Mitochondrial fitness and risk of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma

ABSTRACT: Changes in metabolism are a hallmark of cancer, but molecular signatures of altered bioenergetics to aid in clinical decision-making do not currently exist. We recently identified a group of human tumors with constitutively reduced expression of the mitochondrial structural protein, Mic60, also called mitofilin or inner membrane mitochondrial protein (IMMT). These Mic60-low tumors exhibit severe loss of mitochondrial fitness, paradoxically accompanied by increased metastatic propensity and upregulation of a unique transcriptome of Interferon (IFN) signaling and Senescence-Associated Secretory Phenotype (SASP). Here, we show that an optimized, 11-gene signature of Mic60-low tumors is differentially expressed in multiple malignancies, compared to normal tissues, and correlates with poor outcome. When analyzed in three independent patient cohorts of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), the Mic60-low gene signature was associated with aggressive molecular variants of PDAC, local inflammation, FOLFIRINOX failure and shortened survival, independently of age, gender, or stage. Therefore, the 11-gene Mic60-low signature may provide an easily accessible molecular tool to stratify patient risk in PDAC and potentially other malignancies.

The side population of human pancreatic cancer expresses cancer stem cell-associated genes

Project description:Purpose: To explore the side population (SP) in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) for its gene expression profile and its association to cancer stem cells (CSC) and to evaluate the value of genes from its gene signature on patient survival. Experimental design: Side and main population (MP) cells were isolated from 11 human PDAC resection specimens using fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) after Hoechst incubation. Total RNA was extracted for whole-genome analysis. A gene signature for the purified SP (pSP; depleted from immune/endothelial CD45+/CD31+ cells) was developed and validated with the nCounter system on expression data of 78 primary PDAC using Cox regression analyses for disease-free and overall survival. Results: An SP was identified in all PDAC samples. Whole-genome expression profiling of pSP revealed upregulation of genes related to therapy-resistance and of CSC-associated genes and pathways. A pSP signature of 32 up- or downregulated genes was capable of discriminating SP from MP in an independent set of 10 PDAC samples, and some contributing genes had a prognostic value in a separate series of 78 patients who underwent surgery for PDAC. Conclusion: Pancreatic cancer contains an SP with chemo-resistant and CSC-associated molecular characteristics. Genes from a newly defined pSP gene signature are related to survival of patients who undergo surgical resection for pancreatic cancer, and might therefore represent potential therapeutic targets. Microarray analysis was performed on SP and MP samples from 11 different human PDAC samples.

Patient-derived organoids after neoadjuvant FOLFIRINOX predict therapy resistance in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma

Project description:Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is an extreme lethal cancer with a poor treatment response to all the current chemotherapies. We generated a library of PDAC organoid lines from resected tumors, five from treatment-naive patients and five from patients who received neoadjuvant FOLFIRINOX (eight cycles). We assessed weather residual cancer cells in the tumor lesions of the patients treated with neoadjuvant FOLFIRINOX developed resistance to the treatment. Further we perfromed transcriptome analysis to investigate: 1- weather organoids recapitualting their corresponding tumor tissue 2- To investigate any modifications in the expression of the genes inflicted by FOLFIRINOX treatment.

Plasma miR-181a-5p down-regulation predicts response and improved survival after FOLFIRINOX in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma

Project description:Purpose: FOLFIRINOX has become standard therapy for patients with advanced stages pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). However, only a subset of patients benefits from this therapy and biomarkers to guide clinical decisions are lacking. This study aimed to discover circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) as potential stratifying and monitoring biomarkers in patients with PDAC treated with FOLFIRINOX and to investigate their functional roles. Methods: A microarray was used in plasma samples from a first cohort of 11 patients selected based on their long versus short progression-free survival (PFS) after FOLFIRINOX. Nine miRNAs were validated using RT-qPCR in an independent cohort (n=43). The best discriminative miRNA was evaluated in tumor tissue samples and associated with clinicopathological features by Cox regression analyses. In vitro studies explored its role on cell proliferation, key downstream targets, and interaction with 5-fluorouracil, irinotecan, and oxaliplatin. Results: MiR-181a-5p was validated as significantly down-regulated in non-progressive compared to progressive patients after FOLFIRINOX. In multivariate analysis, this down-regulation correlated with improved PFS and overall survival, especially combined with CA19.9 decline (log-rank p<0.001, HR=0.153, 95% C.I. 0.067–0.347 and log-rank p=0.033, HR=0.201, 95% C.I. 0.070–0.576, respectively). Overexpression of miR-181a-5p increased proliferation of PDAC cells and inversely correlated with expression of ATM. Furthermore, inhibition of miR-181a-5p coupled with oxaliplatin exposure increased DNA damage and decreased cell viability. Conclusion: Our findings endorse miR-181a-5p as a biomarker for monitoring response to FOLFIRINOX and prognostication. MiR-181a-5p inhibition can potentially enhance sensitivity to oxaliplatin by amplifying the DNA damage response and cell death.

