BACKGROUND & AIMS: Transforming growth factor beta (TGF?) acts either as a tumor
suppressor or as an oncogene, depending on the cellular context and time of
activation. TGF? activates the canonical SMAD pathway through its interaction
with the serine/threonine kinase type I and II heterotetrameric receptors.
Previous studies investigating TGF?-mediated signaling in the pancreas relied
either on loss-of-function approaches or on ligand overexpression, and its
effects on acinar cells have so far remained elusive. METHODS: We developed a
transgenic mouse model allowing tamoxifen-inducible and Cre-mediated conditional
activation of a constitutively active type I TGF? receptor (T?RI(CA)) in the
pancreatic acinar compartment. RESULTS: We observed that T?RI(CA) expression
induced acinar-to-ductal metaplasia (ADM) reprogramming, eventually facilitating
the onset of KRAS(G12D)-induced pre-cancerous pancreatic intraepithelial
neoplasia. This phenotype was characterized by the cellular activation of
apoptosis and dedifferentiation, two hallmarks of ADM, whereas at the molecular
level, we evidenced a modulation in the expression of transcription factors such
as Hnf1?, Sox9, and Hes1. CONCLUSIONS: We demonstrate that TGF? pathway
activation plays a crucial role in pancreatic tumor initiation through its
capacity to induce ADM, providing a favorable environment for
KRAS(G12D)-dependent carcinogenesis. Such findings are highly relevant for the
development of early detection markers and of potentially novel treatments for
pancreatic cancer patients.
