Abstract 624P
Background
Most cancer immunotherapy research focuses on gene-level expression, often bypassing the key role of alternative splicing in producing various isoform transcripts. Alternative splicing contributes significantly to tumor heterogeneity, progression, and therapy response1-3. Understanding these dynamics is paramount for advancing personalized treatment strategies.
Methods
1. Data Integration - Integrated multi-omics data from diverse tumor types. - Focused on immune cells within the tumor microenvironment. 2. Sample collection - Gathered data from both pre- and post-immunotherapy treated patients. - Included clinical response details for comprehensive insights. 3. Isoform analysis - Constructed a single-cell isoform atlas capturing the landscape of alternative splicing events and isoform expression profiles across a vast array of cancers. - Investigated patterns of isoform diversity/plasticity: - Within and between different cancer types. - Between pre- and post-treatment scenarios. - Among responders vs. non-responders.
Results
Pan-cancer isoform signatures - For each cancer type and at the pan-cancer level, the isoform patterns of immune cell types linked with oncogenic processes between (i) healthy and cancer; (ii) pre- and post-treatment; (iii) immunotherapy responders and non-responders.
Conclusions
Our pan-cancer single-cell isoform atlas offers a groundbreaking perspective on isoform dynamics in cancer immune environment, enriching our comprehension of tumor intricacies and bolstering efforts toward precision oncology for individualized patient care.
