#4556 Optimising the establishment of patient-derived models for neuroendocrine neoplasms

Introduction: Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) are clinically and molecularly diverse, with limited understanding of their tumour biology. Efforts to develop patient-derived models have been unsuccessful, highlighting an urgent need for accurate models to support fundamental research.

#4534 Development of new 3D in vitro models for pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (PanNETs)

Introduction: Current PanNET in vitro models struggle to accurately replicate the tumour’s biology and microenvironment, limiting understanding of the mechanisms underlying PanNET behaviour and drugs response.

#4415 MGMT-activated DUB3 stabilises Nrf2/NCOA4 to modulate apoptosis and ferroptosis, driving temozolomide resistance in pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours

Introduction: O6-methylguanine DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) is a key DNA repair enzyme that removes methyl groups from O(6)-alkylguanine in DNA, introduced by temozolomide (TMZ). Clinical studies in pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (PanNETs) have confirmed its role in TMZ efficacy.

#4316 Combination of sorafenib and everolimus regresses pancreatic neuroendocrine tumour significantly in vitro and vivo

Introduction: PNET is a rare group of highly heterogeneous tumours with neuroendocrine differentiation properties. Everolimus is the most promising drug for progressive well-differentiated pNETs. Sorafenib's anti-tumour activity may involve regulation of the mTOR pathway.

#4304 Co-targeting the Endocannabinoid System (ES) and mTOR in NEN potentiates their anti-tumour effect via unique metabolic changes

Introduction: The current treatment of neuroendocrine neoplasms (NEN) has limited efficacy, highlighting the need for novel therapeutic approaches. We have previously shown the potential therapeutic benefit when combining ES blocking with Everolimus (Eve).
