolactinoma growth and as candidates of therapeutic targets. When tested in vitro, TMZ directly reduced MMQ cell viability, increased apoptosis and produced G\n                      <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                      \/M cell cycle arrest.
