Spatial heterogeneity in medulloblastoma

ABSTRACT: Spatial heterogeneity of transcriptional and genetic markers between physically isolated biopsies of a single tumor poses major barriers to the identification of biomarkers and the development of targeted therapies that will be effective against the entire tumor. We analyzed the spatial heterogeneity of multiregional biopsies from 35 patients, using a combination of transcriptomic and genomic profiles. Medulloblastomas (MBs), but not high-grade gliomas (HGGs), demonstrated spatially homogeneous transcriptomes, which allowed for accurate subgrouping of tumors from a single biopsy. Conversely, somatic mutations that affect genes suitable for targeted therapeutics demonstrated high levels of spatial heterogeneity in MB, malignant glioma, and renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Actionable targets found in a single MB biopsy were seldom clonal across the entire tumor,which brings the efficacy of monotherapies against a single target into question. Clinical trials of targeted therapies for MB should first ensure the spatially ubiquitous nature of the target mutation.

Spatial transcriptomic analysis of Sonic Hedgehog Medulloblastoma identified that loss of heterogeneity and promotion of differentiation underlies the response to CDK4/6 inhibition

Project description:We used spatially resolved transcriptomics to define the cellular diversity within a sonic hedgehog (SHH) patient-derived model of Medulloblastoma (MB) and identify how cells specific to a transcriptional state or spatial location are pivotal in responses to treatment with the CDK4/6 inhibitor, Palbociclib. Our analysis reveals that SHH tumour in the mouse brain contains multiple malignant transcriptional states, recapitulating the extent of intratumoural cellular diversity identified in primary human SHH MB. Our study offers new insight into the previously described features of CDK4/6 inhibition in MB, with Palbociclib treatment inducing neuronal differentiation across all remaining cell types comprising the bulk of the SHH patient-derived orthotropic xenograft model. This study is, to the best of our knowledge, the first spatially resolved gene expression atlas of SHH PDOX MB and acts as proof-of-principle for the use of ST-seq in identifying spatially-organised tumour heterogeneity of MB.

Spatially Annotated Single Cell Sequencing for Unraveling Intratumor Heterogeneity

Project description:Intratumor heterogeneity is a major obstacle to effective cancer treatment. Current methods to study intratumor heterogeneity using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) lack information on the spatial organization of cells. While state-of-the art spatial transcriptomics methods capture the spatial distribution, they either lack single cell resolution or have relatively low transcript counts. Here, we introduce spatially annotated single cell sequencing, based on the previously developed functional single cell sequencing (FUNseq) technique, to spatially profile tumor cells with deep scRNA-seq and single cell resolution. Using our approach, we profiled cells located at different distances from the center of a 2D epithelial cell mass. By profiling the cell patch in concentric bands of varying width, we showed that cells at the outermost edge of the patch responded strongest to their local microenvironment, behaved most invasively, and activated the process of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) to migrate to lowconfluence areas. We inferred cell-cell communication networks and demonstrated that cells in the outermost ~10 cell wide band, which we termed the invasive edge, induced similar phenotypic plasticity in neighboring regions. Applying FUNseq to spatially annotate and profile tumor cells enables deep characterization of tumor subpopulations, thereby unraveling the mechanistic basis for intratumor heterogeneity.

Spatial reconstruction of single-cell gene expression

Project description:Spatial localization is a key determinant of cellular fate and behavior, but spatial RNA assays traditionally rely on staining for a limited number of RNA species. In contrast, single-cell RNA-seq allows for deep profiling of cellular gene expression, but established methods separate cells from their native spatial context. Here we present Seurat, a computational strategy to infer cellular localization by integrating single-cell RNA-seq data with in situ RNA patterns. We applied Seurat to spatially map 851 single cells from dissociated zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryos, inferring a transcriptome-wide map of spatial patterning. We confirmed Seurat’s accuracy using several experimental approaches, and used it to identify a set of archetypal expression patterns and spatial markers. Additionally, Seurat correctly localizes rare subpopulations, accurately mapping both spatially restricted and scattered groups. Seurat will be applicable to mapping cellular localization within complex patterned tissues in diverse systems. We generated single-cell RNA-seq profiles from dissociated cells from developing zebrafish embryos (late blastula stage - 50% epiboly)

Fragment-sequencing unveils local tissue microenvironments at single cell resolution

Project description:The spatial organization of cells within tissues is tightly linked to their biological function. Yet, methods to probe the entire transcriptome of multiple native tissue microenvironments at single cell resolution are lacking. Here, we introduce fragment-sequencing, a method that enables the transcriptomic characterization of single cells within spatially distinct tissue niches. Fragment-sequencing of the mouse metastatic liver revealed previously uncharacterized zonated genes and ligand-receptor interactions enriched in the different hepatic microenvironments and the metastatic niche.

