摘要: 目的 利用胆管癌患者来源类器官(PDOs)吉西他滨(GEM)药敏差异构建耐药转录特征,并验证其生物学一致性与药敏相关性。方法 基于4例胆管癌PDOs转录组及GEM药敏数据,分析Hallmark通路及预排序基因集富集分析(GSEA),构建23基因耐药特征(signature)。在TCGA-CHOL与基因表达综合数据库队列(GSE236894)验证通路相关模式,在CCLE/PharmacoDB数据库评估其与药敏指标的关联,并结合细胞实验进行验证。结果 GEM耐药信号主要富集于细胞周期及E2F靶基因通路。构建的23基因特征在PDOs中与药敏剂量-反应曲线下面积(AUC)正相关;在TCGA及GEO队列中,该特征与增殖标志物(TOP2A、MKI67等)及细胞周期通路活性显著正相关。数据库验证显示,特征分数与GEM药敏曲线上面积重算值(GEM AAC_recomputed)呈显著正相关(ρ=0.149,P<0.001),高特征组耐药程度显著更高。实验证实,该特征相关基因在耐药细胞中维持表达而在敏感细胞中被抑制。结论 本研究构建的23基因特征能稳定反映胆管癌GEM耐药状态,具有良好的生物学可解释性与跨队列泛化能力。

Abstract: Objective To develop a transcriptional signature of gemcitabine (GEM) resistance using patient-derived organoids (PDOs) from cholangiocarcinoma and to validate its biological consistency and predictive relevance. Methods Transcriptomic profiles and drug sensitivity data from four PDOs were collected and analyzed through Hallmark pathway enrichment and pre-ranked GSEA in order to construct a 23-gene resistance signature. The associated pathway patterns were validated in TCGA-CHOL and GSE236894 cohorts, while correlations with drug response metrics were assessed with CCLE and PharmacoDB, complemented by experimental validation in cell models. Results GEM resistance was primarily enriched in cell cycle and E2F target pathways. The 23-gene signature was positively correlated with AUC in PDOs and significantly associated with proliferation markers (e.g., TOP2A, MKI67) and cell cycle activity in independent cohorts. Database analyses further demonstrated a significant positive correlation between the signature score and GEM AAC_recomputed (ρ=0.149, P<0.001), with higher scores which indicated a stronger resistance. Experimental findings confirmed that signature-related genes remained expressed in resistant cells but were suppressed in sensitive cells. Conclusions This signature provides a robust and biologically interpretable indicator of GEM resistance in cholangiocarcinoma, with strong generalizability across datasets.
