Article Title: | Proteomic basis for pancreatic acinar cell carcinoma and pancreatoblastoma as similar yet distinct entities |
Abstract: | Acinar cell carcinoma (ACC) and pancreatoblastoma (PBL) are rare pancreatic malignancies with acinar differentiation. Proteogenomic profiling of ACC and PBL revealed distinct protein expression patterns compared to pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and benign pancreas. ACC and PBL exhibited similarities, with enrichment in proteins related to RNA processing, chromosome organization, and the mitoribosome, while PDACs overexpressed proteins associated with actin-based processes, extracellular matrix, and immune-active stroma. Pathway activity differences in metabolic adaptation, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, and DNA repair were characterized between these diseases. PBL showed upregulation of Wnt-CTNNB1 and IGF2 pathways. Seventeen ACC-specific proteins suggested connections to metabolic diseases with mitochondrial dysfunction, while 34 PBL-specific proteins marked this pediatric cancer with an embryonic stem cell phenotype and alterations in chromosomal proteins and the cell cycle. This study provides novel insights into the proteomic landscapes of ACC and PBL, offering potential targets for diagnostic and therapeutic development. © The Author(s) 2024. |
