Résumé

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a lethal disease, characterized by an intense desmoplastic reaction that compresses blood vessels and limits nutrient supplies. PDAC aggressiveness largely relies on its extraordinary capability to thrive and progress in a challenging tumor microenvironment. Dysregulation of the onco-suppressor miR-15a has been extensively documented in PDAC. Here, we identified the transcription factor Fos-related antigen-2 (Fra-2) as a miR-15a target mediating the adaptive mechanism of PDAC to nutrient deprivation. We report that the IGF1 signaling pathway was enhanced in nutrient deprived PDAC cells and that Fra-2 and IGF1R were significantly overexpressed in miR-15a downmodulated PDAC patients. Mechanistically, we discovered that miR-15a repressed IGF1R expression via Fra-2 targeting. In miR-15a-low context, IGF1R hyperactivated mTOR, modulated the autophagic flux and sustained PDAC growth in nutrient deprivation. In a genetic mouse model, Mir15a
