RESUMEN
Propósito La somatostatina es una hormona peptídica gastrointestinal que inhibe el crecimiento delcáncer pancreático, como atestigua un número creciente de informes. Sin embargo, no siempre es así. Conobjeto de aclarar la controversia planeamos la identificación de somatostatina durante el desarrollo del tejidopancreático embrionario humano y en el adenocarcinoma pancreático, considerando que las células quecontienen somatostaina existen tanto en el epitelio ductal pancreático primitivo como en el carcinomapancreático.•

Métodos:

Muestras de tejido de páncreas fetal (n=15) y de adenocarcinoma pancreático ductal (n=15) sevaloraron analizando la expresión de somatostatina por métodos inmunohistoquímicos.•

Resultados:

El epitelio ductal exocrino primitivo normal y el epitelio endocrino mostraron un aumentoclaramente significativo de la expresión de somatostatina cuando se compararon con la cantidad existente enlos tejidos pancreático mixto, ductal-endocrino y de tipo ductal puro (p1=0,021, p2=0,001, p3<0,0001 yp4=0,003, respectivamente) durante la 5ª a la 10ª semanas. No se encontró una diferencia estadísticamentesignificativa de la expresión de somatostatina entre el tejido acinar que rodea a los islotes y los tejidos mixto(p5=0,16) y ductal puro (p6=0,65) entre la 13ª y la 24ª semanas.•

Conclusiones:

Las células del cáncer pancreático pueden expresar somatostatina siguiendo un modeloque reproduce la expresión normal del péptido en las células δ del páncreas durante la organogénesisembrionaria. Una nueva opción potencialmente adyuvante de la terapéutica del cáncer pancreático se debedirigir hacia la somatostatina y sus análogos
ABSTRACT

Purpose:

Somatostatin is a gastrointestinal peptide hormone that inhibits growth of pancreatic cancer as reported by an increasing body of evidence. Yet this is not always the case. To clarify the controversy we aimed to identify the expression of somatostatin in developing human embryonic pancreatic tissue and pancreatic adenocarcinoma given that somatostatin positive cells were shown either into primitive pancreatic ductal epithelium or into pancreatic carcinoma. •

Methods:

Tissue sections representing pancreatic fetal specimens (n=15) and ductal pancreatic adenocarcinoma specimens (n=15) were assessed using immunohistochemical methods for somatostatin expression. •

Results:

Normal primitive exocrine ductal epithelium and endocrine epithelium showed a definite, statistically significant, higher expression of somatostatin over neoplastic pancreatic tissue of mixed (ductalendocrine) and pure ductal type (p1=0.021, p2=0.001, p3<0.0001, and p4=0.003 respectively) during the 8th to the 10th week. No statistically significant differential expression of somatostatin in the mantle zone of the islets over neoplastic tissue of mixed (p5=0.16) and pure ductal type (p6=0.65), from the 13th to the 24th week was demonstrated. •

Conclusion:

Pancreatic cancer cells can express somatostatin in a model that reproduces the normal expression of the peptide by δ-cells during embryonal organogenesis. Therapy aimed at pancreatic cancer must be targeted to somatostatin and analogues as potential adjuvant novel option
