The clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) microenvironment consists of many different cell types and structural components that play critical roles in cancer progression and drug resistance, but the cellular architecture and underlying gene regulatory features of ccRCC have not been fully characterized. Here, we applied single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and single-cell assay for transposase-accessible chromatin sequencing (scATAC-seq) to generate transcriptional and epigenomic landscapes of ccRCC. We identified tumor cell-specific regulatory programs mediated by four key transcription factors (TFs) (HOXC5, VENTX, ISL1, and OTP), and these TFs have prognostic significance in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Targeting these TFs via short hairpin RNAs (shRNAs) or small molecule inhibitors decreased tumor cell proliferation. We next performed an integrative analysis of chromatin accessibility and gene expression for CD8 + T cells and macrophages to reveal the different regulatory elements in their subgroups. Furthermore, we delineated the intercellular communications mediated by ligand-receptor interactions within the tumor microenvironment. Taken together, our multiomics approach further clarifies the cellular heterogeneity of ccRCC and identifies potential therapeutic targets.
