Abstract

Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) of the pancreas are a unique entity with malignant potential. Histologically, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) arising in IPMN (intraductal papillary mucinous carcinoma [IPMC]) appears similar to sporadic PDAC; biologically, however, IPMC seems to have a less aggressive clinical course. Little is known about the genetic signature of IPMC. In this study, we describe a novel xenograft model and cell culture created to biologically and genetically characterize these tumors. Xenograft mice and cell lines were created from IPMC. Global genomic changes were evaluated by cytogenetic analysis and array comparative genomic hybridization. Specific mutations and sonic hedgehog (Shh) pathway activity were examined and xenografts evaluated for sensitivity to anti-Shh therapy. Cytogenetic analysis showed a tetraploid karyotype with multiple aberrations. KRAS and p53 mutations and overexpression of the Shh pathway were identified. Array comparative genomic hybridization revealed multiple chromosomal aberrations comparable with previously published data in IPMNs. Murine xenograft tumors were sensitive to anti-Shh treatment. Characterization of IPMC cell lines and xenografts reveals simila...Continue Reading
