Abstract: KRAS mutant pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is characterized by a desmoplasticresponse that promotes hypovascularity, immunosuppression, and resistance to chemo-and immunotherapies. We show that a combination of MEK and CDK4/6 inhibitors thattarget KRAS-directed oncogenic signaling can suppress PDAC proliferation through inductionof retinoblastoma (RB) protein-mediated senescence. In preclinical mouse models ofPDAC, this senescence-inducing therapy produces a senescence-associated secretoryphenotype (SASP) that includes pro-angiogenic factors that promote tumor vascularization,which in turn enhances drug delivery and efficacy of cytotoxic gemcitabine chemotherapy.In addition, SASP-mediated endothelial cell activation stimulates the accumulationof CD8+ T cells into otherwise immunologically “cold” tumors, sensitizing tumors to PD-1checkpoint blockade. Therefore, in PDAC models, therapy-induced senescence can establishemergent susceptibilities to otherwise ineffective chemo- and immunotherapies throughSASP-dependent effects on the tumor vasculature and immune system.
