#2905 DNA Methyltransferase Inhibitor Hydralazine Induces Upregulation of Somatostatin Type 2 Receptors in Human Neuroendocrine Tumor Cells

Introduction: Epidrugs like DNA methyltransferase inhibitors (DNMTi) can increase somatostatin receptor type 2 (SST2) expression in neuroendocrine tumor (NET) cells in vitro and in vivo. This effect could be used for NET patients with low SST2 expression who are currently ineligible for somatostatin analogue (SSA) treatment. However, the DNMTi known to stimulate SST2 have either a high toxicity profile or are not yet approved.

#1097 Epigenetic Manipulation of the Somatostatin Receptor Type 2 in Neuroendocrine Tumor Cells

Introduction: The somatostatin receptor type 2 (sst2) is a target for treatment in patients with neuroendocrine tumors (NET). However, variability in tumoral sst2 expression might lead to variability in response. Epidrugs could increase sst2 levels and improve response to somatostatin analogues (SSA).
