Show abstract
Neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy (RCT) is a frequently used treatment regimen for esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC); however, the response varies dramatically, and resistance is a clinical challenge. We aimed to identify the molecular mechanisms underlying RCT resistance. We established a mouse xenograft RCT model with human EAC cell lines representing different response groups, and tested enhanced genomic instability as a potential evolutionary modulator by reducing BRCA2 function. Xenografts that relapsed after RCT displayed upregulation of stress response keratins, including KRT6 and KRT16 connected with a basal-like transcriptomic/ proteomic phenotype. We screened our cohort of 728 patients with EAC and found significantly shorter overall survival for patients with KRT6-high tumors, driven by patients receiving neoadjuvant treatment. Overall, we identified a basal-like cell state in EAC that reflects RCT relapse. The basal-like subtype is a marker of treatment failure, providing a new avenue for translational research to overcome RCT resistance.
