PCSI_microenvironments - samples

ABSTRACT: Intratumoral heterogeneity is a critical frontier in understanding how the tumor microenvironment (TME) propels malignant progression. Here, we deconvolute the human pancreatic TME through large-scale integration of histology-guided regional multiOMICs with clinical data and patient-derived preclinical models. We discover subTMEs, histologically definable tissue states anchored in fibroblast plasticity, with regional relationships to tumor immunity, subtypes, differentiation, and treatment response. Reactive subTMEs rich in complex but functionally coordinated fibroblast communities were immune-hot and inhabited by aggressive tumor cell phenotypes. The matrix-rich deserted subTMEs harbored less activated fibroblasts and tumor- suppressive features yet were markedly chemoprotective and enriched upon chemotherapy. SubTMEs originated in fibroblast differentiation trajectories and transitory states were notable both in single cell transcriptomics and in situ. The intratumoral co-occurrence of subTMEs produced patient-specific phenotypic and computationally predictable heterogeneity tightly linked to malignant biology. Therefore, heterogeneity within the plentiful, notorious pancreatic TME is not random but marks fundamental tissue organizational units.

Spatially confined sub-tumor microenvironments orchestrate pancreatic cancer pathobiology

Project description:Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains resistant to most treatments and demonstrates a complex pathobiology. Here, we deconvolute regional heterogeneity in the human PDAC tumor microenvironment (TME), a long-standing obstacle, to define precise stromal contributions to PDAC progression. Large scale integration of histology-guided multiOMICs profiling with clinical data sets and functional in vitro models uncovered two microenvironmental programs in PDAC that were anchored in fibroblast differentiation states. These sub-tumor microenvironments (subTMEs) co-occurred intratumorally and were spatially confined, producing patient-specific cellular and molecular heterogeneity associated with shortened patient survival. Each subTME was uniquely structured to support discrete aspects of tumor biology: reactive regions rich in activated fibroblast communities were immune-hot and promoted aggressive tumor progression while deserted regions enriched in extracellular matrix supported tumor differentiation yet were markedly chemoprotective. In conclusion, PDAC regional heterogeneity derives from biologically distinct reactive and protective TME elements with a defined, active role in PDAC progression.

Microenvironment Shapes Small Cell Lung Cancer Neuroendocrine States and Presents Unique Therapeutic Opportunities

Project description:Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) is the most fatal form of lung cancer. Intra-tumoral heterogeneity, marked by neuroendocrine (NE) and non-neuroendocrine (non-NE) cell states, defines SCLC, but the drivers of SCLC plasticity are poorly understood. To map the landscape of SCLC tumor microenvironment (TME), we apply spatially resolved transcriptomics and quantitative mass spectrometry-based proteomics to metastatic SCLC tumors obtained via rapid autopsy. The phenotype and overall composition of non-malignant cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME) exhibits substantial variability, closely mirroring the tumor phenotype, suggesting TME-driven reprogramming of NE cell states. We identify cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAF) as a crucial element of SCLC TME heterogeneity, contributing to immune exclusion, and predicting an exceptionally poor prognosis. Together, our work provides the first comprehensive map of SCLC tumor and TME ecosystems, emphasizing their pivotal role in SCLCs adaptable nature, opening possibilities for re-programming the intercellular communications that shape SCLC tumor states.

Intratumoral heterogeneity of prostate cancers

Project description:Copy number analyses of regionally separated intratumoral biopsies of prostate cancers. Intratumoral heterogeneity (ITH) leads to regional biases of the mutational landscape in a single tumor and may influence the single biopsy-based clinical diagnosis and treatment decision. To evaluate the extent of ITH in unifocal prostate cancers (PCAs) that had not been sought, we analyzed multiple regional biopsies from three PCAs using DNA copy number analyses. DNA copy number showed ITH including regional biases in the presentation of a well-known driver of TMPRSS2-ERG fusion. Our analyses identified a substantial level of genetic ITH in unifocal PCAs at the genomic levels, which should be taken into account for the curation of biomarkers in the clinical setting. Four intratumoral biopsies were obtained per tumor for three prostate cancers. Radical prostatectomy tissue from three patients with prostate cancers were obtained. Board-certified pathologists reviewed the hematoxylin&eosin stained sections and identified tumor-rich regions (> 80% purity). We selected four different areas for biopsy that were at least 5mm apart and were comprised of the most common Gleason pattern (the most common histologic patterns with minimal histologic differences). Copy number profiling was performed using Agilent 180K platform according to the manufacturer's protocol.

