Abstract
Abstract
The extensive desmoplasia in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has raised major interrogations on its role and function in the carcinogenic process. Patient-derived xenograft (PDX) offers an ideal setting to distinguish and to study the interactions between the cancerous epithelial cells and its stroma. Indeed, sequencing profiles of a mix of cancerous/Human and stroma/Mouse cells can be analyzed separately in silico by unambiguously assigning each sequence to the human or mouse genome. Using RNA sequencing, we profiled 30 pancreatic tumor PDXs and extracted the transcriptome profiles of epithelial cancerous cells as well as their corresponding stroma. On average, 70% of RNA sequencing reads were specifically attributed to a human origin, and therefore an epithelial origin, while 22% of RNA sequencing reads were mouse-specific. Using the rate of mouse sequences as a surrogate of the proportion of non-transformed cells, we observe a high variability in the infiltration level from 7% to 60%. The estimation was also consistent in whole exome sequencing (using the same sequencing process) and with the histological quantification of fibrotic tissue.
By specifically analyzing the gene expression in mouse-stromal cells, we show that their transcriptomic profile is consistent with the recent description of human PDAC in situ tumors with high levels of genes of the reported activated-stroma and normal-stroma signatures. We also show that stromal cells over-express genes involved in the SLIT/ROBO axon guidance signalling pathway, in angiogenesis as well as a large number of collagens, cytokines and ligands associated with growth and developmental pathways.
Recent studies identified two major subtypes of PDAC from transcriptomic analysis: a well differentiated, often referred as classical, and an undifferentiated, previously recognized as Basal, Quasi-Mesenchymal or Squamous. The stroma characterized in this work broadly reflects this heterogeneity with stromal gene expression signatures predictive of each subtype. For instance, collagens are significantly over-expressed in the stroma of squamous tumors. The concomitant analysis of transcriptomic profiles of both subtypes shows potential cross-talks between cancerous and stromal cells. Particularly in Squamous tumors, genes implicated in the axon-guidance and Wnt pathways are significantly upregulated in both, stroma and transformed cells. On the other hand, the stroma and transformed cells of Classical tumors shows an upregulation of complementary genes associated with several metabolic pathways.
Taken together, our transcriptomic analysis reveals that human transformed pancreatic cells determine the composition, quantitatively and qualitatively, of stroma mouse cells in a PDX model. This model also reveals a broad variability of PDAC stromas and highlights potential cross-talks between them through known and novel pathways.

