Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Heatmaps depict the enrichment of immune and non-immune cell types in the immediate neighborhood of CCR7 + DCs in NSCLC spatial transcriptomic data ( n = 4). (B) (Left) Representative FOV displaying CCR7 + DCs (HLA-DR + LAMP3 + ; yellow) located near BVs (CD31 + PDPN − ; magenta) and Tregs (CD4 + FOXP3 + ; white) in one HNSCC sample using high-plex whole-tissue imaging. Scale bar represents 20 μm. (Right) Box plots display the frequencies of BV-associated, LV-associated, and non-vessel-associated CCR7 + DCs close (<5 μm) to Tregs among all tumor CCR7 + DCs with nearby Tregs. Wilcoxon test, whiskers represent min to max; * p < 0.05. (C) Correlations between CCR7 + DCs and Tregs within CD45 + cells, as determined by scRNA-seq in multiple human cancer types. Spearman rank correlation; significant correlations are shown with a fitted red line. (D) (Left) Scheme outlining the analyses of CCR7 + DCs and Tregs in NSCLC samples. Patients with numerous (>5) CCR7 + DC clusters ( n = 12) were selected for downstream analyses. (Right) Frequency of CCR7 + DCs (CD11c + LAMP3 + ) with at least one nearby (<50 μm) Treg (CD4 + FOXP3 + ) in each individual patient. Numbers of FOVs analyzed per sample are as follows: NR01, n = 126; NR06, n = 455; NR09, n = 180; NR12, n = 79; NR26, n = 293; R11, n = 122; R15, n = 205; R35, n = 175; R37, n = 459; R45, n = 276. (E) (Left) Scheme outlining the analysis of tumor biopsies from HNSCC patients before immunotherapy (pre-IO). Patients were divided into non-responders (NR, n = 5) and responders (R, n = 5) based on the assessment of clinical response at 6 months. (Right) CCR7 + DC shortest distance to Tregs, T CONV , and CD8 + T cells in NR versus R tumors. Data are shown for all CCR7 + DCs compiled (NR tumors, n = 1,457 cells; R tumors, n = 1,324 cells). Unpaired t test, whiskers represent min to max; **** p < 0.0001. Numbers of FOVs analyzed per sample as in (D). (F) (Left) Scheme outlining the analyses of CCR7 + DC-CD8 + T cell niches. (Right) Frequencies of CCR7 + DC-CD8 + T cell niches with or without Tregs in their proximity (<100 μm). Two-way ANOVA with multiple comparisons, whiskers represent min to max; * p < 0.05. Numbers of FOVs analyzed per sample as in (D). (G) Representative FOV displaying CCR7 + DCs (FSCN1 + cells; FSCN1 in yellow) located near BVs (CD31 + LYVE-1 − cells; CD31 in magenta) and Tregs (FOXP3 + cells; FOXP3 in white) in untreated MC38 tumors. Scale bar represents 50 μm. (H) Correlations between the numbers of CCR7 + DCs and Tregs per mg of tumor tissue, as determined by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) analyses of MC38 and D4M3. A tumors. Spearman rank correlation; significant correlations are shown with a fitted red line. (I) Box plots show the frequencies of tumor CCR7 + DCs close (<5 μm) to Tregs that are associated to BVs or LVs in MC38 tumors ( n = 7). Whole-tumor sections were analyzed. Paired t test, whiskers represent min to max; **** p < 0.0001. See also and .

Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) (Left) Scheme outlining the experimental setup for bulk RNA-seq analyses of tumor-derived CCR7 + DCs. (Right) GO pathway enrichment analyses performed on differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in CCR7 + DCs in MC38 tumors ( n = 4) from Treg-depleted ( FoxP3 -DTR) compared with Treg-sufficient (WT) mice. Bar plot indicates the −log 10 raw binomial p -values of the top 10 most enriched pathways in CCR7 + DCs. (B) (Left) Experimental setup for ex vivo stimulation of OT-I CD8 + T cells with tumor CCR7 + DCs. (Right) Percentage of OT-I CD8 + T cells that proliferated after 5-day culture with OVA 257–264 peptides-loaded CCR7 + DCs isolated from WT or Treg-depleted tumors. As a control, CCR7 + DCs without OVA 257–264 peptides were used. Two-way ANOVA with multiple comparisons, whiskers represent min to max; ** p < 0.01. (C) (Left) Relative gene expression levels analyzed by bulk RNA-seq. Each dot represents one mouse ( n = 4), whiskers represent mean to max. Unpaired t test with multiple comparisons; * p < 0.05.
