ABSTRACT: Biliary tract cancer (BTC) ranks among the most lethal human malignancies, thereby representing an unmet clinical need. In this study, we find that the Pdx1-positive extrahepatic biliary epithelium is highly susceptible towards transformation by activated Pik3caH1047R, but completely refractory to oncogenic KrasG12D. Using genome-wide in vivo piggyBac transposon-based forward genetic screening and genetic loss-of-function experiments, we discover important extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ECC) cancer genes and find that PI3K-signaling output strength and repression of the tumor suppressor p27Kip1 are critical context-specific determinants of tumor formation. This contrasts the pancreas, where oncogenic Kras in concert with Trp53 loss of function are key cancer drivers. Notably, inactivation of p27Kip1 permits KrasG12D-driven ECC development, and bypasses oncogene-induced senescence without triggering the Trp53 pathway. These studies provide a mechanistic link between PI3K-signaling, tissue-specific tumor suppressor barriers, and ECC pathogenesis, and present a novel genetic model of autochthonous ECC and genes driving this highly lethal tumor-subtype.
