Spatial transcriptomic profiling of human pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma using 10x Genomics Visium platform

Listed in NCBI GEO

In this study, we performed spatial transcriptomics (ST) to investigate the gene expression features across one normal pancreatic tissue, PC tissue, adjacent tumor tissue, and tumor stroma using 10x Genomics Visium spatial gene expression platform.

Description

We generated high-quality spatial gene expression profiles combined with histomorphological information, aiming to reveal the spatial heterogeneity of pancreatic cancer microenvironment and identify spatially restricted gene signatures associated with tumor progression.

Sequencing was performed on Illumina NovaSeq 6000 platform, and data processing was conducted using SpaceRanger software with hg38 reference genome. The results revealed that KRT13+FABP5+ malignant cell subpopulation had keratinization characteristics in the tumor tissue. Fibroblasts from adjacent tumor tissue exhibited a tumor-inhibiting role such as “B-cell activation” and “positive regulation of leukocyte activation.” The FGG+CRP+ inflammatory cancer-associated fibroblasts replaced the islets in tumor stroma.

During PC progression, the damage to pancreatic structure and function was heavier in the pancreatic exocrine (AMYA2+PRSS1+) than in the endocrine (INS+GCG+). Our results revealed the spatial heterogeneity of dynamic changes and highlighted the significance of impaired exocrine function in PC.
