Blood-based Proteomic Signatures Associated With MEN1-related Duodenopancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumor Progression

J Clin Endocrinol MetabPublished Case-control proteomic study with cross-species comparison in a mouse model

Authors' conclusion

Our integrated analyses identified novel circulating protein markers associated with disease progression in MEN1-related dpNET.

Study context

Population

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

Proteins elevated in MEN1 patients with distant metastasis vs controls, incl. 9 previously associated with pancreatic cancer and other neuronal proteins

187

Proteins associated with disease progression in Men1fl/flPdx1-CreTg mice, enriched for transcriptional targets of oncogenic MYCN, YAP1, POU5F1 and SMAD

196

Proteins positively associated with disease progression in both human patients and Men1fl/flPdx1-CreTg mice

19

Observational data: associations, not effects.
