High resolution mapping of the tumor microenvironment using integrated single-cell, spatial and in situ analysis [Xenium]

ABSTRACT: Single-cell and spatial technologies that profile gene expression across a whole tissue are revolutionizing the resolution of molecular states in clinical tissue samples. Current commercially available technologies provide whole transcriptome single-cell, whole transcriptome spatial context, or high resolution in situ targeted gene expression analysis. Here, we combine these technologies to explore tissue heterogeneity in large, FFPE human breast cancer sections. In one sample, we identify three molecularly distinct tumor subtypes, enabling us to define cell neighborhoods and biomarkers in the progression towards invasive carcinoma. In another sample, we identify rare boundary cells that sit at the critical myoepithelial border confining the spread of malignant cells. We demonstrate that each technology alone provides information about molecular signatures relevant to understanding cancer heterogeneity. However, it is the integration of these technologies that leads to even deeper insights, ushering in discoveries that will progress oncology research and the development of diagnostics and therapeutics.

Multiscale topology classifies and quantifies cell types in subcellular spatial transcriptomics [Xenium]

Project description:Spatial transcriptomics has the potential to transform our understanding of RNA expression in tissues. Classical array-based technologies produce multiple-cell-scale measurements requiring deconvolution to recover single cell information. However, rapid advances in subcellular measurement of RNA expression at whole-transcriptome depth necessitate a fundamentally different approach. To integrate single-cell RNA-seq data with nanoscale spatial transcriptomics, we present a topological method for automatic cell type identification (TopACT). Unlike popular decomposition approaches to multicellular resolution data, TopACT is able to pinpoint the spatial locations of individual sparsely dispersed cells without prior knowledge of cell boundaries. In extant mouse brain data, TopACT locates previously undetectable macrophages. Pairing TopACT with multiparameter persistent homology landscapes predicts immune cells forming a peripheral ring structure within kidney glomeruli in a murine model of lupus nephritis, which we experimentally validate with multiplex imaging. The proposed topological data analysis unifies multiple biological scales, from subcellular gene expression to multicellular tissue organization.

Bulk RNAseq expression data of colon biopsies from intestinal mucosa of non-IBD controls and patients with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis

Project description:Ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease are chronic inflammatory intestinal diseases with perplexing heterogeneity in manifestations and response to treatment. While the molecular basis for this heterogeneity remains uncharacterized, single-cell technologies allow us to explore the transcriptional states within tissues at an unprecedented resolution which could further understanding of these complex diseases. Here, we apply single-cell RNA-sequencing to human inflamed intestine and show that the largest differences among patients are present within the myeloid compartment including macrophages and neutrophils. Using spatial transcriptomics in human tissue at single-cell resolution (CosMx Spatial Molecular Imaging) we spatially localized each of the macrophage and neutrophil subsets identified by single-cell RNA-sequencing and unravel further macrophage diversity based on their tissue localization. Finally, single-cell RNA-sequencing combined with single-cell spatial analysis reveals a strong communication network involving macrophages and inflammatory fibroblasts. Our data sheds light on the cellular complexity of these diseases and points towards the myeloid and stromal compartments as important cellular subsets for understanding patient-to-patient heterogeneity.

Polony gels enable amplifiable DNA stamping and spatial transcriptomics of chronic pain

Project description:Despite wide applications in tissue mapping and vastly improved imaging and omics technologies, spatial, genome-wide assays of gene expression are yet to reliably achieve the resolution and sensitivity approaching dissociative single-cell RNA sequencing. Here, we introduce Pixel-seq, a spatial barcoding method using “continuous” polony gels of ≤ 1 µm feature resolution for capturing tissue RNAs and precise aggregation of mapped transcripts into individual cells. The single-cell assay was demonstrated on mapping the most common brain structures, neuron layers and clusters, creating a three-dimensional atlas of the mouse parabrachial nucleus, and discovering neuropathic pain-associated gene regulation, glial transcriptomic dynamics, and cell-cell communication in the homeostatic adult brain. Our results highlight the necessity of the non-dissociative single-cell sequencing for mapping structural and functional heterogeneity in tissues.

