Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a highly lethal malignancy due to its
propensity to invade and rapidly metastasize and remains very difficult to manage
clinically. One major hindrance towards a better understanding of PDAC is the
lack of molecular data sets and models representative of end stage disease.
Moreover, it remains unclear how molecularly similar patient-derived xenograft
(PDX) models are to the primary tumor from which they were derived. To identify
potential molecular drivers in metastatic pancreatic cancer progression, we
obtained matched primary tumor, metastases and normal (peripheral blood) samples
under a rapid autopsy program and performed whole exome sequencing (WES) on tumor
as well as normal samples. PDX models were also generated, sequenced and compared
to tumors. Across the matched data sets generated for three patients, there were
on average approximately 160 single-nucleotide mutations in each sample. The
majority of mutations in each patient were shared among the primary and
metastatic samples and, importantly, were largely retained in the xenograft
models. Based on the mutation prevalence in the primary and metastatic sites, we
proposed possible clonal evolution patterns marked by functional mutations
affecting cancer genes such as KRAS, TP53 and SMAD4 that may play an important
role in tumor initiation, progression and metastasis. These results add to our
understanding of pancreatic tumor biology, and demonstrate that PDX models
derived from advanced or end-stage likely closely approximate the genetics of the
disease in the clinic and thus represent a biologically and clinically relevant
pre-clinical platform that may enable the development of effective targeted
therapies for PDAC.
