Spatial Deconvolution of HER2-positive Breast Tumors

ABSTRACT: In the past decades, transcriptomic studies have revolutionized cancer treatment and diagnosis. However, tumor sequencing strategies typically result in loss of spatial information, critical to understand cell interactions and their functional relevance. To address this, we investigate spatial gene expression in HER2-positive breast tumors using Spatial Transcriptomics technology. We show that expression-based clustering enables data-driven tumor annotation and assessment of intra- and interpatient heterogeneity; from which we discover shared gene signatures for immune and tumor processes. By integration with single cell data, we spatially map tumor-associated cell types to find tertiary lymphoid-like structures, and a type I interferon response overlapping with regions of T-cell and macrophage subset colocalization. We construct a predictive model to infer presence of tertiary lymphoid-like structures, applicable across tissue types and technical platforms. Taken together, we combine different data modalities to define a high resolution map of cellular interactions in tumors and provide tools generalizing across tissues and diseases.

Molecular and spatial analysis unveils the functional basis of tertiary lymphoid structures in Sjogren’s syndrome[scRNA-seq]

Project description:The key role of tertiary lymphoid structures in autoimmune and non-autoimmune conditions has been recently appreciated. While many of the molecular mechanisms involved in tertiary lymphoid structure formation have been identified, their cellular sources and temporal and spatial relationship remain unknown. Using single-cell RNA-sequencing, spatial transcriptomics and proteomics of minor salivary glands of patients with Sjogren’s disease and Sicca Syndrome, ex-vivo and in vivo functional studies, we construct a cellular and spatial map of key components involved in the formation and function of tertiary lymphoid structures. We confirm the presence of a fibroblast cell state and identify an undescribed pericyte/mural cell state with potential immunological functions. The identification of novel cellular properties associated with these structures and the molecular and functional interactions identified by this analysis provide key therapeutic cues for tertiary lymphoid structures associated conditions in autoimmunity and cancer.

Single-Cell and Spatial Transcriptome Analyses Reveal Tertiary Lymphoid Structures Linked to Tumour Progression and Immunotherapy Response in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma

Project description:Tertiary lymphoid structures are immune cell aggregates linked with cancer outcomes, but their interactions with tumour cell aggregates are unclear. Using nasopharyngeal carcinoma as a model, we analyse single-cell transcriptomes of 343,829 cells from 77 biopsy and blood samples and spatially-resolved transcriptomes of 31,316 spots from 15 tumours to decipher their components and interactions with tumour cell aggregates. We identify essential cell populations in tertiary lymphoid structure, including CXCL13+ cancer-associated fibroblasts, stem-like CXCL13+CD8+ T cells, and B and T follicular helper cells. Our study shows that germinal centre reaction matures plasma cells. These plasma cells intersperse with tumour cell aggregates, promoting apoptosis of EBV-related malignant cells and enhancing immunotherapy response. CXCL13+ cancer-associated fibroblasts promote B cell adhesion and antibody production, activating CXCL13+CD8+ T cells that become exhausted in tumour cell aggregates. Tertiary lymphoid structure-related cell signatures correlate with prognosis and PD-1 blockade response, offering insights for therapeutic strategies in cancers.

RNA tertiary structure and conformational dynamics revealed by BASH MaP

Project description:The functional effects of an RNA can arise from complex three-dimensional folds known as tertiary structures. However, predicting the tertiary structure of an RNA and whether an RNA adopts distinct tertiary conformations remains challenging. To address this, we developed BASH MaP, a single-molecule dimethyl sulfate (DMS) footprinting method and DAGGER, a computational pipeline, to identify alternative tertiary structures adopted by different molecules of RNA. BASH MaP utilizes potassium borohydride to reveal the chemical accessibility of the N7 position of guanosine, a key mediator of tertiary structures. We used BASH MaP to identify diverse conformational states and dynamics of RNA G-quadruplexes, an important RNA tertiary motif, in vitro and in cells. BASH MaP and DAGGER analysis of the fluorogenic aptamer Spinach reveals that it adopts alternative tertiary conformations which determine its fluorescence states. BASH MaP thus provides an approach for structural analysis of RNA by revealing previously undetectable tertiary structures.

Systematic dissection of tumor-normal single-cell ecosystems across a thousand tumors of 30 cancer types

Project description:The complexity of the tumor microenvironment poses significant challenges in cancer therapy. Here, to comprehensively investigate the tumor-normal ecosystems, we perform an integrative analysis of 4.9 million single-cell transcriptomes from 1,070 tumor and 493 normal samples in combination with pan-cancer 137 spatial transcriptomics, 8,887 TCGA, and 1,261 checkpoint inhibitor-treated bulk tumors. We define a myriad of cell states constituting the tumor-normal ecosystems and also identify hallmark gene signatures across different cell types and organs. Our atlas characterizes distinctions between inflammatory fibroblasts marked by AKR1C1 or WNT5A in terms of cellular interactions and spatial co-localization patterns. Co-occurrence analysis reveals interferon-enriched community states including tertiary lymphoid structure (TLS) components, which exhibit differential rewiring between tumor, adjacent normal, and healthy normal tissues. The favorable response of interferon-enriched community states to immunotherapy is validated using immunotherapy-treated cancers (n=1,261) including our lung cancer cohort (n=497). Deconvolution of spatial transcriptomes discriminates TLS-enriched from non-enriched cell types among immunotherapy-favorable components. Our systematic dissection of tumor-normal ecosystems provides a deeper understanding of inter- and intra-tumoral heterogeneity.

