中文摘要
高级别浆液性卵巢癌(HGSC)是一种致命恶性肿瘤,以近乎普遍的TP53突变和染色体不稳定(CIN)为特征,且因晚期诊断而致命。手术切除输卵管(FT)是唯一有效的预防策略。即使术后,仍有一部分个体发生原发性腹膜癌(PPC)。当在FT中识别出浆液性输卵管上皮内癌(STIC)时,PPC风险超过30倍。为研究HGSC起始所需的步骤并识别高风险STIC的特征,我们组建了一个201例患者队列,涵盖从正常FT、p53特征、STIC、早期至晚期HGSC的HGSC发展过程。所有标本均接受多重免疫荧光(mpIF),来自36例患者的45份样本通过Visium HD空间转录组学分析,生成了逾2000万个8 μM分箱(bin)数据。我们分析了上皮状态转变,并使用inferCNV推断拷贝数变异(CNV)。在一个病例中,我们用配对的FFPE单细胞全基因组测序验证了CNV判定。mpIF揭示STIC病变中cGAS染色的可变出现,提示在浸润前对CIN的耐受性正在演变。通过对上皮分箱进行无监督聚类,我们发现STIC病变形成独特的转录聚类,忠实地映射至STIC组织学特征。轨迹分析提示存在一个连接纤毛细胞与分泌细胞谱系的假定前驱状态。STIC聚类富集NFκB和TGF-beta信号,但缺乏在晚期HGSC中观察到的JAK/STAT信号证据。inferCNV显示正常输卵管/p53特征病变在染色体上基本稳定,而STIC则表现出广泛的全基因组改变,类似晚期HGSC,包括影响TP53、BRCA1和BRCA2的缺失以及MYC和CCNE1的扩增。在一例胚系BRCA2患者中,我们识别出具有不同CNV谱的多克隆STIC。该病例的拟时序轨迹分析提示,在扩增的分泌细胞群中先出现早期拷贝数改变,随后是17号染色体(TP53)缺失、13号染色体(BRCA2)缺失及后续的癌基因扩增(如MYC)。随着STIC病变发生浸润,我们观察到具有独特推断拷贝数谱的空间分箱,提示克隆相关浸润细胞邻域的出现。这些肿瘤邻域表现出不同的微环境,包括成纤维细胞表型和血管化的差异。这一输卵管转化的多模态图谱支持这样一个模型:TP53缺失先于BRCA1/2失活,并表明STIC在基因组上与晚期HGSC相似。总之,这些数据为研究早期HGSC演化提供了框架,并可能为降低风险和早期拦截的策略提供依据。

High-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC) is a lethal malignancy marked by near-universal TP53 mutation and chromosomal instability (CIN) due late stage diagnosis. Surgical removal of fallopian tubes (FT) is the only effective prevention strategy. Even after surgery, a subset of individuals develops primary peritoneal carcinoma (PPC). When serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma (STIC) is identified in the FT, PPC risk exceeds 30-fold. To study the steps required for HGSC initiation and identify features of high risk STICs, we assembled a 201-patient cohort spanning HGSC development from normal FT, p53 signatures, STIC, early and advanced‑stage HGSC. All specimens underwent multiplexed immunofluorescence (mpIF), and 45 samples from 36 patients were profiled by Visium HD spatial transcriptomics generating >20million 8μM bins of data. We analyzed epithelial state transitions and inferred copy number variation (CNV) using inferCNV. In one case we validated CNV calls with matched FFPE single‑cell whole‑genome sequencing. mpIF revealed variable emergence of cGAS staining in STIC lesions, indicating evolving tolerance to CIN prior to invasion. Using unsupervised clustering of the epithelial bins, we found that STIC lesions formed distinct transcriptional clusters that faithfully mapped to STIC histologic features. Trajectory analyses suggests a putative precursor state bridging ciliated and secretory lineages. STIC clusters were enriched for NFκB and TGF-beta signaling but lacked evidence of JAK/STAT signaling observed in advanced HGSC. inferCNV showed that normal fallopian tube/p53 signature lesions were largely chromosomally stable, whereas STICs displayed broad, genome-wide alterations, reminiscent of advanced HGSC, including losses affecting TP53 , BRCA1 , and BRCA2 and amplifications of MYC and CCNE1 . In a germline BRCA2 patient, we identified polyclonal STICs with distinct CNV profiles. Pseudotime trajectory analysis in this case suggested early copy number changes within an expanded secretory population, followed by loss of chromosome 17 ( TP53 ), loss of chromosome 13 ( BRCA2 ), and subsequent oncogene amplifications (e.g., MYC ). As STIC lesions become invasive, we observed spatial bins with unique inferred copy number profiles, indicating the emergence of neighborhoods of clonally related invasive cells. These tumor neighborhoods exhibit different microenvironments, including differences in fibroblast phenotypes and vascularization. This multimodal map of fallopian tube transformation supports a model in which TP53 loss precedes BRCA1/2 inactivation and indicates that STICs are genomically similar to advanced HGSC. Together, these data provide a framework for studying early HGSC evolution and may inform strategies for risk reduction and early interception.
