<p>Immune responses to cancer vary across cancer types and patients. Colorectal cancer tumors with mismatch repair-deficiency (MMRd) show an elevated immune cell activity as compared to mismatch repair proficient (MMRp) tumors. To understand the immune response patterns in these two types of colorectal cancer, we transcriptionally profiled 371,223 tumor and adjacent normal cells from 28 MMRp and 34 MMRd patients. Unsupervised analysis identified 88 cell subsets, from 7 distinct cell clusters (that contain epithelial, malignant, stromal and immune cell lineages), and an associated compendium of 204 gene expression programs. Examination of these cell subsets and programs revealed extensive transcriptional and spatial remodeling of malignant, stromal and immune cells in MMRd and MMRp tumors. This dataset was generated as part of a published study (Pelka, Hofree, Chen, et al., <i>Cell</i> 2021 Sep 2;184(18):4734-4752; PMID: <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34450029/">34450029</a>).</p>
