We present the first integrated single-cell and dual-platform, spatial-proteotranscriptomic atlas of oral tissues, profiling >250,000 single-cell transcriptomes and >4 million spatially-resolved cells across 13 niches. Using our AI-enabled AstroSuite (TACIT, Constellation, STARComm, hist2omics), we defined tissue cellular neighborhoods (TCNs) and multicellular interaction modules (MCIMs) in health, revealing peri-epithelial fibroblast-centered hubs enriched for effector cytokines. We harmonized eight fibroblast subtypes (universal, immune, peri-epithelial, peri-vascular, peri-neural, APC-like, stress-responsive, and myofibroblasts) with stress-responsive subtypes partitioning between mucosae (Type I) and glands (Type II). Spatial multiomics mapped spatially recurrent receptor–ligand programs and identified mucosal stress-responsive fibroblasts as putative immunoregulatory hubs. In chronic periodontitis, niche-aware integration of healthy and diseased datasets revealed rewiring of fibroblast phenotypes and ligand::receptor networks into interdigitated inflammatory and reparative niches. Disease neighborhoods exhibited fragmentation, expansion of MHC-I⁺, MHC-II⁺, and PD-L1⁺ fibroblasts, and predicted spatial engagement with T cells at ectopic lymphoid structures. Drug2Cell analysis highlighted druggable stromal::immune networks. Together, this proteotranscriptomic atlas positions fibroblasts as central architects of structural immunity in human oral tissues and establishes a scalable framework for precision targeting of stromal::immune ecosystems across other barrier organs in health and chronic disease.","dates":{"publication":"2026/05/20"},"accession":"GSE317219","cross_references":{"GSM":["GSM9467177","GSM9467178"],"GPL":["30173"],"GSE":["317219"],"taxon":["Homo sapiens"],"PMID":["[42147490]"]}}
