Meta-analyses of mouse and human prostate single-cell transcriptomes reveal widespread epithelial plasticity in tissue regression, regeneration, and cancer by Luis Aparicio, Laura Crowley, John R. Christin, Caroline J. Laplaca, Hanina Hibshoosh, Raul Rabadan, Michael M. Shen

“…Notably, we detect copy number variants predominantly within luminal acinar cells in prostate tumors, suggesting a bias in their cell type of origin, as well as a larger field of transcriptomic alterations in non-tumor cells. Finally, we observe that luminal acinar tumor cells in treatment-naïve prostate cancer display heterogeneous androgen receptor (AR) signaling activity, including a split between AR-positive and AR-low profiles with similarity to PrU-like states. …”
