Single-cell RNA sequencing reveals that the immunosuppression in landscape induced by chronic stress in colorectal cancer

ABSTRACT: The high prevalence of depressive disorders in individuals with cancer and their contribution to tumour progression is a topic that is gradually gaining attention. Recent evidence has shown that there are prominent connections between immune gene variants and mood disorders. The ho_x0002_meostasis of the tumour immune microenvironment (TIME) and the infiltration and activation of immune cells play a very important role in the antitumour effect. In this study, we established a compound mouse model with chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) and orthotopic colorectal cancer to simulate colorectal cancer (CRC) patients with depression. Using 10✕Genomics single_x0002_cell transcriptome sequencing technology, we profiled nearly 30,000 cells from tumour samples of 8 mice from the control and CUMS groups, revealed that immune cells in tumours under a chronic stress state trend toward a more immunosuppressive and exhaustive status, and described the crosstalk between the overall inflammatory environment and immunosuppressive landscape to provide mechanistic information or efficacious strategies for immune-oncology treatments in CRC with depressive disorders.
