Spatial transcriptomics reveals unique metabolic profile and key oncogenic regulators of cervical squamous cell carcinoma

Abstract

As a prevalent and deadly malignant tumor, the treatment outcomes for late-stage patients with cervical squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) are often suboptimal. Previous studies have shown that tumor progression is closely related with tumor metabolism and microenvironment reshaping, with disruptions in energy metabolism playing a critical role in this process. To delve deeper into the understanding of CSCC development, our research focused on analyzing the tumor microenvironment and metabolic characteristics across different regions of tumor tissue.Utilizing spatial transcriptomics (ST) sequencing technology, we conducted a study on FFPE (formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded) tumor samples from CSCC patients. Coupled with single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data after deconvolution, we described spatial distribution maps of tumor leading edge and core regions in detail. Tumor tissues were classified into hypermetabolic and hypometabolic regions to analyze the metabolism profiles and tumor differentiation degree across different spatial areas. We also employed The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database to examine the analysis results of ST data.Our findings indicated a more complex tumor microenvironment in hypermetabolic regions. Cell-cell communication analysis showed that various cells in tumor microenvironment were influenced by the signalling molecule APP released by cancer cells and higher expression of APP was observed in hypermetabolic regions. Furthermore, our results revealed the correlation between APP and the transcription factor TRPS1. Both APP and TRPS1 demonstrated significant effects on cancer cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, potentially contributing to tumor progression.Utilizing ST, scRNA-seq, and TCGA database, we examined the spatial metabolic profiles of CSCC tissues, including metabolism distribution, metabolic variations, and the relationship between metabolism and tumor differentiation degree. Additionally, potential cancer-promoting factors were proposed, offering a valuable foundation for the development of more effective treatment strategies for CSCC.
