Project description:Identification of cell types in the interphase between muscle and tendon by single-nuclei RNA-seq of three human semitendinous muscle-tendon biopsies. With special focus on the myotendinous junction specific myonuclei, transcripts were identified and confirmed to myotendinous junction with immunofluorescence.

Project description:CTCLs are a group of non-Hodgkin lymphomas, with non-aggressive forms (Mycosis fungoides (MF)) initially presenting with features of cutaneous eczema or psoriasis, posing a challenge for clinical and histological diagnosis. Using spatial transcriptomics, we hope to delineate the molecular signatures of CTCL to provide novel avenues for diagnostics and therapies.

Project description:We applied a spatially resolved, high-dimensional transcriptomic approach to study MPM morpho-logical evolution. 139 regions across 8 biphasic MPMs (B-MPMs) were profiled using the GeoMx™Digital Spatial Profiler and Cancer Transcriptome Atlas to compare epithelioid and sarcomatoid components transcriptional profile and reconstruct the positional context of transcriptional activities and the spatial topology of MPM cells interactions.

Project description:Tendon from young and old donors was used for RNA-Seq analysis. The aim of the study was to identify differentially expressed tendon transcripts in ageing in order to to characterize molecular mechanisms associated with age-related changes in tendon.

Project description:B cell-interacting reticular cells (BRC) form transcriptionally and topologically stable immune-interacting microenvironments that direct efficient humoral immunity. While several immune niche factors have been elucidated, the cues sustaining BRC function and topology across activation states remain unclear. Here, we employed spatial transcriptome analysis of murine ingunal and mesenteric lymph nodes to examine co-localization of distinct BRC subsets and immune cells complementing BRC-immune cell interaction analysis. Spatial analysis supported predicted feedforward BRC-immune cell circuits that sustain topologically-organized, functional niches across inflammatory states, lymphoid organs and species.

Project description:Morphological studies of skeletal muscle tissue have provided detailed insights into the architecture of muscle fibers, the surrounding cells, and the extracellular matrix. However, a spatial proteomics analysis of the skeletal muscle, including the muscle-tendon transition zone, is lacking. Here, we prepared thin cryotome muscle sections along the longitudinal axis of the mouse soleus muscle and measured each muscle slice using short LC-MS gradients. We generated more than 3000 high-resolution longitudinal protein profiles of central to distal skeletal muscle regions and created a molecular network of different skeletal muscle regions that reveals the complex architecture of the muscle-tendon transition zone. Among the proteins that show an increasing profile from muscle to tendon, we find proteins related to neuronal activity, fatty acid biosynthesis, and the renin-angiotensin system (RAS). Blocking the RAS in cultured mouse tenocytes using losartan reduces the synthesis of extracellular matrix proteins, including collagen and fibronectin. Overall, our analysis of thin cryotome sections provides a spatial proteome of skeletal muscle and reveals that the RAS acts as an additional regulator of the matrix within muscle-tendon junctions.

Project description:Using Multiome and previously published sc/snRNA-seq data, we studied eight anatomical regions of the human heart including left and right ventricular free walls (LV and RV), left and right atria (LA and RA), left ventricular apex (AX), interventricular septum (SP), sino-atrial node (SAN) and atrioventricular node (AVN). For the first time, we profile the cells of the human cardiac conduction system, revealing their distinctive repertoire of ion channels, G-protein coupled receptors and cell-cell interactions. We map the identified cells to spatial transcriptomic data to discover cellular niches within the eight regions of the heart.

Project description:We developed cell2location, a principled and versatile Bayesian model that is designed to resolve fine-grained cell types in spatial transcriptomic data and create comprehensive cellular maps of diverse tissues. To validate cell2location in real tissue, we applied the model to data from the mouse brain, which features diverse neural cell types organised in a well characterised spatial architecture across brain areas, thus presenting a canonical use case to test spatial genomics. We generated matched single nucleus (sn, this submission) and Visium spatial RNA-seq (10X Genomics) profiles of adjacent mouse brain sections that contain multiple regions from the telencephalon and diencephalon. To assess the biological and intra-organ technical variation in spatial mapping, we assayed two mouse brains and serial tissue sections from each brain (total of 3 and 2 matched sections from two animals, respectively, and an extra section for snRNA-seq), creating a rich multi-modal and replicated transcriptomic dataset. Tissue processing. Brains of wild-type adult C57BL/6 mice (postnatal day 56, 1 female and 1 male) were dissected, snap frozen, embedded in optimal cutting temperature compound (Tissue-Tek) and stored at -80oC. Brain hemispheres were cryosectioned at -20oC using a cryostat (Leica, CM3050S). To assess tissue quality, RNA was extracted from test tissue sections using the RNeasy Pico Kit (Qiagen) and yielded high RIN values (9.6 and 9.7) on an Agilent Bioanalyser, indicating high RNA quality. For matched single nuclei and Visium RNA-seq experiments, brain hemispheres were cryosectioned to adjacent thick (200 µm) and thin (10 µm) coronal sections, respectively, and processed the same day. In total, four consecutive sets of thick and thin tissue sections were collected from each brain. Five sets of tissue sections yielded both good quality single nuclei and Visium data (three adjacent sections from mouse 1 and two sections from mouse 2) while one additional section from mouse 2 yielded good single nuclei; these were considered for analysis in this study. Visium spatial transcriptomics. Thin (10 µm) mouse brain sections were cryosectioned and mounted directly onto separate capture areas on 10X Visium Spatial Gene Expression slides (beta product version). Processing was done per manufacturer’s protocols. Briefly, sections were methanol-fixed, hematoxylin and eosin (H&E)-stained, and imaged on a NanoZoomer 2.0 slide scanner (Hamamatsu). Sections were then permeabilized and further processed to obtain cDNA libraries that were quality controlled using the Agilent Bioanalyser. The cDNA libraries were sequenced on the Illumina HiSeq 4000 system, aiming at 300 million raw reads per section with read lengths 28cy R1, 8cy i7 index, 0cy i5 index, 91cy read 2. 10X Visium spatial sequencing data was aligned to mouse pre-mRNA genome reference version mm10 using 10X SpaceRanger and mRNA count matrices were generated by adding intronic and exonic reads for each gene in each location. The paired histology H&E images were processed using 10X SpaceRanger to select locations covered by tissue by aligning pre-recorded spot locations with fiducial border spots in the histology image. This allows evaluating the correspondence between cell maps produced using our method and the known brain anatomy. This also allows identifying the number of nuclei in each spot using nuclear segmentation as described in Suppl. Methods and reported in Fig S8A-D. The histology image was used to manually annotate cortical layers in the primary somatosensory cortex (SSp) region using the lasso tool in the 10X Loupe browser.
