AIMS: While overexpression of TGF? has been reported in human pancreatic ductal
adenocarcinoma (PDAC), mice with overexpressed TGF? develop premalignant
pancreatic acinar-to-ductal metaplasia (ADM) but not PDAC. TGF-? signaling
pathway is pivotal to the development of PDAC and tissue fibrosis. Here we sought
to investigate the interplay between TGF? and TGF-? signaling in pancreatic
tumorigenesis and fibrosis, namely via Smad4 inactivation. METHODS: The MT-TGF?
mouse was crossed with a new Smad4 conditional knock-out mouse
(Smad4flox/flox;p48-Cre or S4) to generate Smad4flox/flox;MT-TGF?;p48-Cre (STP).
After TGF? overexpression was induced with zinc sulfate water for eight months,
the pancreata of the STP, MT-TGF?, and S4 mice were examined for tumor
development and fibrotic responses. PanIN lesions and number of ducts were
counted, and proliferation was measured by Ki67 immunohistochemistry (IHC).
Qualitative analysis of fibrosis was analyzed by Trichrome Masson and Sirius Red
staining, while vimentin was used for quantification. Expression analyses of
fibrosis, pancreatitis, or desmoplasia associated markers (?-SMA, Shh, COX-2,
Muc6, Col1a1, and Ctgf) were performed by IHC and/or qRT-PCR. RESULTS: Our STP
mice exhibited advanced ADM, increased fibrosis, increased numbers of PanIN
lesions, overexpression of chronic pancreatitis-related marker Muc6, and elevated
expression of desmoplasia-associated marker Col1A1, compared to the MT-TGF? mice.
The inactivation of Smad4 in the exocrine compartment was responsible for both
the enhanced PanIN formation and fibrosis in the pancreas. The phenotype of the
STP mice represents a transient state from ADMs to PanINs, closely mimicking the
interface area seen in human chronic pancreatitis associated with PDAC.
CONCLUSION: We have documented a novel mouse model, the STP mice, which displayed
histologic presentations reminiscent to those of human chronic pancreatitis with
signs of early tumorigenesis. The STP mice could be a suitable animal model for
interrogating the transition of chronic pancreatitis to pancreatic cancer.
