Project description:BACKGROUND: Therapy resistance remains one of the major challenges to improve the prognosis of patients with pancreatic cancer. Chemoresistant cells, which potentially also display cancer stem cell (CSC) characteristics, can be isolated using the side population (SP) technique. Our aim was to search for a SP in human pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and to examine its chemoresistance and CSC phenotype. RESULTS: A SP was identified in all PDAC samples, expanded and analyzed as first-generation xenografts. This SP was more resistant to gemcitabine than the other tumour cells as analyzed in vivo. Whole-genome expression profiling of the SP revealed upregulation of genes related to therapy resistance, apoptotic regulation and epithelial-mesenchymal transition. In addition, the SP displayed higher tumourigenic (CSC) activity than the other main tumour cell population (MP) as analyzed in vitro by sphere-forming capacity. CONCLUSION: We identified a SP in human PDAC and uncovered a chemoresistant and CSC-associated phenotype. This SP may represent a new therapeutic target in pancreatic cancer. Micro-array analysis was performed on SP and MP samples of 5 xenografts, grown from 5 different human PDAC samples.

Project description:Gemcitabine is a drug of choice in the treatment of human pancreatic cancer. Chemo-resistance to this drug is common and has been attributed to a variety of distinct mechanisms, involving > 100 genes. A recently developed small-molecule G-quadruplex ligand, the trisubstituted naphthalene diimide compound CM03, has previously been shown to have equivalent potency to gemcitabine in the pancreatic cancer cell line MIA PaCa-2. We report here on cell lines of increased resistance to gemcitabine that have been generated from this line, with the most resistant having 1,000-fold reduced sensitivity to gemcitabine. These resistant lines retain nM sensitivity to CM03. The molecular basis for the retention of potency by this G-quadruplex ligand has been examined using whole transcriptome data analysis with RNA-seq. This has revealed that the pattern of pathways down regulated by CM03 in the parental MIA PaCa-2 cell line is largely unaffected in the gemcitabine-resistant line. The analysis has also shown that the expression patterns of numerous genes involved in gemcitabine sensitivity are down regulated in the resistant line upon CM03 treatment. These results are supportive of the concept that G-quadruplex small molecules such as CM03 have potential for clinical use in the treatment of gemcitabine-resistant human pancreatic cancer.

Project description:Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has a characteristically dense stroma comprised predominantly of cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs). CAFs promote tumor growth, metastasis and treatment resistance. We aimed to investigate the molecular changes and functional consequences associated with chemotherapy treatment of PDAC CAFs. Chemoresistant immortalized CAFs (R-CAFs) were generated by continuous incubation in 100nM gemcitabine. Gene expression differences between treatment naïve CAFs (N-CAFs) and R-CAFs were compared by array analysis. Immortalized human pancreatic CAFs were grown for 30 days in either control media or media containing 100nM gemcitabine. RNA was then isolated and hybidized on U133 Plus 2.0 Affymetrix arrays.

Project description:Gemcitabine (GEM) alone and GEM-based chemotherapy are the preferred regimens for treating advanced unresectable and metastatic pancreatic cancer (PC). However, these treatments have limited efficacy due to acquired resistance of cancer cells to chemotherapy, the mechanisms of which are not fully understood. In this study, we established two GEM-resistant cell lines (BxPC-3-GR and CFPAC-1-GR) and compared the expression profiles of mRNAs between parental (BxPC-3 and CFPAC-1) and GEM-resistant cells by high-throughput RNA sequencing, and to identify potential targets for GEM response in PC patients.

Project description:In pancreatic cancer the survival rate is low, as the available treatment options usually only extend survival and seldom produce a cure. Drug resistance and disease reoccurrence is the typical reason for death after cancer diagnosis. 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is the main chemostatic used in first line therapy. However the majority of the tumors become resistant to treatment. To investigate acquired 5-FU resistance in pancreatic adenocarcinoma, we established chemoresistant monoclonal cell lines from the Panc03.27 cell line by long-term exposure to 5-FU. In addition to increased expression of markers associated with multidrug resistance, the 5-FU resistant clones showed alterations typical of the process of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), including upregulation of mesenchymal markers and increased invasiveness. Microarray analysis revealed the L1CAM pathway as one of the most upregulated pathways in the chemoresistant clones, which was confirmed on RNA and protein levels. Expression of the adhesion molecule L1CAM is associated with a chemoresistant and migratory phenotype of pancreatic cancer. Using esiRNA targeting L1CAM, or by blocking the extracellular part of L1CAM with monoclonal antibodies, we discovered that the increased invasiveness observed in the chemoresistant cells depends on L1CAM. Using esiRNA targeting β-catenin and/or Slug, we discovered that L1CAM expression depends on Slug rather than β-catenin in the 5-FU resistant cells. We demonstrate a functional link between Slug and the expression level of L1CAM in pancreatic cancer cells having undergone EMT following long-term exposure to 5-FU. Our findings provide further insight into the molecular mechanisms leading to a chemoresistant and migratory phenotype in pancreatic cancer cells and indicate the importance of Slug-induced L1CAM in refractory pancreatic cancer.
