Single-cell and bulk transcriptome sequencing identifies two epithelial tumor cell states and refines the consensus molecular classification of colorectal cancer

Cell-type annotation scRNA-seq data were filtered to discard low-quality cells and doublets (Supplementary Fig. 1, Extended Data Fig. 1 and Methods). Supervised clustering (Reference Component Analysis v2 (RCA2)) at low resolution grouped cells into 11 major cell types (Extended Data Fig. 1). To identify epithelial cell subtypes, we initially analyzed…

Single-cell analyses define a continuum of cell state and composition changes in the malignant transformation of polyps to colorectal cancer

Mapping molecular changes across malignant transformation We generated single-cell data for 81 samples collected from eight FAP and seven non-FAP donors (Fig. 1a and Supplementary Tables 1 and 2). For each tissue, we performed matched scATAC-seq and snRNA-seq (10x Genomics). We obtained high-quality single-cell chromatin accessibility profiles for 447,829 cells…

Pericentromeric noncoding RNA changes DNA binding of CTCF and inflammatory gene expression in senescence and cancer

Significance During the aging process, senescent cells secrete inflammatory factors, causing various age-related pathologies. Thus, controlling the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) can tremendously benefit human health. Although SASP seems to be induced by the alteration of chromosomal organization, its underlying mechanism remains unclear. Here, it has been revealed that noncoding…
