#4423 Exploring decorin in plasma-derived small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) as a potential diagnostic biomarker for pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours

Introduction: Pancreatic Neuroendocrine tumours (PanNETs), the most common site for GEP‑NENs in Asian countries, particularly India, have shown increasing incidence. Due to a lack of specific biomarkers, often detected at advanced stages. So, this study utilised PanNET tissue proteomics for cancer biomarker discovery and explored the impact of small extracellular cellular vesicles (sEVs) in PanNET growth and metastasis, as they reflect the molecular profile of their tissue of origin.

#4139 Characterisation of new biomarkers from patients with neuroendocrine cancer using liquid biopsy methods

Introduction: Neuroendocrine tumors originate from neuroendocrine cells. Clinicians diagnose and track these tumors not only but also by analysing patients' blood for biomarkers. Including liquid biopsy in early detection and monitoring can improve patient outcomes.

#4056 High expression of ADAM15 in non-functional pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors is associated with high-density tumor-infiltrating neutrophils and predicts poor outcome

Introduction: Non-functional pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (NF-PanNETs) displayed heterogeneous prognoses. Copy number variations (CNVs) of ADAM15 significantly increased in patients who underwent postoperative early recurrence. ADAM15 (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase 15) has been identified as a key molecule in progression and metastasis of many tumors, regulating immune infiltration. However, correlation between ADAM15 and NF-PanNETs remains unknown.

#3974 Small extracellular vesicles miR-183-5p derived from highly invasive pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors reprogram macrophages towards SPP1+ macrophages

Introduction: Highly-metastatic (HM) pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs) are characterized by an early occurrence of lymph node and liver metastases and a poor prognosis. Single-cell sequencing analysis showed that HM pNETs had remarkable infiltration of SPP1+ macrophages, which were involved in cell migration, angiogenesis and small extracellular vesicles (sEVs).

#3934 The stromal microenvironment endows pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors with spatially specific invasive and metastatic phenotypes

Introduction: Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) play an important role in a variety of cancers. However, the heterogeneity of CAFs is poorly understood in non-functional pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (NF-PanNETs). Profiling the heterogeneity of CAFs might reveal the causes of malignant phenotypes in NF-PanNETs.
