Inhibition of ACLY enhances tumor immunogenicity and resolves MASH-driven HCC

Immunosuppressive tumor microenvironments are common in cancers such as metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH)-driven hepatocellular carcinoma. To further investigate tumor–immune interactions, we performed spatial transcriptomics on livers from MASH-driven HCC mouse models (WD-DEN, WT or Acly KO mice and from WD-CCL4, Vehicle, or EVT0185 (100mg/kg) treated mice). GO enrichment analysis of spatially resolved tumor cells showed increased fatty acid and lipid metabolism in both Acly KO and EVT0185-treated mice Spatial analysis also revealed a selective increase in B cells, but not T cells, macrophages, or NKT cells, in tumors from Acly KO and EVT0185-treated mice.

Needs pip install lamindb and network access to the Lamin database, which is limited during the alpha. If it fails, use the Client tab.

import lamindb as ln

db = ln.DB("scverse/spatialdata-db")
coll = db.Collection.get(key="geo-gse297081")
coll.ordered_artifacts.to_dataframe()   # the 4 members, ordered

# download every member .zarr to the local cache:
paths = [a.cache() for a in coll.ordered_artifacts.all()]
Shell
# sddb client: download every member .zarr into data/
