Immunosuppressive myeloid signaling and distinct malignant cell states in pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors revealed by single-nucleus RNA-seq

ABSTRACT: Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNET) are rare and heterogeneous neoplasms with increasing incidence worldwide. Currently, there is no clinically-relevant molecular framework for risk-stratifying patients with PNET. In this study, we used single-nucleus RNA-sequencing to uncover the spectrum of malignant cell states and interactions within the tumor microenvironment. We uncovered a gene expression program enriched in neural/synaptic signaling genes associated with aggressive clinical behavior, altered telomeres, and broad chromosomal loss of heterozygosity. Moreover, it is associated with worse overall survival in independent cohorts. Another novel malignant cell state was enriched for VEGF-signaling and found to interact with macrophages via glutamate, promoting an immunosuppressive phenotype in macrophages and a more invasive phenotype in malignant cells. This study provides insight into the heterogeneity of malignant cells in PNET, and these diverse cell states and intercellular interactions that may be further explored for prognostication and therapeutic targeting.

caArray_golub-00460: Prediction of central nervous system embryonal tumour outcome based on gene expression

Project description:Embryonal tumours of the central nervous system (CNS) represent a heterogeneous group of tumours about which little is known biologically, and whose diagnosis, on the basis of morphologic appearance alone, is controversial. Medulloblastomas, for example, are the most common malignant brain tumour of childhood, but their pathogenesis is unknown, their relationship to other embryonal CNS tumours is debated, and patients' response to therapy is difficult to predict. We approached these problems by developing a classification system based on DNA microarray gene expression data derived from 99 patient samples. Here we demonstrate that medulloblastomas are molecularly distinct from other brain tumours including primitive neuroectodermal tumours (PNETs), atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumours (AT/RTs) and malignant gliomas. Previously unrecognized evidence supporting the derivation of medulloblastomas from cerebellar granule cells through activation of the Sonic Hedgehog (SHH) pathway was also revealed. We show further that the clinical outcome of children with medulloblastomas is highly predictable on the basis of the gene expression profiles of their tumours at diagnosis. golub-00460 Assay Type: Gene Expression Provider: Affymetrix Array Designs: Hu6800 Organism: Homo sapiens (ncbitax) Material Types: synthetic_RNA, organism_part, whole_organism, total_RNA Disease States: synthetic_RNA, organism_part, whole_orMedulloblastoma, renal rhabdoid tumor, Atypical Teratoid/Rhabdoid Tumor, Supratentorial PNET, Supratentorial PNET (pineoblastoma), Normal, Malignant Glioma, Extrarenal Rhabdoid Tumorganism, total_RNA

Single-cell RNA sequencing of bladder Ewing sarcoma

Project description:Bladder Ewing sarcoma/primitive neuroectodermal tumor (bladder ES/PNET) is a rare and highly malignant tumor associated with a poor prognosis, yet its underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study employed a combination of single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) analyses to delve into the pathogenesis of bladder ES/PNET. The investigation revealed the presence of specialized types of epithelial cells (referred to as bladder ES-Epi) and mast cells (referred to as bladder ES-Mast) within bladder ES/PNET in comparison to urothelial carcinoma. Notably, TNFRSF12A exhibited significant upregulation in bladder ES/PNET. Furthermore, mast cells possessed the ability to activate epithelial cells through the TNFSF12-TNFRSF12A ligand-receptor signaling pattern. This activation mechanism appears to contribute to the progression of bladder ES/PNET.

Genotype profiling of a primitive neuroectodermal tumour identifies a non-constitutive chr19q13.41 amplicon

Project description:Primitive neuro-ectodermal tumours (PNET) of the supratentorial region are rare, highly malignant embryonal brain tumours affecting young children. Although supratentorial PNET (sPNET) are histologically similar to infratentorial PNET/medulloblastoma, sPNET have more aggressive clinical phenotypes, which suggest sPNET represents distinct biological entities. In contrast to considerable progress in understanding the signalling pathways involved in medulloblastoma, little is known about sPNET pathogenesis. Here we identify a focal amplicon on chr19q13.41 that houses two polycistronic microRNA clusters. Functional analysese indicates that the microRNA clusters may promote oncogenesis in part by modulating cell survival. Copy number analysis was also performed on an overlapping set of PNET tumours, also available on GEO with accession code GSE14087. Keywords: single nucleotide polymorphism array, pediatric brain cancer

Viral-Track integrated single-cell RNA-sequencing reveals HBV lymphotropism and immunosuppressive microenvironment in HBV-associated hepatocellular carcinoma

