双硫死亡相关基因在卵巢癌中的多组学分析

Multi-omics Analysis of Disulfide Death-Associated Genes in Ovarian Cancer

  • 摘要: 目的:本研究旨在探讨双硫死亡升高的癌症相关成纤维细胞(CAF)在肿瘤细胞生长和免疫微环境调节中的关键作用。方法:基于TCGA、GEO数据库及单细胞测序数据,利用多组学分析技术(包括二代测序、单细胞聚类、CellChat互作网络及空间定位),解析双硫死亡相关基因(DRG)的表达模式以及CAF亚群功能异质性,并结合qPCR验证葡萄糖饥饿条件下DRG及SPP1表达调控。结果:双硫死亡关键基因SLC7A11在卵巢癌组织中高表达,其表达水平与临床分期、肿瘤体积及免疫治疗耐药显著正相关。单细胞测序定位DRG特异性富集于CAF1/CAF5亚群,并通过SPP1-CD44轴驱动上皮-间质转化(EMT)及免疫抑制。空间转录组揭示SPP1在CAF-肿瘤细胞界面特异性富集,与ITGAV/ITGB1/CD44受体形成高强度互作网络;饥饿处理显著降低了DRG和SPP1的表达水平。结论:本研究证实高水平的双硫死亡促进了特定免疫细胞亚群的积聚,同时抑制了抗肿瘤免疫反应,为肿瘤微环境中CAF与免疫调节之间的复杂相互作用提供了新的见解,并提示双硫死亡可能作为癌症治疗的潜在靶点。
     

     

    Abstract: Abstract: Objective: To investigate the critical role of disulfidptosis-elevated cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) in promoting tumor growth and modulating the immune microenvironment. Methods: Multi-omics analyses were conducted using TCGA, GEO, and single-cell RNA sequencing data. Techniques included bulk RNA-seq, single-cell clustering, CellChat interaction network analysis, and spatial transcriptomics to characterize the expression profiles of disulfidptosis-related genes (DRGs) and the functional heterogeneity of CAF subpopulations. Quantitative PCR was performed to validate DRG and SPP1 expression under glucose starvation conditions. Results: The key disulfidptosis gene SLC7A11 was highly expressed in ovarian cancer tissues and positively correlated with clinical stage, tumor size, and resistance to immunotherapy. Single-cell analysis showed DRG enrichment in CAF1 and CAF5 subtypes, which promoted epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) and immune suppression via the SPP1–CD44 axis. Spatial transcriptomics revealed specific accumulation of SPP1 at the CAF–tumor cell interface, forming strong interaction networks with ITGAV, ITGB1, and CD44. Glucose deprivation significantly downregulated the expression of DRGs and SPP1. Conclusion: Elevated disulfidptosis in CAFs contributes to immune suppression and facilitates tumor progression by orchestrating cell–cell interactions within the tumor microenvironment. These findings provide new insights into CAF-mediated immune regulation and suggest disulfidptosis as a potential therapeutic target in cancer.
