#3047 Functional Consequence of β-Arrestin 1 Gene Knock-Out in Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumor Cell Line BON-1

Introduction: An important limiting factor influencing treatment efficacy of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) with somatostatin analogs (SSA) is the availability of somatostatin receptors (SSTR) on NETs. While downregulation or altered pattern of SSTR expression are important considerations, receptor internalization/desensitization by β-arrestins may be a crucial contributing factor. Interestingly, our previous study showed a preferential higher expression of β-arrestin 1 (ARRB1), in gastroenteropancreatic NETS (GEP-NETs) compared to pituitary adenomas.

#2283 Ultra-Deep Targeted Resequencing Reveals Recurrent DAXX and CYFIP2 Mutations and Implicates Novel Pathways in Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors

Introduction: Recent studies in pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors have identified mutations in DAXX/ATRX, MEN1, and genes involved in the phosphoinositide-3-kinase/Akt/mammalian target of rapamycin (PI3K-Akt-mTOR) pathway. However, these studies focused on abundant mutations.

#1854 VHL Genotype Is Associated with Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors (PNETs) Phenotype in Patients with Von Hippel-Lindau Disease (VHLD)

Introduction: 8-20% of patients with VHLD develop PNETs. However, there are no markers for PNETs progression in VHLD patients. The type of mutation in VHL gene is associated with clinical phenotype of VHLD.

#1723 Evaluation of the Somatostatin and CXCR4 Chemokine Receptor Expression in Gastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Neoplasms (GEP-NEN) of Different Origin

Introduction: Somatostatin receptors (SSTR) are known for their overexpression in well-differentiated GEP-NEN, whereas the chemokine receptor CXCR4 is considered to be present mainly in highly proliferative and advanced tumors.

#1347 Evaluation of the Somatostatin, CXCR4 Chemokine and Endothelin A Receptor Expression in a Large Series of Paragangliomas

Introduction: Paragangliomas are predominantly benign tumors, but in some cases invasive growth and also metastasis is observed. Given the limited number of nonsurgical treatment options, novel target structures for diagnostics and therapy of this tumor entity are urgently needed.
