In a specific embodiment of the invention, the samples include the human pancreatic adenocarcinoma cell line SW1990-LUC and the mouse pancreatic adenocarcinoma cell line Pan02-LUC, the human pancreatic adenocarcinoma cell line SW1990-LUC being purchased from the Xuan-Biotechnology service center (Shanghai, china) and cultured in RPMI-1640 medium (8122269, gibco). The mouse pancreatic cancer cell line Pan02-LUC was purchased from IMMOCELL (Xiamen, fujian, china) and cultured on Dulbecco's modified Eagle's Medium (DMEM; 11965092, gibco).
In one embodiment of the present invention, indocyanine green (ICG, dandong beneficial wound pharmaceutical company, china) was selected as the photosensitizer for PTT, which has good biosafety and has been approved for clinical use by the FDA. 808 A laser light source (MDL-H-808 nm-2W-13040029, vincristine industry photoelectric technology Co., ltd.) PTT was used by China semiconductor Co., ltd, china, and the output power density was set to 1W cm -2. The ICG group cells and PTT group cells were incubated with ICG (100. Mu.g mL -1) at 37℃for 6 h. Washed three times with PBS, normal medium was added, and then irradiated for 5min with or without near infrared laser (λ=808 nm, 1W cm -2).
In some embodiments, the expression data for caspasae-1 substrates can be detected by applying methods well known in the art. For example, caspasae-1 substrate expression level data can be obtained by measuring the amount of RNA, mRNA, or any other RNA species using methods well known in the art to obtain expression at the nucleic acid level, including digital PCR and real-time (RT) quantitative or semi-quantitative PCR, fluorescence Activated Cell Sorting (FACS), and in situ hybridization.
In other embodiments, the expression level data for caspasae-1 substrates may also be obtained by measuring expression levels at the protein level, including quantitative proteomics techniques based on mass spectrometry, immunoassays, western blots, spectrophotometry, enzymatic assays, ultraviolet light assays, kinetic assays, electrochemical assays, colorimetric assays, turbidimetry assays, atomic absorption assays, flow cytometry, mass spectrometry, or any combination thereof.
In a specific example of the present invention, the following manner was used to obtain the expression levels of cleaved GSDMD, IL-18, IL-1β. The expression level of GSDMD was detected by Western blotting, the cells were washed with cold PBS, lysed in IP buffer (20 mM pH7.5 Tris, 150mM NaCl, 1% Triton X-100), and the protease inhibitor Cocktail (Beyotime Biotechnology, china) was added. Total cellular proteins were extracted and protein concentrations were determined using the BCA method (P0012, beyotime Biotechnology, china). Equal amounts of protein were separated by SDS-PAGE, transferred to PVDF membrane (Millipore, billerica, mass., USA) and probed with anti-DFNA 5/GSDME antibody (1:1000,ab215191,Abcam,Cambridge, CB, 0AX, UK), anti-caspase-3 antibody (1:1000,9662,Cell Signaling Technology, danvers, MA, USA), anti-GSDMD antibody (1:1000, YT7991, immunoway Biotechnology, plano, TX, USA), anti-caspase-1 antibody (1:1000,2225,Cell Signaling Technology), anti-p-IRF 3 antibody (1:1000, 4947, CST) and anti-beta-Actin antibody (1:1000, HX1827, china Huaxing organism). The ratio of the enzyme-labeled secondary antibody to the recognized mouse and rabbit IgG is 1:5000. Immunoblots used ECL reaction systems and gel imaging systems (Tanon, china). The release of mature IL-1 beta and IL-18 from cell culture supernatants was detected using an IL-1 beta ELISA kit (EH 001) and an IL-18 ELISA kit (EH 047). According to the manufacturer's instructions. Absorbance measurements were performed using a microplate reader (Bio-Rad Laboratories, USA) at a wavelength of 450 nm and a calibration wavelength of 655 nm.
