Title Mapping the Complex Ecosystem and Intercellular Crosstalk of Gastric Cancer by Single Cell RNA-seq
Relevance Medical
Data types Transcriptome or Gene expression
Organisms Homo sapiens
Description Complex cellular composition and intercellular interaction networks have been associated with development and progression of several cancers, while gastric cancer (GC) has remained poorly characterized. To dissect characteristics specific to the GC tumor microenvironment, we generated an atlas of 166,533 cells from 10 GC patients with matched normal tissues and blood, profiling epithelial, immune and stromal compartment. This analysis revealed vast cellular phenotypic remodeling in TME, and varying degrees of tumor cell heterogeneity within and between patients. Tumor-associated stromal cells (TASCs) were implicated in epithelial-mesenchymal transition and angiogenesis, and negatively correlated with survival. Clonotype analysis suggested that IL-17+ CD8 T cells can originate from tissue resident memory T cells and differentiate into exhausted T cells. Tumor-associated macrophage and LAMP3+ DC were widely involved in mediating T cell activity, and formed intercellular interaction hubs with TASCs and tumor cells. This work describes the diverse GC ecosystem and suggests new therapeutic strategies.
