Resolving the Difference Between Left-sided and Right-sided Colorectal Cancer by Single-cell Sequencing
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Colorectal cancers (CRCs) exhibit differences in incidence, pathogenesis, molecular pathways and outcome depending on the location of the tumor. The transcriptomes of 27,927 single human CRC cells, from three left-sided and three right-sided CRC patients were profiled by scRNA-seq. Right-sided CRC harbors a significant proportion of exhausted CD8 T cells of a highly migratory nature. One cluster of cells from left-sided CRC exhibiting states preceding exhaustion and a high ratio of “pre-exhausted” to exhausted T cells were favorable prognostic markers. Notably, we identified a novel RBP4+ NTS+ subpopulation of cancer cells that exclusively expands in left-sided CRC. Tregs from left-sided CRC showed higher levels of immunotherapy-related genes than those from right-sided CRC, indicating that left-sided CRC may have increased responsiveness to immunotherapy. Antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP) and antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) induced by M2-like macrophages were more pronounced in left-sided CRC and correlated with a good prognosis in CRC.