Abstract
In addition to deoxynivalenol (DON), acetylated derivatives, i.e., 3-acetyl and 15-acetyldexynivalenol (or 3/15ADON), are present in cereals leading to exposure to these mycotoxins. Animal and human studies suggest that 3/15ADON are converted into DON after their ingestion through hydrolysis of the acetyl moiety, the site(s) of such deacetylation being still uncharacterized. We used in vitro and ex vivo approaches to study the deacetylation of 3/15ADON by enzymes and cells/tissues present on their way from the food matrix to the blood in humans. We found that luminal deacetylation by digestive enzymes and bacteria is limited. Using human cells, tissues and S9 fractions, we were able to demonstrate that small intestine and liver possess strong deacetylation capacity compared to colon and kidneys. Interestingly, in most cases, deacetylation was more efficient for 3ADON than 15ADON. Although we initially thought that carboxylesterases (CES) could be responsible for the deacetylation of 3/15ADON, the use of pure human CES1/2 and of CES inhibitor demonstrated that CES are not involved. Taken together, our original model system allowed us to identify the small intestine and the liver as the main site of deacetylation of ingested 3/15ADON in humans.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Individual molecular information might improve management of pancreatic adenocarcinoma. To identify actionable genes, at the transcriptional level, we investigated candidate genes that we had previously identified using array-comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH). MATERIALS AND METHODS We collected 10 public gene-expression datasets, gathering a total of 524 pancreatic samples (105 normal and 419 malignant tissues). Based on our previous aCGH analysis, we searched for genes differentially expressed between normal and malignant samples and genes associated with survival. RESULTS Among genes amplified/gained by aCGH, 48% were overexpressed in malignant tissues. The majority of these genes were related to apoptosis, cell-cycle regulation and differentiation. Among genes located in areas of loss, 41% were underexpressed in malignant tissues; most of them were involved in ion transport, homeostasis maintenance and fatty acid metabolism. Survival analysis identified genes significantly related to shorter (n=17) or longer (n=29) survival. CONCLUSION Some of these genes can be further investigated as potential prognostic markers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND According to knowledge, patients with resectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PA) should receive adjuvant gemcitabine-based chemotherapy. Thus, the tumour node metastasis (TNM) classification is not used to determine post-operative treatment but rather only to establish patient prognosis. However, the TNM classification does not include strong factors influencing survival, such as perineural invasion or margin status. This study compared the survival of patients with very similar tumours. METHODS From 1997 to 2007, 118 patients underwent pancreatectomy for PA. Twenty-six patients (22%) had long-term survival (>5 years; LTS group). According to the major prognostic factors of PA, we matched (1:1) patients in the LTS group with patients who did not have long-term survival (<5 years; control group). RESULTS Surprisingly, we did not have any difficulty identifying patients to include in the control group. Consequently, no differences were noted between patients of the LTS group when compared with patients of the control group according to major prognostic factors and the TNM classification. Three patients (12%) in the LTS group had positive margin status, and two patients (8%) had positive lymph node status. Unsurprisingly, the median survival for the control group versus the LTS group was 16 months versus not reached (P < 0.01). CONCLUSION The lack of difficulty in matching the two groups confirmed that patients of the LTS group did not have an exclusive tumour pattern. TNM classification is outdated because it did not influence adjuvant therapies and did not include two crucial factors: tumour biology and tumour response to chemo/radio therapies.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Predictors of survival following pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) are well described for pancreatic cancers but are less detailed in ampullary (AC), bile duct (BDC) and duodenal cancers (DC). We therefore sought to evaluate the long-term results of PD for AC, BDC and DC, and to determine for each tumour the predictive factors of survival. METHODS Medical charts of patients operated on between 2001 and 2011 were retrospectively reviewed. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to determine predictors of survival. RESULTS One hundred thirty-five patients were identified. Mean follow-up was 47 ± 33 months. Median survival was not reached for DC and was 66 and 24 months for AC and BDC, respectively. Two-year and five-year survival rates were 80 and 51% for DC and 69 and 51% for AC, respectively. BDC had a significantly poorer prognosis, with two-year and five-year survival rates of 51 and 34%, respectively. Predictors of survival were weight loss, N stage and International Union Against Cancer (UICC) stage for AC, T stage and resection margin status for BDC and N stage for DC. CONCLUSION AC, BDC and DC display distinctive predictors of survival related to the biological aggressiveness. Preoperative malnutrition worsens the prognosis. The effect of adapted nutritional management on the survival improvement has to be studied.

Abstract
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is an extraordinarily lethal disease, which, despite a more or less efficient chemotherapeutic treatment, systematically displays a rapid and uncontrolled progression towards a fatal recurrence. Determining which cells give rise to such tumor recurrence is thus crucial before an improved therapeutics outcome can be envisaged for patients with PDAC. In this regard, we recently reported that following a standard chemotherapy for PDAC, a heterogeneous subpopulation of CD44+ cells proliferates and is responsible for tumor recurrence, as shown by almost all recurrent tumor cells becoming CD44+. We designed a strategy to eliminate these cells based on a weekly administration of an anti-CD44 monoclonal antibody to human PDAC-derived xenografts in mice. We demonstrate that xenografts, which were unresponsive to gemcitabine treatment, are however sensitive to this strategy. In conclusion, CD44 represents an efficient therapeutic target in patients with recurrent PDAC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the accuracy of pre-operative staging in patients with peripheral pancreatic cystic neoplasms (pPCNs). METHODS From 2005 to 2011, 148 patients underwent a pancreatectomy for pPCNs. The pre-operative examination methods of computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) were compared for their ability to predict the suggested diagnosis accurately, and the definitive diagnosis was affirmed by pathological examination. RESULTS A mural nodule was detected in 34 patients (23%): only 1 patient (3%) had an invasive pPCN at the final histological examination. A biopsy was performed in 79 patients (53%) during EUS: in 55 patients (70%), the biopsy could not conclude a diagnosis; the biopsy provided the correct and wrong diagnosis in 19 patients (24%) and 5 patients (6%), respectively. A correct diagnosis was affirmed by CT, EUS and pancreatic MRI in 60 (41%), 103 (74%) and 80 (86%) patients (when comparing EUS and MRI; P = 0.03), respectively. The positive predictive values (PPVs) of CT, EUS and MRI were 70%, 75% and 87%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Pancreatic MRI appears to be the most appropriate examination to diagnose pPCNs accurately. EUS alone had a poor PPV. Mural nodules in a PCN should not be considered an indisputable sign of pPCN invasiveness.

