AbstractIntrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) tumor cells and their interactions with the immune microenvironment, particularly at the leading‐edge area, have been underexplored. This study employs single‐cell RNA sequencing (scRNA‐seq) and spatial transcriptome (ST) analysis on samples from the tumor core, adjacent non‐tumorous tissue, and the leading‐edge area of nine ICC patients. These findings indicate that tumor cells at the leading‐edge area demonstrate enhanced proliferation and are tightly associated with the stroma, including endothelial cells and POSTN+ FAP+ fibroblasts. Notably, CD8+ T cells in this region exhibit a naive phenotype with low cytotoxicity and signs of exhaustion, likely due to compromised antigen presentation by antigen‐presenting cells (APCs). The predominant CD8+ T cell subset, mucosal‐associated invariant T (MAIT) cells, recruits SPP1+ macrophages within the stroma. This interaction, along with the presence of POSTN+ cancer‐associated fibroblasts (CAFs) and endothelial cells, forms a unique “triad structure” that fosters tumor growth and ICC progression. The research highlights the intricate characteristics and interactions of ICC tumor cells in the leading‐edge area, offering insights into potential therapeutic targets for intervention.
