摘要

Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are linked to cancer progression and poor prognosis, offering valuable genetic insights into tumors. Accurate detection of genomic alterations in CTCs is essential for improving cancer diagnosis and treatment. To address this, we develop Uniform Chromosome Conformation Capture (Uni-C), a method for profiling 3D chromatin architecture and genomic alterations at the single-cell level. Using Uni-C, we analyze CTCs from pancreatic cancer patient-derived xenograft (PDX) and spontaneous tumor mouse models. In the PDX model, integrating data from seven CTCs captures 88.7% of SNPs and INDELs, and 75.0% of structural variants present in tumor tissue. These findings indicate that variants detected in CTCs reflect tumor genomic features. Notably, we observe chromatin conformation differences between mitotic and interphase CTCs, suggesting potential markers of cell vitality. In the spontaneous tumor model, we identify driver gene mutations in CTCs and predict neoantigens, advancing early cancer detection and treatment strategies.
