Whole genome sequencing, single-cell RNA sequencing, and ATAC sequencing of mesothelioma (patient, patient-derived xenograft and cell line)

Malignant pleural mesothelioma is an aggressive pleural tumor with a poor prognosis, and elucidating its molecular mechanisms is essential for improving diagnosis and treatment. This study investigates key genes and pathways involved in tumor progression, with particular attention to the involvement of neutrophils in the tumor ecosystem of mesothelioma. We performed whole-genome sequencing and single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) of one pleural mesothelioma tumor specimen, scRNA-seq of matched patient-derived xenograft tumors, scRNA-seq of mesothelioma-free pleural tissues from three patients, and assay for transposase-accessible chromatin using sequencing (ATAC-seq) of a patient-derived cell line.
