Abstract: Gastric cancer (GC) poses a substantial risk to human health due to its high prevalence and mortality rates. Nevertheless, current therapeutic strategies remain insufficient. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) offers the potential to provide comprehensive insights into GC pathogenesis.To explore the distribution and dynamic changes of cell populations in the GC tumor microenvironment using scRNA-seq techniques.Cancerous tissues and paracancerous tissues were obtained from patients diagnosed with GC at various stages (I, II, III, and IV). Single-cell suspensions were prepared and analyzed using scRNA-seq to examine transcriptome profiles and cell-cell interactions. Additionally, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and flow cytometry were applied for measuring the expression of cluster of differentiation (CD) 2, CD3D, CD3E, cytokeratin 19, cytokeratin 8, and epithelial cell adhesion molecules.Transcriptome data from 73645 single cells across eight tissues of four patients were categorized into 25 distinct cell clusters, representing 10 different cell types. Variations were observed in these cell type distribution. The adjacent epithelial cells in stages II and III exhibited a degenerative trend. Additionally, the quantity of CD4 T cells and CD8 T cells were evidently elevated in cancerous tissues. Interaction analysis displayed a remarkable increase in interaction between B cells and other mast cells in stages II, III, and IV of GC. These findings were further validated through qRT-PCR and flow cytometry, demonstrating elevated T cells and declined epithelial cells within the cancerous tissues.This study provides a comprehensive analysis of cell dynamics across GC stages, highlighting key interactions within the tumor microenvironment. These findings offer valuable insights for developing novel therapeutic strategies.©The Author(s) 2025. Published by Baishideng Publishing Group Inc. All rights reserved.

Abstract: Current fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) studies primarily focus on alcohol's actions on the fetal brain although respiratory infections are a leading cause of morbidity/mortality in newborns. The limited studies examining the pulmonary adaptations in FASD demonstrate decreased surfactant protein A and alveolar macrophage phagocytosis, impaired differentiation, and increased risk of Group B streptococcal pneumonia with no study examining sexual dimorphism in adaptations. We hypothesized that developmental alcohol exposure in pregnancy will lead to sexually dimorphic fetal lung morphological and immune adaptations. Pregnant rats were orogastrically treated once daily with alcohol (4.5 g/kg, gestational day [GD] 4 to 10, peak BAC, 216 mg/dl; 6.0 g/kg, GD 11 to 20, peak BAC, 289 mg/dl) or 50% maltose dextrin (isocalorically matched pair-fed controls) to control for calories derived from ethanol. Male and female fetal lung RNA from a total of 20 dams were assessed using the TapeStation (Agilent) and Qubit RNA broad-range assay. Samples with RNA Integrity Numbers (RINs) > 8 were prepared using the NEBNext Poly(A) mRNA Magnetic Isolation Module (NEB), xGen Broad-range RNA Library Prep (IDT), and xGen Normalase UDI Primer Plate 2 (IDT). Final libraries were checked for quality and quantity by Qubit hsDNA and LabChip. The samples were sequenced on the Illumina NovaSeq S4 Paired-end 150 bp. Fetal lung tissue were analyzed for histopathological assessments. Mean fetal weight, crown-rump length and placental efficiency of the alcohol-administered rats were significantly lower (P < 0.05) than the pair-fed control pups. Differentially expressed genes indicated a sex-linked gene regulation dichotomy with a significantly higher number of genes altered in the female fetal lungs compared to the male. Network analysis plot of downregulated genes in the females exposed to alcohol in utero showed a negative impact on T cell activation and regulation, T cell differentiation, decrease in CD8+ T cell number etc. The most altered genes were Cd8b, Ccl25, Cd3e, Cd27, Cd247, Cd3d, Ccr9, Cd2, Cd8a and were decreased by a log2fold change of > 2 (P < 0.05) in the female fetal lungs. KEGG analyses showed that male and female fetal lungs had downregulated genes associated with development and mitosis, whereas the females alone showed dysregulation of T cell genes. Comparison of gross appearance and histopathologic morphology showed that the developing lungs of both male and female fetal pups, displayed stunted differentiation, were relatively hypoplastic, and displayed a diminution of alveolar size and air spaces. Similarly, in both sexes, decreased alveolar capillarization was also evident in the alcohol-exposed fetal lungs. These data provide novel information in a growing area focused on alcohol effects on the offspring lung and its influence on appropriate fetal/neonatal immune responses and highlights the importance of examining sexual dimorphism in developmental adaptations.© 2025.

