Research Summary

For many tumor types, neuroendocrine phenotype indicates higher malignancy and worse clinical prognosis. Although the mTOR inhibitors, represented by RAD001(Everolimus), can significantly inhibit the proliferation of neuroendocrine tumor cells in vitro and prolong the progression free survival of the patients in clinical trails, the resistance of the tumor cells induced by the treatment impairs the anti-tumor effects in vivo. Up to now, the resistance mechanism of neuroendoctine tumor cells to mTOR inhibitors has not been fully illustrated. We have previously screened the resistance-related genes based on a new mouse model system for gastric neuroendocrine tumor (CEA424-SV40 T Antigen transgenic mouse model system). A significant up-regulated expression of Prap1 gene, which is the most strongly up-regulated gene identified by the array, was observed in the RAD001 resistant tumor cells both in vitro and in vivo. Preliminary experiment showed that down-regulating Prap1 expression in the RAD001 resistant gastric neuroendocrine tumor cells significantly enhanced the anti-proliferation effect induced by RAD001 treatment. With special emphasis on the molecularly targeted therapy for high grade gastric cancer with a neuroendocrine phenotype, we try to clarify the possible role of Prap1 gene during the process of RAD001 resistance of neuroendocrine tumor cells, to evaluate the prospect of Prap1 as a promising target for anti-resistance strategy, and to proclaim the underlying gene regulating mechanisms involved by this gene to RAD001 resistance induced by long term treatment. We hope our study will provide valuable preclinical experience for the treatment of neuroendocrine tumors and contribute to the establishment of more effective clinical management.
