Project description:Tumor cells rely on glutamine to fulfill their metabolic demands and sustain proliferation. The elevated consumption of glutamine can lead to intratumoral nutrient depletion, causing metabolic stress that has the potential to impact tumor progression. Here, we show that nutrient stress caused by glutamine deprivation leads to the induction of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) cells. Mechanistically, we demonstrate that glutamine deficiency regulates EMT through the upregulation of the EMT master regulator Slug, a process that is dependent on both MEK/ERK signaling and ATF4. We find that Slug is required in PDAC cells for glutamine deprivation-induced EMT, cell motility and nutrient stress survival. Importantly, we decipher that Slug is associated with nutrient stress in PDAC tumors and is required for metastasis. These results delineate a novel role for Slug in the nutrient stress response and provide insight into how nutrient depletion might influence PDAC progression.

Project description:Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the most lethal human cancers. It thrives in a nutrient-poor environment; however, the mechanisms by which PDAC cells undergo metabolic reprogramming to adapt and survive in metabolic stress are still poorly understood. Here, we show that microRNA-135 is significantly increased in PDAC patient samples compared to adjacent normal tissue and represses aerobic glycolysis. Mechanistically, we found that miR-135 accumulates specifically in response to glutamine deprivation and requires ROS-dependent activation of mutant p53, which directly promotes miR-135 expression. Functionally, we found miR-135 targets phosphofructokinase-1 (PFK1) and inhibits aerobic glycolysis, thereby promoting the utilization of glucose to support the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. Consistently, miR-135 deficient PDAC cells preferentially use glutamine carbon to replenish the TCA cycle, and miR-135 silencing sensitizes PDAC cells to glutamine deprivation and represses tumour growth in vivo. Consistent with these findings, patient pancreatic cancer tissue displays decreased PFK1 level compared to adjacent normal tissue. Together, these results identify a mechanism used by PDAC cells to survive the nutrient-poor tumour microenvironment, and also provide insight regarding the role of mutant p53 and miRNA in pancreatic cancer cell adaptation to metabolic stresses.

Project description:Differences in the expression profile of hepatic and pancreatic stellate cells are investigated. Aim is to identify organ and disease specific transcriptome signatures of stellate cells, comparing hepatic and pancreatic stellate cells obtained from tissues of chronic inflammation, and primary or metastatic cancers of the pancreas. Tissues of chronic pancreatitis (n=6), pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (n=5), liver cirrhosis (n=5) and liver metastasis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (n=6) were collected and stellate cells were isolated by the outgrowth method. Using cDNA microarrays, differentially expressed genes are identified.

Project description:Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is therapeutically recalcitrant and metastatic. Epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) is associated with metastasis, however, a causal connection needs further unraveling. We explored the impact of stabilized EMT states on PDAC metastasis through the use of genetically-engineered mouse models that exhibit a stabilized epithelial phenotype through the deletion of EMT-driving transcription factors Snail and Twist together We examined the cancer cell-intrinsic pathways associated with stabilized epithelial pancreatic adenocarcinoma cells.
