abstract = {Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a tumour entity
with unmet medical need. To assess the therapeutic potential
of oncolytic virotherapy (OVT) against PDAC, different
oncolytic viruses (OVs) are currently investigated in
clinical trials. However, systematic comparisons of these
different OVs in terms of efficacy against PDAC and
biomarkers predicting therapeutic response are lacking.We
screened fourteen patient-derived PDAC cultures which
reflect the intra- and intertumoural heterogeneity of PDAC
for their sensitivity to five clinically relevant OVs,
namely serotype 5 adenovirus Ad5-hTERT, herpes virus T-VEC,
measles vaccine strain MV-NIS, reovirus jin-3, and
protoparvovirus H-1PV. Live cell analysis, quantification of
viral genome/gene expression, cell viability as well as
cytotoxicity assays and titration of viral progeny were
conducted. Transcriptome profiling was employed to identify
potential predictive biomarkers for response to OV
treatment.Patient-derived PDAC cultures showed individual
response patterns to OV treatment. Twelve of fourteen
cultures were responsive to at least one OV, with no single
OV proving superior or inferior across all cultures. Known
host factors for distinct viruses were retrieved as
potential biomarkers. Compared to the classical molecular
subtype, the quasi-mesenchymal or basal-like subtype of PDAC
was found to be more sensitive to H-1PV, jin-3, and T-VEC.
Generally, expression of viral entry receptors did not
correlate with sensitivity to OV treatment, with one
exception: Expression of Galectin-1 (LGALS1), a factor
involved in H-1PV entry, positively correlated with H-1PV
induced cell killing. Rather, cellular pathways controlling
immunological, metabolic and proliferative signaling
appeared to determine outcome. For instance, high baseline
expression of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) correlated
with relative resistance to oncolytic measles virus, whereas
low cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) expression was associated
with exceptional response. Combination treatment of MV-NIS
with a cGAS inhibitor improved tumour cell killing in
several PDAC cultures and cells overexpressing cGAS were
found to be less sensitive to MV oncolysis.Considering the
heterogeneity of PDAC and the complexity of biological
therapies such as OVs, no single biomarker can explain the
spectrum of response patterns. For selection of a particular
OV, PDAC molecular subtype, ISG expression as well as
activation of distinct signaling and metabolic pathways
should be considered. Combination therapies can overcome
resistance in specific constellations. Overall, oncolytic
virotherapy is a viable treatment option for PDAC, which
warrants further development. This study highlights the need
for personalised treatment in OVT. By providing all primary
data, this study provides a rich source and guidance for
ongoing developments.German National Science Foundation
