Single-cell transcription analysis reveals the tumor origin and heterogeneity of human bilateral renal clear cell carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Bilateral renal clear cell carcinoma (BRCC) is a rare type of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) that accounts for only 1-5% of RCC cases and has a poor clinical prognosis. The origin, tumor microenvironment, cellular molecular features, and intra-tumoral heterogeneity of BRCC are still unclear. We downloaded BRCC single-cell transcriptome sequencing data from the gene expression omnibus database biochip GSE171306, containing 3,575 cells from left-sided clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) and 3,568 cells from right-sided ccRCC, and used a series of R packages for data quality control (QC) and subsequent analysis of BRCC single-cell transcriptome data, including the use of the R packages Seurat and scCancer for cell QC, identification of major cell types, and cell annotation; R package scran fo