Abstract
It has been commonly found that in patients presenting Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC), after a period of satisfactory response to standard treatments, the tumor becomes non-responsive and patient death quickly follows. This phenomenon is mainly due to the rapid and uncontrolled development of the residual tumor. The origin and biological characteristics of residual tumor cells in PDAC still remain unclear. In this work, using PDACs from patients, preserved as xenografts in nude mice, we demonstrated that a residual PDAC tumor originated from a small number of CD44+ cells present in the tumor. During PDAC relapse, proliferating CD44+ cells decrease expression of ZEB1, while overexpressing the MUC1 protein, and gain morphological and biological characteristics of differentiation. Also, we report that CD44+ cells, in primary and residual PDAC tumors, are part of a heterogeneous population, which includes variable numbers of CD133+ and EpCAM+ cells. We confirmed the propagation of CD44+ cells in samples from cases of human relapse, following standard PDAC treatment. Finally, using systemic administration of anti-CD44 antibodies in vivo, we demonstrated that CD44 is an efficient therapeutic target for treating tumor relapse, but not primary PDAC tumors. We conclude that CD44+ cells generate the relapsing tumor and, as such, are themselves promising therapeutic targets for treating patients with recurrent PDAC.

Abstract
A major impediment to the effective treatment of patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is the molecular heterogeneity of this disease, which is reflected in an equally diverse pattern of clinical outcome and in responses to therapies. We developed an efficient strategy in which PDAC samples from 17 consecutive patients were collected by endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration or surgery and were preserved as breathing tumors by xenografting and as a primary culture of epithelial cells. Transcriptomic analysis was performed from breathing tumors by an Affymetrix approach. We observed significant heterogeneity in the RNA expression profile of tumors. However, the bioinformatic analysis of these data was able to discriminate between patients with long- and short-term survival corresponding to patients with moderately or poorly differentiated PDAC tumors, respectively. Primary culture of cells allowed us to analyze their relative sensitivity to anticancer drugs in vitro using a chemogram, similar to the antibiogram for microorganisms, establishing an individual profile of drug sensitivity. As expected, the response was patient dependent. We also found that transcriptomic analysis predicts the sensitivity of cells to the five anticancer drugs most frequently used to treat patients with PDAC. In conclusion, using this approach, we found that transcriptomic analysis could predict the sensitivity to anticancer drugs and the clinical outcome of patients with PDAC.

Abstract
Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a disease with a great heterogeneity in the response to treatments. To improve the responsiveness to treatments there are two different approaches, the first one consist to develop new and more efficient drugs that intent to cure all patients and the second one is to use already-approved drugs, alone or in combination, but selecting beforehand the most sensitive patients. In this work we explored the efficiency of the second possibility. We developed a collection of 17 PDAC samples collected by Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Fine-Needle Aspiration (EUS-FNA) or surgery and preserved as xenografts and as primary cultures. This collection was characterized at molecular level by a transcriptomic analysis using an Affymetrix approach. In this paper we present data demonstrating that a subgroup of PDAC responds to low doses of 5-aza-dC. These tumors show a specific RNA expression profile that could serve as a marker, but there is no correlation with Dnmt1, Dnmt3A or Dnmt3B expression. Responder tumors corresponded to well-differentiated samples and longer survival patients. In conclusion, we present data obtained with the well-known drug 5-aza-dC as a proof of concept that a drug that seems to be inefficient in solid tumors in general could be applicable to a particular subgroup of patients with PDAC.

Abstract
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) is a critical health issue in the field of cancer, with few therapeutic options. Evidence supports an implication of the intratumoral microenvironment (stroma) on PDA progression. However, its contribution to the role of neuroplastic changes within the pathophysiology and clinical course of PDA, through tumor recurrence and neuropathic pain, remains unknown, neglecting a putative, therapeutic window. Here, we report that the intratumoral microenvironment is a mediator of PDA-associated neural remodeling (PANR), and we highlight factors such as 'SLIT2' (an axon guidance molecule), which is expressed by cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), that impact on neuroplastic changes in human PDA. We showed that 'CAF-secreted SLIT2' increases neurite outgrowth from dorsal root ganglia neurons as well as from Schwann cell migration/proliferation by modulating N-cadherin/β-catenin signaling. Importantly, SLIT2/ROBO signaling inhibition disrupts this stromal/neural connection. Finally, we revealed that SLIT2 expression and CAFs are correlated with neural remodeling within human and mouse PDA. All together, our data demonstrate the implication of CAFs, through the secretion of axon guidance molecule, in PANR. Furthermore, it provides rationale to investigate the disruption of the stromal/neural compartment connection with SLIT2/ROBO inhibitors for the treatment of pancreatic cancer recurrence and pain.

