Project description:BACKGROUND & AIMS: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is usually incurable. Contrary to genetic mechanisms involved in PDAC pathogenesis, epigenetic alterations are ill defined. Here we determine the contribution of epigenetically silenced genes to the development of PDAC. METHODS: We investigated methylated DNAs from PDACs, chronic pancreatitis and normal pancreatic tissues using Methyl-CpG immunoprecipitation followed by microarray hybridization. Promoter methylation of selected genes was confirmed with the Epityper assay. Expression levels were evaluated by quantitative RT-PCR. WNK2 was further investigated in tissue microarrays, methylation analysis of early pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PanINs), mouse models for PDAC and pancreatitis, re-expression studies after demethylation, and cell growth assays using WNK2 overexpression. RESULTS: A total of 3.8% of 27.800 interrogated CpG islands were hypermethylated in PDAC versus normal and chronic pancreatitis tissues. Hypermethylation was confirmed in 12 out of 13 selected islands and was associated with gene silencing in 4 of them. The most prominently hypermethylated gene, WNK2, was further investigated. Demethylation assays confirmed the link between methylation and expression. WNK2 hypermethylation was higher in pancreatic tumor cells than in surrounding inflamed tissues and was observed in PanIN lesions as well as in a PDAC mouse model. WNK2 mRNA and protein expression were lower in PDAC and chronic pancreatitis compared to normal tissues both in patients and mouse models. Overexpression of WNK2 led to a reduced cell growth and WNK2 expression in tissues correlated negatively with the expression of pERK1/2, a downstream target of WNK2 responsible for cell proliferation. CONCLUSIONS: WNK2 is downregulated by promoter hypermethylation early in PDAC pathogenesis and may support tumor cell growth via the ERK-MAPK pathway. 3 types of pancreatic tissue samples: 5 normals, 2 chronic pancreatitis, 7 tumors (PDAC)

Project description:This study used Illumina strand-specific, paired-end RNA-sequencing to examine gene expression differences between normal and neoplastic mouse pancreatic ductal cells grown as three-dimensional, organoid cultures. The study analyzed 19 independently derived organoid lines. These 19 lines included 7 biological replicate "mN," or mouse normal, organoid lines, derived from the pancreatic ductal cells of wild-type C57Bl/6J or C57Bl/6N mice. In addition, the study analyzed 6 biological replicate "mP," or mouse PanIN, organoid lines, derived from PanIN-containing mouse pancreata from the KrasLSL-G12D; Pdx1-Cre mouse model. (The presence of PanIN in the pancreata from which these organoid lines were derived was confirmed by examining histological sections from the same pancreata). The final 6 lines examined in this study were biological replicate "mT," or mouse tumor, organoid lines, derived from mouse pancreata containing pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) from the KrasLSL-G12D; Trp53LSL-R162H; Pdx1-Cre mouse model. We genes differentially expressed in the PanIN- or tumor-derived mouse organoid lines, relative to the mouse normal organoids, that may reflect expression changes required for pancreatic tumorigenesis.

Project description:Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has the worst prognosis of all common cancers, but divergent outcomes are apparent between patients. To delineate the intertumor heterogeneity that contributes to this, we aimed to identify clinically distinct gene expression-based subgroups. From a cohort of 345 resected pancreatic cancer cases, 90 samples with confirmed diagnosis of PDAC and sufficient tumor content were available for gene expression analysis by RNA sequencing. Unsupervised classification was applied, and a classifier was constructed. Species-specific transcript analysis on matching patient-derived xenografts (PDX, N=14) allowed construction of tumor- and stroma-specific classifiers for use on PDX models and cell lines.

Project description:Aberrant activation of the ERK signaling pathway triggers a protective anticancer response characterized by stable growth arrest and activation of tumor suppressors called cellular senescence. Pancreatic adenocarcinomas (PDAC) often possess mutations in K-Ras that activate the ERK pathway. Pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia of low degree display high levels of phospho-ERK consistent with senescence acting as a barrier for malignant transformation. However, advanced lesions downregulate phospho-ERK levels circumventing the senescence barrier. Restoring ERK hyperactivation in PDAC using an activated allele of the kinase RAF, leads to ERK-dependent growth arrest with senescence biomarkers. Phosphoproteomics analysis of ERK-dependent senescence in PDAC revealed a decrease in several nucleolar phosphoproteins suggesting that high levels of ERK lead to senescence via nucleolar stress. Consistent with this explanation, ERK-dependent senescent cells displayed intranucleolar foci containing RNA polymerase I. Combining ribosome biogenesis inhibitors with ERK hyperactivation reinforced the senescence response of PDAC cells. The drug cocktail FOLFIRINOX, currently the best treatment for PDAC, also triggered ERK hyperactivation and nucleolar stress characterized by nucleolar foci, solid amyloid aggregates and a decrease in 5.8S and 28S rRNAs. We thus suggest that drugs targeting ribosome biogenesis can improve the senescence anticancer response in pancreatic cancer.

