Protocol for acquiring high-quality fresh mouse lung spatial transcriptomics data.

ABSTRACT: Spatial transcriptomics analysis allows the examination of the biological characteristics and spatial distribution of individual lung cells at a single-cell resolution. However, due to the presence of cavities in the alveoli of the lungs, it is challenging to section them for spatial transcriptomics experiments. Here, we present a protocol for acquiring high-quality fresh mouse lung spatial transcriptomics data. We describe steps for lung perfusion, acquiring frozen slices, collecting cDNA from lung sections, and data analysis. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Jiang et al.¹.

Protocol for high-resolution 3D spatial transcriptomics using Open-ST.

Project description:Spatial transcriptomics (ST) is fundamental for understanding molecular mechanisms in health and disease. Here, we present a protocol for efficient and high-resolution ST in 2D/3D with Open-ST. We describe all steps for repurposing Illumina flow cells into spatially barcoded capture areas and preparing ST libraries from stained cryosections. We detail the computational workflow for generating 2D/3D molecular maps ("virtual tissue blocks"), aligned with histological data, unlocking molecular pathways in space. Open-ST is applicable to any tissue, including clinical samples. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Schott et al.1.

Clustering spatial transcriptomics data.

Project description:MotivationRecent advancements in fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) techniques enable them to concurrently obtain information on the location and gene expression of single cells. A key question in the initial analysis of such spatial transcriptomics data is the assignment of cell types. To date, most studies used methods that only rely on the expression levels of the genes in each cell for such assignments. To fully utilize the data and to improve the ability to identify novel sub-types, we developed a new method, FICT, which combines both expression and neighborhood information when assigning cell types.ResultsFICT optimizes a probabilistic function that we formalize and for which we provide learning and inference algorithms. We used FICT to analyze both simulated and several real spatial transcriptomics data. As we show, FICT can accurately identify cell types and sub-types, improving on expression only methods and other methods proposed for clustering spatial transcriptomics data. Some of the spatial sub-types identified by FICT provide novel hypotheses about the new functions for excitatory and inhibitory neurons.Availability and implementationFICT is available at: https://github.com/haotianteng/FICT.Supplementary informationSupplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

Interpretable Spatial Gradient Analysis for Spatial Transcriptomics Data.

Project description:Cellular anatomy and signaling vary across niches, which can induce gradated gene expressions in subpopulations of cells. Such spatial transcriptomic gradient (STG) makes a significant source of intratumor heterogeneity and can influence tumor invasion, progression, and response to treatment. Here we report Local Spatial Gradient Inference (LSGI), a computational framework that systematically identifies spatial locations with prominent, interpretable STGs from spatial transcriptomic (ST) data. To achieve so, LSGI scrutinizes each sliding window employing non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) combined with linear regression. With LSGI, we demonstrated the identification of spatially proximal yet opposite directed pathway gradients in a glioblastoma dataset. We further applied LSGI to 87 tumor ST datasets reported from nine published studies and identified both pan-cancer and tumor-type specific pathways with gradated expression patterns, such as epithelial mesenchymal transition, MHC complex, and hypoxia. The local gradients were further categorized according to their association to tumor-TME (tumor microenvironment) interface, highlighting the pathways related to spatial transcriptional intratumoral heterogeneity. We conclude that LSGI enables highly interpretable STG analysis which can reveal novel insights in tumor biology from the increasingly reported tumor ST datasets.

Analyzing Spatial Transcriptomics Data Using Giotto.

Project description:Spatial transcriptomic technologies have been developed rapidly in recent years. The addition of spatial context to expression data holds the potential to revolutionize many fields in biology. However, the lack of computational tools remains a bottleneck that is preventing the broader utilization of these technologies. Recently, we have developed Giotto as a comprehensive, generally applicable, and user-friendly toolbox for spatial transcriptomic data analysis and visualization. Giotto implements a rich set of algorithms to enable robust spatial data analysis. To help users get familiar with the Giotto environment and apply it effectively in analyzing new datasets, we will describe the detailed protocols for applying Giotto without any advanced programming skills. © 2022 Wiley Periodicals LLC. Basic Protocol 1: Getting Giotto set up for use Basic Protocol 2: Pre-processing Basic Protocol 3: Clustering and cell-type identification Basic Protocol 4: Cell-type enrichment and deconvolution analyses Basic Protocol 5: Spatial structure analysis tools Basic Protocol 6: Spatial domain detection by using a hidden Markov random field model Support Protocol 1: Spatial proximity-associated cell-cell interactions Support Protocol 2: Assembly of a registered 3D Giotto object from 2D slices.

Randomized Spatial PCA (RASP): a computationally efficient method for dimensionality reduction of high-resolution spatial transcriptomics data.

Project description:Spatial transcriptomics (ST) provides critical insights into the complex spatial organization of gene expression in tissues, enabling researchers to unravel the intricate relationship between cellular environments and biological function. Identifying spatial domains within tissues is essential for understanding tissue architecture and the mechanisms underlying various biological processes, including development and disease progression. Here, we present Randomized Spatial PCA (RASP), a novel spatially aware dimensionality reduction method for spatial transcriptomics (ST) data. RASP is designed to be orders-of-magnitude faster than existing techniques, scale to ST data with hundreds-of-thousands of locations, support the flexible integration of non-transcriptomic covariates, and enable the reconstruction of de-noised and spatially smoothed expression values for individual genes. To achieve these goals, RASP uses a randomized two-stage principal component analysis (PCA) framework that leverages sparse matrix operations and configurable spatial smoothing. We compared the performance of RASP against five alternative methods (BASS, GraphST, SEDR, spatialPCA, and STAGATE) on four publicly available ST datasets generated using diverse techniques and resolutions (10x Visium, Stereo-Seq, MERFISH, and 10x Xenium) on human and mouse tissues. Our results demonstrate that RASP achieves tissue domain detection performance comparable or superior to existing methods with a several orders-of-magnitude improvement in computational speed. The efficiency of RASP enhances the analysis of complex ST data by facilitating the exploration of increasingly high-resolution subcellular ST datasets that are being generated.

Protocol to obtain high-quality single-cell RNA-sequencing data from mouse liver cells using centrifugation.

Project description:High-quality single-cell RNA-sequencing data of liver cells, especially hepatocytes, are challenging due to cell death associated with hepatocyte isolation using fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS). Here, we present a protocol to obtain viable hepatocytes and nonparenchymal liver cells for scRNA-seq, using centrifugation. We detail steps for liver wash and enzyme perfusion, followed by in vitro dissociation of liver cells and gradient centrifugation. We further describe hepatocytes harvesting for subsequent viability check and scRNA-seq. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Wang et al. (2021) and Mederacke et al. (2015).

Alignment and integration of spatial transcriptomics data.

Project description:Spatial transcriptomics (ST) measures mRNA expression across thousands of spots from a tissue slice while recording the two-dimensional (2D) coordinates of each spot. We introduce probabilistic alignment of ST experiments (PASTE), a method to align and integrate ST data from multiple adjacent tissue slices. PASTE computes pairwise alignments of slices using an optimal transport formulation that models both transcriptional similarity and physical distances between spots. PASTE further combines pairwise alignments to construct a stacked 3D alignment of a tissue. Alternatively, PASTE can integrate multiple ST slices into a single consensus slice. We show that PASTE accurately aligns spots across adjacent slices in both simulated and real ST data, demonstrating the advantages of using both transcriptional similarity and spatial information. We further show that the PASTE integrated slice improves the identification of cell types and differentially expressed genes compared with existing approaches that either analyze single ST slices or ignore spatial information.
