Abstract Gastric cancer (GC) is a major cause of global mortality with high levels heterogeneity. To explore geospatial interactions in tumor ecosystems, we integrated 2,138 spatial transcriptomic regions-of-interest (ROIs) 152,423 single-cell expression profiles across 226 GC samples from 121 patients. We observed pervasive expression-based intratumor heterogeneity, recapitulating progression through spatially localized and functionally ordered subgroups associated specific immune...

<p>(1) Supplementary Figure 1 shows morphologies of different ROI categories and their representative genes, pathways similarities with paired scRNA-seq data. (2) 2 validation findings from the discovery GeoMx DSP cohort in whole-section also TMA cohort. (3) 3 experiments validating that intratumor G1/G2 subregion expression is tumor-intrinsic using multiplexed IHC, Stereoseq spatial transcriptomics, vitro drug treatment profiling. (4) 4 individual immune checkpoints, chemokines,...
Abstract Gastric cancer (GC) is a major cause of global mortality with high heterogeneity levels. To explore geospatial interactions in tumor ecosystems, we integrated 1,563 spatial transcriptomic regions-of-interest (ROIs) 152,423 single-cell expression profiles across 130 GC samples from 70 patients. We observed pervasive expression-based intratumor heterogeneity, recapitulating progression through spatially localized and functionally ordered subgroups specific immune microenvironments...
