#4381 TOPK promotes tumorigenesis and metastasis of pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms by enhancing the MAPK signalling pathway

Introduction: T-LAK cell-originated protein kinase (TOPK) is highly expressed in pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (pNENs) with liver metastasis and is associated with a poor prognosis.

#3493 Molecular characterization of the splicing machinery in pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas unveils a marked dysregulation with instructive potential

Introduction: Pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas(PPGL) are rare neuroendocrine neoplasms. Up to 25% will develop distant metastases or aggressive behaviour, but there is a lack of accurate risk markers able to stratify patients according to their potential outcome. Genomic characterization of PPGLs has identified 3 clusters: Pseudohypoxic-profile, MAPK-pathway alteration, and Wnt-pathway dysregulation. Alternative splicing dysregulation is emerging as a novel hallmark of cancer, due to its link to oncogenesis and aggressiveness in different neoplasms, including NENs.

#2980 Metabolic Dysregulation and Circadian Clock in Cellular Models of Neuroendocrine Tumors

Introduction: The circadian clock genes encode transcription factors whose interaction with nuclear receptors allows the regulation of cellular metabolism.The invalidation of the genes of the clock core is associated with the development of many endocrine diseases including neuroendocrine cancer. Recently, the family of transcriptional coactivators PGC-1a has been identified as a key element in the integration of cellular metabolic state with the circadian clock. PRC, as a member of the PGC-1 family, was able to interact with several transcription factors, including the CLOCK factor. The specific induction of this PRC factor by the cell cycle, to modulate the energy function, the MAPkinase pathway and the expression of microRNAs, makes it a key factor in the metabolic adaptation of cancer cells.

#2275 Analysis of Gene Expression Patterns of Rectum Neuroendocrine Tumors (NET) Versus Healthy Tissue Reveals Alterations in the MAPK and WNT Signaling Pathways

Introduction: The neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) of the rectum are rare but increasing in incidence, by means of improved endoscopic techniques and histological reporting. They often occur as small polypoid lesions and G1, and in most cases an incidental finding at endoscopy.
