摘要

Dendritic cells (DCs) are critical inducers of anti-tumor immunity. To achieve a comprehensive mapping of mouse and human DC subsets and states in a cancer context, here we generate pan-cancer mouse and human tumor-associated DC (TADC) scRNA-seq atlases, encompassing 14 mouse tumor models and 10 human cancer types, within which we identify several lineage-defined DC subsets along with maturation/functional states. We show that TADCs acquire an inflammatory profile with tumor progression and that tumor-mediated reprogramming occurs within the DCs from lymph nodes of tumor-bearing mice. Importantly, we demonstrate that TADCs are broadly conserved between mice and humans, although species-specific differences may exist in some subsets and states. Moreover, we present a comprehensive assessment of how different human TADC clusters associate with patient survival outcomes. Overall, we provide an in-depth characterization of the TADC compartment in mouse and human cancers, which can improve our understanding of the tumor microenvironment and contribute to the development of new anti-cancer therapies.
