Project description:Constitutive Kras and NF-kB activation is identified as signature alterations in human pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Here, we report that pancreas-targeted IKK2/beta inactivation inhibited NF-kB activation and completely suppressed PDAC development. Our findings demonstrated that NF-kB is required for development of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma that was initiated by Kras activation. Pancreatic tissue from 4 groups of mice were used in this project: (1) the pancreas normal appearance of Pdx1-cre;KrasLSL-G12D;IKK2/beta mice, (2) the normal pancreas of Pdx1-cre;KrasLSL-G12D mice, (3) the pancreatic lesion of pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PanIN) of Pdx1-cre;KrasLSL-G12D mice, and (4) the pancreatic lesion of PDAC of Pdx1-cre;KrasLSL-G12D mice. Each group included three mice. RNA samples from mouse pancreas were hybridized on GeneChip Mouse Gene 1.0 ST arrays (Affymetrix). Group (1) and group (2) were compared, and group (2), group (3) and group (4) were compared.
Project description:Constitutive Kras and NF-kappaB activation is identified as signature alterations in human pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). However, the mechanisms of constitutive NF-kappaB activation in KrasG12D-induced PDAC are not yet understood. Here, we report that pancreas-targeted IKK2/beta inactivation inhibited NF-kappaB activation and completely suppressed PDAC development in KrasG12D and KrasG12D;Ink4a/Arf mutant mice, demonstrating a genetic link between IKK2/beta and KrasG12D in PDAC inception. Our findings reveal that KrasG12D-activated AP-1 induces IL-1alpha, which in turn activates NF-kappaB and its target genes IL-1alpha and p62, to initiate IL-1alpha/p62 feedforward loops for inducing and sustaining NF-kappaB activity. Furthermore, IL-1alpha overexpression correlates with Kras mutation, constitutive NF-kappaB activity, and poor survival in PDAC patients. Therefore, our findings establish a pathway linking duel feedforward loops of IL-1alpha/p62 through which IKK2/beta/NF-kappaB is activated by KrasG12D. To study Kras-induced inflammatory responses and to identify differentially expressed genes between the pancreatic tissues of Pdx1-Cre;KrasLSL-G12D and Pdx1-Cre;KrasLSL-G12D;IKK2/betaF/F mice, cDNA microarray analysis was performed.

Project description:This study used Illumina strand-specific, paired-end RNA-sequencing to examine gene expression differences between matched murine tumor- and metastasis-derived mouse pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) cells grown as three-dimensional, organoid cultures. The study analyzed 16 organoid lines derived from matched primary PDAC tumors and PDAC metastases from 6 KPC (KrasLSL-G12D; Trp53LSL-R172H; Pdx1-Cre) mice.
