Abstract: Precursor lesions of gastric cancer (PLGC) precede the development of adenocarcinomas. In the stomach, PLGCs are characterized by the presence of intestinal metaplasia, in which one type of differentiated cell is substituted by another type. One disadvantage of transcriptomic analysis in gastric biopsies is its interpretation. An altered gene could be deregulated because it is actually deregulated in a particular cell type, or because the number of cells expressing it has been altered. Here, using deconvolution, we determined the cell proportions from a transcriptomic study of patients with LPGC. Cell proportions, in addition to being a confounding factor for transcriptomic studies, could have relevance in terms of the progression of LPGCs. Using single-cell RNAseq experiments and Seurat we extracted the matrix of cell signatures. Importantly, the signature matrix was obtained after reanalyzing the single-cell experiments. The signature matrix was used as the input for the deconvolution algorithm CIBERSORTx. We have found that in LPCGs there is an increase of intestinal metaplastic cells, namely enterocytes and goblet cells. In addition, we show that enterocytes can be associated with four independent clusters with different markers. Finally, the increase in intestinal cells is accompanied by the loss of somatostatin-secreting D cells. We conclude that it is feasible to determine cellular proportions from omics-data.
