Spatially Annotated Single Cell Sequencing for Unraveling Intratumor Heterogeneity

ABSTRACT: 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.

Glioma-initiating cells at tumor edge gain signals from tumor core cells to promote their malignancy

Project description:Intratumor spatial heterogeneity facilitates therapeutic resistance in glioblastoma (GBM). Nonetheless, understanding of GBM is limited to the resectable tumor core lesion while the seeds for recurrence reside in the unresectable tumor edge. In this study, stratification of GBM to core and edge demonstrated clinically relevant surgical sequelae. We establish regionally derived models of GBM edge and core that retain their spatial identity in a cell autonomous manner. Edge cells show a higher capacity for infiltrative growth, while core cells demonstrate greater therapy resistance. Investigation of intercellular signaling between these two cell populations uncovered the paracrine crosstalk from tumor core that provokes malignancy and therapy resistance of edge cells. These phenotypic alterations were initiated by HDAC1 in GBM core cells which subsequently affect edge cells by secreting the soluble form of CD109 protein. Our data reveal the role of intracellular communication between regionally different populations of GBM cells in tumor recurrence.

Characterization of spatial heterogeneity in metastasized colorectal cancer by MALDI imaging

Project description:About 50% of colorectal cancer patients develop liver metastases. Patients with metastatic colorectal cancer have 5-year survival rates below 20% despite new therapeutic regimens. Tumor heterogeneity has been linked with poor clinical outcome, but was so far mainly studied via bulk genomic analyses. In this study we performed spatial proteomics via MALDI mass spectrometry imaging on six patient matched CRC primary tumor and liver metastases to characterize interpatient, intertumor and intratumor hetereogeneity. We found several peptide features that were enriched in vital tumor areas of primary tumors and liver metastasis and tentatively derived from tumor cell specific proteins such as annexin A4 and prelamin A/C. Liver metastases of colorectal cancer showed higher heterogeneity between patients than primary tumors while within patients both entities show similar intratumor heterogeneity sometimes organized in zonal pattern. Together our findings give new insights into the spatial proteomic heterogeneity of primary CRC and patient matched liver metastases.

Multiplatform molecular profiling reveals epigenomic intratumor heterogeneity in ependymoma, DNA Methylation

Project description:Ependymomas exist within distinct genetic subgroups, but the molecular diversity within individual ependymomas is unknown. We performed multiplatform molecular profiling of 6 spatially-distinct samples from an ependymoma with C11orf95-RELA fusion. DNA methylation and RNA sequencing distinguished clusters of samples according to neuronal development gene expression programs that could also be delineated by differences in magnetic resonance blood perfusion. Exome sequencing and phylogenetic analysis revealed epigenomic intratumor heterogeneity, and suggested that chromosomal structural alterations may precede accumulation of single nucleotide variants during ependymoma tumorigenesis. In sum, these findings shed new light on the oncogenesis and intratumor heterogeneity of ependymoma.

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)

Population context drives cell-to-cell variability in interferon response in epithelial cells

Project description:Isogenic cells respond in a heterogeneous manner to interferon. Using a micropatterning approach combined with high-content imaging and spatial analyses, we characterized how the population context (position of a cell with respect to neighboring cells) of epithelial cells affects single cell response to interferons. We identified that cells at the edge of cellular colonies are more responsive than cells embedded within colonies. We determined that this spatial heterogeneity in interferon response resulted from the polarized basolateral interferon receptor distribution, making cells located in the center of cellular colonies less responsive to ectopic interferon stimulation. This was conserved across cell lines and primary cells originated from epithelial tissues. Finally, we demonstrated that this population context-driven cell-to-cell variability influences the outcome of viral infection, as cells embedded within cellular colonies are not protected by interferons and therefore more susceptible to infection. Our data highlights that the behavior of isolated cells does not directly translate to their behavior in a population, placing the population context as one important factor influencing cell-to-cell heterogeneity during interferon response in epithelial cells.

A Spatiomolecular Map of the Striatum

Project description:The striatum is organized into two major outputs formed by striatal projection neuron (SPN) subtypes with distinct molecular identities. In addition, the histochemical division into patch and matrix compartments represents an additional spatial organization, proposed to mirror a functional specialization in a motor-motivation dimension. To map the molecular diversity of SPNs in the context of the patch and matrix division, we genetically labeled mu-opioid receptor (Oprm1) expressing striatal neurons and performed single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq). This allowed us to establish new molecular definitions of the patch-matrix compartments, resulting in a molecular code for mapping patch SPNs at the cellular level. In addition, Oprm1 expression labeled exopatch SPNs, which we found to be molecularly distinct from both patch as well as neighboring matrix SPNs, thereby forming a separate molecular entity. At the cell-type level, we found an unexpected SPN diversity, leading to the identification of a new Col11a1+ striatonigral SPN type. At the tissue level, we found that mapping the spatial expression of a number of markers revealed new definitions of spatial domains in the striatum, which were conserved in the non-human primate brain. Interestingly, the spatial markers were cell-type independent and instead represented a spatial code that was found across all SPNs within a spatially restricted domain. This spatiomolecular map establishes a formal system for targeting and studying the striatal subregions and SPNs subtypes, beyond the classical striatonigral and striatopallidal division.

Trackable Intratumor Microdosing and Spatial Profiling Provide Early Insights into Activity of Investigational Agents in the Intact Tumor Microenvironment

Project description:Purpose: Cancer drug development is currently limited by a paradigm of preclinical evaluation that does not adequately recapitulate the complexity of the intact human tumor microenvironment (TME). To overcome this, we combined trackable intratumor microdosing (CIVOTM) with spatial biology readouts to directly assess drug effects in patient tumors in situ. Patients and Methods: In a first-of-its-kind Phase 0 clinical trial, we explored the effects of an investigational stage SUMOylation Activating Enzyme (SAE) inhibitor, subasumstat (TAK-981) in 12 patients with head and neck carcinoma (HNC). Patients scheduled for tumor resection received percutaneous intratumor injections of subasumstat and vehicle control 1 to 4 days prior to surgery, resulting in spatially localized and graded regions of drug exposure (~1000-2000 microns in diameter). Drug-exposed (n=214) and unexposed regions (n=140) were compared 2 by GeoMx Digital Spatial Profiler, with evaluation at single cell resolution in a subset of these by CosMx Spatial Molecular Imager. Results: Localized regions of subasumstat exposure revealed SUMO pathway inhibition, elevation of Type I interferon (IFN-I) response, and inhibition of cell cycle across all tumor samples. Single cell analysis by CosMx demonstrated cell cycle inhibition specific to the tumor epithelium, and IFN pathway induction commensurate with a TME shift from immune- suppressive to immune-permissive. Conclusions: Pairing CIVO with spatial profiling enabled detailed investigation of response to subasumstat across a diverse sampling of native and intact TMEs. We demonstrate that drug mechanism of action can be directly evaluated in a spatially precise manner in the most translationally relevant setting: an in situ human tumor.
