Exploring the key molecular mechanisms and immune microenvironment of oxidative stress-related pathways in pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor combining scRNA-seq and bulk RNA
Through integrated multi-omics analysis, we established that oxidative stress pathways may drive pNET progression through a coordinated mechanism involving metabolic reprogramming (via BCL2L1 and PHGDH downregulation), immune microenvironment remodeling (through altered dendritic cell and NK cell function), and complex regulatory networks. BCL2L1 and PHGDH represent potential diagnostic biomarkers and candidate therapeutic targets that require experimental validation, providing new directions for precision medicine in pNET.
