GSE113616: Stromal Fibroblasts Drive Single Cell Heterogeneity in Pancreatic Cancer

Bulk RNA sequencing

To understand the interplay between cancer and stroma, we performed single cell RNA-sequencing of PDAC cells admixed with stromal fibroblasts and defined different single cell populations with varying levels of proliferative and metastatic transcriptional states. PDAC cell behavior in vitro and in vivo on these phenotypic axes could be tuned with the proportion of stromal fibroblasts. These cell types were identified in human pancreatic tumors, and specific subpopulations were associated with worsened outcomes.
