Abstract

ABSTRACT Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is an aggressive malignancy that includes subtypes defined by differential expression of ASCL1 , NEUROD1 , and POU2F3 (SCLC-A, -N, and -P, respectively), which are associated with distinct therapeutic vulnerabilities. To define the heterogeneity of tumors and their associated microenvironments across subtypes, we sequenced 54,523 cellular transcriptomes from 21 human biospecimens. Our single-cell SCLC atlas reveals tumor diversity exceeding lung adenocarcinoma, driven by canonical, intermediate, and admixed subtypes. We discovered a PLCG2 -high tumor cell population with stem-like, pro-metastatic features that recurs across subtypes and predicts worse overall survival, and manipulation of PLCG2 expression in cells confirms correlation with key metastatic markers. Treatment and subtype are associated with substantial phenotypic changes in the SCLC immune microenvironment, with greater T-cell dysfunction in SCLC-N than SCLC-A. Moreover, the recurrent, PLCG2- high subclone is associated with exhausted CD8+ T-cells and a pro-fibrotic, immunosuppressive monocyte/macrophage population, suggesting possible tumor-immune coordination to promote metastasis.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
