Macrophage (Mφ) repolarization from a pro-tumor, immunosuppressive phenotype towards an anti-tumor, pro-inflammatory state represents a promising therapeutic strategy in patients with cancer1. Successful reprogramming of Mφ in a clinical setting has not been documented. Here, we traced the evolution at single-cell resolution of a diffuse midline glioma (DMG) with H3K27M mutation which metastasized in the abdomen after placing a ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt and exploited this information for therapeutic decision-making. The primary tumor showed a complex cellular and genomic landscape characterized by heterogeneous cancer cells and a tumor-supportive immune microenvironment. Upon metastasis, malignant cells populated the peritoneum and triggered a massive anti-inflammatory immune cell infiltration and expansion of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) in peripheral blood. Hydroxychloroquine adjuvant treatment started to overcome the immunosuppressive milieu, which resulted in a decrease in peritoneal cancer cells and pro-tumor innate immune cells. Importantly, an emergence of anti-tumor, pro-inflammatory macrophages and cytotoxic T-cells was observed, accompanied by the activation of monocytes in the blood. Our study advocates the employment of single-cell technologies to better understand and inspire therapeutic regimens in patients with cancer.

One of the most characteristic features of cancer cells is their ability to metastasia. It is suggested that the modifications of the structure and properties of cancer cells surfaces play the main role in this process. The present work was aimed at finding out what ultrastructural features apear in tumor in vivo which removal of individual cancer cells from the cell population can provide. For this purpose the cellular interactions in the normal human thyroid and cancer tumor of this gland electron microscopic were studied. The tissues were fixed in osmium tetroxide and were embedded in Araldite-Epon.In normal human thyroid the most common type of intercellular contacts was represented by simple junction formed by the parallelalignment of adjacent cell membranees leaving in between an intermembranes space 15-20 nm filled with electronlucid material (Fig. 1a). Sometimes in the basal part of cells dilatations of the intercellular space 40-50 nm wide were found (Fig. 1a). Here the cell surfaces may form single short microvilli.

On the basis of light microscopic observation, the ultrastructural localization of CEA in gastric cancer was studied by immunoelectron microscopic technique. The distribution of CEA in gastric cancer and its biological significance and the mechanism of abnormal distribution of CEA were further discussed.Among 104 surgically resected specimens of gastric cancer with PAP method at light microscopic level, the incidence of CEA(+) was 85.58%. All of mucinous carcinoma exhibited CEA(+). In tubular adenocarcinoma the incidence of CEA(+) showed a tendency to rising with the increase of degree of differentiation. In normal epithelia and intestinal metaplasia CEA was faintly present and was found only in the luminal surface. The CEA staining patterns in cancer cells were of three types--- cytoplasmic, membranous and weak reactive type. The ultrastructural localization of CEA in 14 cases of gastric cancer was studied by immunoelectron microscopic technique.There was a little or no CEA in the microvilli of normal epithelia. In intestinal metaplasia CEA was found on the microvilli of absorptive cells and among the mucus particles of goblet cells. In gastric cancer CEA was also distributed on the lateral and basal surface or even over the entire surface of cancer cells and lost their polarity completely. Many studies had proved that the alterations in surface glycoprotein were characteristic changes of tumor cells. The antigenic determinant of CEA was glycoprotein, so the alterations of tumor-associated surface glycoprotein opened up a new way for the diagnosis of tumors.
