The Mutational Landscape Defines the Proteome and Spatial Organization of Tumor, Stroma, and Immune cells in Ovarian Cancer

Kruttika Dabke, PhD (Cedars Sinai Medical Center) and her team used a 26-plex panel on the PhenoCycler-Fusion platform to profile 36 million cells and map the tumor immune landscape of high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC), exploring how the HGSOC immune landscape is rearranged after treatment and how that is influenced by homologous recombination repair (HRR) mutations.
Conclusion

This study demonstrates the advantages of single-cell spatial phenotyping enabled by the PhenoCycler®-Fusion system for a comprehensive analysis of the cellular composition and spatial structuring of the tumor microenvironment (TME) in primary and recurrent HGSOC tumors. Comparative spatial analyses of homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) and proficiency (HRP) revealed several significant spatial organizational differences. These differences could not be discerned by merely counting cells without knowing their specific locations within the tissue.
