Single-cell RNA sequencing reveals the characteristics of cerebrospinal fluid tumour environment in breast cancer and lung cancer leptomeningeal metastases.

ABSTRACT: Leptomeningeal metastases (LM) occur in patients with breast cancer (BC) and lung cancer (LC) showing exceptionally poor prognosis. The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) tumour microenvironment (TME) of LM patients is not well defined at a single-cell level. Based on the 10× genomics single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data from GEO database including five patient-derived CSF samples of BC-LM and LC-LM, and four patient-derived CSF samples of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) as controls, we analysed single-cell transcriptome characteristics of CSF TME in LM patients compared to controls simultaneously and comprehensively. In addition, we performed 10× genomics scRNA-seq on CSF cells derived from a BC-LM patient to help generate a solid conclusion. The CSF macrophages in LM patients sh
