中文摘要
染色体外DNA(ecDNA)日益被认为是细胞可塑性的驱动因素,然而其在胰腺导管腺癌(PDAC)治疗适应中的作用仍未得到充分界定。在患者来源的PDAC模型中,我们鉴定出染色体外ABCB1扩增是对paclitaxel和KRAS抑制剂耐药的一种机制,并表明ABCB1拷贝数会随选择压力动态调整。值得注意的是,paclitaxel耐药细胞仍处于快速从头生成ecDNA的预备状态:通过单细胞克隆消除预先存在的ABCB1 ecDNA后,新的、结构上不同的ABCB1 ecDNA迅速出现,表明治疗诱导的分子变化使这些细胞处于形成ecDNA的预备状态。在转移性乳腺癌中,同样观察到紫杉烷相关的ABCB1扩增,并可在游离DNA(cfDNA)中追踪,凸显了超越PDAC的临床相关性。最后,gemcitabine联合治疗抑制了ABCB1 ecDNA的生成,提示对抗ecDNA介导耐药的潜在策略。总之,这些发现证明动态ecDNA调控和可诱导的ecDNA生物发生使快速、可逆的耐药成为可能,为ecDNA靶向联合治疗和纵向监测提供了理论依据。

Extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA) is increasingly recognized as a driver of cellular plasticity, yet its role in therapy adaptation in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains poorly defined. In patient-derived PDAC models, we identify extrachromosomal ABCB1 amplification as a mechanism of resistance to paclitaxel and KRAS inhibitors and show that ABCB1 copy number dynamically adjusts to selective pressure. Notably, paclitaxel-resistant cells remain primed for rapid de novo ecDNA generation: after eliminating pre-existing ABCB1 ecDNA through single-cell cloning, new and structurally distinct ABCB1 ecDNA rapidly emerges, indicating treatment-induced molecular changes that prime these cells for ecDNA formation. In metastatic breast cancer, taxane-associated ABCB1 amplification is likewise observed and can be tracked in cell-free DNA (cfDNA), underscoring clinical relevance beyond PDAC. Finally, gemcitabine co-treatment suppresses ABCB1 ecDNA generation, suggesting potential strategies to counteract ecDNA-mediated resistance. Together, these findings demonstrate that dynamic ecDNA modulation and inducible ecDNA biogenesis enable rapid, reversible drug resistance, providing a rationale for ecDNA-targeted combination therapies and longitudinal monitoring.
