Transcriptional Profiling Reveals the Regulatory Role of DNER in Promoting Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Neoplasms.

ABSTRACT: Wnt/β-catenin and NOTCH signaling contribute to the pathogenesis and growth of (PanNENs). The wnt and Notch signaling pathways form an integrated signaling device termed "wntch" and regulate stochastic cell fate decisions, suggesting the essentiality of Wnt/Notch interactions in disease progression. However, the function of Wnt/Notch interactions in PanNENs is unclear. We analyzed RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) data to identify differentially expressed lncRNAs, mRNAs and pathways according to enriched Gene Ontology (GO) terms and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways associated with PanNENs. RNA-seq analysis revealed that the levels of the lncRNA XLOC_221242 and the mRNA encoding Delta/Notch-like epidermal growth factor (EGF)-related receptor (DNER) were significantly increased
