Here we characterize the tumor cell states and spatial cellular compositions of the NSCLC tumor microenvironment (TME) by analyzing single-cell transcriptomes of 232,080 cells and spatially resolved transcriptomes of tumors from 19 patients before and after ICB–chemotherapy. We find that tumor cells and secreted phosphoprotein 1-positive macrophages interact with collagen type XI alpha 1 chain-positive cancer-associated fibroblasts to stimulate the deposition and entanglement of collagen fibers at tumor boundaries, obstructing T cell infiltration and leading to poor prognosis. We also reveal distinct states of tertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs) in the TME. Activated TLSs are associated with improved prognosis, whereas a hypoxic microenvironment appears to suppress TLS development and is associated with poor prognosis. Our study provides novel insights into different cellular and molecular components corresponding to NSCLC ICB–chemotherapeutic responsiveness, which will benefit future individualized immuno-chemotherapy.</p>","PeriodicalId":18985,"journal":{"name":"Nature genetics","volume":"212 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":30.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142797061","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here we describe cell-type-specific, sex-biased and ancestry-biased alternative splicing in ~1 M peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 474 healthy donors from the Asian Immune Diversity Atlas. We identify widespread sex-biased and ancestry-biased differential splicing, most of which is cell-type-specific. We identify 11,577 independent cis-splicing quantitative trait loci (sQTLs), 607 trans-sGenes and 107 dynamic sQTLs. Colocalization between cis-eQTLs and trans-sQTLs revealed a cell-type-specific regulatory relationship between HNRNPLL and PTPRC. We observed an enrichment of cis-sQTL effects in autoimmune and inflammatory disease heritability. Specifically, we functionally validated an Asian-specific sQTL disrupting the 5′ splice site of TCHP exon 4 that putatively modulates the risk of Graves’ disease in East Asian populations. Our work highlights the impact of ancestral diversity on splicing and provides a roadmap to dissect its role in complex diseases at single-cell resolution. This analysis of single-cell RNA sequencing data from peripheral blood mononuclear cells for 474 individuals of diverse Asian ancestries in the Asian Immune Diversity Atlas links cell-type-specific splicing variation with autoimmune and inflammatory disease risk.","PeriodicalId":18985,"journal":{"name":"Nature genetics","volume":"56 12","pages":"2739-2752"},"PeriodicalIF":31.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s41588-024-02019-8.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142759931","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
