Kurzfassung:
Glucose metabolism of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) of the pancreas is unclear. S6 ribosomal protein (S6) phosphorylation is involved not only in controlling cell growth but also in glucose metabolism in cancer. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of S6 phosphorylation and the significance of glucose metabolic changes in IPMN. Methods Records of 39 patients who underwent preoperative FDG‐PET and curative resection were enrolled in this study. S6 phosphorylation and GLUT1 expression were evaluated immunohistochemically in these patients. The effect of S6 phosphorylation on glucose uptake was examined in cancer cell lines. To examine the change of glucose metabolism in IPMN clinically, the relation between clinical factors including FDG‐PET and malignancy of IPMN was investigated. Results S6 phosphorylation and GLUT1 expression were significantly higher in carcinoma than in normal cells or adenoma. Cell lines with high level of S6 phosphorylation showed high glucose uptake, and inhibition of S6 phosphorylation reduced glucose uptake. In clinical examination, FDG‐PET was the independent factor related to the diagnosis of adenoma or carcinoma (odds ratio = 20.0, 95% confidence interval = 1.837‐539.9, P = .012). FDG‐PET detected carcinoma with a sensitivity of 81.8%, specificity of 96.4%, and accuracy of 92.3%. Conclusion S6 phosphorylation was associated with glucose uptake and malignancy of IPMN. Moreover, glucose uptake increased in malignant cells of IPMN, and FDG‐PET is useful for detecting malignancy of IPMN.
