Deciphering pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors : Unveiling through circulating small extracellular vesicles

© 2024 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd..

The survival rate over a five-year period for rare pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PanNET) is notably lower compared to other neuroendocrine tumors due to late-stage detection, which is a consequence of the absence of suitable diagnostic markers; therefore, there exists a critical need for an early-stage biomarker-specific to PanNETs. This study introduces a novel approach, investigating the impact of small extracellular vesicles (sEV) in PanNET growth and metastasis. As proof of concept, this study shows a correlation between sEV concentration in controls and PanNET. Notably, higher sEV concentrations were observed in PanNETs than in controls (p < 0.0001) with a sensitivity of 100%. Further, apparent differences were observed in the sEV concentrations between controls and grades 1 PanNET (p = 0.005). The expression of sEV markers was confirmed using CD63, TSG101, CD9, Flotillin-1, and GAD65 antibodies. Additionally, the expression of cancer marker BIRC2/cIAP1 (p = 0.002) and autophagy marker Beclin-1 (p = 0.02) were observed in plasma-derived sEVs and PanNET tissue. This study represents the first to indicate the increased secretion of sEV in PanNET patients' blood plasma, proposing potential function of sEV as a new biomarker for early-stage PanNET detection.
