More Details: Background & Aims: Although it is well-known that ribosomes are critical for cell function, and their synthesis (known as ribosome biogenesis [RiBi]) is energy-intensive, surprisingly little is known about RiBi in vivo in adult tissue. Methods: Using a mouse model with conditional deletion of Nat10, an essential gene for RiBi and subsequent translation of mRNA, we investigated the effects of RiBi blockade in vivo, with a focus on pancreatic acinar cells during homeostasis and tumorigenesis. Results: We observed an unexpected latency of several weeks between Nat10 deletion and onset of structural and functional abnormalities and p53-dependent acinar cell death. Although deletion of Trp53 rescued acinar cells from apoptotic cell death, Nat10Δ/Δ; Trp53Δ/Δ acinar cells remained morphologically and functionally abnormal. Deletion of Nat10 in acinar cells blocked Kras-oncogene-driven pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, regardless of Trp53 mutation status. Conclusions: Together, our results provide initial insights into how differentiated cells respond to defects in RiBi and translation in vivo in various physiological contexts.
