Résumé

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a heterogeneous disease with distinct molecular subtypes described as classical/progenitor and basal-like/squamous PDAC. We hypothesized that integrative transcriptome and metabolome approaches can identify candidate genes whose inactivation contributes to the development of the aggressive basal-like/squamous subtype. Using our integrated approach, we identified endosome-lysosome associated apoptosis and autophagy regulator 1 (ELAPOR1/KIAA1324) as a candidate tumor suppressor in both our NCI-UMD-German cohort and additional validation cohorts. Diminished ELAPOR1 expression was linked to high histological grade, advanced disease stage, the basal-like/squamous subtype, and reduced patient survival in PDAC. In vitro experiments demonstrated that ELAPOR1 transgene expression not only inhibited the migration and invasion of PDAC cells but also induced gene expression characteristics associated with the classical/progenitor subtype. Metabolome analysis of patient tumors and PDAC cells revealed a metabolic program associated with both upregulated ELAPOR1 and the classical/progenitor subtype, encompassing upregulated lipogenesis and downregulated amino acid metabolism. 1-Methylnicotinamide, a known oncometabolite derived from S-adenosylmethionine, was inversely associated with ELAPOR1 expression and promoted migration and invasion of PDAC cells in vitro. Taken together, our data suggest that enhanced ELAPOR1 expression promotes transcriptome and metabolome characteristics that are indicative of the classical/progenitor subtype, whereas its reduction associates with basal-like/squamous tumors with increased disease aggressiveness in PDAC patients. These findings position ELAPOR1 as a promising candidate for diagnostic and therapeutic targeting in PDAC.