Integrative study of mitochondrial dysfunction in murine skeletal muscle during pancreatic cancer cachexia

Project description:Pancreatic Ductal AdenoCarcinoma (PDAC), the most common pancreatic cancer, is a deadly cancer since it is often diagnosed late and resistant to current therapies. A large proportion of PDAC patients are affected by tumor-induced cachexia. This cachexia, characterized by a loss of muscle mass and strength (sarcopenia), contributes to patient frailty and poor therapeutic response. We have shown that mitochondrial metabolism is reprogrammed in PDAC tumors and constitutes a vulnerability, opening new therapeutic avenues. The objective of this work was to study the molecular mechanisms underlying mitochondrial remodeling in PDAC cachectic skeletal muscle. Our study focused on the gastrocnemius muscle of genetically-engineered mice spontaneously developing an autochthonous pancreatic tumor and cachexia (KIC GEMM). We compared KIC mice developing a pancreatic tumor in 9-11 weeks to control littermates. We performed an integrative study combining in vivo functional analyses by non-invasive Magnetic Resonance, and ex-vivo histology, Seahorse, RNA-sequencing, and proteomic mass spectrometry and Western blotting analyses. KIC cachectic PDAC mice exhibit severe sarcopenia with loss of muscle mass and strength associated with reduced muscle fiber’s size and induction of protein degradation processes. Mitochondrial alterations in skeletal muscle play a central role in PDAC-induced cachexia. Muscle atrophy is associated with strong mitochondrial metabolic defects that are not limited to carbohydrates and protein metabolism, but concern also lipids, ROS and nucleic acids. Our data provide a framework to guide towards the most relevant molecular markers that would be affected early in tumor development and could be targeted in the clinic to limit PDAC-induced cachexia at early stages of the pathology.

Collagenolysis dependent DDR1 signaling dictates pancreatic cancer outcome

Project description:Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a highly desmoplastic, aggressive cancer, frequently progressing and spreading by liver metastasis. Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAF), extracellular matrix (ECM), and type I collagen (Col I) support or restrain PDAC progression and may impede blood supply and nutrient availability. The dichotomous role of the stroma in PDAC, and the mechanisms through which it influences patient survival and enables desmoplastic cancers to escape nutrient limitation remain poorly understood. Here we show that matrix metalloprotease (MMP)-cleaved or intact Col I (cCol I and iCol I, respectively) exert opposing effects on PDAC bioenergetics, macropinocytosis (MP), tumor growth and metastasis. While cCol I activates DDR1 (discoidin domain receptor-1)-NF-kB-p62-NRF2 signaling to promote PDAC growth, iCol I triggers DDR1 degradation and restrains PDAC growth. Patients whose tumors are iCol I enriched and DDR1 and NRF2 low have improved median survival compared to those with high cCol I, DDR1 and NRF2. Inhibition of DDR1-stimulated NF-kB or mitochondrial biogenesis blocked tumorigenesis in wildtype mice but not in mice expressing MMP-resistant Col I. The diverse effects of the tumor stroma on PDAC growth, metastasis, and patient survival are mediated through the Col I-DDR1-NF-kB-NRF2-mitochondrial biogenesis pathway, presenting new therapeutic opportunities.

<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.

Gene expression of matched treatment-naive versus FOLFIRINOX-treated PDAC patient-derived organoids

Project description:In our study, we aimed to investigate adaptive processes of tumors under treatment and therefore, generated PDAC patient-derived organoids (PDOs) and 2D cell lines before and after chemotherapy. We enrolled a patient with borderline resectable PDAC who received neoadjuvant FOLFIRINOX. Endoscopic fine needle (pre-FFX) and surgical biopsies (post-FFX) were used to generate PDOs and 2D cells. Whole exome sequencing (WES) and RNA sequencing data of the pre-FFX and post-FFX organoids were compared in order to evaluate the genetic landscape and PDAC subtypes. Although transcriptional subtyping classified both PDOs as classical PDAC, gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) revealed a reduced pathway activation linked to the basal-like phenotype such as KRAS signaling in the post-FFX organoids. WES did not show major differences in the genetic landscape of the tumor pre- and post-FFX induction suggesting a plasticity process rather than a clonal selection during chemotherapy. 2D cells were subjected to an unbiased automated drug screening of 415 compounds to investigate FFX-induced vulnerabilities. Top targets such as MEK inhibitors were validated manually in the 2D cells and organoids and an increased sensitivity was observed in the post-FFX cells. Thus, integrating functional layers into personalized medicine allows to identify chemotherapy-induced vulnerabilities as potent targeted therapy options in PDAC.
