The heterogeneity of colorectal cancer (CRC) contributes to substantial differences in patient response to standard therapies. The consensus molecular subtypes (CMS) of CRC is the most widely-used gene expression-based classification and has contributed to a better understanding of disease heterogeneity and prognosis. Nevertheless, CMS intratumoral heterogeneity restricts its clinical application, stressing the necessity of further characterizing the composition and architecture of CRC. Here, we used Spatial Transcriptomics (ST) in combination with single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to decipher the spatially resolved cellular and molecular composition of CRC. In addition to mapping the intratumoral heterogeneity of CMS and their microenvironment, we identified cell communication events in the tumor-stroma interface of CMS2 carcinomas. This includes tumor growth-inhibiting as well as -activating signatures, such as RNF43-dependent modulation of the WNT pathway or the PLAU-PLAUR ligand-receptor interaction. Our data show the power of ST to bring the CMS-based classification of CRC to another level and thereby gain useful molecular insights for personalized therapy.
