Abstract 3648: AI-enabled 3D multimodal integration platform reveals subcellular architecture of tumor immune microenvironment for therapeutic target and biomarker discovery and patient selection
Background: Tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) organization fundamentally shapes cancer progression and immunotherapy outcomes. Traditional 2D spatial molecular approaches inadequately capture the complex three-dimensional architecture and cellular interactions within TIME. We developed an AI-driven platform integrating multiple spatial molecular datasets, enabling comprehensive 3D visualization for therapeutic discovery and patient selection. Methods: Our platform combines holotomography imaging, providing 3D refractive index maps, with diverse spatial molecular data: in situ molecular imaging, spatial proteomics, multiplex immunohistochemistry, and spatial transcriptomics. AI algorithms align datasets within a unified 3D coordinate system, while Poisson implicit surface reconstruction generates subcellular-resolution models. Platform validation used clinical samples from immunotherapy-treated patients. Results: The platform integrated multimodal spatial data into high-resolution 3D TIME representations, revealing novel relationships between protein expression, transcriptional patterns, and cellular architecture. 3D surface protein analysis with subcellular morphology identified patients with target protein expression outside tight junctions, indicating higher risk for adverse effects from antibody-drug conjugates and cellular therapies. This insight, unavailable through 2D analysis, enabled precise patient selection. Conclusions: This platform provides detailed subcellular-resolution TIME architecture analysis, offering actionable insights for therapeutic targeting, biomarker discovery, and patient selection. AI-driven 3D spatial multimodal TIME analysis advances precision medicine across multiple therapeutic approaches, including immunotherapy, targeted therapy, and drug delivery optimization.
