A Unifying Paradigm for Transcriptional Heterogeneity and Squamous Features in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma

ABSTRACT: Pancreatic cancer expression profiles largely reflect a classical or basal-like phenotype. The extent to which these profiles vary within a patient is unknown. We integrated evolutionary analysis and expression profiling in multiregion sampled metastatic pancreatic cancers, finding that squamous features are the histologic correlate of an RNA-seq defined basal-like subtype. In patients with coexisting basal/squamous and classical/glandular morphology, phylogenetic studies revealed that squamous morphology represented a subclonal population in an otherwise classical/glandular tumor. Cancers with squamous features were significantly more likely to have clonal mutations in chromatin modifiers, intercellular heterogeneity for MYC amplification, and entosis. These data provide a unifying paradigm for integrating basal-type expression profiles, squamous histology, and somatic mutations in chromatin modifier genes in the context of clonal evolution of pancreatic cancer.

<scp>ELAPOR1</scp> induces the classical/progenitor subtype and contributes to reduced disease aggressiveness through metabolic reprogramming in pancreatic cancer

Project description:Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a heterogeneous disease with distinct molecular subtypes described as classical/progenitor and basal-like/squamous PDAC. We hypothesized that integrative transcriptome and metabolome approaches can identify candidate genes whose inactivation contributes to the development of the aggressive basal-like/squamous subtype. Using our integrated approach, we identified endosome-lysosome associated apoptosis and autophagy regulator 1 (ELAPOR1/KIAA1324) as a candidate tumor suppressor in both our NCI-UMD-German cohort and additional validation cohorts. Diminished ELAPOR1 expression was linked to high histological grade, advanced disease stage, the basal-like/squamous subtype, and reduced patient survival in PDAC. In vitro experiments demonstrated that ELAPOR1 transgene expression not only inhibited the migration and invasion of PDAC cells but also induced gene expression characteristics associated with the classical/progenitor subtype. Metabolome analysis of patient tumors and PDAC cells revealed a metabolic program associated with both upregulated ELAPOR1 and the classical/progenitor subtype, encompassing upregulated lipogenesis and downregulated amino acid metabolism. 1-Methylnicotinamide, a known oncometabolite derived from S-adenosylmethionine, was inversely associated with ELAPOR1 expression and promoted migration and invasion of PDAC cells in vitro. Taken together, our data suggest that enhanced ELAPOR1 expression promotes transcriptome and metabolome characteristics that are indicative of the classical/progenitor subtype, whereas its reduction associates with basal-like/squamous tumors with increased disease aggressiveness in PDAC patients. These findings position ELAPOR1 as a promising candidate for diagnostic and therapeutic targeting in PDAC.

Integrative single-cell transcriptome analysis of human pancreatic cancer reveals an intermediate cancer cell population associated with poor prognosis [RNA]

Project description:We identified five distinct functional subclusters of pancreatic cancer cells and six distinct cancer-associated fibroblast subclusters. We deeply profiled their characteristics, and we found that these subclusters successfully deconvoluted most of the features suggested in bulk transcriptome analysis of pancreatic cancer. Among those subclusters, we identified a novel cancer cell subcluster, Ep_VGLL1, showing intermediate characteristics between the extremities of basal-like and classical dichotomy, despite its prognostic value. Molecular features of Ep_VGLL1 suggest its transitional properties between basal-like and classical subtypes, which is strongly supported by spatial transcriptome data.

TNFα-producing Macrophages Determine Subtype Identity and Prognosis via AP1 Enhancer Reprogramming in Pancreatic Cancer [ChIP-/ATAC-seq]

Project description:In pancreatic cancer, two distinct transcriptomic subtypes were identified with a high prognostic relevance: the classical and basal-like subtype. Therefore, in this study, we wanted to use an unbiased method to investigate the global chromatin accessibility in subtype-defined pancreatic cancer cell lines, as well as define the binding profile of the highly subtype-dependent JUN/AP1 transcription factors JUNB (classical) and cJUN (basal). Hence, we performed ATAC-seq in two classical and basal-like cells, as well as ChIP-seq for JUNB in classical CAPAN1 cells and for cJUN in basal-like PANC1 cells.

SERPINB3 induces the aggressive basal-like/squamous subtype and promotes invasion and metastasis in pancreatic cancer III

Project description:Pancreatic cancer is a heterogenous disease and consists of distinct subtypes. Here, we searched for candidate driver genes of the basal-like/squamous subtype, a more aggressive molecular subtype of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Through an integrated transcriptome analysis, we identified the serine/cysteine protease inhibitor, SERPINB3 (squamous cell carcinoma antigen 1, SCCA1), as being upregulated in the basal-like/squamous PDAC using a discovery and validation approach. SERPINB3 upregulation associated with decreased patient survival and a transcriptome profile indicative of the basal-like/squamous subtype. The goal of this study was aimed to identify SERPINB3 induced molecular signatures in PDAC.

Molecular classification of non-melanoma skin cancer by gene expression profiling

Project description:Non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSC) including basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) are more common kinds of skin cancer. Although these tumors share common pathological and clinical features, their similarity and heterogeneity at molecular levels are not fully elaborated yet. Here, by performing comparative analysis of gene expression profiling of BCC, SCC, and normal skin tissues, we could classify the BCC into three subtypes of classical, SCC-like, and normal-like BCCs. Functional enrichment and pathway analyses revealed the molecular characteristics of each subtype. The analysis of gene expression profiling among non-melanoma skin cancer types

A classical epithelial state drives acute resistance to KRAS inhibition in pancreas cancer

Project description:Intra-tumoral heterogeneity in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is characterized by a balance between basal and classical epithelial cancer cell states, with basal dominance associating with chemoresistance and a dismal prognosis. Targeting oncogenic KRAS, the primary driver of pancreatic cancer, shows early promise in clinical trials but efficacy is limited by acquired resistance. Using genetically engineered mouse models and patient-derived xenografts, we find that basal PDAC cells are highly sensitive to KRAS inhibitors. Employing fluorescent and bioluminescent reporter systems, we longitudinally track cell-state dynamics in vivo and reveal a rapid, KRAS inhibitor-induced enrichment of the classical state. Lineage-tracing identifies these enriched classical PDAC cells to be a reservoir for disease relapse. Genetic ablation of the classical cell-state is synergistic with KRAS inhibition, providing a pre-clinical proof-of-concept for this therapeutic strategy. Our findings motivate combining classical-state directed therapies with KRAS inhibitors to deepen responses and counteract resistance in pancreatic cancer.
