Abstract

Tumor microenvironment (TME) remodeling plays a pivotal role in thyroid cancer progression, yet its spatial dynamics remain unclear. In this study, we integrate spatial transcriptomics and single-cell RNA sequencing to map the TME architecture across para-tumor thyroid (PT) tissue, papillary thyroid cancer (PTC), locally advanced PTC (LPTC), and anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC). Our integrative analysis reveals extensive molecular and cellular heterogeneity during thyroid cancer progression, enabling the identification of three distinct thyrocyte meta-clusters, including TG⁺IYG⁺ subpopulation in PT, HLA-DRB1⁺HLA-DRA⁺ subpopulation in early cancerous stages, and APOE⁺APOC1⁺ subpopulation in late-stage progression. We reveal stage-specific tumor leading edge remodeling and establish high-confidence cell-cell interactions, such as COL8A1-ITHB1 in PTC, LAMB2-ITGB4 in LPTC, and SERPINE1-PLAUR in ATC. Notably, both SERPINE1 expression level and SERPINE1⁺ fibroblast abundance correlate with malignant progression and prognosis. These findings provide a spatially resolved framework of TME remodeling, offering insights for thyroid cancer diagnosis and treatment.

期刊介绍： Cell Reports Medicine is an esteemed open-access journal by Cell Press that publishes groundbreaking research in translational and clinical biomedical sciences, influencing human health and medicine. Our journal ensures wide visibility and accessibility, reaching scientists and clinicians across various medical disciplines. We publish original research that spans from intriguing human biology concepts to all aspects of clinical work. We encourage submissions that introduce innovative ideas, forging new paths in clinical research and practice. We also welcome studies that provide vital information, enhancing our understanding of current standards of care in diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. This encompasses translational studies, clinical trials (including long-term follow-ups), genomics, biomarker discovery, and technological advancements that contribute to diagnostics, treatment, and healthcare. Additionally, studies based on vertebrate model organisms are within the scope of the journal, as long as they directly relate to human health and disease.
