The aggressiveness of pancreatic cancer is associated with the acquisition of
mesenchymal characteristics by a subset of pancreatic cancer cells. The factors
driving the development of this subset are not well understood. In this study, we
tested the hypothesis that acquisition of a mesenchymal phenotype occurs
selectively in tumor cells that harbor specific enabling genetic alterations. We
obtained whole-genome comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) measurements on
pancreatic cancer cell lines that have either an epithelial-like (17 cell lines)
or a mesenchymal-like (9 cell lines) phenotype in vitro. The total amounts of
amplifications and deletions were equivalent between the epithelial and
mesenchymal groups, but 20 genes showed a major difference between the groups in
prevalence of alterations. All 20 alterations (18 deletions and 2 amplifications)
were more prevalent in the mesenchymal group, confirming the advanced nature of
this cellular subtype. CDKN2A was altered in more than 50% of both groups, but
co-deletions in neighboring genes, and concomitant loss of gene expression, were
more prevalent in the mesenchymal group, suggesting that the size of the loss
around CDKN2A affects cell phenotype. Whole-genome CGH on 11 primary cancer
tissues revealed that the 20 genes were altered at a higher prevalence (up to 55%
of the cases for certain genes) than randomly selected sets of 20 genes, with the
same direction of alteration as in the cell lines. These findings support the
concept that specific genetic alterations enable phenotype plasticity and provide
promising candidate genes for further research.
