Intestinal-type gastric cancer is preceded by premalignant lesions including chronic atrophic gastritis and intestinal metaplasia. In this study, we performed a scRNA-seq survey of 56,440 cells from thirteen gastric antral mucosa biopsies from nine patients with Non-atrophic gastritis (NAG), CAG, IM or early gastric cancer (EGC), and constructed a single-cell transcriptome atlas for gastric premalignant and early-malignant lesions. The thirteen biopsies, including three wild superficial gastritis (NAG) ones, three CAG ones, six IM ones and one EGC , spanned the cascade from gastritis to early gastric cancer.For each biopsy, we isolated single cells without prior selection for cell types and utilized the 10x Chromium platform to generate RNA-seq data. After removing low-quality cells (Methods), a total of 32, 332 cells that passed the quality control were retained for subsequent analysis, which yielded a median of 1941 detected genes per cell.
