Objective We aimed to characterise the differences between the left-sided and right-sided adenomas (ADs) representing the early stage of colonic tumourigenesis. Design Single-cell and spatial transcriptomic datasets were analysed to reveal alterations between right-sided and left-sided colon ADs. Cells, animal experiments and clinical specimens were used to verify the results. Results Single-cell analysis revealed that in right-sided ADs, there was a significant reduction of goblet cells, and these goblet cells were dysfunctional with attenuated mucin biosynthesis and defective antigen presentation. An impairment of the mucus barrier led to biofilm formation in crypts and subsequent bacteria invasion into right-sided ADs. The regions spatially surrounding the crypts with biofilm occupation underwent an inflammatory response by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and an apoptosis process, as revealed by spatial transcriptomics. A distinct S100A11+ epithelial cell population in the right-sided ADs was identified, and its expression level was induced by bacterial LPS and peptidoglycan. S100A11 expression facilitated tumour growth in syngeneic immunocompetent mice with increased myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) but reduced cytotoxic CD8+ T cells. Targeting S100A11 with well-tolerated antagonists of its receptor for advanced glycation end product (RAGE) (Azeliragon) significantly impaired tumour growth and MDSC infiltration, thereby boosting the efficacy of anti-programmed cell death protein 1 therapy in colon cancer. Conclusion Our findings unravelled that dysfunctional goblet cells and consequential bacterial translocation activated the S100A11-RAGE axis in right-sided colon ADs, which recruits MDSCs to promote immune evasion. Targeting this axis by Azeliragon improves the efficacy of immunotherapy in colon cancer.
