Detection of mutant KRAS and TP53 DNA in circulating exosomes from healthy individuals and patients with pancreatic cancer
Open accessAbstract
Pancreatic cancer presents with a dismal mortality rate and is in urgent need of methods for early detection with potential for timely intervention. All living cells, including cancer cells, generate exosomes. We previously discovered double stranded genomic DNA in exosomes derived from the circulation of pancreatic cancer patients, which enabled the detection of prevalent mutations associated with the disease. Here, we report a proof-of-concept study that demonstrates the potential clinical utility of circulating exosomal DNA for identification of KRASG12D and TP53R273H mutations in patients with pancreas-associated pathologies, including pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), chronic pancreatitis (CP) and intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN), and in healthy human subjects. In 48 clinically annotated serum samples from PDAC patients, digital PCR analyses of exosomal DNA identified KRASG12D mutation in 39.6% of cases, and TP53R273H mutation in 4.2% of cases. KRASG12D and TP53R273H mutations were also detected in exosomal DNA from IPMN patients (2 out of 7 with KRASG12D, one of which also co-presented with TP53R273H mutation). Circulating exosomal DNA in 5 out of 9 CP patients enabled the detection of KRASG12D mutation. In 114 healthy subject-derived circulating exosomal DNA, 2.6% presented with KRASG12D mutation and none with TP53R273H mutation. This study highlights the value of circulating exosomal DNA for a rapid, low-cost identification of cancer driving mutations. The identification of mutations in IPMN patients and healthy subjects suggests that liquid biopsies may allow potential assessment of cancer risk but with a cautionary note that detection of clinical cancer cannot be assumed.

Liquid biopsy using circulating cfDNA is valuable for diagnosis and monitoring in pancreatic cancer.
“In pancreatic cancer, liquid biopsy using circulating cfDNA proves valuable for diagnosis and monitoring.”
From Significance of TP53, CDKN2A, SMAD4 and KRAS in Pancreatic Cancer (2024) · cites this paper as [30]
The Discussion says emerging studies suggest circulating cfDNA could be used for cancer diagnosis and monitoring, and it reports mutation detection in pancreatic cancer patients. But the claim's 'proves valuable' is stronger than that tentative statement: this paper tests exosomal DNA, does not establish cfDNA's clinical value for monitoring pancreatic cancer, and cautions that detecting a mutation does not necessarily signify disease.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