Project description:Expression analysis of 36 pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma tumors and matching normal pancreatic tissue samples from pancreatic cancer patients of the Clinical Institute Fundeni (ICF) using Affymetrix U133 Plus 2.0 whole-genome chips. Pairs of normal and tumor tissue samples were obtained at the time of surgery from resected pancreas of 36 pancreatic cancer patients. Gene expression was analyzed on Affymetrix U133 plus 2.0 whole genome microarrays. For three of the 36 normal-tumor sample pairs we carried out replicate microarray hybridizations in order to gauge the technical measurement errors. We thus performed 78 genechip hybridizations in total. A patient sample pair was excluded from further analysis since one of the samples did not meet the quality controls. The microarray data was subsequently normalized using the RMA algorithm.

Project description:GATA6 is a master regulator of differentiation in the pancreas and its expression levels determine the two main molecular subtypes of pancreatic cancer. High GATA6 contributes to the “classical” pancreatic cancer subtype, which is associated with a higher degree of tumor differentiation and better disease prognosis. However, why GATA6 expression varies across pancreatic cancers and what regulate GATA6 expression remain elusive. Here we report that the oncogenic KRAS-activated ERK signaling suppresses GATA6 transcription in pancreatic cancers. GATA6 mRNA levels inversely correlated with KRAS/ERK activity in pancreatic tumors. A genome-wide CRISPR screen in a GATA6-EGFP reporter knockin cell line identified JUNB as the ERK-regulated transcriptional repressor for GATA6. Active ERK stabilizes JUNB protein while KRAS/ERK inhibition led to ubiquitin-independent proteasomal degradation of JUNB and increased transcription of GATA6. Up-regulation of GATA6 enhanced chemosensitivity of pancreatic cancer cells and KRAS/ERK inhibitors synergized with chemotherapy in a GATA6-dependent manner. Our study identifies how oncogenic KRAS/ERK signaling suppresses GATA6 to cause dedifferentiation in pancreatic cancer. Combining KRAS/ERK inhibitors with standard-of-care chemotherapies could be a promising therapeutic strategy for treating pancreatic cancers.

Project description:Pancreatic cancer is an aggressive malignancy, often diagnosed at metastatic stages. Several studies have implicated systemic factors, such as extracellular vesicle release and myeloid cell expansion, in the establishment of pre-metastatic niches in cancer. The Rab27a GTPase is overexpressed in advanced cancers, can regulate vesicle trafficking, and has been previously linked to non-cell autonomous control of tumor growth and metastasis, however, the role of Rab27a itself in the metastatic propensity of pancreatic cancer is not well understood. Here, we have established a model to study how Rab27a directs formation of the pre-metastatic niche. Loss of Rab27a in pancreatic cancer cells did not decrease tumor growth in vivo, but resulted in altered systemic myeloid cell expansion, both in the primary tumors and at the distant organ sites. In metastasis assays, loss of Rab27a expression in tumor cells injected into circulation compromised efficient outgrowth of metastatic lesions. However, Rab27a knockdown cells had an unexpected advantage at initial steps of metastatic seeding, suggesting that Rab27a may alter cell-autonomous invasive properties of the tumor cells. Gene expression analysis of gene expression revealed that downregulation of Rab27a increased expression of genes involved in epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition pathways, consistent with our findings that primary tumors arising from Rab27a knockdown cells were more invasive. Overall, these data reveal that Rab27a can play divergent roles in regulating pro-metastatic propensity of pancreatic cancer cells: by generating pro-metastatic environment at the distant organ sites, and by suppressing invasive properties of the cancer cells.

Project description:Identifying mechanisms underlying tumor growth and immune resistance is needed to treat pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) effectively. The complexity of the tumor microenvironment (TME) suggests that the crosstalk between cells in the TME could drive drug resistance and relapse in PDAC. We have previously determined that vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) is overexpressed in PDAC and that VIP receptors expressed on T cells are a targetable pathway that sensitizes PDAC to anti-PD1 therapy. In this study, we show that pancreatic cancer cells engage in autocrine signaling of VIP through VIP-receptor 2 (VPAC2), and that high co-expression of VIP with VPAC2 leads to reduced relapse-free survival in PDAC patients. Mechanistically, we identified piwi-like RNA-mediated gene silencing2 (Piwil2) as a tumor-cell intrinsic protein downstream of VPAC2 that regulates cancer cell growth. In addition, we discovered TGFβ-1 as a potential tumor-extrinsic inhibitor of T cell function induced by VPAC2 signaling. In vivo, knock out and knockdown of VPAC2 on PDAC cells led to reduced tumor growth rate and increased sensitivity to anti-PD-1 therapy in various mouse models of PDAC that were T- cell dependent. Overall, these findings emphasize the implications of VIP/VPAC2 signaling in the PDAC tumor microenvironment and further support the rationale for developing VPAC2-specific antagonists.