Project description:The tumor microenvironment (TME) is a crucial mediator of tumor progression and treatment response. Here, we compare the immune microenvironments of HBV and non-HBV-HCC and investigate the reason for the persistence of HBV infection in the liver. We combine the Viral-Track method with single-cell RNA sequencing and profile the transcriptomes of 71,466 cells from HBV and non-HBV-HCC patients. In addition to hepatocytes and macrophages, HBV transcripts were also detected in T and B cells using the Viral-Track method, confirming the HBV-lymphotropic nature for the first time in scRNA-sequencing data. HBV-HCC tumors have reduced levels of CD4+ Tregs, NK, macrophages, dendritic cells (DCs), and increased malignant hepatocytes compared with non-HBV tumors. Notably, we explicitly reported the enrichment of metallothioneins (MTs), particularly MT1G expression in HBV-related HCC TAMs, which was associated with a worse prognosis. HBV-tumor-infiltrated CD8+ T cells exhibited a cytotoxic dysfunctional T cell phenotype, characterized by upregulated MDK and CTLA4 expression and reduced IFN-γ production, unlike the non-HBV-HCC. Additionally, HBV-HCC exhibited immunosuppressive ligand-receptor interactions, whereas non-HBV-HCC exhibited antitumor ligand-receptor interactions. Our comprehensive understanding of the HBV HCC ecosystem by viral-track integrated scRNA sequencing analysis provides deeper insights into immune evasion mechanisms and HBV lymphotropism associated with viral persistence.

Single-cell RNA-sequencing of peripheral neuroblastic tumors reveals an aggressive transitional cell state at the junction of an adrenergic-mesenchymal transdifferentiation trajectory

Project description:Peripheral neuroblastic tumors (PNTs) are the most common extracranial solid tumors in early childhood. They represent a spectrum of neural crest derived tumors including neuroblastoma, ganglioneuroblastoma and ganglioneuroma. PNTs exhibit heterogeneity due to interconverting malignant cell states described as adrenergic/nor-adrenergic or mesenchymal/neural crest cell in origin. The factors determining individual patient levels of tumor heterogeneity, their impact on the malignant phenotype, and the presence of other cell states are unknown. Here, single-cell RNA-sequencing analysis of cells from 10 PNTs demonstrated extensive transcriptomic heterogeneity. Examination of PNT microenvironments showed that neuroblastomas contained low immune cell infiltration, high levels of non-inflammatory macrophages, and low cytotoxic T lymphocyte levels compared with more benign PNT subtypes. Trajectory modelling showed that malignant neuroblasts move between adrenergic and mesenchymal cell states via a novel state that we termed a “transitional” phenotype. Transitional cells are characterized by gene expression programs linked to a sympathoadrenal development, and aggressive tumor phenotypes such as rapid proliferation and tumor dissemination.

Expression profiling of primitive neuroectodermal tumours

Project description:Primitive neuro-ectodermal tumours (PNET) of the supratentorial region are rare, highly malignant embryonal brain tumours affecting young children. Although supratentorial PNET (sPNET) are histologically similar to infratentorial PNET/medulloblastoma, sPNET have more aggressive clinical phenotypes, which suggest sPNET represents distinct biological entities. In contrast to considerable progress in understanding the signalling pathways involved in medulloblastoma, little is known about sPNET pathogenesis. We utilized the Illumina Human-6 v2 Expression BeadChip platform to define pathways dysregulated in sPNET pathogenesis. Copy number analysis was also performed on an overlapping set of PNET tumours, also available on GEO with accession code GSE14087.

Genotype profiling of primitive neuroectodermal tumours (250K_Nsp_SNP and 250K_Sty_SNP)

Project description:Primitive neuro-ectodermal tumours (PNET) of the supratentorial region are rare, highly malignant embryonal brain tumours affecting young children. Although supratentorial PNET (sPNET) are histologically similar to infratentorial PNET/medulloblastoma, sPNET have more aggressive clinical phenotypes, which suggest sPNET represents distinct biological entities. In contrast to considerable progress in understanding the signalling pathways involved in medulloblastoma, little is known about sPNET pathogenesis. Prior low resolution CGH (comparative genomic hybridization) studies indicate sPNET have frequent genomic imbalances and copy number aberrations (CNAs). To define genes involved in sPNET pathogenesis, we utilized the Affymetrix 250K Nsp SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) analysis to identify genes targeted by recurrent CNAs in primary human sPNET samples. Copy number analysis was conducted on 39 primary PNET samples. Select target genes were validated by genomic and/or RT-PCR. Our analysis revealed frequent CNA across the sPNET genome, encompassing large and focal chromosome segments, and corroborated previous reports that isochromosome 17q, an abnormality found in ~ 30% of medulloblastoma, is rare in sPNET.
