Genetic and chemical ATM inactivation leverages HRDness in human PDAC. (A) Viability assay analysis of olaparib treatment in ATM+/+, ATM+/Δ and ATMΔ/Δ MIA PaCa-2 cells. (B) Schematic representation of viability assay shown in (C). (D) Schematic representation of the subcutaneous assay shown in (E) with treatment administration schedule. (E) Time-dependent development (over the course of 24 days) of subcutaneously engrafted tumours arising from ATM+/Δ MIA PaCa-2 cells treated (dotted line) or not (solid line) with a combination of olaparib (50 mg/kg), VE-822 (20 mg/kg) and, CC-115 (2.5 mg/kg) (PAD, PARPi/ATRi/DNA-PKi). (F) Immunohistochemistry staining for H2AX p-S139 and (G) quantifications of H2AX p-S139-positive cells in resected tumours from subcutaneous assay shown in (E). Scale bars represent 100 µm. (H) Viability assay analysis of olaparib treatment in ATM+/+ MIA PaCa-2 cells treated or not with an ATM inhibitor (AZD0156). (I) Schematic representation of viability assay shown in (J). (J) Viability assay on ATM+/+ MIA PaCa-2 cells treated or not with an ATM inhibitor (AZD0156 or KU-60019) and with varying combinations of olaparib (PARPi), VE-822 (ATRi), and CC-115 (DNA-PKi). White solid lines delimit the area with a cell viability below 70%. (K) Schematic representation of the subcutaneous assay shown in (L) with treatment administration schedule. (L) Time-dependent development (over the course of 25 days) of subcutaneously engrafted tumours arising from ATM+/+ MIA PaCa-2 cells treated or not with PAD as in (E) (respectively, grey and black squares) and/or an ATM inhibitor (2.25 mg/kg AZD0156; respectively, purple and blue triangles). (M) Quantification of tumour weight of resected tumours from subcutaneous assay shown in (L). (N) Immunohistochemistry staining for H2AX p-S139 and O), quantification of H2AX p-S139-positive cells in resected tumours from subcutaneous assay shown in (L). Scale bars represent 100 µm. (P) Body weight progression (over the course of 25 days) of athymic Nude-Foxn1nu mice enrolled in the subcutaneous assay shown in (L). The horizontal red dashed line represents the weight loss ethical endpoint (−20%). Veh, vehicle. **, p<0.01; ***, p<0.001; ****, p<0.0001; a and b, p<0.0001 when compared with ATM+/+ MIA PaCa-2 cells, §, p<0.05 when compared with ATM+/Δ MIA PaCa-2 cells (A).
