Clinical relevance of TME characterization of neuroblastoma based on RNA-seq.

Cluster Risk/Outcome TME Characterization MYCN Amplification Pro-Tumor TME Elements Anti-Tumor TME Elements
1 Ultra-high-risk/Very Poor Cold, immune excluded MYCN-A >>> MYCN-NA Low MHC Low infiltrate
2 Low-risk/Favorable Immune irrelevant (Stage 4S) MYCN-NA N/A N/A
3 High-risk/Moderate Hot, cytotoxic MYCN-NA >> MYCN-A Low suppressive and stromal; immune checkpoints High infiltrate, high MHC
4a High-risk/Poor Intermediate cytotoxic MYCN-NA >> MYCN-A MDSCs, high stromal; immune checkpoints Higher than 4b
4b High-risk/Poor Immunosuppressive MYCN-NA >> MYCN-A MDSCs, high stromal Lower than 4a
