Feature recognition of 142 paraffin-embedded hematoxylin-eosin-stained tumor section images was conducted using a Swin-Transformer for pathological histology to predict NB-BBM occurrence. Single-cell transcriptomics identified a tumor cell subpopulation (NB3) and two tumor-associated macrophage (TAM) subpopulations (SPP1<sup>+</sup> TAMs and IGHM<sup>+</sup> TAMs) closely associated with BBM and highlighted transketolase (TKT) as a key molecular marker for metastatic progression in NB. This extensive multi-omics investigation into NB-BBM enhances our understanding of single-cell transcriptional dynamics in NB beyond existing research, outlining the evolution from <em>in situ</em> carcinoma through tumorigenesis to bone marrow metastases. Furthermore, exploration of the immune microenvironment identified specific subpopulations of TAMs crucial in promoting NB-BBM, presenting new avenues for immunotherapy. These insights enhance our understanding of the metastatic process from NB to BBM and facilitate the development of more effective diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for this aggressive pediatric cancer.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":12689,"journal":{"name":"Genes & Diseases","volume":"12 3","pages":"Article 101511"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143464631","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, numerous studies failed to focus on the integration of cellular heterogeneity and immunophenotyping in the prediction of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients' response to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). We categorized HCC patients into various immune subtypes based on feature scores linked to ICI response. Single-cell sequencing technology was to investigate the cellular heterogeneity of different immune subtypes and acquire significant ICI response-associated cells. Candidate drugs were identified using a blend of various drug databases and network approaches. HCC patients were divided into two distinct immune subtypes based on characterization scores of 151 immune-related gene sets. Patients in both subtypes showed varying overall survival, immunity levels, biological activities, and TP53 mutation rates. Subtype 1-related natural killer cells showed a positive correlation with immune-promoting scores but a negative correlation with immune-suppressing scores. Notably, docetaxel sensitivity in HCC patients rose as the levels of subtype 1-related natural killer cells increased. Our study demonstrated that immune subtypes have cellular heterogeneity in predicting response to ICIs. A combination of subtype 1-associated natural killer cells and docetaxel may offer new hope for ICI treatment in HCC.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":12689,"journal":{"name":"Genes & Diseases","volume":"12 3","pages":"Article 101471"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143478555","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
