Osteosarcoma (OS) has high heterogeneity and poor prognosis. In order to explore the molecular mechanism of OS and the tumor micro-environment (TME) on OS, we employed single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) on 110,745 individual cells from OS primary lesion, recurrent focal and metastatic tissues. We identified 5 main malignant subpopulations of OS cells, 3 clusters of osteoclast(OC) and 2 types of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs). Further we found that the progenitor OC and, antigen presenting CAF (apCAF) were lower in lung metastatic and recurrent tumor tissues than in primary tumor tissue. M2-like macrophages were predominant in the TME myeloid cells. Inactivation state of tumor-infiltrating T cells, mainly the CD4-/CD8-T and Treg cells, existed in lung metastatic tissues. T-cell immunoreceptor with Ig and ITIM domains (TIGIT) expressed in 11 samples. We then blocked TIGIT which significantly enhancd the cytotoxic effects of primary T cells on OS cell lines. Our report represents the first use of scRNA-seq for the transcriptomic profiling of OS cells. Thus, the findings in this study will serve as a valuable resource for deciphering the intra-tumoral heterogeneity in OS and provide potential therapeutic strategies for OS in clinic.
