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:Striated muscle is a highly organized structure composed by well-defined anatomical domains with integrated but distinct assignments. Indeed, the lack of a direct correlation between tissue architecture and gene expression has thus far limited our understanding of how each unit responds to physio-pathologic contexts. Here, we show how the combined use of spatially resolved transcriptomics and immunofluorescence can bridge this gap by enabling the unbiased identification of such domains and the characterization of their response to external perturbations. Using a spatiotemporal analysis, we followed the changes in the transcriptomics profile of specific domains in muscle in a model of denervation. Furthermore, our approach allowed us to identify the spatial distribution and nerve dependence of atrophic signalling pathway and polyamine metabolism to glycolytic fibres. Indeed, we demonstrate a pronounced alteration of polyamine homeostasis upon denervation.

Project description:Cancer cells interact with a wide variety of other cell types, but our understanding of microenvironmental heterogeneity and how it influences tumor phenotypes is limited. While single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) has helped define these TME cell types, it provides limited information on the mechanisms that define how individual tumor cells interact with TME. Here, we integrate spatial transcriptomics with scRNA-seq to define the architecture and nature of nascent tumor and surrounding microenvironment cells as they come into contact through the process of invasion. Using a well-defined transgenic zebrafish model of BRAFV600E-driven melanoma, we identify a transcriptionally unique “interface” cluster localized at the boundary between tumor cells and surrounding tissues. Using an unbiased, data-driven approach, we identify spatially-patterned gene modules specific to the interface and show that the interface is a distinct transcriptional entity that histologically resembles the microenvironment but transcriptionally resembles the tumor. By complementing ST with scRNA-seq, we demonstrate that the interface is composed of specialized tumor and microenvironment cells. Both cell types in the interface upregulate a common set of cilia genes, and we find enrichment of cilia proteins only where the tumor meets the TME. Cilia gene expression is regulated by ETS-family transcription factors, which normally act to suppress their expression outside of this region. This unique ETS-driven interface transcriptional state is conserved across ten different human patient samples, suggesting this is a conserved feature of human melanoma. Taken together, our results demonstrate the power of spatial and single-cell transcriptomics techniques in uncovering novel biological mechanisms that drive tumor invasion into new tissues.

Project description:We have developed an imaging-free framework to localize nucleic acids within a tissue by combining a compressed sensing tissue-sampling strategy based on multi-angle-sectioning and an associated image reconstruction algorithm. Initially, the tissue is cut into consecutive thin slices. Subsequently these are further sliced along an orthogonal plane at predefined orientations resulting in tissue strips that are subject to RNA sequencing. We implemented this framework to transform a single-cell RNA sequencing protocol into an imaging-free spatial transcriptomics technique. The method was validated by profiling the transcriptome of the Murine brain, and used to spatially profile the brain transcriptome of the Australian Central bearded dragon, Pogona vitticeps.

Project description:Here we demonstrate brain epigenomic tomography that is constructed via epigenomic profiling of mouse neocortex slices with sub-millimeter thickness using a low-input ChIP-seq technology. We profiled the variation in histone modification signal (H3K27me3 and H3K27ac) across these slices and grouped the spatial epigenomic features into clusters of various spatial variation patterns.

Project description:Recent advances in spatially resolved transcriptomics (SRT) have brought ever-increasing opportunities to characterize expression landscape in the context of tissue spatiality. Nevertheless, there still exist multiple challenges to accurately detect spatial functional regions in tissue. Here, we present a novel contrastive learning framework, SPAtially Contrastive variational AutoEncoder (SpaCAE), which contrasts transcriptomic signals of each spot and its spatial neighbors to achieve fine-grained tissue structures detection. By employing a graph embedding variational autoencoder and incorporating a deep contrastive strategy, SpaCAE achieves a balance between spatial local information and global information of expression, enabling effective learning of representations with spatial constraints. Particularly, SpaCAE provides a graph deconvolutional decoder to address the smoothing effect of local spatial structure on expression's self-supervised learning, an aspect often overlooked by current graph neural networks. We demonstrated that SpaCAE could achieve effective performance on SRT data generated from multiple technologies for spatial domains identification and data denoising, making it a remarkable tool to obtain novel insights from SRT studies.

Project description:The operation of resistive and phase-change memory (RRAM and PCM) is controlled by highly localized self-heating effects, yet detailed studies of their temperature are rare due to challenges of nanoscale thermometry. Here we show that the combination of Raman thermometry and scanning thermal microscopy (SThM) can enable such measurements with high spatial resolution. We report temperature-dependent Raman spectra of HfO2, TiO2 and Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST) films, and demonstrate direct measurements of temperature profiles in lateral PCM devices. Our measurements reveal that electrical and thermal interfaces dominate the operation of such devices, uncovering a thermal boundary resistance of 28 ± 8 m2K/GW at GST-SiO2 interfaces and an effective thermopower 350 ± 50 µV/K at GST-Pt interfaces. We also discuss possible pathways to apply Raman thermometry and SThM techniques to nanoscale and vertical resistive memory devices.

Project description:Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) microscopy is an emerging technique with a wide range of imaging applications and unique properties in terms of high spatial resolution, surface confinement and favourable signal-to-noise ratio. Despite its successful analytical applications, tuning the depth of field (i.e., thickness of the ECL-emitting layer) is a crucial issue. Indeed, the control of the thickness of this ECL region, which can be considered as an "evanescent" reaction layer, limits the development of cell microscopy as well as bioassays. Here we report an original strategy based on chemical lens effects to tune the ECL-emitting layer in the model [Ru(bpy)3]2+/tri-n-propylamine (TPrA) system. It consists of microbeads decorated with [Ru(bpy)3]2+ labels, classically used in bioassays, and TPrA as the sacrificial coreactant. In particular we exploit the buffer capacity of the solution to modify the rate of the reactions involved in the ECL generation. For the first time, a precise control of the ECL light distribution is demonstrated by mapping the luminescence reactivity at the level of single micrometric bead. The resulting ECL image is the luminescent signature of the concentration profiles of diffusing TPrA radicals, which define the ECL layer. Therefore, our findings provide insights into the ECL mechanism and open new avenues for ECL microscopy and bioassays. Indeed, the reported approach based on a chemical lens controls the spatial extension of the "evanescent" ECL-emitting layer and is conceptually similar to evanescent wave microscopy. Thus, it should allow the exploration and imaging of different heights in substrates or in cells.
