Gene expression profiling of nasopharyngeal carcinoma

ABSTRACT: We retrospectively collected 150 non-metastatic, pretreatment, formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) samples as validation cohort 1. Also, we prospectively collected 32 FFPE samples from NPC patients enrolled in a trial evaluating anti-PD-1 antibody as validation cohort 2. Total RNA was extracted and hybridised to an Affymetrix HTA 2.0 microarray. In this study, we investigated the immune status of the tumour microenvironment (TME) based on gene expression profiles to classify NPC into biologically distinct immune subtypes, and clarify their associations with prognosis and immunotherapy response.

Tumour Heterogeneity and Intercellular Networks of Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma at Single Cell Resolution

Project description:The heterogeneous nature of tumour microenvironment (TME) underlying diverse treatment responses remains unclear in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Here, we profile 176,447 cells from 10 NPC tumour-blood pairs, using single-cell transcriptome coupled with T cell receptor sequencing. Our analyses reveal 53 cell subtypes, including tumour-infiltrating CD8+ T, regulatory T (Treg), and dendritic cells (DCs), as well as malignant cells with different Epstein-Barr virus infection status. Trajectory analyses reveal exhausted CD8+ T and immune-suppressive TNFRSF4+ Treg cells in tumours might derive from peripheral CX3CR1+CD8+ T and naïve Treg cells, respectively. Moreover, we identify immune-regulatory and tolerogenic LAMP3+ DCs. Noteworthily, intensive inter-cell interactions are observed among LAMP3+ DCs, Treg, exhausted CD8+ T, and malignant cells, suggesting potential cross-talks to foster an immune-suppressive niche for the TME. Collectively, our study uncovers the heterogeneity and interacting molecules of the TME in NPC at single-cell resolution, which provide insights into the mechanisms underlying NPC progression and the development of precise therapies for NPC.

Single-cell transcriptomics reveals regulators underlying immune cell diversity and immune subtypes associated with prognosis in nasopharyngeal carcinoma

Project description:Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is an aggressive malignancy with extremely skewed ethnic and geographic distributions. Increasing evidence indicates that targeting the tumour microenvironment (TME) represents a promising therapeutic approach in NPC, highlighting an urgent need to deepen the understanding of the complex NPC TME. Here, we generated single-cell transcriptome profiles for 7,581 malignant cells and 40,285 immune cells from 15 primary NPC tumours and one normal sample. We revealed malignant signatures capturing intratumoural transcriptional heterogeneity and predicting aggressiveness of malignant cells. Diverse immune cell subtypes were identified, including novel subtypes such as CLEC9A+ dendritic cells (DCs). We further revealed transcriptional regulators underlying immune cell diversity, and cell-cell interaction analyses highlighted promising immunotherapeutic targets in NPC. Moreover, we established the immune subtype-specific signatures, and demonstrated that the signatures of macrophages, plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs), CLEC9A+ DCs, natural killer (NK) cells, and plasma cells were significantly associated with improved survival outcomes in NPC. Taken together, our findings represent a unique resource providing in-depth insights into the cellular heterogeneity of NPC TME and highlight potential biomarkers for anticancer treatment and risk stratification, laying a new foundation for the precision therapies in NPC.

Single-cell RNA sequencing defines the interplay between tumor cells, virus and microenvironment in nasopharyngeal carcinoma

Project description:Purpose: While viruses play critival roles in many human malignancies, the influence of virus infection on the tumor microenviroment(TME) and how this impacts disease progression are poorly characterized. Methods: we applied both Smart-seq2 and 10X Genomics chemistry to ~104000 cells from 19 EBV+ NPC patients and 7 nonmalignant nasopharyngeal biopsies. Results: 1. We have defined the complex interplay between tumor cells, virus infection, and the TME at single-cell resolution. 2. An epithelial-immune dual feature of malignant cells was discovered and associated with poor prognosis. 3. Stromal and immune cells in the TME were remodeled by tumor cells and virus infection. 4. EBV gene expression was found to correlate with complement factor expression in malignant cells, which, in turn, mediated T cell modulation and recruitment. 5. We subtyped NPC patients into 5 groups with different prognoses according to their respective TME compositions. Conclusion: Our results provide new insights into the multicellular ecosystem of NPC and offer important clinical implications.

Genome-wide expressing profiling of nasopharyngeal carcinoma primary tumors versus non-cancerous nasopharyngeal tissues.

Project description:To explore differentially expressed genes between nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) primary tumors and non-cancerous nasopharyngeal tissues, 18 NPC tissue samples versus 18 control samples were utilized to perform genome-wide expressing profiling. Consequently, 2992 genes were found to be differentially expressed in NPC tissues relative to the control (FC>2, P<0.05). Among these 2992 genes, uPA was ranked as the top one in all upregulated genes sorted by ascending order of P-value. Moreover, expression of uPAR was also upregulated in NPC tissues with FC=3.34 and P=7.52M-CM-^W105. 18 nasopharyngeal carcinoma primary tumors and 18 non-cancerous nasopharyngeal tissues were used to perform genome-wide expressing profiling. The median ages of patients were 46 (range, 19-77) for NPC patients and 45 (range, 18-78) for the non-cancerous cohort. Almost one third of patients were female. All samples were collected before any anti-cancer treatment.

Comprehensive single-cell sequencing reveals the stromal dynamics and tumor-specific characteristics in the microenvironment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma

Project description:The tumor microenvironment (TME) of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) harbors a heterogeneous and dynamic stromal population. A comprehensive understanding of this tumor-specific ecosystem is necessary to enhance cancer diagnosis, therapeutics, and prognosis. However, recent advances based on bulk RNA sequencing remain insufficient to construct an in-depth landscape of infiltrating stromal cells in NPC. Here we apply single-cell RNA sequencing to 66,627 cells from 14 patients, integrated with clonotype identification on T and B cells. We identify and characterize five major stromal clusters and 36 distinct subpopulations based on genetic profiling. By comparing with the infiltrating cells in the non-malignant microenvironment, we report highly representative features in the TME, including phenotypic abundance, genetic alternations, immune dynamics, clonal expansion, developmental trajectory, and molecular interactions that profoundly influence patient prognosis and therapeutic outcome. The key findings are further independently validated in two single-cell RNA sequencing cohorts and two bulk RNA-sequencing cohorts. In the present study, we reveal the correlation between NPC-specific characteristics and progression-free survival. Together, these data facilitate the understanding of the stromal landscape and immune dynamics in NPC patients and provides deeper insights into the development of prognostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets in the TME.
