Methods We obtained the global transcriptional profiling of primary PDAC using RNA from eight xenografted primary PDAC three primary PDAC bulk tissues three chronic pancreatitis and three normal pancreatic tissues. The Affymetrix GeneChip HG-U133A was used. The results of the expression profiles were validated applying immunohistochemical and western blot analysis on a set of 34 primary PDAC and 10 established PDAC cell lines. Permissivity to viral vectors used for gene therapy Adenovirus 5 and Adeno-Associated Viruses 5 and 6 was assessed on PDAC cell lines. Results The analysis of the expression profiles allowed the identification of two clearly distinguishable phenotypes according to the expression of interferon-stimulated genes. The two phenotypes could be readily recognized by immunohistochemical detection of the Myxovirus-resistance A protein whose expression reflects the activation of interferon dependent pathways. The two molecular phenotypes discovered in primary carcinomas were also observed among established pancreatic adenocarcinoma cell lines suggesting that these phenotypes are an intrinsic characteristic of cancer cells independent of their interaction with the host s microenvironment.
