Spatial transcriptome profiling of pancreatic cancer identifies multicellular dynamics associated with neoadjuvant treatment


ABSTRACT: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a highly lethal and treatment-refractory cancer. Molecular stratification in pancreatic cancer remains rudimentary and does not yet inform clinical management or therapeutic development. Here we construct a high-resolution molecular landscape of the multicellular subtypes and spatial communities that compose PAC using single-nucleus RNA-seq and whole-transcriptome digital spatial profiling (SP) of 43 primary PDAC tumor specimens that either received neoadjuvant therapy or were treatment-naïve. We uncovered expression programs across malignant cells and fibroblasts, including a newly-identified neural-like progenitor malignant cell program that was enriched after chemotherapy and radiotherapy and associated with poor prognosis in independent cohorts. Integrating spatial and cellular profiles revealed three multicellular communities: classical, squamoid-basaloid, and treatment-enriched. Our refined molecular and cellular taxonomy can advance precision oncology in PAC through stratification in clinical trials and as roadmap for therapeutic targeting of specific cellular phenotypes and multicellular interactions.
