#1542 Selective Inhibition of PI3Kalpha (BYL719) - Promising Therapeutic Option for Neuroendocrine Tumors?

Introduction: Neuroendocrine tumors are heterogeneous, often functional malignancies and their therapeutic options are limited. As the PI3 kinase signaling is ­in GEP-NENs, selective PI3Kalpha inhibitors may be more potent than panPI3K inhibitors.

#1404 The Proteasome Inhibitor Bortezomib Is a Highly Effective Treatment Option for Gastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Neoplasms and Sensitizes to DNA Damaging Therapy In Vitro

Introduction: Gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms are fairly rare tumors with very heterogeneous behavior and molecular characteristics. Their generally slow proliferation render them virtually resistant to many DNA damaging therapeutic approaches. Bortezomib has been shown to be effective in GEP-NENs in vitro but has been withdrawn from clinical assessment due to a small phase II study on bortezomib monotherapy in 2004.

#1172 Dual Inhibition of PI3K and mTORC1/C2 by PKI-587 (PF-05212384) as a Promising Therapeutic Option for Gastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumor Disease and Its Effect on AKT-Signaling

Introduction: Gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (GEP-NEN) are heterogeneous in their clinical behavior and therapeutic options are still not satisfactory. The “crosstalk” of different signaling pathways in NEN cells appears to be more complex as known already. PKI-587 is a highly potent novel dual inhibitor of PI3K and mTORC1/C2.

#1003 Signalling Pathways in Bronchial Neuroendocrine Tumor Disease and Its Translation to Innovative Targets: The New Kid on the Block

Introduction: Bronchial neuroendocrine neoplasias comprise a wide spectrum of well-differentiated tumors (typical/atypical carcinoids) to undifferentiated carcinomas such as small (SCLC) and large cell (LC) neuroendocrine carcinomas with a fatal prognosis. Therapeutic options are unsatisfactory.

#1001 Forkheadbox Proteins as Novel Drug Targets in Gastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumor Disease: Inhibition of FoxM1 Exerts Antiproliferative Effects in GEP-NEN Cell Lines

Introduction: Forkheadbox proteins (Fox proteins) are transcriptions factors. They are highly conserved key players in a large number of cellular processes. Fox proteins have been described as acting as both tumor suppressors and oncogenes. Most notably, they operate in the context of the majority of cancer-related pathways. Information about the fuunction of these proteins in gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasias is scant.
