Optogenetic perturbations of RNA expression in tissue space

ABSTRACT: Quantifying gene expression in space, for example by spatial transcriptomics, is essential for describing the biology of cells and their interactions in complex tissues. Perturbation experiments, at single-cell resolution and conditional on both space and time, are necessary for dissecting the molecular mechanisms of these interactions. To this aim, we combined optogenetics and CRISPR technologies to activate or knock-down RNA of target genes, at single-cell resolution and in programmable spatial patterns. As a proof of principle, we optogenetically induced Sonic Hedgehog (SHH) signaling at a distinct spatial location within human neural organoids. This robustly induced known SHH spatial domains of gene expression – cell-autonomously and across the entire organoid. In principle, our approach can be used to induce or knock down RNAs from any gene of interest in specific spatial locations or patterns of complex biological systems.

Effect of optogenetic-induced muscle loading on the transcriptomics of murine Achilles tendon and calcaneus

Project description:We used optogenetics to induce skeletal muscle contraction and unilaterally load the Achilles tendon and enthesis in young (i.e., during growth) Acta1Cre;Ai32 mice. We then performed gene expression analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of optogenetically loaded tendon and enthesis (bone) at two time points.

Optogenetic neural stem cells microarray

Project description:We elucidate the transcriptome effects of optogenetics on developing neural stem cells population. The application of optogenetics in neural stem cell (NSC), allow photo-modulation of NSC in an activity-dependent manner. This provided spatio-temporal tool for studying activity dependent neurogenesis, including the potential of regulating the differentiation and maturation process of transplanted NSC. Currently, this is mainly driven by virally transfected of Channelrhodopsin-2 (ChR2) gene, which also requires high irradiance and complex in vitro stimulation systems. Additionally, despite the extensive application of optogenetics in neuroscience, the question of what transcriptome changes does optogenetic stimulation induced in developing NSCs have not been elucidated yet. To address these questions, we established a NSC line, expressing high light-sensitivity step-function opsin (SFO) variant of the chimeric channelrhodopsin, ChRFR(C167A) (~40x higher than ChR2), via the non-viral piggyBac transposon system. We set up a simple low-irradiance optogenetics stimulation-incubation system, which sufficiently induced depolarization in differentiating NSCs. We significantly enhance neurogenesis with low power optogenetic stimulation by 3 folds. Through microarray analysis, we have identified the genes and signaling pathways in axonal remodeling, synaptic plasticity and microenvironment modulation from optogenetic stimulation. Our results elucidate the transcriptome effects of optogenetics and the ability to drive neurogenesis with low irradiance optogenetics.

Sci-Space E14 Mouse Embryo Data

Project description:Spatial patterns of gene expression span many scales, and are shaped by both local (e.g. cell-cell interactions) and global (e.g. tissue, organ) context. However, most in situ methods for profiling gene expression either average local contexts or are restricted to limited fields of view. Here we introduce sci-Space, a scale-flexible method that retains single cell resolution while resolving spatial heterogeneity in gene expression at larger scales. As a proof-of-concept, we apply sci-Space to the developing mouse embryo (E14), capturing the approximate spatial coordinates of profiled cells from whole embryo serial sections.

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.

Optogenetic manipulation of BMP signalling to drive chondrogenic differentiation of hPSCs

Project description:Optogenetics is a rapidly advancing technology that combines photochemical, optical and synthetic biology techniques to control cellular behaviour and physiology. Combining sensitive light responsive optogenetic intervention tools with human pluripotent stem cell differentiation models has the potential to refine differentiation and unpick the processes by which morphogenetic signals direct tissue patterning, organisation and cell specification. Here, we utilised an optogenetic bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signalling system (optoBMP) to drive chondrogenic differentiation of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs). We initially engineered light-sensitive hESCs through CRISPR/Cas9-mediated integration of the optoBMP system into the AAVS1 locus. Activation of optoBMP with blue light in lieu of BMP family growth factors during differentiation resulted in activation of BMP signalling pathway mechanisms and upregulation of a chondrogenic phenotype, with significant transcriptional differences compared to cells left in the dark. Furthermore, cells differentiated with light were capable of forming chondrogenic pellets consisting of a hyaline-like cartilaginous matrix.

A method for spatially and temporally resolved protein network interrogation in living cells

Project description:Cells operate through protein interaction networks organized in space and in time, but current methods to interrogate such biology typically resolve only one of these dimensions. Here, we describe a method to resolve both dimensions simultaneously using proximity labeling mediated by engineered ascorbic acid peroxidase (APEX). APEX has been used to label organelle proteomes with high temporal resolution, but its spatial resolution is generally thought to be limited because of its larger labeling radius. We describe an analytical pipeline, based on quantitative proteomics using spatial references, which overcomes this barrier. As proof-of-principle, we apply the methodology to interrogate protein interaction networks of G protein coupled receptors both temporally and spatially. Using this approach, we identify known binding partners as well as novel receptor regulators. Validating the methodology as a discovery tool, we demonstrate that two of these components drive ubiquitin-linked down-regulation of opioid receptors.

Uncovering the spatial landscape of molecular interactions within the tumor microenvironment through latent spaces

Project description:Recent advances in spatial transcriptomics (ST) enable gene expression measurements from a tissue sample while retaining its spatial context. This technology enables unprecedented in situ resolution of the regulatory pathways that underlie the heterogeneity in the tumor and its microenvironment (TME). The direct characterization of cellular co-localization with spatial technologies facilities quantification of the molecular changes resulting from direct cell-cell interaction, as occurs in tumor-immune interactions. We present SpaceMarkers, a novel bioinformatics algorithm to infer molecular changes from cell-cell interaction from latent space analysis of ST data. We apply this approach to infer molecular changes from tumor-immune interactions in Visium spatial transcriptomics data of metastasis, invasive and precursor lesions, and immunotherapy treatment. Further transfer learning in matched scRNA-seq data enabled further quantification of the specific cell types in which SpaceMarkers are enriched. Altogether, SpaceMarkers can identify the location and context-specific molecular interactions within the TME from ST data.

Shh and ZRS enhancer co-localization is specific to the zone of polarizing activity

Project description:Limb-specific expression of Shh is regulated by the long-range (~one megabasepair distant) ZRS enhancer. In the mouse, murine limb bud restricted spatiotemporal expression of Shh occurs from ~E10 until E11.5 at the distal posterior margin is essential for the correct formation of the autopod. Here, we have analyzed the higher-order chromatin conformation of Shh in expressing and non-expressing tissues, both by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and by chromosome conformation capture (5C). Conventional and super-resolution light microscopy identified significantly elevated frequences of Shh/ZRS co-localization only in the Shh expressing regions of the limb bud consistent with the formation of an enhancer-promoter loop. However, Shh-ZRS spatial distances were consistently shorter than intervening distances to a neural enhancer in all tissues and developmental stages analyzed – regardless of Shh expression. 5C also identified a topologically associating domain (TAD) over the Shh-ZRS genomic region and enriched interactions between Shh and ZRS, but in the head, body and limb buds of E11.5 embryos, so also not linked to Shh expression. We show that gene-enhancer (Shh/ZRS) co-localization correlates with the spatiotemporal domain of limb bud-specific Shh expression, but that close Shh/ZRS proximity in the nucleus occurs regardless of whether the gene or enhancer is active. We suggest that this constrained chromatin configuration optimises the opportunity for the active enhancer to locate and instigate Shh expression.
