Genetic Drivers of Ileal Neuroendocrine Tumors

Abstract: The genetic causes of ileal neuroendocrine tumors (ileal NETs, or I-NETs) have been a mystery. For most types of tumors, key genes were revealed by large scale genomic sequencing that demonstrated recurrent mutations of specific oncogenes or tumor suppressors. In contrast, genomic sequencing of ileal NETs demonstrated a distinct lack of recurrently mutated genes, suggesting that the mechanisms that drive the formation of I-NETs may be quite different than the cell-intrinsic mutations that drive the formation o… Show more

“…In the present study SSTR2 expression was high in all tumors. Although this animal model has some limitations when it comes to experimental planning, we preferred to make the present study in the GOT1 model, since it is the only transplantable human NET cell line with retained SSTR expression and neuroendocrine properties that is known to us 13 , 14 , 43 . This choice, however, limited the number of animals that could be included in the study, together with problems to receive the radiopharmaceutical for preclinical research at the time of experiment.…”

“…Alternatively, this phenomenon may be explained by lack of chromogranin A expression during mitoses. The tumour cells in NETs are phenotypically very similar to the normal NE cell of origin, which probably reflects the low mutation rate in these tumours [27,28]. In contrast to other epithelial cells, normal NE cells do not adhere to each other, possibly due to reduced expression of adherence molecules.…”

“…A probable explanation for the non-responding mouse in the present study could be a difference in SSTR expression in the tumor in that individual mouse, a fact that was also demonstrated by the immunohistochemical analyses. The GOT1 tumor model is unique, since it is probably the only small-intestinal NET cell line that could be transplanted to nude mice with preserved neuroendocrine features and receptor expression [ 34 , 39 , 40 ]. Since GOT1 cell proliferation is slow, most GOT1 animal studies are performed in the model based on serial transplantation of small tissue pieces from one tumor to several younger mice, which was the case in the present study.…”
