概括
高危清细胞脏细胞癌 (ccRCC) 瘤已经耗尽了免疫细胞,不利于免疫疗法. 空间转录学揭示了这些瘤是免疫原的,但对免疫检查点抑制剂 (ICI) 没有反应.
科学领域:
- 在瘤学瘤学.
- 免疫学 免疫学 免疫学
- 基因组学就是基因组学.
背景情况:
- 对高风险清细胞细胞癌 (ccRCC) 的外科手术免疫检查点抑制剂 (ICI) 试验产生了不一致的患者结果.
- 这表明瘤微环境 (TME) 免疫细胞组成和空间组织可能不利于ICI治疗.
研究的目的:
- 通过空间转录学来定义ccRCC TME中的免疫类型.
- 在ccRCC中识别与治疗反应相关的预测性免疫细胞特征.
主要方法:
- 空间转录组学测序 (ST-seq) 在新鲜的副瘤 (pTME),低级 (LG) 和高级 (HG) ccRCC组织样本上进行.
- 使用参考单细胞RNA和T细胞受体测序数据集确定了免疫细胞类型和状态 (耗尽/前瘤与不耗尽/抗瘤).
主要成果:
- 高度ccRCCTMEs表现出丰富的耗尽/前瘤免疫细胞,而没有增加常见检查点 (PD-1,PD-L1,CTLA4) 或血管基因的表达.
- 独特的HG TME特征包括表达HAVCR2和LAG3的亲瘤单细胞,具有干状原始基因表达的耗尽的CD8+ T细胞,以及表达TREM2的亲瘤巨/单细胞.
结论:
- 这项研究提供了人类ccRCC最大的ST-seq数据集,揭示了高风险ccRCCTMEs中的耗尽/前瘤免疫类型.
- 尽管具有免疫性,但HG ccRCC TMEs的特征是免疫细胞状态不有利于免疫检查点抑制剂治疗.

The Tumor Microenvironment
6.7K
Every normal cell or tissue is embedded in a complex local environment called stroma, consisting of different cell types, a basal membrane, and blood vessels. As normal cells mutate and develop into cancer cells, their local environment also changes to allow cancer progression. The tumor microenvironment (TME) consists of a complex cellular matrix of stromal cells and the developing tumor. The cross-talk between cancer cells and surrounding stromal cells is critical to disrupt normal tissue...

Tumor Immunotherapy
554
Immunotherapy is a treatment that boosts or manipulates the immune system to fight diseases, including cancer. For instance, by stimulating an immune response through vaccinations against viruses that cause cancers, like hepatitis B virus and human papillomavirus, these diseases can be prevented. Nonetheless, some cancer cells can avoid the immune system due to their rapid mutation and division. The immune response to many cancers involves three phases: elimination, equilibrium, and escape.
