Project description:Spatial Transcriptomics (Visium) of 12 coronal brain sections from 6 months old female Inpp5dfl/fl/Cx3cr1CreER/+ crossed to APPKM670/671NL/PSEN1Δexon9 (PSAPP) mice and treated with either cornoil or tamoxifen (75 mg/kg) at 3 months of age for 5 consecutive days

Project description:Aging is a key driver of cognitive decline and the predominant risk factor for several neurodegenerative diseases. Recent behavioral studies as well as structural and functional MRI data suggest that aging does not impact the brain in a uniform manner but follows region- and age-specific trajectories. Yet so far, quantitative analyses of the molecular dynamics in the aging brain have been limited to few regions at low temporal resolution. Here we performed single-nuclei sequencing (Nuc-seq) of hippocampus and caudate putamen isolated from young (3 months) and old (21 months) old mice.

Recent behavioral studies as well as structural and functional MRI data suggest that aging does not impact the brain in a uniform manner but follows region- and age-specific trajectories. Yet so far, quantitative analyses of the molecular dynamics in the aging brain have been limited to few regions at low temporal resolution. Here we performed spatiotemporal RNA-seq of the brain across the adult mouse lifespan, encompassing 847 samples dissected from 15 regions spanning 7 age groups. We reveal that aging impacts gene expression in a region-dependent manner, varying in timing, magnitude and biological function.

Project description:We developed cell2location, a principled and versatile Bayesian model that is designed to resolve fine-grained cell types in spatial transcriptomic data and create comprehensive cellular maps of diverse tissues. To validate cell2location in real tissue, we applied the model to data from the mouse brain, which features diverse neural cell types organised in a well characterised spatial architecture across brain areas, thus presenting a canonical use case to test spatial genomics. We generated matched single nucleus (sn, this submission) and Visium spatial RNA-seq (10X Genomics) profiles of adjacent mouse brain sections that contain multiple regions from the telencephalon and diencephalon. To assess the biological and intra-organ technical variation in spatial mapping, we assayed two mouse brains and serial tissue sections from each brain (total of 3 and 2 matched sections from two animals, respectively, and an extra section for snRNA-seq), creating a rich multi-modal and replicated transcriptomic dataset. Tissue processing. Brains of wild-type adult C57BL/6 mice (postnatal day 56, 1 female and 1 male) were dissected, snap frozen, embedded in optimal cutting temperature compound (Tissue-Tek) and stored at -80oC. Brain hemispheres were cryosectioned at -20oC using a cryostat (Leica, CM3050S). To assess tissue quality, RNA was extracted from test tissue sections using the RNeasy Pico Kit (Qiagen) and yielded high RIN values (9.6 and 9.7) on an Agilent Bioanalyser, indicating high RNA quality. For matched single nuclei and Visium RNA-seq experiments, brain hemispheres were cryosectioned to adjacent thick (200 µm) and thin (10 µm) coronal sections, respectively, and processed the same day. In total, four consecutive sets of thick and thin tissue sections were collected from each brain. Five sets of tissue sections yielded both good quality single nuclei and Visium data (three adjacent sections from mouse 1 and two sections from mouse 2) while one additional section from mouse 2 yielded good single nuclei; these were considered for analysis in this study. Visium spatial transcriptomics. Thin (10 µm) mouse brain sections were cryosectioned and mounted directly onto separate capture areas on 10X Visium Spatial Gene Expression slides (beta product version). Processing was done per manufacturer’s protocols. Briefly, sections were methanol-fixed, hematoxylin and eosin (H&E)-stained, and imaged on a NanoZoomer 2.0 slide scanner (Hamamatsu). Sections were then permeabilized and further processed to obtain cDNA libraries that were quality controlled using the Agilent Bioanalyser. The cDNA libraries were sequenced on the Illumina HiSeq 4000 system, aiming at 300 million raw reads per section with read lengths 28cy R1, 8cy i7 index, 0cy i5 index, 91cy read 2. 10X Visium spatial sequencing data was aligned to mouse pre-mRNA genome reference version mm10 using 10X SpaceRanger and mRNA count matrices were generated by adding intronic and exonic reads for each gene in each location. The paired histology H&E images were processed using 10X SpaceRanger to select locations covered by tissue by aligning pre-recorded spot locations with fiducial border spots in the histology image. This allows evaluating the correspondence between cell maps produced using our method and the known brain anatomy. This also allows identifying the number of nuclei in each spot using nuclear segmentation as described in Suppl. Methods and reported in Fig S8A-D. The histology image was used to manually annotate cortical layers in the primary somatosensory cortex (SSp) region using the lasso tool in the 10X Loupe browser.

Single nucleus RNA-sequencing. Thick (200 µm) mouse brain sections were cryosectioned, dissected from OCT and kept in a tube on dry ice until subsequent processing. Nuclei were extracted from each section as described previously. Briefly, nuclei were released from sections via Dounce homogenisation, Hoechst-stained, and isolated via fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS). Nuclei were then loaded into the 10X Chromium Single Cell 3′ Kit (v3) to obtain 3,000-7,000 nuclei per well, and library preparation was done per manufacturer’s protocol. Libraries were sequenced on an Illumina NovaSeq S4 system. Sequencing data were processed using 10X CellRanger version 3.0.2, aligned to mouse pre-mRNA genome reference version mm10 and mRNA count matrices were generated by adding intronic and exonic unique molecular identifier (UMI) counts for each gene in each cell. Initially, snRNA-seq counts were processed using standard Seurat V3 workflow without correcting batch effects between 6 individual samples.

Project description:Here, we have developed a novel methodology called IRIS (Imaging Reconstruction using Indexed Sequencing) that enables cost-effective spatial transcriptomics profiling without relying on optical imaging. Through neighborhood interaction-based reconstruction, IRIS allows extensive analysis of large tissue sections and many replicates with adjustable mapping resolution at only a fraction of the cost of other commercial platforms. With the IRIS platform, we reconstructed a large area spatial area with two whole mouse brain coronal sections. Moreover, we also created a spatially resolved transcriptome atlas of the mouse brain and identified aging-associated changes in gene expression and spatial organization across various brain cell types. Further analysis of cell-cell interaction changes identified aging-associated foci in white matter regions enriched with inflammatory subtypes of microglia and oligodendrocytes. Overall, the IRIS methodology cost-effective and ease-of-use approach makes it broadly applicable to the studies of spatial gene expression changes in various systems.

Project description:Brain aging causes a progressive decline in functional capacity and is a strong risk factor for dementias such as Alzheimer’s disease. To characterize age-related proteomic changes in the brain, we used quantitative proteomics to examine brain tissues, cortex and hippocampus, of mice at three age points (3, 15, and 24 months old), and quantified more than 7,000 proteins in total with high reproducibility. We found that many of the proteins upregulated with age were extracellular proteins, such as extracellular matrix proteins and secreted proteins, associated with glial cells. On the other hand, many of the significantly downregulated proteins were associated with synapses, particularly postsynaptic density, specifically in the cortex but not in the hippocampus. Our datasets will be helpful as resources for understanding the molecular basis of brain aging.