Abstract
Gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs) raise difficult therapeutic problems despite the emergence of targeted therapies. Somatostatin analogs (SSA) remain pivotal therapeutic drugs. However, the tachyphylaxis and the limited antitumoral effects observed with the classical somatostatin 2 (sst2) agonists (octreotide and lanreotide) led to the development of new SSA, such as the pan sst receptor agonist pasireotide. Our aim was to compare the effects of pasireotide and octreotide on cell survival, chromogranin A (CgA) secretion, and sst2 phosphorylation/trafficking in pancreatic NET (pNET) primary cells from 15 tumors. We established and characterized the primary cultures of human pancreatic tumors (pNETs) as powerful preclinical models for understanding the biological effects of SSA. At clinically relevant concentrations (1-10 nM), pasireotide was at least as efficient as octreotide in inhibiting CgA secretion and cell viability through caspase-dependent apoptosis during short treatments, irrespective of the expression levels of the different sst receptors or the WHO grade of the parental tumor. Interestingly, unlike octreotide, which induces a rapid and persistent partial internalization of sst2 associated with its phosphorylation on Ser341/343, pasireotide did not phosphorylate sst2 and induced a rapid and transient internalization of the receptor followed by a persistent recycling at the cell surface. These results provide the first evidence, to our knowledge, of striking differences in the dynamics of sst2 trafficking in pNET cells treated with the two SSAs, but with similar efficiency in the control of CgA secretion and cell viability.

Abstract
Cancer cachexia syndrome is observed in 80% of patients with advanced-stage cancer, and it is one of the most frequent causes of death. Severe wasting accounts for more than 80% in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer. Here we wanted to define, by using an microarray approach and the Pdx1-cre;LSL-Kras(G12D) ;INK4a/arf(fl/fl) mice model, the pathways involved in muscle, liver, and white adipose tissue wasting. These mice, which develop systematically pancreatic cancer, successfully reproduced many human symptoms afflicted with this disease, and particularly cachexia. Using the profiling analysis of pancreatic cancer-dependent cachectic tissues we found that Jak2/Stat3 pathways, p53 and NFkB results activated. Thus, our interest was focused on the Jak2 pathways because it is pharmacologically targetable with low toxicity and FDA approved drugs are available. Therefore, Pdx1-cre;LSL-Kras(G12D) ;INK4a/arf(fl/fl) mice were treated with the Jak2 inhibitor AG490 compound daily starting at 7 weeks old and for a period of 3 weeks and animals were sacrificed at 10 weeks old. Body weight for control mice was 27.84 ± 2.14 g, for untreated Pdx1-cre;LSL-Kras(G12D) ;INK4a/arf(fl/fl) was 14.97 ± 1.99 g, whereas in animals treated with the AG490 compound the weight loss was significantly less to 24.53 ± 2.04 g. Treatment with AG490 compound was efficient since phosphorylation of Jak2 and circulating interleukin-6 (IL6) levels were significantly reduced in cachectic tissues and in mice respectively. In conclusion, we found that Jak2/Stat3-dependent intracellular pathway plays an essential role since its pharmacological inhibition strongly attenuates cachexia progression in a lethal transgenic pancreatic cancer model.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The role of extended resections in the management of advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs) is not well defined. METHODS Between 1995 and 2012, 134 patients with PNET underwent isolated (isoPNET group: 91 patients) or extended pancreatic resection (synchronous liver metastases and/or adjacent organs) (advPNET group: 43 patients). RESULTS The associated resections included 27 hepatectomies, 9 vascular resections, 12 colectomies, 10 gastrectomies, 4 nephrectomies, 4 adrenalectomies, and 3 duodenojejunal resections. R0 was achieved in 41 patients (95%) in the advPNET. The rates of T3-T4 (73 vs 16%; p < .0001) and N+ (35 vs 13%; p = .007) were higher in the advPNET group. Mortality (5 vs 2%) and major morbidity (21 vs 19%) rates were similar between the 2 groups. The 5-year overall survival (OS) of the series was 87% in the isoPNET group and 66% in the advPNET group (p = .006). Only patients with both locally advanced disease and liver metastases showed worse survival (p = .0003). The advPNET group developed recurrence earlier [disease-free survival (DFS) at 5 years: 26 vs 81%; p < .001]. In univariate analysis, negative prognostic factors of survival were: poor degree of differentiation (p < .001), liver metastasis (p = .011), NE carcinoma (p < .001), and resection of adjacent organs (p = .013). The multivariate analysis did not highlight any factor that influenced OS. In multivariate analysis independent DFS factors were a poor degree of differentiation (p = .03) and the European Neuroendocrine Tumor Society stage (p = .01). CONCLUSIONS An aggressive surgical approach for locally advanced or metastatic tumors is safe and offers long-term survival.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Duodenal GISTs represent 3-5% of all GISTs with limited understanding of patient outcomes. We conducted a retrospective analysis of primary localized duodenal GISTs. METHODS Patients were identified via a survey from 16 FSG centers (n = 105), and a group of 9 patients enrolled in the BFR14 trial. Data were collected from the original database and patient files, in agreement with French legislation. RESULTS 114 patients were included, with a median age of 57. Tumors originated mainly in D2 (33%), or D3 (24%), with a median size of 5 cm. 109 patients had resection of the primary tumor; with a Local Resection (LR, n = 82), a pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD, n = 23), and data were missing for 4 patients. Resections were R0 (n = 87, 79%), R1 (n = 8, 7%), R2 (n = 6). Tumor characteristics were: KIT+ (n = 104), CD34+ (n = 58). Miettinen risk was low (n = 43), and high (n = 52). Imatinib was administered preoperatively (n = 11) and post-operatively (n = 20). With a median follow-up of 36 months (2-250), 98 patients are alive, and 33 relapsed. The 5-year OS and EFS rates are 86.5% and 54.5%. EFS was similar for patients in the LR and the PD groups (P > 0.05). In multivariate analysis, ECOG PS, and CD34 expression are independent prognostic factors on OS. Miettinen risk and spindle cell type are independent predictive factors for relapse. CONCLUSIONS Patients with resected duodenal GIST have a reasonably favorable prognosis. This study favors a preservation of pancreas when there are no anatomical constraints. LR exhibit similar survival and smaller morbidity then PD.

