Disease relevance of Gastrinoma

  • Selective intra-arterial methylene blue injection can enhance intraoperative detection of small gastrinomas and may improve the rate of curative resection in the Zollinger-Ellison syndrome [1].
  • It is postulated that the abnormal stimulation of antral gastrin release may on occasions give rise to antral G-cell hyperplasia, and that the abnormal secretion of gastrin into gastric juice may on occasions give rise to gastrinomas [2].
  • The dramatic clinical improvement after subsiding of the intercurrent illness was obviously linked to pronounced failure of the parietal cell mass for acid secretion and not to infarction of the gastrinoma because gastrin secretion by the tumor was unchanged [3].
  • One copy of the MEN1 gene was found to be deleted in 25 of 27 (93%) sporadic gastrinomas and in 6 of 12 (50%) sporadic insulinomas [4].
  • Analysis of CD44 splice variants showed that in all five gastrinomas there was overproduction of alternatively spliced larger molecular variants as compared with other types of endocrine pancreatic tumors and carcinoid tumors [5].
 

High impact information on Gastrinoma

  • Brief report: a duodenal gastrinoma in a patient with diarrhea and normal serum gastrin concentrations [6].
  • It is likely that these lesions precede the development of MEN1-associated duodenal gastrinomas [7].
  • RESULTS: We confirmed the molecular nature of the secretin receptor in the gastrinomas with a positive provocative test result and identified a novel mechanism for a false-negative result [8].
  • The exact identification of this gastrinoma in an extra-abdominal site was facilitated by the use of [111In-DTPA-DPhe1]octreotide scanning for somatostatin receptors, which these tumors characteristically possess in high numbers [9].
  • If a primary gastrinoma cannot be identified by SRS or STIR-MRI, endoscopic ultrasonography should be undertaken because duodenal gastrinomas are often minute and multicentric [10].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Gastrinoma

 

Biological context of Gastrinoma

  • Somatic mutations of the MEN1 tumor suppressor gene in sporadic gastrinomas and insulinomas [4].
  • In the present study HER-2/neu gene amplification and expression was determined in 43 gastrinomas from different patients [14].
  • A heterozygous point mutation in the p53 gene (codon 273) was found in a single sample; none of the gastrinomas contained a mutation of the ras genes [15].
  • Furthermore, because it is independent of disease stage it is probably an early event in the pathogenesis and because it is independent of the primary gastrinoma location, which is now thought to have different origins, methylation of the p16INK4a gene is probably a central process in the molecular pathogenesis of these tumors [16].
  • DNA was extracted from frozen gastrinomas from 51 patients and screened by dideoxyfinger-printing (ddF) for abnormalities in the 9 coding exons and adjacent splice junctions of the MEN1 gene [17].
