A shortcoming of many genetic models of PDAC is the lack of neoantigen burden and limited T cell infiltrate. The goal of the present study was to develop clinically relevant models of PDAC by inducing cancer neoantigens in KP2, a cell line derived from the KPC model of PDAC. KP2 was treated with oxaliplatin and olaparib (OXPARPi), and a resistant cell line was subsequently cloned to generate multiple genetically distinct cell lines (KP2-OXPARPi clones). Clones A and E are sensitive to immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI), exhibit relatively high T cell infiltration, and have significant upregulation of genes involved in antigen presentation, T cell differentiation, and chemokine signaling pathways. Clone B is resistant to ICI and is similar to the parental KP2 cell line in terms of relatively low T cell infiltration and no upregulation of genes involved in the pathways noted above. Tumor/normal exome sequencing and in silico neoantigen prediction confirms successful generation of cancer neoantigens in the KP2-OXPARPi clones and the relative lack of cancer neoantigens in the parental KP2 cell line. Neoantigen vaccine experiments demonstrate that a subset of candidate neoantigens are immunogenic and neoantigen synthetic long peptide vaccines can restrain Clone E tumor growth. Compared to existing models, the KP2-OXPARPi clones better capture the diverse immunobiology of human PDAC and may serve as models for future investigations in cancer immunotherapies and strategies targeting cancer neoantigens in PDAC.","journal":"Cancer Immunology Immunotherapy","year":2023,"id":378614,"datarank":0.16479184330021646,"base_score":1.0986122886681096,"endowment":1.0986122886681096,"self_citation_contribution":0.16479184330021646,"citation_network_contribution":0.0,"self_endowment_contribution":0.16479184330021646,"citer_contribution":0.0,"corpus_percentile":null,"corpus_rank":null,"citation_count":2,"citer_count":0,"citers_with_citation_signal":0,"citers_with_endowment":0,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"is_dataset":false,"is_dataset_confidence":0.9328,"is_data_producer":false,"deposit_databanks":null,"is_oa":true,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"has_version_chain":false,"published_date":"2023-01-01","fair_score":null,"fair_percentile":null,"algorithm_id":"datarank_citation_only_1hop_v6","ranking_scope":"data_only","authors":[{"id":1090324,"name":"Michael Y.