Single-Cell and Spatially Resolved Interactomics of Tooth-Associated Keratinocytes in Periodontitis

Project description:Periodontitis affects billions of people worldwide. To address relationships of periodontal niche cell types and microbes in periodontitis, we generated an integrated single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) atlas of human periodontium (34-sample, 105918-cell), including sulcular and junctional keratinocytes (SK/JKs). SK/JKs displayed altered differentiation states and were enriched for effector cytokines in periodontitis. Single-cell, metagenomics revealed 37 bacterial species with cell-specific tropism. Fluorescence in situ hybridization detected intracellular 16S and mRNA signals of multiple species and correlated with SK/JK proinflammatory phenotypes in situ. Cell-cell communication analysis predicted keratinocyte-specific innate and adaptive immune interactions. Highly multiplexed immunofluorescence (33-antibody) revealed peri-epithelial immune foci, with innate cells often spatially constrained around JKs. Spatial phenotyping revealed immunosuppressed JK-microniches and SK-localized tertiary lymphoid structures in periodontitis. Here, we demonstrate impacts on and predicted interactomics of SK and JK cells in health and periodontitis, which requires further investigation to support precision periodontal interventions in states of chronic inflammation.

Transcriptomic profiling of immune and stromal cells from the non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) environment

Project description:T lymphocytes can efficiently counteract the growth of tumors within the tumor microenvironment. Specialized immune-interacting fibroblasts, termed fibroblastic reticular cells (FRC) are responsible for the formation of specialized niches promoting immune cell activation in secondary lymphoid organs and originate from embryonic progenitors. FRCs have also been identified in tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) in tumor tissues. However, the identity and differentiation of TLS-associated FRC subsets that promote intra-tumoral T cell activity have remained unexplored. Here, we employed single cell RNA-sequencing of fibroblasts and immune cells, sampled from subpleural margin, central margin and unaffected lung tissue in non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), demonstrating the formation of specific tumor T cell environments (TTEs) underpinned by CCL19-expressing FRCs. We detected tumor-specific FRC subsets namely CCL19-expressing TRCs and perivascular reticular cells (PRCs) interacting with intratumoral T cells, and thus regulating FRC differentiation and T cell activation. Our results highlight a remarkable functionality of FRCs to efficiently determine protective antitumoral T cell responses in NSCLC.

Single-cell and spatial profiling identify three response trajectories to pembrolizumab and radiation therapy in triple negative breast cancer

Project description:Cancer immunotherapy trials have produced encouraging results, but resistance remains a problem necessitating strategies to identify patients that benefit from immunotherapy alone or who require additional combinations like chemotherapy or radiotherapy. Here we employ single-cell transcriptomics and spatial proteomics to profile triple negative breast cancer biopsies taken before and after one cycle of pembrolizumab and after a second cycle of pembrolizumab given with radiotherapy. Non-responders lack immune infiltrate before and after therapy and exhibit minimal therapy-induced immune changes. Responding tumors form two groups that are distinguishable by a classifier prior to therapy, with one showing high MHC expression, evidence of tertiary lymphoid structures and displaying anti-tumor immunity before treatment. The other responder group resembles non-responders at baseline and mounts a maximal immune response after the combination therapy, which is characterized by cytotoxic T cell and antigen presenting myeloid cell interactions and is mirrored in murine breast tumors only after radiation.

Tertiary Lymphoid Structure Raises Survival and Immunotherapy in HPV- HNSCC

Project description:The presence of B cells in tumors have been recently reported to predict the better prognosis of patients with cancer. B cells were found primarily in so-called tertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs) in tumor. TLSs are ectopic lymphoid aggregates that form at sites of micro-secondary lymphoid organs, including a B cell follicle with a network of follicular dendritic cells (FDCs) surrounded by T cell zone composed of CD4+ T follicular helper (Tfh) cells and CD8+ T cells and high endothelial venules (HEVs). The presence of TLS is associated with positive outcomes in several human malignancie and More importantly, TLSs enriched in B cells have been proven beneficial for response to ICB in multiple types of cancer. Here, we establish tobacco-associated HNSCC mouse model with TLS enrichment by overexpression of LIGHT in tumor to evaluate the TLS influence in HPV- HNSCC and immunotherapy in HPV- HNSCC.
