Proteome Profiling of Primary Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinomas Undergoing Additive Chemoradiation Link ALDH1A1 to Early Local Recurrence and Chemoradiation Resistance.

ABSTRACT: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has a poor prognosis with frequent post-surgical local recurrence. The combination of adjuvant chemotherapy with radiotherapy is under consideration to achieve a prolonged progression-free survival (PFS). To date, few studies have determined the proteome profiles associated with response to adjuvant chemoradiation. We herein analyzed the proteomes of primary PDAC tumors subjected to additive chemoradiation after surgical resection and achieving short PFS (median 6 months) versus prolonged PFS (median 28 months). Proteomic analysis revealed the overexpression of Aldehyde Dehydrogenase 1 Family Member A1 (ALDH1A1) and Monoamine Oxidase A (MAOA) in the short PFS cohort, which were corroborated by immunohistochemistry. In vitro, specific inhibition of ALDH1A1 by A37 in combination with gemcitabine, radiation, and chemoradiation lowered cell viability and augmented cell death in MiaPaCa-2 and Panc 05.04 cells. ALDH1A1 silencing in both cell lines dampened cell proliferation, cell metabolism, and colony formation. In MiaPaCa-2 cells, ALDH1A1 silencing sensitized cells towards treatment with gemcitabine, radiation or chemoradiation. In Panc 05.04, increased cell death was observed upon gemcitabine treatment only. These findings are in line with previous studies that have suggested a role of ALDH1A1 chemoradiation resistance, e.g., in esophageal cancer. In summary, we present one of the first proteome studies to investigate the responsiveness of PDAC to chemoradiation and provide further evidence for a role of ALDH1A1 in therapy resistance.

Project description:Immunotherapy is a new anti-cancer treatment option, showing promising results in clinical trials. To investigate potential immune biomarkers in esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC), we explored immune landscape patterns in the tumor microenvironment before and after neoadjuvant chemoradiation (nCRT). Sections from matched pretreatment biopsies and post-nCRT resection specimens (n = 188) were stained for (1) programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1, CD274); (2) programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1, CD279), forkhead box P3 (FOXP3), CD8, pan-cytokeratin multiplex; and (3) an MHC class I, II duplex. The densities of tumor-associated immune cells (TAICs) were calculated using digital image analyses and correlated to histopathological nCRT response [tumor regression grade (TRG)], survival, and post-nCRT immune patterns. PD-L1 positivity defined by a combined positive score of >1 was associated with a better response post-nCRT (TRG 1-3 versus 4, 5, p = 0.010). In addition, high combined mean densities of CD8+ , FOXP3+ , and PD-1+ TAICs in the tumor epithelium and stroma of biopsies were associated with a better response (TRG 1-3 versus 4, 5, p = 0.025 and p = 0.044, respectively). Heterogeneous TAIC density patterns were observed post-nCRT, with significantly higher CD8+ and PD-1+ TAIC mean densities compared with biopsies (both p = 0.000). Three immune landscape patterns were defined post-nCRT: 'inflamed', 'invasive margin', and 'desert', of which 'inflamed' was the most frequent (57%). Compared with matched biopsies, resection specimens with 'inflamed' tumors showed a significantly higher increase in CD8+ density compared with non-inflamed tumors post-nCRT (p = 0.000). In this cohort of EAC patients, higher TAIC densities in pretreatment biopsies were associated with response to nCRT. This warrants future research into the potential of the tumor-immune landscape for patient stratification and novel (immune) therapeutic strategies. © 2021 The Authors.
