Project description:Spatial omics are increasingly "fused" with classical biomedical imaging modalities to complement them with spatially-resolved molecular profiling, enabling deeper understanding of the biochemical basis of health and diesease. Before the multimodal information can be fused, all contributing imaging data must be spatially aligned through a process called coregistration, which remains a challenge. Here we present a multimodal coregistration framework with great genericity and accuracy for spatial omics data. Specifically, an original dimension reduction algorithm "PseudoRep" is used to bridge cross-modal gaps: PseudoRep can generate a single-channel representation of the highly multiplexed molecular image from spatial omics and ensure that the resulting representation appears "pseudo-unimodal" to the image from the other modality. Then, a Deep Learning-based transformation algorithm "DeepReg" is adopted to accurately model nonlinear tissue deformations due to anatomical variations or sample manipulations. Our method demonstrated its versatility by coregistering mass spectrometry imaging-mediated spatial metabolomics data with diverse modalities (magnetic resonance imaging, brain atlas, microscopy, and spatial transcriptomics) and reduced 38\%\textemdash69\% of coregistration errors compared to existing methods. Notably, we open-source a toolbox to implement both the coregistration and its downstream tasks (co-expression analysis, anatomical annotation, and pansharpening), which is expected to greatly facilitate the democratization of multimodal fusion studies in the spatial omics community.

Project description:The medulla is the largest neuropil of the Drosophila optic lobe. It contains about 100 neuronal types that have been comprehensively characterized morphologically and molecularly. These neuronal types are specified from a larval neuroepithelium called the Outer Proliferation Center (OPC) via the integration of temporal, spatial, and Notch-driven mechanisms. Although we recently characterized the temporal windows of origin of all medulla neurons, as well as their Notch status, their spatial origins remained unknown. Here, we isolated cells from different OPC spatial domains and performed single-cell mRNA-sequencing to identify the neuronal types produced in these domains. This allowed us to characterize in a high-throughput manner the spatial origins of all medulla neurons.

Project description:Defining the molecular phenotype of single cells in-situ is essential for understanding tissue heterogeneity in health and disease. Powerful imaging technologies have recently been joined by spatial omics technologies, promising unparalleled insights into the molecular landscape of biological samples. One approach involves laser microdissection in combination with membrane glass slides for the isolation of single cells from specific anatomical regions for further analysis by spatial omics. However, so far this is not fully compatible with automated staining platforms and routine histology procedures such as heat-induced epitope retrieval, limiting reproducibility, throughput and integration of advanced staining procedures. This study describes a robust workflow for routine use of glass membrane slides, allowing precise extraction of tissue in combination with automated and multicolor immunofluorescence staining. The key advance is the addition of glycerol to standard heat-induced epitope retrieval protocol, preventing membrane distortion while preserving antigen retrieval properties. Importantly, we show that glycerol is fully compatible with mass-spectrometry based proteomics and does not affect proteome depth or quality. Further, we enable single focal plane imaging by removing remaining trapped air pockets with an incision. We demonstrate our workflow using the recently introduced Deep Visual Proteomics technology on the single-cell type analysis of adjacent suprabasal and basal keratinocytes of human skin. Our protocol extends the utility of membrane glass slides and enables much more robust integration with routine histology procedures, high-throughput multiplexed imaging and sophisticated downstream spatial omics technologies.

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.

Project description:The coordinated differentiation of progenitor cells into specialized cell types and their spatial organization into distinct domains is central to embryogenesis. Here, we applied a new unbiased spatially resolved single-cell transcriptomics method to identify the genetic programs underlying the emergence of specialized cell types during limb development and their spatial integration. We identify multiple transcription factors whose expression patterns are predominantly associated with cell type specification or spatial position, suggesting two parallel yet highly interconnected regulatory systems. We demonstrate that the embryonic limb undergoes a complex multi-scale re-organization upon perturbation of one of its spatial organizing centers, including the loss of specific cell populations, specific alterations of pre-existing cell states’ molecular identities and changes in their relative spatial distribution. Our study shows how multi-dimensional single-cell, spatially resolved molecular atlases can allow the deconvolution of spatial identity and cell fate and reveal the interconnected genetic networks that regulate organogenesis and its reorganization upon genetic alterations.

Project description:Plant leaf intercellular space provides a nutrient-rich and heterogeneous niche for microbes that have a critical impact on plant health. However, how individual plant cells respond to heterogeneous microbial colonization remains largely elusive. Here, by time-resolved simultaneous single-cell transcriptome and epigenome profiling of plants (Arabidopsis thaliana) infected by virulent and avirulent bacterial pathogens (Pseudomonas syringae), we present an atlas of gene regulatory logic involving transcription factors, potential cis-regulatory elements, and target genes associated with disease and immunity. We also identify previously uncharacterized cell populations with distinct immune gene expression within major developmental cell types. Furthermore, we employ time-resolved spatial transcriptomics to reveal spatial heterogeneity of plant immune responses linked to pathogen distribution. Integration of our single-cell multiomics and spatial omics data enables spatiotemporal mapping of defense gene regulatory logic. Overall, this study provides a molecularly-defined spatiotemporal map of plant-microbe interaction at the single-cell resolution.
