Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma has a unique tumor microbiome and the systemic depletion of bacteria or fungi using antibiotic/antifungal cocktails leads to a decrease in pancreatic tumor burden in mice. However, functional studies remain rare due to the limited availability of clinically relevant microbiota. Here, we describe in detail the isolation of bacteria and fungi from the small intestine and tumor of pancreatic cancer patients at the Rogel Cancer Center. We then further characterized the impact of a newly isolated Klebsiella oxytoca strain ( UMKO1 ) on the pancreatic tumor microenvironment using bacterial genome sequencing, untargeted and targeted metabolomics, as well as an ex vivo tumor transplant system. We found that UMKO1 possesses a gene for the long form of cytidine deaminase, which can inactivate the standard PDAC chemotherapeutic agent gemcitabine. In addition, we found that UMKO1 can produce several indoles when grown in tumor-like conditions, metabolites that can lead to an immune suppressive environment and interfere with therapy outcome. To test this in detail, we assessed changes in immune populations in pancreatic tumor explants upon exposure to the supernatant of UMKO1 and other isolated bacteria grown in tumor Interstitial fluid media (TIFM). We found that while none of the bacterial supernatants changed the abundance of CD8 T cells, granzyme B positive CD8 T cells were the lowest in tumor explants exposed to UMKO1 , and not other isolated Klebsiella species or the non-pathogenic laboratory strain E. coli K12 . In summary, the isolated collection of bacteria and fungi from this study are a valuable toolbox to study the impact of microbiota on pancreatic cancer. |
