Popis: To optimize neoadjuvant radiochemotherapy of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), the value of new irradiation modalities such as proton therapy needs to be investigated in relevant preclinical models. We studied individual treatment responses to RCT using patient-derived PDAC organoids (PDO). Four PDO lines were treated with gemcitabine, 5-fluorouracile (5FU), photon and proton irradiation and combined RCT. Therapy response was subsequently measured via viability assays. In addition, treatment-naive PDOs were characterized via whole exome sequencing and tumorigenicity was investigated in NMRI Foxn1nu/nu mice. We found a mutational pattern containing common mutations associated with PDAC within the PDOs. Although we could unravel potential complications of the viability assay for PDOs in radiobiology, distinct synergistic effects of gemcitabine and 5FU with proton irradiation were observed in two PDO lines that may lead to further mechanistical studies. We could demonstrate that PDOs are a powerful tool for translational proton radiation research.
