High-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) is a hormone-related cancer with high mortality and poor prognosis. Based on the transcriptome of 57,444 cells in ascites from 10 patients with HGSOC (including 5 pre-menopausal and 5 post-menopausal patients), we identified 14 cell clusters which were further classified into 6 cell types, including T cells, B cells, NK cells, myeloid cells, epithelial cells, and stromal cells. We discovered an increased proportion of epithelial cells and a decreased proportion of T cells in pre-menopausal ascites compared with post-menopausal ascites. GO analysis revealed the pre-menopausal tumor microenvironments (TME) are closely associated with viral infection, while the post-menopausal TME are mostly related to the IL-17 immune pathway. SPP1/CD44-mediated crosstalk between myeloid cells and B cells, NK cells, and stromal cells mainly present in the pre-menopausal group, while SPP1/PTGER4 -mediated crosstalk between myeloid cells and epithelial cells mostly present in the post-menopausal group.
高级别浆液性卵巢癌(HGSOC)是一种与激素相关的癌症,死亡率高且预后较差。基于10例HGSOC患者(包括5例绝经前和5例绝经后患者)腹水中57444个细胞的转录组,我们鉴定出14个细胞簇,这些细胞簇进一步分为6种细胞类型,包括T细胞、B细胞、NK细胞、髓样细胞、上皮细胞和基质细胞。我们发现,与绝经后腹水相比,绝经前腹水中上皮细胞比例增加,T细胞比例降低。基因本体(GO)分析显示,绝经前肿瘤微环境(TME)与病毒感染密切相关,而绝经后TME主要与白细胞介素-17免疫途径相关。SPP1/CD44介导的髓样细胞与B细胞、NK细胞和基质细胞之间的串扰主要存在于绝经前组,而SPP1/PTGER4介导的髓样细胞与上皮细胞之间的串扰主要存在于绝经后组。
