Angiopoietin-2 Promotes Disease Progression of Neuroendocrine Tumors

Purpose: Inhibition of angiogenesis represents a promising therapeutic strategy in neuroendocrine tumors. Angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2), a ligand of the endothelial tyrosine kinase Tie-2, is emerging as a key regulator of vascular remodeling during tumorangiogenesis. We therefore addressed the expression a...

description Purpose: Inhibition of angiogenesis represents a promising therapeutic strategy in neuroendocrine tumors. Angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2), a ligand of the endothelial tyrosine kinase Tie-2, is emerging as a key regulator of vascular remodeling during tumorangiogenesis. We therefore addressed the expression and biological significance of Ang-2 in human neuroendocrine tumors. Experimental Design: Surgical specimens and serum from neuroendocrine tumor patients were used to determine Ang-2 expression by in situ hybridization or ELISA (circulating Ang-2). Ang-2 biological effects were evaluated following stable transfection into BON human pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor cells. BON clones were grown as orthotopic xenografts in nude mice to determine tumor growth and abdominal metastatic spread. Further analyses included microvessel density, lymphatic vessel density, and nodal invasion. Results: Specimens from pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors and nontransformed pancreatic tissue revealed uniform expression of Ang-2 mRNA in endothelial cells. In contrast, epithelial expression of Ang-2 mRNA occurred exclusively in neuroendocrine tumors. Overexpression of Ang-2 in BON orthotopic xenografts did not affect primary tumor growth, although successful Ang-2 induction was confirmed from elevated serum levels. However, increased microvessel density and enhanced lymphatic metastasis were evident in Ang-2–expressing tumors, indicating a functional role of Ang-2 in experimental neuroendocrine tumors. Consistent with this notion, circulating Ang-2 was significantly elevated in neuroendocrine tumor patients compared with healthy controls. Circulating Ang-2 furthermore correlated with metastatic versus localized disease. The highest Ang-2 concentrations occurred in patients with liver metastasis, and concentrations ≥75th percentile predicted shorter survival ( P = 0.0003). Conclusion: Induction of Ang-2 in neuroendocrine tumors represents a clinically relevant pathomechanism of disease progression and constitutes an adverse prognostic marker. Clin Cancer Res; 16(2); 420–9.
