Cochlear administration of adenosine triphosphate facilitates recovery from acoustic trauma (temporary threshold shift).

Parathyroid carcinoma (PC) is a rare but clinically aggressive endocrine malignancy with limited treatment options and a poorly defined tumor microenvironment (TME). To elucidate its cellular heterogeneity and spatial architecture, we integrated single-cell and spatial transcriptomic profiling with whole-exome sequencing and multiplex immunohistochemistry on eight parathyroid neoplasm specimens, including PC, parathyroid adenoma, and atypical parathyroid tumor. We identified a distinct progenitor-like endocrine subpopulation (Ca-1) enriched in CDC73-mutant PC, exhibiting stem-like properties, elevated cell cycle activity, and pronounced genomic instability. Spatial mapping revealed that Ca-1 cells preferentially localize at the leading edge, forming a fibroinflammatory niche characterized by the enrichment of inflammatory cancer-associated fibroblasts (iCAFs) and SPP1+ macrophages. Within this niche, the dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4) is selectively expressed in Ca-1 cells and iCAFs, implicating a potential paracrine axis driving stromal remodeling and immunosuppression. These findings suggest that a spatially organized ecosystem may promote PC progression through TME remodeling and highlight the DPP4-CXCL2 axis as a candidate pathway for future investigation in aggressive parathyroid neoplasms.
