Intratumor heterogeneity (ITH) of human tumors is important for tumor progression, treatment response, and drug resistance. However, the spatial distribution of ITH remains incompletely understood. Here, we present spatial analysis of ITH in lung adenocarcinomas from 147 patients using multi-region mass spectrometry of >5000 regions, single cell copy number sequencing of ~2000 single cells, and cyclic immunofluorescence of >10 million cells. We identified two distinct spatial patterns among tumors, termed clustered and random geographic diversification (GD). These patterns were observed in the same samples using both proteomic and genomic data. The random proteomic GD pattern, which is characterized by decreased cell adhesion and lower levels of tumor-interacting endothelial cells, was significantly associated with increased risk of recurrence or death in two independent patient cohorts. Our study presents comprehensive spatial mapping of ITH in lung adenocarcinoma and provides insights into the mechanisms and clinical consequences of geographic diversification of intratumor heterogeneity.

About the Data Files

This dataset can be used to reproduce the analysis of 12 lung tumors, as described (Wu HJ, Temko D, Maliga Z, et. al. Cell Genomics, 2022), and to develop new computational tools for processing and analysis of tumors stained for standard histopathology (hematoxylin and eosin) or highly multiplexed (20+) fluorescent tissue imaging.

The dataset includes raw brightfield and immunofluorescence images of surgical resections of lung adenocarcinoma from twelve patients. The stitched image pyramids for highly multiplexed fluorescence image data, segmentation masks and single-cell intensity files for each sample generated by MCMICRO is included.

The position of histologically defined regions (20-60 per tumor) in the H&E stained sections and the corresponding region in the adjacent section stained by multiplexed fluorescence microscopy (CyCIF) are indicated.
