Archetypes with associated PNEC-related tasks and the cancer hallmark functions they optimizea

Archetype Associated PNEC task Optimized function for increased tumor fitness
SCLC-A Proliferation Increased cell proliferationb
SCLC-A2 Neuro- and immuno-modulatory signaling Evading immune destruction and tumor-promoting inflammation
SCLC-N Slithering and axon-like protrusions Activating invasion and metastasisb
SCLC-P Chemosensation and metabolism Reprogramming energy metabolism
SCLC-Y Transdifferentiation to non-NE state in response to injury Inducing angiogenesis and resisting cell death

All enriched Cancer Hallmark Gene Sets are shown in Table S4.

b

Cancer hallmark is inferred from GO term enrichment rather than the enrichment of Cancer Hallmark Gene Sets.
