Abstract

The clinical and pathological outcomes differ between early-onset (diagnosed in men ≤55 years of age) and late-onset prostate cancer, potentially attributed to the changes in hormone levels and immune activities associated with aging. Exploring the heterogeneity therein holds potential for developing age-specific precision interventions. Here, through single-cell and spatial transcriptomic analyses of prostate cancer tissues, we identified that an androgen response-related transcriptional meta-program (AR-MP) might underlie the age-related heterogeneity of tumor cells and microenvironment. APOE tumor-associated macrophages infiltrated AR-MP-activated tumor cells in early-onset prostate cancer, potentially facilitating tumor progression and immunosuppression. By contrast, inflammatory cancer-associated fibroblasts in late-onset prostate cancer correlated with downregulation of AR-MP of tumor cells and increased epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and pre-existing castration resistance, which may also be linked to smoking. This study provides potential insights for tailoring precision treatments by age groups, emphasizing interventions that include targeting AR and tumor-associated macrophages in young patients but anchoring epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and inflammatory cancer-associated fibroblasts in old counterparts.

摘要

早发性(诊断时男性年龄≤55岁)和晚发性前列腺癌的临床和病理结果有所不同,这可能归因于与衰老相关的激素水平和免疫活动的变化。探索其中的异质性对于开发针对特定年龄的精准干预措施具有潜力。在这里,通过对前列腺癌组织进行单细胞和空间转录组分析,我们发现一种雄激素反应相关的转录元程序(AR-MP)可能是肿瘤细胞和微环境与年龄相关异质性的基础。在早发性前列腺癌中,载脂蛋白E(APOE)肿瘤相关巨噬细胞浸润AR-MP激活的肿瘤细胞,可能促进肿瘤进展和免疫抑制。相比之下,晚发性前列腺癌中的炎性癌症相关成纤维细胞与肿瘤细胞AR-MP的下调以及上皮-间质转化增加和预先存在的去势抵抗相关,这也可能与吸烟有关。本研究为按年龄组定制精准治疗提供了潜在见解,强调在年轻患者中进行包括靶向AR和肿瘤相关巨噬细胞的干预措施,而在老年患者中则针对上皮-间质转化和炎性癌症相关成纤维细胞。