PanIN and CAF Transitions in Pancreatic Carcinogenesis Revealed with Spatial Data Integration [Xenium]

Project description:This study introduces a new imaging, spatial transcriptomics (ST), and single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) integration pipeline to characterize neoplastic cell state transitions during tumorigenesis. Our semi-supervised analysis pipeline was applied to examine pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasias (PanIN), the most frequent premalignant lesions that can develop into pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Their strict diagnosis on FFPE samples has limited previous characterization of human PanINs within their microenvironment through single-cell approaches. We leverage unbiased whole transcriptome FFPE spatial profiling to enable this characterization in a rare cohort of matched low-grade and high-grade PanIN lesions to track progression and map cellular phenotypes relative to scRNA-seq data of advanced PDAC tumors. We demonstrate that cancer associated fibroblasts (CAF), including antigen-presenting CAFs (apCAF), are located close to PanINs. We further observed a transition from CAF-related inflammatory signaling to cellular proliferation during PanIN progression. We use these findings to guide panel design to perform single-cell validation with high-dimensional imaging proteomics and transcriptomics technologies. Altogether, our pipeline for spatial multi-omics characterization provides a resource for future PanIN studies. Moreover, our semi-supervised learning framework to spatial multi-omics has broad applicability across cancer types to decipher the spatiotemporal dynamics of carcinogenesis.

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.

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.

Multiregional sampling of primary glioblastoma specimens

Project description:Glioblastoma (GBM), the most common malignant tumor originating in the brain remains incurable with few treatment advances despite decades of investigation. Treatment failure is often attributed to intratumoral heterogeneity, which fosters tumor evolution and selection of resistant clones. However, intratumoral heterogeneity and tumor evolution remain poorly understood in GBM as studies are typically based on single tissue biopsies and lack spatial context. Here, we have utilized pre-operative MRI scans and intra-operative 3-D surgical neuronavigation for 10 primary IDH-WT GBM patients to acquire 103 tissue samples that represent maximal tumor diversity and are mapped by 3-D spatial coordinates. We combine insights from deconvolution of GBM transcriptomes and chromatin landscapes with single-cell analysis to assess intratumoral heterogeneity of each program at the cellular level and to distinguish neuronal, glial, and immune programs aberrantly active in tumor cells from their counterparts in normal cells. Collectively, these data provide unprecedented insight into GBM intratumoral heterogeneity and evolution from single-cell to whole-tumor 3D spatial resolution, redefining current understanding and providing a rich resource of targets for therapeutic investigation.

All-at-once spatial proteome profiling of complex tissue context with single-cell-type resolution by proximity proteomics

Project description:Spatial proteomics enables in-depth mapping of cellular components and tissue architectures, mostly achieved by laser microdissection-mass spectrometry (LMD-MS) and antibody-based imaging. However, the trade-offs among sampling resolution, throughput, and proteome coverage still limit the applicability of these strategies, especially toward deep proteome profiling with high spatial resolution. Here, we propose PSPro (Proximity labeling for Spatial Proteomics) by leveraging precise antibody-targeted biotinylation at three-dimension scale and efficient affinity purification for MS-based cell-type-specific proteome profiling from single tissue slice. With fine-tuned labeling parameters, PSPro achieves all-at-once cell-type proteome capture with sub-micrometer resolution and shows comparable performance to flow cytometry- and LMD-based proteomic workflows. We apply PSPro to fixed tumor and spleen slices, enriching thousands of proteins containing known markers from ten cell types. For tissue microenvironments with high heterogeneity, we further incorporate region-resolved LMD into PSPro to facilitate direct comparison of cell subpopulations from the same tissue slice, revealing spatial proteome heterogeneity of cancer cells and immune cells in pancreatic tumor. Collectively, PSPro converts traditional “antibody-epitope” paradigm to “antibody-cell type proteome” for spatial biology in a user-friendly manner.