Spatial Proteomics of a human brain tumour

Project description:The spatial organisation of Cellular protein expression profiles within tissues determines cellular function and are key to understanding disease pathology. To define molecular phenotypes in the spatial context of tissue, there is a need for unbiased, quantitative technology capable of mapping proteomes within tissue structures. Here, we present a workflow for spatially resolved, quantitative proteomics of tissue that generates maps of protein expression across a tissue slice derived from a human atypical teratoid-rhabdoid tumour (AT/RT). We employ spatially-aware statistical methods that do not require prior knowledge of the fine tissue structure to detect proteins and pathways with varying spatial abundance patterns. We identified PYGL, ASPH and CD45 as spatial markers for tumour boundary and reveal immune response driven, spatially organized protein networks of the extracellular tumour matrix. Overall, this work informs on methods for spatially resolved deep proteo-phenotyping of tissue heterogeneity, which will push the boundaries of understanding tissue biology and pathology at the molecular level.

Deciphering functional tumor-immune crosstalk through highly multiplexed imaging and deep visual proteomics

Project description:Deciphering the intricate tumor-immune interactions within the microenvironment is crucial for advancing cancer immunotherapy. Here, we introduced mipDVP, an advanced approach integrating highly multiplexed imaging, single-cell laser microdissection, and sensitive mass spectrometry to spatially profile the proteomes of distinct cell populations in a human colorectal and tonsil cancer with high sensitivity. In a colorectal tumor—a representative cold tumor—we uncovered spatial compartmentalization of an immunosuppressive macrophage barrier that potentially impedes T cell infiltration. Spatial proteomic analysis revealed distinct functional states of T cells in different tumor compartments. In a tonsil cancer sample—a hot tumor—we identified significant proteomic heterogeneity among cells influenced by proximity to cytotoxic T cell subtypes. T cells in the tumor parenchyma exhibited metabolic adaptations to hypoxic regions. Our spatially resolved, highly multiplexed strategy deciphers the complex cellular interplay within the tumor microenvironment, offering valuable insights for identifying immunotherapy targets and predictive signatures.

Robust collection and processing for label-free single voxel proteomics

Project description:With advanced mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics, genome-scale proteome coverage can be achieved from bulk tissues. However, such bulk measurement lacks spatial resolution and obscures important tissue heterogeneity, which make it impossible for proteome mapping of tissue microenvironment. Here we report an integrated wet collection of single tissue voxel and Surfactant-assisted One-Pot voxel processing method termed wcSOP for robust label-free single voxel proteomics. wcSOP capitalizes on buffer droplet-assisted wet collection of single tissue voxel dissected by LCM into the PCR tube cap and MS-compatible surfactant-assisted one-pot voxel processing in the collection cap. This convenient method allows reproducible label-free quantification of ~900 and ~4,600 proteins for single voxel from fresh frozen human spleen tissue at 20 µm × 20 µm × 10 µm (close to single cells) and 200 µm × 200 µm × 10 µm (~100 cells), respectively. 100s-1000s of protein signatures were identified to be spatially resolved between spleen red and white pulp regions depending on the voxel size. Region-specific signaling pathways were enriched from single voxel proteomics data. To evaluate its broad applicability, we applied wcSOP-MS to two commonly accessible, OCT-embedded and FFPE, human archived tissues. It enabled to identify spatially resolved proteome changes and enriched pathways between diseased (breast cancer tumor or AD amyloid plaque) and adjacent normal regions. Antibody-based CODEX and IHC imaging validated label-free MS quantitation for single voxel analysis. The wcSOP-MS method paves the way for routine robust single voxel proteomics and spatial proteomics.
