Spatiotemporal trajectory analysis and validation of microglia activation in traumatic brain injury

ABSTRACT: Spatial transcriptomics (ST) is an innovative technology that holds tremendous potential for transforming the field of tissue biology research. By simultaneously capturing multiple types of spatial data, including gene expression values, spatial distance information, and tissue morphology, ST enables a comprehensive understanding of biological samples. However, the effective integration of these diverse data types remains a challenge. In this study, we present stLearn, a collection of three computational-statistical algorithms specifically designed to exploit the combined power of gene expression, spatial distance, and tissue morphology data. Our aim is to unlock novel insights into tissue maintenance, development, and disease. The first algorithm, known as pseudo-time-space (PSTS), employs a spatial-graph-based approach to uncover the spatial relationships between cells' transcriptional states in dynamic tissue contexts. To demonstrate the effectiveness of stLearn, we utilize traumatic brain injury datasets to investigate the spatio-temporal dynamics of microglia activation. By applying the PSTS algorithm to a well-established mouse model of acquired brain injury, we successfully reconstruct the spatial trajectory of microglia activation following insult, thereby validating this key component of stLearn.

Spatial Transcriptomics correlated Electron Microscopy [MERFISH]

Project description:Current spatial transcriptomics methods provide molecular and spatial information but no morphological readout. Here, we present STEM - a method that correlates multiplexed error-robust FISH with electron microscopy from neighboring tissue sections of the same sample. STEM links transcriptional and spatial organization of single cells with ultrastructural morphology of the tissue in vivo. Using STEM to characterize demyelinated white-matter lesions allowed us to link morphology of myelin-laden foamy microglia to transcriptional signature. Moreover, we revealed that interferon-response microglia have unique morphology and are enriched near CD8 T-cells.

Open-ST: High-resolution spatial transcriptomics in 3D [xenium]

Project description:Spatial transcriptomics (ST) methods unlock molecular mechanisms underlying tissue development, homeostasis, or disease. However, there is a need for easy-to-use, high-resolution, cost-efficient, and 3D-scalable methods. Here, we report Open-ST, a sequencing-based, open-source experimental and computational resource to address these challenges and to study the molecular organization of tissues in 2D and 3D. In mouse brain, Open-ST captured transcripts at subcellular resolution and reconstructed cell types. In primary head-and-neck tumors and patient-matched healthy/metastatic lymph nodes, Open-ST captured the diversity of immune, stromal, and tumor populations in space, validated by imaging-based ST. Distinct cell states were organized around cell-cell communication hotspots in the tumor but not the metastasis. Strikingly, the 3D reconstruction and multimodal analysis of the metastatic lymph node revealed spatially contiguous structures not visible in 2D and potential biomarkers precisely at the 3D tumor/lymph node boundary. All protocols and software are available at https://rajewsky-lab.github.io/openst.

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.

METI: Deep profiling of tumor ecosystems by integrating cell morphology and spatial transcriptomics

Project description:The recent advance of spatial transcriptomics (ST) technique provides valuable insights into the organization and interactions of cells within the tumor microenvironment (TME). While various analytical tools have been developed for tasks such as spatial clustering, spatially variable gene identification, and cell type deconvolution, most of them are general methods lacking consideration of histological features in spatial data analysis. This limitation results in reduced performance and interpretability of their results when studying the TME. Here, we present a computational framework named, Morphology-Enhanced Spatial Transcriptome Analysis Integrator (METI) to address this gap. METI is an end-to-end framework capable of spatial mapping of both cancer cells and various TME cell components, robust stratification of cell type and transcriptional states, and cell co-localization analysis. By integrating both spatial transcriptomics, cell morphology and curated gene signatures, METI enhances our understanding of the molecular landscape and cellular interactions within the tissue, facilitating detailed investigations of the TME and its functional implications. The performance of METI has been evaluated on ST data generated from various tumor tissues, including gastric, lung, and bladder cancers, as well as premalignant tissues. Across all these tissues and conditions, METI has demonstrated robust performance with consistency.

Spatial Transcriptomics correlated Electron Microscopy [scRNA-Seq]

Project description:Current spatial transcriptomics methods identify cell types and states in a spatial context but lack morphological information. Electron microscopy, in contrast, provides structural details at nanometer resolution without decoding the diverse cellular states and identity. STEM address this limitation by correlating multiplexed error-robust FISH with electron microscopy from adjacent tissue sections. Using STEM to characterize demyelinated lesions in mice, we were able to bridge spatially resolved transcriptional data with morphological information on cell identities. This approach allowed us to link the morphology of foamy microglia and interferon-response microglia with their transcriptional signatures.

Spatiotemporal dynamics of molecular expression pattern and intercellular interactions in glial scar responding to spinal cord injury

Project description:Adult regeneration in spinal cord is poor in mammalian but remarkable in the neonatal mammals and some vertebrates, including fish and salamanders. Increasing evidences basis of this interspecies and ontogeny highlighted the pivotal roles of neuron extrinsic factors-the glial scar, which exert confusing inhibiting or promoting regeneration function, but the spatiotemporal ordering of cellular and molecular events that drive repair processes in scar formation remains poorly understood. Here, we firstly constructed tissue-wide gene expression measurements of mouse spinal cords over the course of scar formation using the spatial transcriptomics (ST) technology in Spinal cord injury (SCI) repair. We analyzed the transcriptomes of nearly 15449 spots from 32 samples and distinguished normal and damage response regions. Compared to histological changes, spatial mapping of differentiation transitions in spinal cord injury site delineated the possible trajectory between subpopulations of fibroblast, glia and immune cell more comprehensively and defined the extent of scar boundary and core more accurately. Locally, we identified gene expression gradients from leading edge to the core of scar areas that allow for re-understanding of the scar microenvironment and found some regulators in special cell types, such as Thbs1 and Col1a2 in macrophage, CD36 and Postn in fibroblast, Plxnb2 and Nxpe3 in microglia, Clu in astrocyte and CD74 in oligodendrocyte. Last, we profiled the bidirectional ligand-receptor interactions at the neighbor cluster boundary, contributing to maintain scar architecture during gliosis and fibrosis, and found GPR37L1_PSAP and GPR37_PSAP were top 2 enriched gene-pairs between microglia and fibroblast or microglia and astrocyte. Together, the establishment of these profiles firstly uncovered scar spatial heterogeneity and lineage trajectory, provide an unbiased view of scar and served as a valuable resource for CNS injury treatment.

Deciphering spatial domains from spatial multi-omics with SpatialGlue

Project description:Integration of multiple data modalities in a spatially informed manner remains an unmet need for exploiting spatial multi-omics data. Here, we introduce SpatialGlue, a novel graph neural network with dual-attention mechanism, to decipher spatial domains by intra-omics integration of spatial location and omics measurement followed by cross-omics integration. We demonstrate that SpatialGlue can more accurately resolve spatial domains at a higher resolution across different tissue types and technology platforms, to enable biological insights into cross-modality spatial correlations.
