Single-cell RNA sequencing of metastatic testicular seminoma reveals the cellular and molecular characteristics of metastatic cell lineage


ABSTRACT: Testicular cancer is the most common solid malignancy in young men. Given the many histological classifications of testicular tumours, seminoma is one of the most treatable cancers. The survival rate in early-stage disease was more than 90%. Thus, seminoma at the cellular and molecular levels, especially at the single-cell level, is worth studying. We performed a single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) study on a patient who was diagnosed with testicular seminoma with lymph node metastasis. This study presented tumour tissue, PBMC, pelvic and renal hilus lymph node in a total of 18,206 high-quality single-cell transcriptome information. The characteristics of metastatic cell lineage were revealed by the comparison between different tumour cell subtypes at the scRNA level. A single-cell map of testicular seminoma with lymph node metastasis was constructed by scRNA-seq. We discovered the gene expression characteristics of the tumour cells in testicular seminoma, especially metastatic tumour cells. KRT8 and KRT18 were commonly expressed in the three tumour cell subtypes. However, TCF7L1, SCG3 and SV2C were the specifically expressed genes of tumour cell subtypes in primary tumour sites. Some molecular markers specifically expressed by the metastatic cell lineage, such as POU5F1, were identified. We revealed the molecular characteristics of testicular seminoma at the single-cell level, especially the metastatic tumour cells. This study could provide new insights into the diagnosis and treatment of testicular seminoma.
