摘要

Radiolabeled glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP- 1) analog scintigraphy is a new, high-sensitivity imaging method for detecting small insulinomas. Somatostatin receptor scintigraphy (SRS) is an established method for detecting gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. However, small benign insulinomas are difficult to detect using SRS. Furthermore, GLP- 1 receptor (GLP- 1R) expression and SRS results may be inversely correlated. We identified 689 neuroendocrine neoplasms, including pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PanNETs) and neuroendocrine neoplasms originating from non-pancreatic sites, and performed GLP- 1R immunostaining. Among the non-insulinoma PanNETs, immunohistochemical insulin or proinsulin positive cases were categorized as Inspos, and both negative cases as Insneg. High prevalence of GLP- 1R expression was detected in PanNETs and duodenal NETs (34% and 53%, respectively). Some pulmonary NETs were GLP- 1R positive (9%). In contrast, neither GI-NEC excluding one case nor pulmonary NEC exhibited GLP- 1R expression. The percentage of GLP- 1R positive cases for Inspos, Insneg, and insulinoma was 31%, 0%, and 84%, respectively. Among PanNETs, GLP- 1R positive cases showed higher expression of insulin and proinsulin than negative cases. SRS-positive patients showed lower expression levels of insulin, proinsulin, and GLP- 1R than SRS-negative patients. The expression in PanNETs and duodenal NETs may be derived from the expression in their normal counterparts. Insulinoma and Inspos cases showed GLP- 1R expression. Furthermore, as GLP- 1R-positive patients showed significantly higher expression of insulin and proinsulin than GLP- 1R negative patients, GLP- 1R may also be associated with neoplastic insulin production and GLP- 1 analog scintigraphy may detect subclinical insulinomas. In addition, SRS-negative cases showed significantly higher GLP- 1R expression than SRS-positive cases. These results suggest the application potential of GLP- 1 analog scintigraphy in combination with SRS as a detection tool.
