The spatial and cellular portrait of Transposable Element expression during Gastric Cancer
Braulio Valdebenito-Maturana
Abstract:Gastric Cancer (GC) is a lethal malignancy, with urgent need for the discovery of novel biomarkers for its early detection. I previously showed that Transposable Elements (TEs) become activated in early GC (EGC), suggesting a role in gene expression. Here, I follow-up on that evidence using single-cell data from gastritis to EGC, and show that TEs are expressed and follow the disease progression, with 2,430 of them being cell populations markers. Pseudotemporal trajectory modeling revealed 111 TEs associated w… Show more
