Abstract:
Most pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDAC) are lethal and resistant to immunotherapy. Thus, identifying the immunogenic subgroup (iPDAC) and therapeutic targets can save lives. Herein, we present molecular features of iPDAC. 3 cohorts (A, B, C) from 288 patients whose sequenced tumors (MSK-IMPACT) were classified by homologous recombination deficiency groups. MSI-H were excluded. Survival, tumor mutation burden, genomic instability score, and enriched pathways for each cohort are included in Table 1. Patients in A (BRCA1/2/PALB2) had longer survivals vs B/C. 61 samples were selected for bulk RNAseq analysis for A vs C. Gene Ontology was enriched for upregulated humoral, T cell, and neutrophil immunity. CIBERSORT suggested higher infiltration of gamma delta T (Tgd) cells (p=0.039) and neutrophils (p=0.012), but lower Treg (p=0.001). Multidimensional insights in cellular components of cancer, immune, stroma, and neural genes were obtained by single nuclear RNA (snRNAseq) analysis from 30 biopsies for A vs C. 10x Genomics Chromium platform for library and Scanpy for computational analysis after Cell Ranger pipelines were used. 61,868 nuclei were profiled from 18 (13 baseline and 5 matched longitudinal) samples after quality evaluation. UMAP accurately clustered cells from each patient. Long-term survivors (LTS) had heterogenous baseline immune cell infiltrates of plasma cells, neutrophils, and CD8 (+) cytotoxic T cells. In matched samples of LTS, evolution of more prominent CD8 (+) T cells, macrophage, plasma cell, and neutrophil were observed. Single nucleus T-Cell Receptor sequencing for clonal trajectory inference will be done to determine the associated single cell molecular features contributing to iPDAC and identify novel targets for future intervention.