Abstract
Isolated pancreatic metastasis from malignant melanoma (IPMMM) is rare because most melanoma patients already have a widespread disease at diagnosis. No adjuvant systemic treatment is known to be efficient in this setting. Experience with pancreatic resection for IPMMM is limited and controversial. We report here the case of an IPMMM patient successfully treated by pancreaticoduodenectomy with a prolonged survival of 6 years.

Abstract
We hypothesized that inhibiting molecules that mediate the adaptation response to cellular stress can antagonize the resistance of pancreatic cancer cells to chemotherapeutic drugs. Toward this end, here, we investigated how VMP1, a stress-induced autophagy-associated protein, modulate stress responses triggered by chemotherapeutic agents in PDAC. We find that VMP1 is particularly over-expressed in poorly differentiated human pancreatic cancer. Pharmacological studies show that drugs that work, in part, via the endoplasmic reticulum stress response, induce VMP1 expression. Similarly, VMP1 is induced by known endoplasmic reticulum stress activators. Genetic inactivation of VMP1 using RNAi-based antagonize the pancreatic cancer stress response to antitumoral agents. Functionally, we find that VMP1 regulates both autophagy and chemotherapeutic resistance even in the presence of chloroquin, ATG5 or Beclin 1 siRNAs, or a Beclin 1-binding VMP1 mutant. In addition, VMP1 modulates endoplasmic reticulum stress independently of its coupling to the molecular and cellular autophagy machinery. Preclinical studies demonstrate that xenografts expressing an inducible and tractable form of VMP1 show increased resistance to the gemcitabine treatment. These results underscore a novel role for VMP1 as a potential therapeutic target for combinatorial therapies aimed at sensitizing pancreatic cancer cells to chemotherapeutic agents as well as provide novel molecular mechanisms to better understand this phenomenon.

Abstract
We report a case of cardiac rhabdomyosarcoma, with initial clinical features of "atrial rhythmic dysfunction", which was concluded as a mediastinal tumor by computed tomography (CT) scan. Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) and EUS-FNA (fine needle aspiration) were initially conducted to diagnose the isolated mediastinal mass. In this case, EUS re-assessed the previous diagnosis as a cardiac tumor, and the patient eventually achieved a 17-month survival rate after chemotherapy. In this paper, EUS findings obtained in our case are described and a review of literatures is briefly discussed. We also describe the advantages and limitations of this technique compared with other image diagnosis alternatives.
