- Radionuclide therapy using the somatostatin analog 177Lu-octreotate is promising for treatment of malignant neuroendocrine tumors, e.g. carcinoids and endocrine pancreatic tumors, with high expression of somatostatin receptors. Little is known about molecular mechanisms after irradiation of neuroendocrine tumors. The aim of this study was to investigate the regulation of gene expression in the human midgut carcinoma cell line GOT1. Female GOT1 bearing BALB/c nude mice were intravenously injected with 7 MBq 177Lu-octreotate. After 24 hours, all animals were sacrificed and tumors were excised. Radioactivity measurements were performed on the tumor tissues and absorbed doses were determined to about 2 Gy. Total RNA was extracted from the tumors and processed using Illumina MouseRef-8 Whole-Genome Expression Beadchips. Nexus Expression 2.0 was used for data analysis of both regulated genes and biological processes. The data was compared with that of a control group receiving only NaCl solution intravenously. Analysis revealed a strong up-regulation of four genes after irradiation, compared to controls. These genes were identified and classified using Gene Ontology terms. Two of the genes (CXCL9, encoding a cytokine and the SERPINA3, encoding a serpin peptidase inhibitor) were found to be associated with e.g. immune and inflammatory response, while the other two (ACTA1, encoding actin and MYL1, encoding myosin light chain 1/3) were associated with e.g. muscle contraction. ACTA1 was also found to be associated to cell growth. These preliminary results show that 177Lu-octreotate caused a significant impact on gene expression of a few genes in GOT1 tumors, especially on genes associated with immune response. These interesting results show that the effects of 177Lu-octreotate on tumor tissue needs to be studied further and studies on absorbed dose- and time relationships are ongoing.
