    The R-ISS (The Revised International Staging System) stratification system is a simple, reliable and widely used prognostic stratification system for multiple myeloma
    .

    Myeloma patients with different R-ISS stages presented significantly different prognosis
    .

    However, the reasons and regulatory networks that cause the significant prognostic differences between different R-ISS stages have not been elucidated, especially to explore the tumor heterogeneity at the single-cell transcriptome level
    .

    Recently, Yang Zhenglin's research group from Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital published a research paper entitled "Exploring the R-ISS stage-specific regular networks in the progression of Multiple Myeloma at single-cell resolution" in Science China Life Sciences, revealing that multiple myeloma Heterogeneity of tumor regulatory networks between different stages of R-ISS in tumor patients
    .

    Professor Yang Zhenglin's research group collected bone marrow samples from patients with different R-ISS stages and found that plasma cells were divided into 9 subgroups (P1-P9) at the single-cell transcriptome level, and the 5 subgroups P1-P5 were mainly concentrated in R-ISS stage III patients.
    in
    .

    Among them, PDIA6 was significantly enriched in the P3 subgroup, and LETM1 was significantly enriched in the P1 subgroup
    .

    Both myeloma cell lines and myeloma cells isolated from clinical patients were used to verify that the two were significantly overexpressed in MM patients, especially in stage III patients
    .

    In this study, it was further found that PDIA6 may be activated by UQCRB and participate in the occurrence and development of MM through the oxidative phosphorylation pathway; LETM1 may be regulated by STAT1 to accelerate the process of MM through the C-type lectin pathway
    .

    The above regulatory network was verified by RNA interference experiments and cell proliferation ability experiments
    .

    Meanwhile, a subset of monocytes (M4) was only enriched in R-ISS stage III, and this subset specifically expressed the cytokines CCL3, CCL5, and CCL3L1
    .

    These cytokines act as ligand receptors that are only significantly active in phase III by binding to the CCR1 receptor on myeloma cells
    .

    This study explored the molecular markers, regulatory networks, and dialogue patterns that were specifically enriched in multiple myeloma patients in different R-ISS stages, laying the foundation for a deep understanding of tumor heterogeneity and precise treatment of multiple myeloma
