ABSTRACT
CONTEXT Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs) exhibit a wide range of behavior from localized disease to aggressive metastasis. A comprehensive transcriptomic profile capable of differentiating between these phenotypes remains elusive. OBJECTIVE:
Use machine learning to develop predictive models of PNET metastatic potential dependent upon transcriptomic signature.METHODS:
RNA-sequencing data were analyzed from 95 surgically-resected primary PNETs in an international cohort. Two cohorts were generated with equally balanced metastatic PNET composition. Machine learning was used to create predictive models distinguishing between localized and metastatic tumors. Models were validated on an independent cohort of 29 formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded samples using NanoString nCounter®, a clinically-available mRNA quantification platform.RESULTS:
Gene expression analysis identified concordant differentially expressed genes between the two cohorts. Gene set enrichment analysis identified additional genes that contributed to enriched biologic pathways in metastatic PNETs. Expression values for these genes were combined with an additional 7 genes known to contribute to PNET oncogenesis and prognosis, including ARX and PDX1. Eight specific genes (AURKA, CDCA8, CPB2, MYT1L, NDC80, PAPPA2, SFMBT1, ZPLD1) were identified as sufficient to classify the metastatic status with high sensitivity (87.5% - 93.8%) and specificity (78.1% - 96.9%). These models remained predictive of the metastatic phenotype using NanoString nCounter® on the independent validation cohort, achieving a median AUROC of 0.886.CONCLUSIONS:
We identified and validated an eight-gene panel predictive of the metastatic phenotype in PNETs, which can be detected using the clinically-available NanoString nCounter® system. This panel should be studied prospectively to determine its utility in guiding operative versus non-operative management.
