PG - 599-626 LID - j.issn.2095-3941.2023.0039 [pii] LID - 10.20892/j.issn.2095-3941.2023.0039 [doi] AB - OBJECTIVE: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a highly malignant gastrointestinal cancer with a 5-year survival rate of only 9%. Of PDAC patients, 15%-20% are eligible for radical surgery. Gemcitabine is an important chemotherapeutic agent for patients with PDAC; however, the efficacy of gemcitabine is limited due to resistance. Therefore, reducing gemcitabine resistance is essential for improving survival of patients with PDAC. Identifying the key target that determines gemcitabine resistance in PDAC and reversing gemcitabine resistance using target inhibitors in combination with gemcitabine are crucial steps in the quest to improve survival prognosis in patients with PDAC. METHODS: We constructed a human genome-wide CRISPRa/dCas 9 overexpression library in PDAC cell lines to screen key targets of drug resistance based on sgRNA abundance and enrichment. Then, co-IP, ChIP, ChIP-seq, transcriptome sequencing, and qPCR were used to determine the specific mechanism by which phospholipase D1 (PLD1) confers resistance to gemcitabine. RESULTS: PLD1 combines with nucleophosmin 1 (NPM1) and triggers NPM1 nuclear translocation, where NPM1 acts as a transcription factor to upregulate interleukin 7 receptor (IL7R) expression. Upon interleukin 7 (IL-7) binding, IL7R activates the JAK1/STAT5 signaling pathway to increase the expression of the anti-apoptotic protein, BCL-2, and induce gemcitabine resistance. The PLD1 inhibitor, Vu0155069, targets PLD1 to induce apoptosis in gemcitabine-resistant PDAC cells. CONCLUSIONS: PLD1 is an enzyme that has a critical role in PDAC-associated gemcitabine resistance through a non-enzymatic interaction with NPM1, further promoting the downstream JAK1/STAT5/Bcl-2 pathway. Inhibiting any of the participants of this pathway can increase gemcitabine sensitivity. CI - Copyright (c) 2023 Cancer Biology & Medicine.