In one embodiment of the invention, we demonstrate that PTT is capable of inducing the occurrence of focal death in pancreatic cancer cells. We used near infrared light (808 nm) to illuminate the ICG treated SW-1990-LUC and Pan02-LUC cells to see if PTT induced apoptosis. First we studied the conditions of PTT and the temperature rise curves corresponding to different concentrations of ICG. The results show that when the ICG solution concentration is 100 μg mL -1 and the irradiation power density is 1W cm -2, the temperature can be maintained at 42-48 ℃. Thereafter, different sets of SW-1990-LUC and Pan02-LUC cell morphologies were observed. After 5min of irradiation, the PTT group observes typical morphological characteristics of cell death such as cell swelling, large bubbles on plasma membrane and the like, which suggests that PTT causes cell death. After PTT we also recorded the real-time morphological changes of SW-1990-LUC cells (FIG. 6 a). The ability of PTT to dynamically induce apoptosis in vitro was evaluated using the coke-death index. As shown in FIG. 6b, the percentage of apoptotic cells of the PTT treated SW-1990-LUC cells increased significantly over time. As previously mentioned, cell death (pyro-death) by perforation of the cell membrane is an effective combination of apoptosis and necrosis, occurring at a much faster rate than other programmed cell death. The release of Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) was detected using SW-1990-LUC and Pan02-LUC cell supernatants. As shown in fig. 6c, LDH release was much higher in PTT group SW-1990-LUC cells than in the blank group (25.25% vs. 6.55%; n=3; p < 0.0001) and ICG group (25.25% vs. 8.75%; n= 3;P =0.0001). Similar results were also obtained in Pan02-luc cells (fig. 6 d), with PTT group LDH release significantly higher than in the blank group (22.81% vs. 4.70%; n=3; p < 0.0001) and ICG group (22.81% vs. 8.24%; n=3; p < 0.0001). Together, these results demonstrate that PTT induces coke death in pancreatic cancer cell lines.
In another embodiment of the invention, we demonstrate that PTT-triggered focal death is dependent on the caspase-1/GSDMD pathway. According to current studies of the focal death pathway, the most common pathways for focal death are the GSDMD-dependent classical inflammatory body pathway and the GSDME-dependent non-classical pathway. Thus, we studied the expression and cleavage patterns of GSDMD and GSDME in post-PTT pancreatic cancer cell lines. Both GSDMA, GSDMB, GSDMC, GSDMD and GSDME were detected by RT-qPCR in SW-1990-LUC cells, with GSDMD expressed in significantly higher amounts than GSDMA (p=0.0002), GSDMB (P < 0.0001), GSDMC (P < 0.0001) and GSDME (P < 0.0001). Next, as shown in FIG. 6e, full lengths of GSDMD and GSDME (GSDMD-fl and GSDME-fl) were detected in both SW-1990-LUC cells. PTT group GSDMD-fl expression levels were reduced compared to the blank and ICG groups, while the lytic GSDMD (GSDMD-n) expression levels were significantly increased. No difference in GSDME-fl expression was observed between the three groups, and no cleavage was detected GSDME (GSDME-n). These data indicate that GSDMD was cleaved instead of GSDME in post-PTT pancreatic cancer cells.
GSDMD have been identified as specific substrates for caspasae-1. Western blotting detects caspase-1 expression and cleavage. As shown in FIG. 6e, cleaved caspase-1 was detected only in the PTT group, indicating that caspase-1 was cleaved in pancreatic cancer cells after PTT. To further analyze the role of caspase-1 in PTT-triggered apoptosis, we applied a caspase-1 selective inhibitor VX-765 prior to PTT. As shown in fig. 6f, g, after VX-765 pretreatment, the coke death index of 60min after PTT was significantly reduced (79.77% vs. 7.77%, p=0.0008). These results confirm that caspase-1 is involved in PTT-induced pancreatic cancer pyro-death.
In the GSDMD-dependent classical inflammatory body pathway, cleaved caspase-1 activates not only GSDMD, but also inflammatory cytokines IL-18 and IL-1β, after which mature IL-18 and IL-1β are cleared from the cells. Therefore, the content of mature IL-18 and IL-1β in cell supernatants is also an indicator of the caspase-1/GSDMD pathway. In this study, the concentration of IL-18 and IL-1β in the cell supernatants of the PTT group was significantly higher than in the blank and ICG groups (FIG. 6h, i). The above results indicate that PTT-triggered apoptosis is dependent on the caspase-1/GSDMD pathway.
