摘要

Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation is a key oncogenic driver in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), but its impact on the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) remains unclear. By integrating single-cell transcriptomes from 153 LUAD samples using machine learning, we generated an atlas of over one million cells that delineates immune heterogeneity. EGFR-mutant tumors exhibited enrichment of TIGIT+regulatory T cells, neutrophils, and macrophages, whereas wild-type tumors contained abundant ZNF683+CD8+tissue-resident memory T cells, diverse memory B cells, and FGFBP2+CD16high natural killer cells, reflecting an immune-active TIME. Non-negative matrix factorization defined five TIME subtypes, with EGFR-mutant patients clustering into immunosuppressive profiles linked to poor prognosis. Flow cytometry and mouse models confirmed the cytotoxic and PD-1 blockade-enhancing functions of FGFBP2+NK cells. These findings reveal distinct TIME landscapes in EGFR-mutant LUAD and illustrate the potential of machine learning-based immunogenomic analysis to inform precision immunotherapy.
