Summary (written by the submitters)

First-line immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) combinations have shown responses in subsets of patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Nearly half of patients are Wnt active with mutations in CTNNB1 (encoding for beta-catenin), AXIN1/2, or APC, and demonstrate limited benefit to ICI due to an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment.

We investigated a novel siRNA encapsulated in lipid nanoparticle targeting CTNNB1 (LNP-CTNNB1) in multiple beta-catenin-mutated immunocompetent HCC mouse models, observing complete response. Integrated single-cell and spatial transcriptomics revealed complete cellular and zonal reprogramming of CTNNB1-mutated tumors, and a spatiotemporal shift in innate immune surveillance with intra-tumoral pro-inflammatory myeloid infiltration following LNP-CTNNB1 intervention. beta-catenin knockdown initiated tumor cell-intrinsic type I/II interferon signaling accompanied by IRF2 upregulation, which was suppressed in CTNNB1-mutated HCCs. IRF2 re-expression in beta-catenin-mutated HCC restored adaptive tumor immunity with increased CD4+ T cells and impaired recruitment of resident T regulatory cells. Finally, LNP-CTNNB1 synergized with ICI in advanced-stage disease through increasing intra-tumoral recruitment of cytotoxic T cells. In summary, RNAi-mediated inhibition of CTNNB1 is efficacious as monotherapy and in combination with ICI in CTNNB1-mutated HCCs through remodeling both tumor cell intrinsic signaling and global immune surveillance, thus providing rationale for clinical investigations.

2 · Re-analyse it

Supplementary files

The count tables and other files the authors uploaded. Take only the samples you need, or the whole study as GSE270714_RAW.tar (it can run to tens of gigabytes).

3 · Start from the raw reads

Raw sequencing reads

The original FASTQ files, straight from the sequencer, held at ENA. Large, and you align them yourself, so only choose this if you need to re-process the study from scratch.

Raw reads on ENA ↗

What the files usually look like: Single-cell studies usually ship their counts as 10x files (matrix.mtx, barcodes.tsv, features.tsv), an .h5 file, or an .rds / .h5ad object that Seurat or Scanpy can open. Look for those among the supplementary files.

Also filed as BioProject PRJNA1128068 and SRA study SRP516057. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.