The Landscape of Tumor Cell States and Ecosystems in Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma [scVDJ-seq]

Project description:Biological heterogeneity in diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is partly driven by cell-of-origin subtypes and associated genomic lesions, but also by diverse cell types and cell states in the tumor microenvironment (TME). However, dissecting these cell states and their clinical relevance at scale remains challenging. Here, we implemented EcoTyper, a machine learning framework integrating transcriptome deconvolution and single-cell RNA sequencing, to characterize clinically relevant DLBCL cell states and ecosystems. Using this approach, we identified five cell states of malignant B cells that vary in prognostic associations and differentiation status. We also identified striking variation in cell states for 12 other lineages comprising the TME and forming cell-state interactions in stereotyped ecosystems. While cell-of-origin subtypes have distinct TME composition, DLBCL ecosystems capture clinical heterogeneity within existing subtypes and extend beyond cell-of-origin and genotypic classes. These results resolve the DLBCL microenvironment at unprecedented resolution and identify opportunities for therapeutic targeting (https://ecotyper-stanford-edu.stanford.idm.oclc.org/lymphoma).

Multiregional sampling of primary glioblastoma specimens

Project description:Glioblastoma (GBM), the most common malignant tumor originating in the brain remains incurable with few treatment advances despite decades of investigation. Treatment failure is often attributed to intratumoral heterogeneity, which fosters tumor evolution and selection of resistant clones. However, intratumoral heterogeneity and tumor evolution remain poorly understood in GBM as studies are typically based on single tissue biopsies and lack spatial context. Here, we have utilized pre-operative MRI scans and intra-operative 3-D surgical neuronavigation for 10 primary IDH-WT GBM patients to acquire 103 tissue samples that represent maximal tumor diversity and are mapped by 3-D spatial coordinates. We combine insights from deconvolution of GBM transcriptomes and chromatin landscapes with single-cell analysis to assess intratumoral heterogeneity of each program at the cellular level and to distinguish neuronal, glial, and immune programs aberrantly active in tumor cells from their counterparts in normal cells. Collectively, these data provide unprecedented insight into GBM intratumoral heterogeneity and evolution from single-cell to whole-tumor 3D spatial resolution, redefining current understanding and providing a rich resource of targets for therapeutic investigation.

Expression data from human pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas by stroma types

Project description:Pancreatic cancer is characterized by abundant desmoplastic stroma. Despite numerous theoretical and experimental efforts, therapeutic approaches targeting pancreatic cancer stroma have been largely unsuccessful, highlighting the need for more comprehensive assessment of inter- and intratumoral stromal heterogeneity in a large series of clinical tumors. Quantitative computation of FAP-dominant fibroblasts, ACTA2-dominant fibroblasts, and intratumoral collagen in whole-tissue sections from 215 treatment-naïve pancreatic cancers allowed us to identify three distinct stroma types (FAP-dominant fibroblast-rich stroma [F-stroma], ACTA2-dominant fibroblast-rich stroma [A-stroma], and collgen-rich stroma [C-stroma]), which were differentially associated with patient outcomes, molecular characteristics and the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. We explored differentially expressed genes between three distinct stroma types (F-stroma, A-stroma, and C-stroma) using frozen samples from 20 patients with pancreatic cancer.

IL-33 provision by reprogrammed tumor fibroblastic stromal cells promotes local T cell activity and facilitates melanoma eradication

Project description:The tumor microenvironment (TME) is a complex mixture of tumor cells, immune cells, endothelial cells and fibroblastic stroma cells (FSC). While cancer-associated fibroblasts are generally seen as a tumor-promoting entity, it is conceivable that distinct FSC populations within the TME contribute to immune-mediated tumor control. Here, we show that intra-tumoral injection of a recombinant LCMV-based vaccine vector (r3LCMV) expressing the melanocyte differentiation antigen TRP2 results in T cell-dependent eradication of melanomas. Analysis of the TME revealed that viral vector transduction precipitates activation of particular FSC subsets. Using single-cell RNA-seq analysis, we identified a Cxcl13-expressing FSC population with a pronounced immune-stimulatory signature and increased expression of the inflammatory cytokine IL-33. Genetic ablation of Il33 in Cxcl13-Cre+ FSC impeded functionality of intratumoral T cells and consequently tumor control. Thus, reprogramming of distinct FSC subsets in the TME through LCMV-based vectors efficiently promotes tumor eradication by locally sustaining the activity of tumor-specific T cells.
