  • Potential prognostic markers and candidate genetic drivers in small intestine neuroendocrine tumours
  • Other publication (other academic/artistic)abstract
    • BackgroundSmall intestinal neuroendocrine tumours (SI-NETs) are the most common tumour of the small intestine. The disease often has a favourable outcome with long survival even in the context of metastatic disease. However, some patients fare worse and succumb to the disease soon after diagnosis despite similar stage and grade. Molecular prognostic markers are lacking. The most common genetic aberration is loss of chromosome 18q, although the oncogenic mechanism of this is unknown. The only recurrently mutated gene is CDKN1B, which is mutated in 9% of cases.AimsTo identify molecular derangements in SI-NETs and identify potential prognostic markers.MethodsForty tumour samples from thirty patients with unusually long or unusually short survival after diagnosis were subjected to whole genome sequencing. Twenty of the samples were also included for RNA Sequencing.ResultsIn addition to mutations in CDKN1B we find rare variants in known cancer genes including NF1, MAX and SPEN. Unsupervised clustering based on gene expression resulted in two clusters with prognostic significance. We identify potential prognostic markers based on gene expression. Finally, we identify genes whose expression is affected by the most common copy number variations in these tumours, including SOCS6 on chromosome 18 and ATM on chromosome 11.

  • Ex vivo activity of cytotoxic drugs and targeted agents in Small Intestinal NETs
  • Other publication (other academic/artistic)abstract
    • Introduction: Small Intestinal Neuroendocrine Tumours (SI-NET) are considered to be generally resistant to systemic treatment. To date predictive markers for drug activity are lacking.Patients and Methods: Tumour samples from 27 patients with SI-NET were analyzed ex vivo for sensitivity to a panel of cytotoxic drugs and targeted agents using a short-term total cell kill assay. Samples of renal cancer, colorectal cancer (CRC), ovarian cancer, and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) were included for comparison. For the SI-NET subset, drug sensitivity was analyzed in relation to clinico-pathological variables and pre-treatment biomarkers.Results: For standard cytotoxic drugs, SI-NETs demonstrated similar or higher sensitivity to 5-FU, platinums, gemcitabine and doxorubicin compared with CRC. For targeted kinase inhibitors, SI-NET was among the most sensitive diagnoses. CLL and ovarian cancer were generally the most sensitive diagnoses to both cytotoxic drugs and protein kinase inhibitors. The mTOR inhibitor sirolimus exhibited modest cytotoxic activity.Individual SI-NET samples demonstrated great variability in ex vivo sensitivity for most drugs. Cross-resistance between different drugs also varied considerably, being higher among protein kinase inhibitors.Age, stage, grade, peritoneal carcinomatosis and extra-abdominal metastases as well as serum chromogranin A and urine 5-HIAA concentrations at diagnosis did not correlate to drug sensitivity ex vivo.Conclusions: SI-NETs exhibit variable but generally intermediate sensitivity ex vivo to cytotoxic and targeted drugs. Clinico-pathological factors and currently used biomarkers were not clearly associated to ex vivo sensitivity, challenging these criteria for treatment decisions in SI-NETs. The great variability in drug sensitivity calls for individualized selection of therapy.
