Pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PanIN) lesions are the most common non-invasive precursors of pancreatic adenocarcinoma. We postulated that accumulating DNA damage within the PanIN epithelium activates checkpoint mechanisms. Tissue microarrays were constructed from 81 surgically resected primary pancreatic adenocarcinomas, and an independent set of 58 PanIN lesions (31 PanIN-1, 14 PanIN-2, and 13 PanIN-3). Immunohistochemical labeling was performed using anti- γH2AXSer139, anti-phosphoATMSer1981, anti-phosphoChk2Thr68, and anti-p53. A “histologic score” combining area and intensity of labeling in the nuclear compartment was determined for each lesion. A progressive increase in γH2AXSer139 labeling, consistent with escalating DNA damage, was observed in the non-invasive precursor lesions (scores of 4.34, 6.21, and 7.50, respectively for PanIN-1, -2, and -3), compared to pancreatic ductal epithelium (score 2.36) (ANOVA, P<0.0001). In conjunction, activation of the ATM-Chk2 checkpoint pathway was observed in all histological grades of PanIN lesions. Specifically, pATMSer1981 histologic scores for PanIN-1, PanIN-2, and PanIN-3 were 4.83, 5.14, and 7.17, respectively, versus 2.33 for ductal epithelium (ANOVA, P<0.0001); the corresponding scores for pChk2Thr68 were 5.43, 7.64, and 5.44 in PanINs-1, -2, and -3, respectively, versus 2.75 in ductal epithelium (ANOVA, P<0.0001). In contrast, absent to minimal nuclear p53 was observed in ductal epithelium, and in PanINs-1 and 2 (histologic score of 0-1.86), with a significant upregulation (corresponding to mutational inactivation) seen only at the stage of PanIN-3 and invasive neoplasia (histologic score of 4.00 and 4.22). Nuclear p53 accumulation in cancers was associated with attenuation of the ATM-Chk2 checkpoint and a restitution of “baseline” levels. To conclude, activation of the ATM-Chk2 checkpoint pathway is commonly observed in PanINs, likely in response to the accumulating DNA damage from events such as oncogene mutations and telomere dysfunction. Loss of p53 function appears to be a critical determinant for bypassing this checkpoint and the subsequent progression to invasive adenocarcinoma.
