Plasma biomarkers for prediction of early tumor recurrence after resection of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma

Abstract Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a disease with a very unfavorable prognosis. Surgical resection represents the only potentially curative treatment option, but recurrence after complete resection is almost certain. In an exploratory attempt we here aimed at identifying preoperativ...

In total, 23 proteins showed differential abundance in perioperative plasma from PDAC patients with early recurrence when compared to patients with late recurrence. Following confirmation of expression on a transcriptional and translational level in PDAC cell lines we further focused on three upregulated (MAEA, NT5E, AZU1) and two downregulated proteins (ATP6AP2, MICA). Increased expression of NT5E was confirmed in a subset of PDAC organoid cultures from tumors with early recurrence. MICA expression was heterogeneous and ATP6AP2 levels were very similar in both organoids from early and late recurrent tumors. Most strikingly, we observed high MAEA expression in all tested PDAC (n = 7) compared to a non-cancer ductal organoid line. MAEA also demonstrated potential to discriminate early recurrence from late recurrence PDAC organoids. Our study suggests that identification of plasma protein biomarkers released by tumor cells may be feasible and of value to predict the clinical course of patients.
