Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Genomics
  • Cell Biology

Background:

  • Localized prostate cancers exhibit heterogeneity and multifocality, with current prognostic methods focusing on epithelium and neglecting the tumor microenvironment (TME).
  • Understanding the TME's cellular landscape is crucial for a comprehensive view of prostate cancer pathobiology.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To characterize the heterogeneity of the tumor microenvironment in localized prostate cancer.
  • To identify novel cellular phenotypes and their spatial distribution within the prostate cancer TME.

Main Methods:

  • Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) of cancerous and adjacent-benign prostate cores from 24 patients.
  • Integration of copy-number variation and transcriptional signatures for epithelial cell classification.
  • Spatial transcriptomics to determine the anatomic distribution of identified fibroblast populations.

Main Results:

  • Classification of epithelial cells across a malignant spectrum revealed widespread molecular perturbation and patient-unique/shared luminal states, suggesting luminal dedifferentiation.
  • Identification of an expansion of club cell phenotypes.
  • Discovery of a perineural fibroblast population and elucidation of cancer-associated fibroblast distribution within the TME.

Conclusions:

  • This study provides a comprehensive cellular reference for localized prostate cancer, advancing the understanding of its pathobiology.
  • The findings highlight the importance of the TME's cellular heterogeneity in prostate cancer progression.
  • The identification of specific fibroblast populations offers potential new avenues for therapeutic strategies.
