    Abstract Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in cancer cells confers migratory abilities, a crucial aspect in the metastasis of tumors that frequently leads to death. In multiple studies, authors proposed gene expression signatures for EMT, stemness, or mesenchymality of tumors based on bulk tumor expression profiling. However, recent studies suggested that noncancerous cells from the microenvironment or macroenvironment heavily influence such signature profiles. Here, we strengthen these findings by investigating 11 published and frequently referenced gene expression signatures that were proposed to describe EMT-related (EMT, mesenchymal, or stemness) characteristics in various cancer types. By analyses of bulk, single-cell, and pseudobulk expression data, we show that the cell type composition of a tumor sample frequently dominates scores of these EMT-related signatures. A comprehensive, integrated analysis of bulk RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) and single-cell RNA-seq data shows that stromal cells, most often fibroblasts, are the main drivers of EMT-related signature scores. We call attention to the risk of false conclusions about tumor properties when interpreting EMT-related signatures, especially in a clinical setting: high patient scores of EMT-related signatures or calls of "stemness subtypes" often result from low cancer cell content in tumor biopsies rather than cancer cell-specific stemness or mesenchymal/EMT characteristics.
    Significance: Cancer self-renewal and migratory abilities are often characterized via gene module expression profiles, also called EMT or stemness gene expression signatures. Using published clinical tumor samples, cancer cell lines, and single cancer cells, we highlight the dominating influence of noncancer cells in low cancer cell content biopsies on their scores. We caution on their application for low cancer cell content clinical cancer samples with the intent to assign such characteristics or subtypes.

    Abstract Background: Robust immune cell gene expression signatures are central to the analysis of single cell studies. Nearly all known sets of immune cell signatures have been derived by making use of only single gene expression datasets. Utilizing the power of multiple integrated datasets could lead to high-quality immune cell signatures which could be used as superior inputs to machine learning-based cell type classification approaches.
    Results: We established a novel workflow for the discovery of immune cell type signatures based primarily on gene-versus-gene expression similarity. It leverages multiple datasets, here seven single cell expression datasets from six different cancer types and resulted in eleven immune cell type-specific gene expression signatures. We used these to train random forest classifiers for immune cell type assignment for single-cell RNA-seq datasets. We obtained similar or better prediction results compared to commonly used methods for cell type assignment in independent benchmarking datasets. Our gene signature set yields higher prediction scores than other published immune cell type gene sets in random forest-based cell type classification. We further demonstrate how our approach helps to avoid bias in downstream statistical analyses by re-analysis of a published IFN stimulation experiment.
    Discussion and conclusion: We demonstrated the quality of our immune cell signatures and their strong performance in a random forest-based cell typing approach. We argue that classifying cells based on our comparably slim sets of genes accompanied by a random forest-based approach not only matches or outperforms widely used published approaches. It also facilitates unbiased downstream statistical analyses of differential gene expression between cell types for significantly more genes compared to previous cell classification algorithms.

    Abstract Transcriptomics, or more specifically mRNA sequencing, is a powerful tool to study gene expression at the single-cell level (scRNA-seq) which enables new insights into a plethora of biological processes. While methods for single-cell RNA-seq in eukaryotes are well established, application to prokaryotes is still challenging. Reasons for that are rigid and diverse cell wall structures hampering lysis, the lack of polyadenylated transcripts impeding mRNA enrichment, and minute amounts of RNA requiring amplification steps before sequencing. Despite those obstacles, several promising scRNA-seq approaches for bacteria have been published recently, albeit difficulties in the experimental workflow and data processing and analysis remain. In particular, bias is often introduced by amplification which makes it difficult to distinguish between technical noise and biological variation. Future optimization of experimental procedures and data analysis algorithms are needed for the improvement of scRNA-seq but also to aid in the emergence of prokaryotic single-cell multi-omics. to help address 21st century challenges in the biotechnology and health sector.
