These studies not only highlight the power of unbiased spatial analysis but also underscore Visium’s role in advancing biomedical research by enabling new discoveries and therapeutic possibilities.
Mechanisms of action and resistance to epigenetic cancer therapy valemetostat, revealed with single cell ATAC-seq
Researchers from the University of Tokyo, University of Ryukyus, and Daiichi Sankyo Co. used single-cell technologies, including Chromium Single Cell ATAC and Gene Expression assays, to uncover the mechanisms of action and resistance of valemetostat, a dual inhibitor targeting EZH1 and EZH2, in treating adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL). They found that valemetostat reduces H3K27me3 levels, leading to chromatin relaxation and reactivation of tumor suppressor genes, which improves patient outcomes. Additionally, the treatment increases expression at previously repressed gene loci, countering the epigenetic repression observed in cancer cells. By exploiting Chromium Single Cell ATAC, these findings open a new realm of therapy development, offering promising directions for more effective and durable cancer treatments.
Single Cell Gene Expression
Cancer is a multifaceted disease driven by the complex interplay of diverse immune cells. To elucidate the heterogeneity of tumor microenvironments and assess the efficacy of innovative therapeutics, leveraging Chromium Single Cell Multiome ATAC + Gene Expression for comprehensive epigenetic profiling is essential. This advanced technique is pivotal in deciphering the mechanisms of gene activation and silencing that propel cancer progression.
Utilizing Single Cell RNA Sequencing to Target Ovarian Cancer
Recent advancements have utilized the Chromium Single Cell Immune Profiling assay to develop an in-depth tumor microenvironment atlas, focusing on primary tumors, metastases, and particularly ascites – the fluid accumulation common in advanced cases. This study identified immune cells in ascites that could potentially enhance the immune response against primary and metastatic tumors.
