摘要

Epithelial tumors of the pancreas exhibit a wide spectrum of histologies with varying propensities for metastasis and tissue invasion. The histogenic relationship among these tumor types is not well established; moreover, the specific role of genetic lesions in the progression of these malignancies is largely undefined. Transgenic mice with ectopic expression of transforming growth factor alpha (TGF-α) in the pancreatic acinar cells develop tubular metaplasia, a potential premalignant lesion of the pancreatic ductal epithelium. To evaluate the cooperative interactions between TGF-α and signature mutations in pancreatic tumor genesis and progression, TGFα transgenic mice were crossed onto Ink4a/Arf and/or p53 mutant backgrounds. These compound mutant mice developed a novel pancreatic neoplasm, serous cystadenoma (SCA), presenting as large epithelial tumors bearing conspicuous gross and histological resemblances to their human counterpart. TGFα animals heterozygous for both the Ink4a/Arf and the p53 mutation showed a dramatically increased incidence of SCA, indicating synergistic interaction of these alleles. Inactivation of p16~(Ink4a) by loss of heterozygosity, intragenic mutation, or promoter hypermethylation was a common feature in these SCAs, and correspondingly, none of the tumors expressed wild-type p16~(Ink4a). All tumors sustained loss of p53 or Arf, generally in a mutually exclusive fashion. The tumor incidence data and molecular profiles establish a pathogenic role for the dual inactivation of p16~(Ink4a) and p19~(Arf)-p53 in the development of SCA in mice, demonstrating that p16~(Ink4a) is a murine tumor suppressor. This genetically defined model provides insights into the molecular pathogenesis of SCA and serves as a platform for dissection of cell-specific programs of epithelial tumor suppression.
