Abstract [en]

Melanoma brain metastases (MBM) exhibit extensive intertumor and intratumor heterogeneity (ITH), driven by a complex tumor microenvironment. The aim of this study was to perform a detailed analysis of individual MBM patient tumors using a multiomics approach, integrating spatial transcriptomics with multi-region bulk exome, proteome, and transcriptome profiling for a small group of four patient samples. We identified significant patient-specific variations in immune cell infiltration, particularly in B/plasma cells, myeloid cells, and cancerassociated fibroblasts (CAFs). Notably, immunotherapy-treated patients showed enriched pathways related to epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) signaling, oxidative phosphorylation, T-cell signaling, inflammation and DNA damage, which aligned with distinct cellular compositions observed in the spatial analysis. We also uncovered considerable ITH, especially at the protein level, revealing differential
