摘要

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma has a dismal prognosis. A comprehensive analysis of single-cell multi-omic data from matched tumour-infiltrated CD45+ cells and peripheral blood in 12 patients, and two published datasets, reveals a complex immune infiltrate. Patients have either a myeloid-enriched or adaptive-enriched tumour microenvironment. Adaptive immune cell-enriched is intrinsically linked with highly distinct B and T cell clonal selection, diversification, and differentiation. Using TCR data, we see the largest clonal expansions in CD8 effector memory, senescent cells, and highly activated regulatory T cells which are induced within the tumour from naïve cells. We identify pathways that potentially lead to a suppressive microenvironment, including investigational targets TIGIT/PVR and SIRPA/CD47. Analysis of patients from the APACT clinical trial shows that myeloid enrichment had a shorter overall survival compared to those with adaptive cell enrichment. Strategies for rationale therapeutic development in this disease include boosting of B cell responses, targeting immunosuppressive macrophages, and specific Treg cell depletion approaches.