Abstract: The aim of this study was to explore the immune subtypes of endometrial cancer (EC) and its characteristics by immunogenes from the perspective of multidimensional genomics (multi-omics).Immune subtypes were carried out using an unsupervised non-negative matrix factorization clustering (NMF) method and their characteristics were analysed. Key genes were identified using random forest analysis. A predictive model for immune subtypes and their clinical prognosis were constructed. The relationship between immune subtypes and molecular subtypes was investigated.Two immune subtypes C1 and C2 were available. C2 patients were younger, less graded, had significantly higher immune cell infiltration, immune checkpoint expression, tumor neoantigens, tumor mutation load than C1 (P<005). S100A9, CD3D, CD3E, HLA-DRB1 and IL2RB were the key genes with significant survival outcomes. S100A9 expression was lower in C2 than C1, and IL2RB, HLA-DRB1, CD3E and CD3D expression was higher than C1 (P<0.05). The predictive accuracy of five key genes for immune subtypes was good, with a Receiver operating characteristic of 0.941. The incidence of TP53abn type in C2 was significantly lower than that of C1, and the incidence of POLE type was significantly higher than that of C1 (P<0.0001).EC can be divided into two immune subtypes based on immunogenes. Low expression of S100A9 and high expression of IL2RB, HLA-DRB1, CD3E, and CD3D suggest sensitivity to immunotherapy and a good prognosis.© 2024 Zhang et al.

Abstract: Current therapies for proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) do not specifically target VEGF-independent, cell-type-specific processes that lead to vision loss, such as inflammatory pathways. This study aimed to identify targetable cell types and corresponding signaling pathways by elucidating the single-cell landscape of the vitreous of patients with PDR.Case series.Vitreous and peripheral blood obtained from 5 adult patients (6 eyes) undergoing pars plana vitrectomy for vision-threatening PDR.Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) was performed on vitreous cells obtained from diluted cassette washings during vitrectomy from 6 eyes and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs, n = 5). Droplet-based scRNA-seq was performed using the Chromium 10x platform to obtain single-cell transcriptomes. Differences in tissue compartments were analyzed with gene ontology enrichment of differentially expressed genes and an unbiased ligand-receptor interaction analysis.Single-cell transcriptomic profiles of vitreous and peripheral blood.Transcriptomes from 13 675 surgically harvested vitreous cells and 22 636 PBMCs were included. Clustering revealed 4 cell states consistently across all eyes with representative transcripts for T cells (CD2, CD3D, CD3E, and GZMA), B cells (CD79A, IGHM, MS4A1 (CD20), and HLA-DRA), myeloid cells (LYZ, CST3, AIF1, and IFI30), and neutrophils (BASP1, CXCR2, S100A8, and S100A9). Most vitreous cells were T cells (91.6%), unlike the peripheral blood (46.2%), whereas neutrophils in the vitreous were essentially absent. The full repertoire of adaptive T cells including CD4+, CD8+ and T regulatory cells (Treg) and innate immune system effectors (i.e., natural killer T cells) was present in the vitreous. Pathway analysis also demonstrated activation of CD4+ and CD8+ memory T cells and ligand-receptor interactions unique to the vitreous.In the first single-cell transcriptomic characterization of human vitreous in a disease state, we show PDR vitreous is primarily composed of T cells, a critical component of adaptive immunity, with activity and proportions distinct from T cells within the peripheral blood, and neutrophils are essentially absent. These results demonstrate the feasibility of liquid vitreous biopsies via collection of otherwise discarded, diluted cassette washings during vitrectomy to gain mechanistic and therapeutic insights into human vitreoretinal disease.Proprietary or commercial disclosure may be found in the Footnotes and Disclosures at the end of this article.© 2024 by the American Academy of Ophthalmology.
