Author(s): Jun Zhou [1]; Shengxi Wang [1]; Ming Liu [2]; Zhaopei Li (corresponding author) [1] INTRODUCTION Immune checkpoint inhibitors are one of the standard treatment options for non-small-cell lung cancer [...], Background: Cryoablation induces antitumor immune responses. Spatial transcriptomic landscape technology has been used to determine the micron-level panoramic transcriptomics of tissue slices in situ. Methods: The effects of cryoablation on the immune microenvironment in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) were explored by comparing the Whole Transcriptome Atlas (WTA) panel of immune cells before and after cryoablation using the spatial transcriptomic landscape. Results: The bioinformatics analysis showed that cryoablation significantly affected the WTA of immune cells, particularly genes related to cellular components, biological processes, molecular functions, proliferation and migration, and cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction signaling pathways. Conclusions: The findings of this study suggest that cryoablation significantly impacts the biological functions of immune cells in the tumor microenvironment of NSCLC through multiple mechanisms. Keywords: Cryoablation, immune microenvironment, non-small cell lung cancer, spatial transcriptomic landscape
