Recent Translational Progress • Initial histologic and molecular characterization of precursor lesions • Initial descriptions of mutational profile of pancreatic cancer • Development of GEMMs and patient-derived xenografts (PDX) • Importance of tumor-related stroma, stellate cells, and immunocytes • Recognition of the role of diabetes and obesity in pancreatic cancer risk and survival
Recent Clinical Progress • Initial screening efforts for patients with FPC or known germ-line mutations conferring risk • Understanding the natural history of mucinous cystic neoplasms and development of initial criteria for surgical resection • Recognition that development of targeted agents will require understanding pancreatic cancer cellular heterogeneity • Development and FDA approval of nab-paclitaxel + gemcitabine • Integration of currently available modalities (surgery, radiation, chemotherapy)
Critical Questions - Areas of Greatest Need • Can we identify cohorts of individuals at high risk? • Can we screen patients deemed to be at high risk and identify pre-invasive pathologic precursors or very early cancer? • Can we develop effective systemic therapies?

What are the observations linking alterations in whole-body energy metabolism to pancreatic carcinogenesis?
Pancreatic Cancer Risk and DiabetesGeneral Observations • Pancreatic cancer induces the diabetic state • Patients with new-onset diabetes • 1/125 new onset diabetics develop pancreatic cancer in 2-3 years • Diabetics with recent initiation of insulin • Longstanding (type II) diabetes and insulin resistance influences pancreatic carcinogenesis • Individuals with a history of diabetes >5 years have SRR of 2.0 (95% CI 1.2-3.2) Chari ST, et al.

SummaryWhole-body energy metabolism: Diabetes • New onset (or worsening) diabetes is a risk factor for pancreatic cancer • Patients with long-standing diabetes are also at slightly increased risk • Diabetic patients treated with insulin or insulin secretagogues were at higher risk; metformin-treated patients had a significantly lower risk of pancreatic cancer compared with those who had not taken metformin
Obesity • Overweight and obesity are associated with 14% of all cancer deaths in men and 20% of cancer deaths in women1 • Obesity increases the risk of insulin resistance and overt diabetes2 1Calle EE, et al. N Engl J Med. 2003;348(17):1625-1638. 2Kahn SE, et al. Nature. 2006;444(7121):840-846.
Obesity and Pancreatic Cancer Hospital-Based Case Control Study • Goals: • Examine the impact of excess body weight across life span and risk of pancreatic cancer • Examine the influence of BMI on age of onset of pancreatic cancer • Examine the influence of BMI on patient survival • Design • Case-control study (841 patients and 754 matched controls) • Height and body weight collected by personal interview Li D, et al. JAMA. 2009;301(24):2553-2562.

SummaryWhole-body Energy Metabolism: Obesity • Obesity is closely associated with increased risk and earlier age of onset of pancreatic cancer • Obesity has a negative prognostic impact on survival for all stages of patients with pancreatic cancer
These observations serve to emphasize the important relationship between pancreatic carcinogenesis, and whole-body energy metabolism
What are the cellular genomic and metabolic consequences of hyperglycemia and obesity for pancreatic carcinogenesis?
Cellular Impacts of Nutrient Excess • Insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia • Increased signaling through nutrient sensing signaling pathways • Hexosamine signaling pathway • mTOR signaling pathway • Increased ROS leading to genotoxicity Wellen KE, Thompson CB. Mol Cell.2010;40(2):323-332.

Pancreatic InflammationCritical Mechanistic Link Between KRAS Mutation and Pancreatic Cancer • Activation of KRAS in adult mice does not induce mPanINs and mPDAC • Adult acinar cells are resistant to oncogenic insults • Pancreatitis induces mPanINs and mPDAC in mutant KRAS expressing adult acinar cells • Pancreatic inflammation contributes to mPanIN development by inhibiting oncogene induced senescence • Pancreatic inflammation blocks senescence in human PanINs Guerra C, et al. Cancer Cell. 2007;11(3):291-302.; Guerra C, et al. Cancer Cell. 2011;19(6):728-739.
What are the cellular metabolic consequences of activating KRAS mutations?
KRAS Mutation Metabolic Reprograming • Increased glucose uptake and metabolism (Warburg effect) • Increased GLUT1, HK1, HK2 expression • Differential channeling of glucose intermediates • Hexosamine biosynthetic pathway • Non-oxidative pentose phosphate pathway • Reprograming glutamine metabolism • Increased autophagy • Mitophagy • Increased macropinocytosis Locasale JW, et al. Cell. 2012;149(3):656-670.

Summary • Metabolic alterations leading to hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia activate nutrient sensing pathways and increase ROS contributing to pancreatic carcinogenesis • Obesity is an important risk factor with excess adipose tissue resulting in high levels of circulating adipokines and inflammatory mediators activating many pro-carcinogenic pathways • Epidemiology and mechanistic studies suggest that chronic pancreatic inflammation is a common driver of pancreatic carcinogenesis
Summary • Mutations in KRAS activate canonical cancer-related pathways, but also contribute to extensive metabolic reprograming of pancreatic cancer cells • A greater understanding of these metabolic alterations may lead to novel therapeutic strategies
