Abstrakt: Co-occurrent KRASand TP53mutations define a majority of patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and define its pro-metastatic proclivity. Here, we demonstrate that KRAS-TP53co-alteration is associated with worse survival compared with either KRAS-alone or TP53-alone altered PDAC in 245 patients with metastatic disease treated at a tertiary referral cancer center, and validate this observation in two independent molecularly annotated datasets. Compared with non-TP53mutated KRAS-altered tumors, KRAS-TP53co-alteration engenders disproportionately innate immune-enriched and CD8+T-cell-excluded immune signatures. Leveraging in silico, in vitro, and in vivo models of human and murine PDAC, we discover a novel intersection between KRAS-TP53co-altered transcriptomes, TP63-defined squamous trans-differentiation, and myeloid-cell migration into the tumor microenvironment. Comparison of single-cell transcriptomes between KRAS-TP53co-altered and KRAS-altered/TP53WTtumors revealed cancer cell-autonomous transcriptional programs that orchestrate innate immune trafficking and function. Moreover, we uncover granulocyte-derived inflammasome activation and TNFsignaling as putative paracrine mediators of innate immunoregulatory transcriptional programs in KRAS-TP53co-altered PDAC. Immune subtyping of KRAS-TP53co-altered PDAC reveals conflation of intratumor heterogeneity with progenitor-like stemness properties. Coalescing these distinct molecular characteristics into a KRAS-TP53co-altered “immunoregulatory program” predicts chemoresistance in metastatic PDAC patients enrolled in the COMPASS trial, as well as worse overall survival.
