Metabolic profiling of induced acute pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer progression in a mutant Kras mouse model

ABSTRACT: Untargeted Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) metabolomics of polar extracts from the pancreata of a caerulin-induced mouse model of pancreatitis (Pt) and of a transgenic mouse model of pancreatic cancer (PCa) were used to find metabolic markers of Pt and to characterize the metabolic changes accompanying PCa progression. Using multivariate analysis a 10-metabolite metabolic signature specific to Pt tissue was found to distinguish the benign condition from both normal tissue and precancerous tissue (low grade pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia, PanIN, lesions). The mice pancreata showed significant changes in the progression from normal tissue, through low-grade and high-grade PanIN lesions to pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA). These included increased lactate production, amino acid changes consistent with enhanced anaplerosis, decreased concentrations of intermediates in membrane biosynthesis (phosphocholine and phosphoethanolamine) and decreased glycosylated uridine phosphates, reflecting activation of the hexosamine biosynthesis pathway and protein glycosylation.

Project description:Glycobiology plays a central role in prostate cancer (PCa), as evidenced by the aberrant glycosylation in PCa-derived glycoproteins. Understanding the protein glycosylation changes underling PCa onset and progression may open opportunities for the discovery of novel biomarkers for PCa detection and stratification as well as targets for PCa metastasis. Advances in mass spectrometry-based glycomics and glycoproteomics have opened up exciting avenues for deep characterisation of the immensely, yet poorly understood complex glycoproteome. In this study, we have used integrated glycomics and glycoproteomics to explore the protein, cell and tumour-grade specific N- and O- glycosylation signatures in surgically-removed fresh PCa tissues grouped into five PCa disease grades and tissues from benign prostatic hyperplasia patients (BPH). Porous graphitised carbon–liquid chromatography (PGC–LC)-MS/MS analysis was used to profile the N-and O-glycome, revealing PCa grade specific N and O glycosylation changes, including oligomannosidic and paucimannosidic, bisecting-GlcNAc and highly branched tri- and tetra-antennary fucosylated and sialylated N-glycans as well as sialylated core 1 and 2 type O-glycans. High resolution LC-MS/MS was then employed to capture the micro and macroheterogeneity of 1,085 N-glycosites (>7,400 unique N-glycopeptides) from 540 N-glycoproteins and 360 O-glycosites (>500 unique O-glycopeptides) from 178 O-glycoproteins and reveal protein and cell specific N- and O- glycosylation changes associated with PCa progression. We also showed PCa grade-specific increase in the expression of oligosaccharyltransferase (OST) subunits that correlate with changes in the site occupancy of N-glycoproteins. In conclusion, this study shows that integrated glycomics and glycoproteomics can provide unprecedented insight into key molecular features and site-specific glycan heterogeneity contributing to the highly diverse tumour-microenvironment and allow us to deconstruct the regulation of the protein, cell and tumour-grade-specific glycosylation associated with PCa onset and development.

Project description:Background: With less than a 5% survival rate pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is almost uniformly lethal. In order to make a significant impact on survival of patients with this malignancy, it is necessary to diagnose the disease early, when curative surgery is still possible. Detailed knowledge of the natural history of the disease and molecular events leading to its progression is therefore critical. Methods and Findings: We have analysed the precursor lesions, PanINs, from prophylactic pancreatectomy specimens of patients from four different kindreds with high risk of familial pancreatic cancer who were treated for histologically proven PanIN-2/3. Thus, the material was procured before pancreatic cancer has developed, rather than from PanINs in a tissue field that already contains cancer. Genome-wide transcriptional profiling using such unique specimens was performed. Bulk frozen sections displaying the most extensive but not microdissected PanIN-2/3 lesions were used in order to obtain the holistic view of both the precursor lesions and their microenvironment. A panel of 76 commonly dysregulated genes that underlie neoplastic progression from normal pancreas to PanINs and PDAC were identified. In addition to shared genes some differences between the PanINs of individual families as well as between the PanINs and PDACs were also seen. This was particularly pronounced in the stromal and immune responses. Conclusions: Our comprehensive analysis of precursor lesions without the invasive component provides the definitive molecular proof that PanIN lesions beget cancer from a molecular standpoint. We demonstrate the need for accumulation of transcriptomic changes during the progression of PanIN to PDAC, both in the epithelium and in the surrounding stroma. An identified 76-gene signature of PDAC progression presents a rich candidate pool for the development of early diagnostic and/or surveillance markers as well as potential novel preventive/therapeutic targets for both familial and sporadic pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Gene expression of 13 PanIN samples was compared to profiling data of whole biopsies from normal donor pancreas (N1 to 4, two replicated samples) and sporadic PDAC (PDAC1 to 6).Ttwo PDAC samples (PDAC 3 and 4) and a replicate of one normal specimen (N4) were removed during the hybridisation quality assessment.
