Immune checkpoint blockade endows patients with unparalleled success in conquering cancer. Unfortunately, inter-individual heterogeneity causes failure in controlling tumors in many patients. Emerging mass cytometry technology is capable of revealing a multiscale onco-immune landscape that improves the efficacy of cancer immunotherapy. We introduced mass cytometry to determine the personalized immune checkpoint status in bone marrow and peripheral blood samples from 3 patients with multiple myeloma, amyloid light-chain amyloidosis, and solitary bone plasmacytoma and 1 non-hematologic malignancy patient. The expression of 18 immune regulatory receptors and ligands on 17 defined cell populations was simultaneously examined. By single-cell analyses, we identified the T cell clusters that serve as immunosuppressive signal source and revealed integrated immune checkpoint axes of individuals, thereby providing multiple potential immunotherapeutic targets, including programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1), inducible co-stimulator (ICOS), and cluster of differentiation 28 (CD28), for each patient. Distinguishing the cell populations that function as providers and receivers of the immune checkpoint signals demonstrated a distinct cross-interaction network of immunomodulatory signals in individuals. These in-depth personalized data demonstrate mass cytometry as a powerful innovation to discover the systematical immune status in the primary and peripheral tumor microenvironment.
