Abstract

How drug treatments reshape immune and metabolic states within intact tumors remains difficult to study with existing methods. We introduce a spatial pharmacology platform that enables parallel analysis of multiple agents within a single tumor, linking local drug exposure to immune and metabolic remodeling. Using a microdevice for localized drug delivery, we created a large-scale paired CyCIF-MALDI dataset spanning 1.5 million cells across 27 MMTV-PyMT tumor sections and nine treatment programs, enabling integrated spatial pharmacology at unprecedented scale. Metabolic signatures robustly predict proteomic spatial neighborhoods establishing metabolism as a powerful predictor of tumor organization and immune phenotype. Within this framework, we identify a dominant metabolic axis defined by the myeloid polarization between CSF1R+ tumor-associated macrophages and MPO+ infiltrating myeloid cells localized near regions of drug-induced tumor cell death. Finally, we detect putative lipid-associated macrophage (LAM)-like populations within drug-resistant treatment regions.
