Early lung carcinogenesis and tumor microenvironment observed by single-cell transcriptome analysis
With the increasing interest in health screening with chest CT Ground-glass nodule (GGN) has become one of the common lung lesions encountered in daily medical practice. Because lung adenocarcinoma in the form of GGN is an ideal model for studying early lung carcinogenesis, 11 GGN and normal lung sp...

With the increasing interest in health screening with chest CT Ground-glass nodule (GGN) has become one of the common lung lesions encountered in daily medical practice. Because lung adenocarcinoma in the form of GGN is an ideal model for studying early lung carcinogenesis, 11 GGN and normal lung specimens from 6 never smoker patients were studied by single-cell RNA sequencing. Lung cancer cells showed enrichment of gene sets related to small vesicle processing and surfactant homeostasis compared to non-malignant lung epithelial cells, suggesting the dysregulation of surfactant pathway may be involved in early lung carcinogenesis. Along with cancer-associated fibroblasts showing enrichment of gene sets involved in negative regulation of protein kinase activity and negative regulation of endothelial cell proliferation, tumor microenvironment (TME) was dominated by infiltration of TNFRSF4+/TNFRSF18+/CTLA4+ regulatory T cells (Treg) and depletion of CD8+ cytotoxic T cells (TC) and γδTC.
