#1638 3D Primary Cell Culture: A New Promising Preclinical Model for Pancreatic Neuro-Endocrine Tumors (pNETs).

Introduction: The lack of adequate in vitro and in vivo preclinical models has hampered the identification of novel treatment options and the development of personalized therapy selection for pNET patients.

#1312 Epigenetic Remodeling upon DAXX and ATRX Loss in Pancreatic Neuro-endocrine tumors (pNETs)

Introduction: DAXX and or ATRX loss occur in 40% of sporadic pNETs. DAXX and ATRX participate in the cell epigenetic status maintenance. Epigenetic changes influence gene expression, function of telomeres and genomic stability. We hypothesize that DAXX/ATRX loss drives tumor progression in pNET through epigenetic changes affecting genomic stability.
