Soluble stroma‐related biomarkers of pancreatic cancer

Abstract The clinical management of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is hampered by the lack of reliable biomarkers. This study investigated the value of soluble stroma‐related molecules as PDAC biomarkers. In the first exploratory phase, 12 out of 38 molecules were associated with PDAC in a...

description Abstract The clinical management of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is hampered by the lack of reliable biomarkers. This study investigated the value of soluble stroma‐related molecules as PDAC biomarkers. In the first exploratory phase, 12 out of 38 molecules were associated with PDAC in a cohort of 25 PDAC patients and 16 healthy subjects. A second confirmatory phase on an independent cohort of 131 PDAC patients, 30 chronic pancreatitis patients, and 131 healthy subjects confirmed the PDAC association for MMP7, CCN2, IGFBP2, TSP2, sICAM1, TIMP1, and PLG. Multivariable logistic regression model identified biomarker panels discriminating respectively PDAC versus healthy subjects (MMP7 + CA19.9, AUC = 0.99, 99% CI = 0.98–1.00) (CCN2 + CA19.9, AUC = 0.96, 99% CI = 0.92–0.99) and PDAC versus chronic pancreatitis (CCN2 + PLG+FN+Col4 + CA19.9, AUC = 0.94, 99% CI = 0.88–0.99). Five molecules were associated with PanIN development in two GEM models of PDAC (PdxCre/LSL‐KrasG12D and PdxCre/LSL‐KrasG12D/+/LSL‐Trp53R172H/+), suggesting their potential for detecting early disease. These markers were also elevated in patient‐derived orthotopic PDAC xenografts and associated with response to chemotherapy. The identified stroma‐related soluble biomarkers represent potential tools for PDAC diagnosis and for monitoring treatment response of PDAC patients.
