Favorable histo-molecular remodeling of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma after Total Neoadjuvant Therapy including Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy
biorxiv(2024)
摘要
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains one of the deadliest tumors with slow progress in systemic therapies due to its peculiar and resistant tumor microenvironment. Inclusion of isotoxic high-dose stereotactic body radiation therapy (iHD-SBRT) into a total neoadjuvant strategy (TNT) is promising for the treatment of localized PDAC. However, the histo-molecular effects of iHD-SBRT are still poorly explored. In this study, we have shown that TNT, associating FOLFIRINOX [FFX] followed by iHD-SBRT, leads to significant and long-lasting remodeling of PDAC, affecting its stromal, metabolic, and molecular features. Contrary to FFX alone, TNT is able to enrich tumors with Classical and Inactive stromal signatures associated with better prognosis. Furthermore, iHD-SBRT seems capable to counteract several of the detrimental modulatory effects induced by FFX such as Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition or angiogenesis. Additionally, we identified inflammatory cancer-associated fibroblasts signatures as an important prognostic factor. This work provides new rationale to sequentially combine FFX with iHD-SBRT and suggests new pathways that can be targeted in combination with a TNT.
