For this pilot study, portal venous blood and pancreatic juice samples were collected from 17 patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy for peri-ampullary tumors. Portal vein circulating tumor cells (CTC) were isolated by high-speed fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) and analyzed by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for K-RAS exon 12 mutant gene expression ( K-RASmut). DNA, chromatin, and histone acetylated active chromatin were isolated from pancreatic juice samples by chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and the presence of K-RASmut and other cancer-related gene sequences detected by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and ChIP-Seq. Mutated K-RAS gene was detectable in activated chromatin in pancreatic juice secreted after surgical resection of pancreatic, ampullary and bile duct carcinomas and directly correlated with the number of CTC found in the portal venous blood ( P\u2009=\u2009.0453). ChIP and ChIP-Seq detected acetylated chromatin in peri-ampullary cancer patient juice containing candidate chromatin loci, including RET proto-oncogene, not found in similar analysis of pancreatic juice from non-malignant ampullary adenoma. The presence of active tumor cell chromatin in pancreatic juice after surgical removal of the primary tumor suggests that viable cancer cells either remain or re-emerge from the remnant pancreatic duct, providing a potential source for tumor recurrence and cancer relapse. Therefore, epigenetic analysis for active chromatin in pancreatic juice and portal venous blood CTC may be useful for prognostic risk stratification and potential identification of molecular targets in peri-ampullary cancers.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/2516865719828348","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,2,20]],"date-time":"2019-02-20T10:41:06Z","timestamp":1550659266000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["<i>K-RAS<\/i>\n                    Mutant Gene Found in Pancreatic Juice Activated Chromatin From Peri-ampullary Adenocarcinomas"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Joseph","family":"Reza","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"General Surgery Residency Program, AdventHealth, Orlando, FL, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alvin JO","family":"Almodovar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Translational Research, Cancer Institute, AdventHealth, Orlando, FL, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Milan","family":"Srivastava","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Translational Research, Cancer Institute, AdventHealth, Orlando, FL, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2657-9773","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Paula P","family":"Veldhuis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Surgical Advancement, AdventHealth, Orlando, FL, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Swati","family":"Patel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Surgical Advancement, AdventHealth, Orlando, FL, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Na\u2019im","family":"Fanaian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Diagnostic Pathology, AdventHealth, Orlando, FL, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xiang","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Interventional Endoscopy, AdventHealth, Orlando, FL, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0976-1901","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sally A","family":"Litherland","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Translational Research, Cancer Institute, AdventHealth, Orlando, FL, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J Pablo","family":"Arnoletti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Translational Research, Cancer Institute, AdventHealth, Orlando, FL, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,2,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-2516865719828348","unstructured":"National Comprehensive Cancer Network.
