Pancreatic cancer was the fourth leading cause of cancer death in the United States in 2009. Recurrence of disease following resection occurs due to neoplastic cell survival. To better understand these highly aggressive cells, gene expression microarrays were performed. Using the established lines HPAC and PANC1 and a Matrigel assay, genome expression arrays were performed to analyze patterns between invasive and total cells. Significant increases in the expression of genes related to DNA repair were observed. A number of the same genes also demonstrated an increase in expression when comparing bulk cells to a putative tumor initiating cell (TIC) population. The TIC population was isolated using the spheroid technique, and compared to bulk cells, spheroid cells functionally repair breaks in DNA faster after challenged with the drug gemcitabine. Finally, using Oncomine, we observed a significant increase in DNA copy number of BRCA1 and RAD51 in tissue isolated from metastatic pancreatic cancer compared to tissue isolated from the primary site. From these data we conclude that the most invasive cells within a pancreatic tumor are able to thrive due to their increased genomic stability. These cells have also been linked to the TIC population in a tumor.
