Molecular characterization of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor tissue: characterization of altered pathways and potential non-invasive biomarkers

ABSTRACT: The study aimed to identify potential non-invasive biomarkers for pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (PanNETs) through transcriptomic profiling of various tissue samples. The analysis encompassed samples from non-functional PanNETs (NF-PanNETs), insulinomas, and adjacent tumour tissues. In tumor vs. tumors adjacent pancreatic tissues differential expression analysis we identified 1210 differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Further pathway enrichment analysis revealed a multitude of overrepresented signaling pathways related to cell proliferation, survival and tumorigenesis. Notable findings were Beta-catenin independent and TCF dependent WNT signaling pathways, MAPK1/MAPK3 signaling and PIP3 activates AKT signaling. Amongst the list of DEGs we also identified 28 upregulated genes encoding for cell surface proteins and 24 upregulated genes encoding for cancer associated secretome proteins. Since the products of these genes are found in the bloodstream, there is a potential for further testing of these markers as biomarkers for liquid biopsy assay. Overall, the findings have underscored the promise of transcriptomic landscape analysis in identifying PanNET-specific non-invasive biomarkers and uncovering potential therapeutic targets.

Genome-wide methylation profiling of sporadic Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors

Project description:Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PanNETs) account for 1-3% of all neoplasms of the pancreas. Epigenetic changes seem to be the main drivers of PanNET tumorigenesis. Indeed, the most frequent mutated genes in PanNETs are DAXX (Death domain associated protein 6), ATRX (Transcriptional Regulator ATRX) and MEN1 (menin 1), which are all involved in epigenetic regulation. The objective of the project is to study the epigenetic changes undergoing in PanNETs. Specifically, we aimed at investigating whether do exist biologically important epigenetic differences in PanNET, useful for a clinically relevant classification.

Combined deletion of MEN1, ATRX and PTEN triggers pancreatic neuroendocrine tumorigenesis in mice

Project description:Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PanNETs) are a heterogeneous group of tumors that exhibit an unpredictable and broad spectrum of clinical presentations and biological aggressiveness. Surgical resection is still the only curative therapeutic option for localized PanNET but the majority of patients are diagnosed at an advanced and metastatic stage with limited therapeutic options. Key factors limiting the development of new therapeutics are the extensive heterogeneity of PanNETs and the lack of appropriate clinically relevant models. In that context, genomic sequencing of human PanNETs revealed recurrent mutations and structural alterations in several tumor suppressors. Here, we demonstrated that combined loss of MEN1, ATRX, and PTEN, tumor suppressors commonly mutated in human PanNETs, triggers pancreatic neuroendocrine tumorigenesis in mice. Histopathological evaluation and gene expression analyses of the developed tumors confirm the presence of PanNET hallmarks and significant overlap in gene expression patterns found in human disease. Thus, we postulate that the presented novel genetically defined neuroendocrine-specific tumor mouse is the first clinically relevant immunocompetent in vivo PanNET model.

Tumor suppressor functions of DAXX through histone H3.3 deposition pathway in pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor

Project description:Purpose: Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PanNETs) have considerable malignant potential. Frequent somatic mutations and loss of DAXX protein expression have been frequently found in PanNETs. DAXX is known as a transcriptional repressor, however, molecular functions underlying loss of DAXX remain unclear in PanNETs. Experimental Design: We evaluated DAXX-knockdown (KD) and -knockout (KO) PanNET cells were analyzed for in vitro and vivo. The target genes were screened by microarray and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays for DAXX, histone H3.3 and H3K9me3 complex. Results: Microarray and ChIP analyses of DAXX-KD/KO identified 13 genes as the direct targets of DAXX transcriptional repressor. Among them, 5 genes were suppressed by DAXX/H3.3/H3K9me3 pathway. DAXX-KD/KO increased sphere forming activity, but it was suppressed by knockdown of the target gene. In xenograft models, tumorigenicity was significantly increased in DAXX-KO cells with high expression of the target. Clinically, higher recurrence was recognized in PanNETs with low expression of DAXX and high expression of the target than others. Conclusions: DAXX plays as a tumor suppressor and DAXX/H3.3 complex suppresses target genes by promoting H3K9me3 in PanNETs. DAXX and its target molecule might be effective biomarkers and therapeutic candidates.

Deep sequencing of microRNA and total RNA reveals distinct microRNA-mRNA signatures that differentiate pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasia from non-diseased pancreas tissue [RNA-seq]

Project description:Only a limited number of biomarkers guide personalized management of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PanNETs). Transcriptome profiling of microRNA (miRs) and mRNA has shown value in segregating PanNETs and identifying patients more likely to respond to treatment. Because miRs are key regulators of mRNA expression, we sought to integrate expression data from both RNA species into miR-mRNA interaction networks to advance our understanding of PanNET pathogenesis. We used deep miR/mRNA sequencing on six low-grade/high-risk, well-differentiated PanNETs compared with seven non-diseased tissues to identify differentially expressed miRs/mRNAs. Then we crossed a list of differentially expressed mRNAs with a list of in silico predicted mRNA targets of the top upregulated/downregulated miRs to generate high probability miR-mRNA interaction networks. Gene ontology and pathway analyses revealed several miR-mRNA pairs implicated in cellular processes and pathways suggesting perturbed neuroendocrine function (miR-7 and Reg family genes), cell adhesion (miR-216 family and NLGN1, NCAM1, and CNTN1; miR-670 and the claudins, CLDN1 and CLDN2), and metabolic processes (miR-670 and BCAT1/MPST; miR-129 and CTH). These novel miR-mRNA interaction networks identified dysregulated pathways not observed when assessing mRNA alone and provide a foundation for further investigation of their utility as diagnostic and predictive biomarkers.

Transcriptome of human non-functional pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PanNETs)

Project description:The most commonly mutated genes in pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PanNETs) are ATRX, DAXX, and MEN1. Little is known about the cells-of-origin for non-functional neuroendocrine tumors. Here, we genotyped 64 PanNETs for mutations in ATRX, DAXX, and MEN1 and found 37 tumors (58%) carry mutations in these three genes (A-D-M mutant PanNETs) and this correlates with a worse clinical outcome than tumors carrying the wild-type alleles of all three genes (A-D-M WT PanNETs). We performed RNA sequencing and DNA-methylation analysis on 33 randomly selected cases to reveal two distinct subgroups with one group consisting entirely of A-D-M mutant PanNETs. Two biomarkers differentiating A-D-M mutant from A-D-M WT PanNETs were high ARX gene expression and low PDX1 gene expression with PDX1 promoter hyper-methylation in the A-D-M mutant PanNETs. Moreover, A-D-M mutant PanNETs had a gene expression signature related to that of alpha cells (pval < 0.009) of pancreatic islets including increased expression of HNF1A and its transcriptional target genes. This gene expression profile suggests that A-D-M mutant PanNETs originate from or transdifferentiate into a distinct cell type similar to alpha cells.
