Marked expansion of exocrine and endocrine pancreas with incretin therapy in humans with increased exocrine pancreas dysplasia and the potential for glucagon-producing neuroendocrine tumors.
    Diabetes, 2013, Volume: 62, Issue:7

    Controversy exists regarding the potential regenerative influences of incretin therapy on pancreatic β-cells versus possible adverse pancreatic proliferative effects. Examination of pancreata from age-matched organ donors with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) treated by incretin therapy (n = 8) or other therapy (n = 12) and nondiabetic control subjects (n = 14) reveals an ∼40% increased pancreatic mass in DM treated with incretin therapy, with both increased exocrine cell proliferation (P < 0.0001) and dysplasia (increased pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia, P < 0.01). Pancreata in DM treated with incretin therapy were notable for α-cell hyperplasia and glucagon-expressing microadenomas (3 of 8) and a neuroendocrine tumor. β-Cell mass was reduced by ∼60% in those with DM, yet a sixfold increase was observed in incretin-treated subjects, although DM persisted. Endocrine cells costaining for insulin and glucagon were increased in DM compared with non-DM control subjects (P < 0.05) and markedly further increased by incretin therapy (P < 0.05). In conclusion, incretin therapy in humans resulted in a marked expansion of the exocrine and endocrine pancreatic compartments, the former being accompanied by increased proliferation and dysplasia and the latter by α-cell hyperplasia with the potential for evolution into neuroendocrine tumors.

An analysis of characteristics of subjects examined for incretin effects on pancreatic pathology.
    Diabetes technology & therapeutics, 2013, Volume: 15, Issue:8

    A recent autopsy analysis asserted that incretin drugs have the potential of increasing the risk for pancreatic cancer and for pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. We examined the Network for Pancreatic Organ Donors with Diabetes (nPOD) database from which that analysis was derived. Our findings raise important questions about the comparability of the two groups of diabetes patients used for the analysis. Our review of the data available on the nPOD Web site and our reading of the earlier article lead us to the conclusion that the data, and the implications of the data, as expressed by the authors of the autopsy analysis are vastly overstated and are a misrepresentation of the information available.
