Resum

The benign-to-malignant transition is a defining step in cancer progression. To investigate when and how malignancy initiation occurs and tissue reorganization proceeds, we combine single-cell and spatial transcriptomic profiling in mouse models of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) that capture spontaneous p53 loss. Among Kras-mutant cells, we find that oncogenic and tumor-suppressive programs, including those controlled by p53, CDKN2A, and SMAD4, are co-activated in a discrete progenitor-like population, engaging senescence-like responses. Using a framework we developed for spatial analysis, we show that a niche centered on these cells undergoes stepwise remodeling during tumor progression, mirroring invasive PDAC. Transient KRAS inhibition depletes progenitor-like cells and dismantles their niche, delaying malignancy initiation. Conversely, p53 suppression enables progenitor cell expansion, epithelial-mesenchymal reprogramming, and immune-privileged niche formation. These findings position the progenitor-like state at the convergence of cancer-driving mutations, plasticity, and tissue remodeling, revealing a critical window for intercepting malignancy.
