#4629 Identification of putative master regulators in pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours using gene expression data and network inference

Introduction: Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (pNETs) are a heterogenous group of pancreatic malignancies with a unique biology and pathophysiology. Tumour grade and extension are commonly used for prognostic determination. Current pathologic grading system needs regular updates to refine prognostic classification. Genomic screening may provide more objective classes and reflect tumour biology.

#3886 Large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma subtyping based on NEUROD1, ASCL1, POU2F3 and YAP1 expression

Introduction: Large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) accounts for 1-3% of all types of lung cancer and is, similar to small-cell lung cancer (SCLC), a high-grade tumor with poor prognosis. pRb can also be used to subclassify LCNEC into SCLC-like and NSCLC-like. SCLC can be classified in 4 transcriptomic subtypes (NEUROD1high, ASCL1high, POU2F3high, YAP1high), which may have therapeutic implications. It is unclear whether these subtypes are also found in LCNEC and if they correlate with pRb expression.

#2980 Metabolic Dysregulation and Circadian Clock in Cellular Models of Neuroendocrine Tumors

Introduction: The circadian clock genes encode transcription factors whose interaction with nuclear receptors allows the regulation of cellular metabolism.The invalidation of the genes of the clock core is associated with the development of many endocrine diseases including neuroendocrine cancer. Recently, the family of transcriptional coactivators PGC-1a has been identified as a key element in the integration of cellular metabolic state with the circadian clock. PRC, as a member of the PGC-1 family, was able to interact with several transcription factors, including the CLOCK factor. The specific induction of this PRC factor by the cell cycle, to modulate the energy function, the MAPkinase pathway and the expression of microRNAs, makes it a key factor in the metabolic adaptation of cancer cells.

#2902 DNA Methylation Analysis of the PDX1 Gene Can Be Used for PNET Subtyping and Has a Possible Prognostic Value

Introduction: Estimating prognosis of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (PNET) patients remains challenging. Mutation status of DAXX/ATRX/MEN1, histone modification patterns and immunohistochemistry for relevant transcription factors, including PDX1, were recently used to perform subtyping and distinguished two main types, A and B. These subtypes are linked to cell-of-origin and associated with clinical outcome.

#1573 Regulation of Neuroendocrine Differentiation by Growth Factor Induced Proliferation in a Well-differentiated Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumor Cell Line

Introduction: The regulation of neuroendocrine differentiation in NET tumor cells is poorly understood. Clinical experience suggests a correlation between proliferation and neuroendocrine de-differentiation.
