Abstract

Osteosarcoma is the most common malignant bone tumor in young patients and remains a significant clinical challenge, particularly in the context of metastatic disease. Despite extensive documentation of genomic alterations in osteosarcoma, studies detailing the immunosuppressive mechanisms within the metastatic osteosarcoma microenvironment are lacking. Our objective was to characterize the spatial transcriptional landscape of metastatic osteosarcoma to reveal these immunosuppressive mechanisms and identify promising therapeutic targets. Here, we performed spatial transcriptional profiling on a cohort of osteosarcoma pulmonary metastases from pediatric patients. We reveal a conserved spatial gene expression pattern resembling a foreign body granuloma, characterized by peripheral inflammatory signaling, fibrocollagenous encapsulation, lymphocyte exclusion, and peritumoral macrophage accumulation. We also show that the intratumoral microenvironment of these lesions lack inflammatory signaling. Additionally, we identified CXCR4 as an actionable immunomodulatory target that bridges both the intratumoral and extratumoral microenvironments and highlights the spatial heterogeneity and complexity of this pathway. Collectively, this study reveals that metastatic osteosarcoma specimens are comprised of multiple regionally distinct immunosuppressive microenvironments.

摘要

骨肉瘤是年轻患者中最常见的恶性骨肿瘤,仍然是一个重大的临床挑战,特别是在转移性疾病的情况下。尽管骨肉瘤的基因组改变已有大量记录,但缺乏详细描述转移性骨肉瘤微环境中免疫抑制机制的研究。我们的目标是描绘转移性骨肉瘤的空间转录图谱,以揭示这些免疫抑制机制并确定有前景的治疗靶点。在此,我们对一组来自儿科患者的骨肉瘤肺转移灶进行了空间转录分析。我们揭示了一种类似于异物肉芽肿的保守空间基因表达模式,其特征为外周炎症信号、纤维胶原包裹、淋巴细胞排斥和肿瘤周围巨噬细胞聚集。我们还表明,这些病变的肿瘤内微环境缺乏炎症信号。此外,我们确定CXCR4是一个可操作的免疫调节靶点,它连接肿瘤内和肿瘤外微环境,并突出了该通路的空间异质性和复杂性。总体而言,这项研究表明转移性骨肉瘤标本由多个区域不同的免疫抑制微环境组成。