102, Processing data, namely inputting the expression data of the caspasae-1 substrate into a constructed PTT evaluation model, wherein the PTT evaluation model predicts the treatment effect of PTT on pancreatic cancer patients based on the expression data of the caspasae-1 substrate;
In some embodiments of the invention, methods of constructing a PTT evaluation model are known to those skilled in the art, and the step of correlating the level of expression of caspasae-1 substrates with a certain likelihood or risk may be implemented and realized in different ways.
In the context of the present invention, the term "machine learning" refers to the use of a computer to simulate or implement human learning activities, and the skilled person typically builds an algorithmic model of machine learning using different development tools. The development tools include, but are not limited to, tensorFlow, SCIKIT LEARN, pyTorch, openNN, rapidMiner, azure machine learning 、Apache Mahout、Shogun、KNIME、Vertex AI、H2Oai、Anaconda、Keras、Tableau、Fast.ai、Catalyst、Amazon ML、MLJAR、Spell. algorithm models including, but not limited to, linear regression models, logistic regression models, lasso regression models, ridge regression models, linear discriminant analysis models, neighbor models, decision tree models, perceptron models, neural network models, support vector machine models, naive bayes models, adaBoost models, GBDT models, XGBoost models, lightGBM models, catBoost models, or random forest models.
In one embodiment, after the PTT evaluation model is built, ROC curve analysis can be used to evaluate the performance of the model.
ROC curves are graphs of true positive rate (sensitivity) of the test versus false positive rate (100% -specificity) of the test. Useful for characterizing the performance of a particular feature when distinguishing between two populations. Typically, feature data is selected across the entire population in ascending order based on the values of individual features. Then, for each value of the feature, the true and false positive rates of the data are calculated. The true positive rate is determined by counting the number of cases above the value of the feature and dividing by the total number of cases. False positive rates were determined by counting the number of controls above the value of the feature and dividing by the total number of controls. Although the definition refers to the case where the characteristic is increased in the case compared to the control, the definition also applies to the case where the characteristic is lower in the case compared to the control (in this case, a sample below the value of the characteristic will be counted). The ROC curve may be generated with respect to individual features and may be generated with respect to other individual outputs, for example, a combination of two or more features may be mathematically combined (e.g., added, subtracted, multiplied, etc.) to provide an individual sum value, and the individual sum value may be plotted in the ROC curve. In addition, any combination of features, the combination of which results from separate output values, may be plotted in the ROC curve.

FIG. 3 is a flow chart of a method for predicting susceptibility of pancreatic cancer patients to chemotherapeutic agents according to the present invention.
301, Acquiring data and expression data of GSDMD in a pancreatic cancer patient sample;
In one embodiment of the invention, we analyzed the correlation of GSDMD expression levels with the response of clinically used 5-fluorouracil, irinotecan, paclitaxel, gemcitabine, and cisplatin 5 pancreatic cancer therapeutic drugs. As shown in FIG. 7a, GSDMD gene expression correlated positively with the resistance of pancreatic cancer cell lines to 5-fluorouracil, irinotecan, paclitaxel, cisplatin, but not with the drug response to gemcitabine. These results indicate that over-expression of GSDMD in pancreatic cancer may indicate increased resistance to chemotherapy.
In another embodiment of the invention we have established that patient-derived organoids are validated. The patient-derived organoids were established by immersing tumor tissue in a transfer medium immediately after dissection at a temperature of 4 ℃. After thorough washing with wash buffer (KS 100121, daxiang Biotech), the washed tissue was minced and bound to a dissociating agent (KS 100123, daxiang Biotech). After digestion, cells were collected, suspended and filtered. The resulting filtrate was centrifuged to collect the cells, which were then resuspended in pancreatic cancer organoids medium (OC 100138, daxiang Biotech) and 3D matrix (DatrixGelTM, daxiang Biotech). The cell suspension was inoculated into 24-well plates for organoid culture. All organoid models routinely detect mycoplasma. H & E staining and WES staining validation was performed with tumor tissue and PDO. PDO was established using GSDMD differentially expressed tumor tissues, designated PDO a and PDO B, respectively. Thereafter, we examined 5-fluorouracil drug sensitivity using patient-derived organoids and found higher PDO a IC 50 and higher GSDMD expression (fig. 7 d). These results indicate GSDMD is a biomarker for predicting the sensitivity of pancreatic cancer patients to chemotherapeutic drugs.
