Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) originates from the interaction of inflammation and oncogenic Kras-mutation. We compare regeneration in wild type and Kras transgenic mice after pancreatitis on a histological and transcriptional level. We show that pancreatic regeneration in wild type is a three phasic process. In contrast, oncogenic Kras-signaling perpetuates an inflammatory state. Strict temporal control of proliferative waves in mesenchymal, progenitor-like and acinar cells is lost, and uncoordinated proliferation leads to changes in cellular microenvironment.
