Reconstituting development of pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia from primary human pancreas duct cells

Abstract

Models of human pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PanIN) development do not exist. Here, the authors induce oncogenicKRAS and mutations in CDKN2A, SMAD4 and TP53in primary human pancreatic cells to generate a PanIN model that recapitulates molecular and pathologic features of native PanINs.
