Paper
Spatial transcriptomic landscape of invasion patterns in human papillomavirus-associated endocervical adenocarcinomaScientific reports · 2026
Summary (written by the submitters)
Human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated endocervical adenocarcinoma is the second-most common cancer of the uterine cervix. HPV-associated endocervical adenocarcinoma can be classified into histologic Silva patterns of invasion, which are associated with clinical outcome. However, the mechanisms underlying these patterns of invasion are incompletely understood.

We used whole transcriptome spatial transcriptomics to examine gene expression differences separately in the tumor epithelium and the surrounding stromal immune microenvironment (SIME). Seven cases were evaluated, focusing on cases with two distinct patterns of invasion within the same tumor, to control for inter-patient heterogeneity. The most strongly upregulated pathways in both higher-risk tumor epithelium and SIME were associated with extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling. Transcriptomic-based inference of immune cell populations showed an increase in macrophage populations in higher-risk tumor areas, confirmed by immunohistochemistry. Finally, we derived a four-gene signature from genes upregulated in higher-risk tumor epithelium (KRT6A, TNC, LAMC2 and FN1), which was associated with worse clinical outcome in an independent dataset (The Cancer Genome Atlas). Overall, this work demonstrates that ECM remodeling and macrophage presence are important in the progression to high-risk patterns of invasion in HPV-associated endocervical adenocarcinoma. In addition, we established a prognostic four-gene signature that is predictive of poor outcome.

Download · which file do I need?

Direct links to NCBI and ENA, no account and no request form. Pick by what you want to do: take the small processed table to look, the supplementary files to re-analyse, or the original raw data to start over.

1 · Just have a look

Processed table

The series matrix: one table of values per sample as the submitters processed it. The smallest download, and it opens in Excel or R. Start here to see what the data look like.

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 GSE316098_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.

What the files usually look like: For RNA-seq the counts are usually a table among the supplementary files (look for 'counts', 'expression', 'FPKM' or 'TPM' in the file name). The series matrix of a sequencing study is sometimes nearly empty.

Also filed as BioProject PRJNA1400592 and SRA study SRP661074. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Study design
186 samples, each with a distinct title — no replicated groups

Any grouping that defines a comparison lives in the sample characteristics, which GEO records separately from the titles.

How we read this: Read from 186 sample titles: 186 distinct titles with little repetition. These groups are guessed from the sample names, not taken from the paper, so check them against the sample list below before relying on them.
