- Lu-177-octreotate is an FDA-approved radionuclide therapy for patients with gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) expressing somatostatin receptors. The Lu-177-octreotate therapy has shown promising results in clinical trials by prolonging progression-free survival, but complete responses are still uncommon. The aim of this study was to improve the Lu-177-octreotate therapy by means of combination therapy. To identify radiosensitising inhibitors, two cell lines, GOT1 and P-STS, derived from small intestinal neuroendocrine tumours (SINETs), were screened with 1224 inhibitors alone or in combination with external radiation. The screening revealed that inhibitors of Hsp90 can potentiate the tumour cell-killing effect of radiation in a synergistic fashion (GOT1; false discovery rate < 3.2 x 10(-11)). The potential for Hsp90 inhibitor ganetespib to enhance the anti-tumour effect of Lu-177-octreotate in an in vivo setting was studied in the somatostatin receptor-expressing GOT1 xenograft model. The combination led to a larger decrease in tumour volume relative to monotherapies and the tumour-reducing effect was shown to be synergistic. Using patient-derived tumour cells from eight metastatic SINETs, we could show that ganetespib enhanced the effect of Lu-177-octreotate therapy for all investigated patient tumours. Levels of Hsp90 protein expression were evaluated in 767 SINETs from 379 patients. We found that Hsp90 expression was upregulated in tumour cells relative to tumour stroma in the vast majority of SINETs. We conclude that Hsp90 inhibitors enhance the tumour-killing effect of Lu-177-octreotate therapy synergistically in SINET tumour models and suggest that this potentially promising combination should be further evaluated.

- 111In-radiolabelled (DTPA-D-Phe1)-octreotide scintigraphy can be used to localize neuroendocrine tumours expressing somatostatin receptors (SSTRs). The aim of this paper was to analyse the importance of tumour volume and growth for the visualization by SSTR scintigraphy of metastases from medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC).

- Indium-111 activity concentrations in human tumor and normal tissue samples were determined at 24, 48 and 120 hr after i.v. injection of 111In-DTPA-D-Phe-1-octreotide. Fourteen patients were included in the study. Seven patients had medullary thyroid carcinoma, four had midgut carcinoid tumors, two had endocrine pancreatic tumors and one had chronic pancreatitis.

- After injection of 111In-labelled DTPA-D-Phe1-octreotide, intraoperative tumour localisation was performed using a scintillation detector in 23 patients with neuroendocrine tumours. Count rates from suspect tumour lesions and adjacent normal tissue were expressed as a ratio before (Rin situ) and after (Rex vivo) excision. 111In activity concentration ratios of tumour tissue to blood (T/B) were determined in a gamma counter. In patients with midgut carcinoids, (all scintigraphy positive), false Rin situ recordings were found in 4/29 macroscopically identified tumours. T/B ratios were all high (27-650). In patients with medullary thyroid carcinomas (eight out of ten scintigraphy positive), misleading Rin situ results were found in 4/37 macroscopically identified tumours. T/B ratios were lower (3-39) than those seen in midgut carcinoids. Two out of four patients with endocrine pancreatic tumours had positive scintigraphy, reliable intraoperative measurements and very high T/B ratios (910-1500). One patient with a gastric carcinoid had correct measurements in situ and ex vivo with high T/B ratios (71-210). In situ measurements added little information to preoperative scintigraphy and surgical findings using the present detection system. Rex vivo measurements were more reliable. The very high T/B ratios seen in midgut carcinoids and some endocrine pancreatic tumours would be favourable for future radiation therapy via somatostatin receptors.

- Tissue parameters derived from multiparametric MRI were evaluated as potential imaging biomarkers for therapy response assessment in mice with human neuroendocrine tumor treated with 177Lu-octreotate. Animals were imaged before and repeatedly after 177Lu-octreotate treatment, using T2w, IVIM-DWI, DCE-MRI, T1- and T2*-mapping techniques. MR-parameters were evaluated regionally and longitudinally, and quantitative proteomics was used to evaluate underlying biological response in central and peripheral tumor separately. Several MR-parameters showed strong correlation with tumor response, as verified by MRI-based tumor volume measurements, but also with proteins associated with radiobiological effects on tumor tissue. Spatial and temporal evaluation increased sensitivity of the methods.

- Introduction: Neuroendocrine (NE) tumors expressing somatostatin receptors (SSTR) are often treated with 177Lu-octreotate. The treatment is highly successful in animal models, but low cure rates in clinical studies suggests optimization of treatment protocol is needed. Little is known about which cellular responses play a crucial role in neuroendocrine tumors after irradiation. It is therefore important to identify the effects of 177Lu-octreotate on biological functions for future optimization of treatment parameters and the identification of biomarkers predicting treatment response. The aim of this study was to investigate the transcriptional response of GOT1 midgut carcinoid in nude mice following 177Lu-octreotate treatment. Methods: GOT1 bearing BALB/c nude mice were i.v. injected with 15 MBq 177Lu-octreotate and tumor size was measured twice a week using calipers. Animals were killed after 1, 3, 7 or 41 days and tumor samples excised and snap frozen in liquid nitrogen. Total RNA was extracted from tumor samples and subjected to Illumina microarray expression analysis. Differential transcriptional profiles were identified by comparing treated and untreated tumor samples using Nexus Expression 3.0 software. Associated biological functions and biological pathways (according to Gene Ontology terms) were compared using Nexus Expression 3.0 and Ingenuity IPA. Results: The mean tumor volume was clearly reduced after 177Lu-octreotate treatment. Microarray analysis showed clear difference in regulation pattern between the time points. The analysis of associated biological functions revealed clear effect on cell death and survival, and cell cycle after 1, 3, and 7 days, while cellular movement and cellular development were clearly influenced after 41 days. Cellular growth and proliferation was also affected after 1 day but not at the other time points studied. Conclusions: : Analysis of the transcriptional regulation in GOT1 tumors in nude mice following 177Lu-octreotate treatment revealed responses in different cellular functions that were distinct for each time point. These findings indicate potential venues for increasing clinical effectiveness of midgut carcinoid therapy with 177Lu-octreotate.

- Several types of neuroendocrine tumor express high numbers of somatostatin receptors (sstr). We have compared the expression of sstr subtypes with the outcome of octreotide scintigraphy in patients with carcinoids and medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) in comparison with Hürthle cell tumors. The effect of sstr activation (octreotide treatment) on tumor markers was also studied in patients with disseminated carcinoid tumors. Six patients with carcinoid tumors (four midgut and two foregut), and three patients with thyroid tumors (one MTC, one Hürthle cell carcinoma, and one Hürthle cell adenoma) were studied. Octreotide scintigraphy visualized tumor sites in all nine patients. Macroscopic tumor was verified at these sites at subsequent surgical exploration. Using Northern blotting and subtype-specific riboprobes, sstr could be detected in all tumors examined. All five sstr subtypes were detected in most of the carcinoid tumors. All six carcinoids expressed sstr2. This was in contrast to the findings for the thyroid tumors analyzed, which also expressed several sstr subtypes but in some cases lacked expression of sstr2. This was also the case for normal thyroid tissue. Clinically, octreotide treatment of the patients with midgut carcinoid tumors resulted in palliation of hormonal symptoms accompanied by a significant reduction of urinary 5-HIAA levels (28-71%). These results indicate that carcinoid tumors frequently express all five sstr subtypes. The thyroid tumors also expressed multiple sstr but could lack expression of sstr2. Nevertheless, these tumors were visualized by octreotide scintigraphy, indicating that sstr2 expression is not a prerequisite for tumor imaging.
