Project description:Multiple primary lung cancers (MPLC) pose diagnostic and therapeutic challenges in the clinic. Here, we orchestrated the cellular atlas and spatial architecture of MPLC based on spatial transcriptomics.
Project description:These data were used in the spatial transcriptomics analysis of the article titled \\"Single-Cell and Spatial Transcriptomics Analysis of Human Adrenal Aging\\".
Project description:To investigate spatial heterogeneities in the axolotl forebrain, a coronal section of it was obtained for spatial transcriptomics using Visium V1.
Project description:Spatial organization of different cell types within prenatal skin across various anatomical sites is not well understood. To address this, here we have generated spatial transcriptomics data from prenatal facial and abdominal skin obtained from a donor at 10 post conception weeks. This in combination with our prenatal skin scRNA-seq dataset has helped us map the location of various identified cell types.
Project description:The cellular architecture of a tumor has a major impact on cancer outcome, and thus there is interest in identifying genes controlling the tumor microenvironment (TME). While CRISPR screens are helping uncover genes regulating many cell-intrinsic processes, existing approaches are suboptimal for identifying gene functions operating extracellularly or within a tissue context. To address this, we developed an approach for spatial functional genomics called Perturb-map, which utilizes protein barcodes (Pro-Code) to enable spatial detection of barcoded cells within tissue. We applied Perturb-map to knockout dozens of genes in parallel in a mouse model of lung cancer and simultaneously assessed how each knockout influenced tumor growth, histopathology, and immune composition. Additionally, we paired Perturb-map and spatial transcriptomics for unbiased molecular analysis of Pro-Code/CRISPR lesions. Our studies found in Tgfbr2 knockout lesions, the TME was converted to a fibro-mucinous state and T-cells excluded, concomitant with upregulated TGFb and TGFb-mediated stroma activation, suggesting Tgfbr2 loss on lung cancer cells increased TGFb bioavailability and enhanced its suppressive effects on the TME. These studies establish Perturb-map for functional genomics within a tissue at single cell-resolution with spatial architecture preserved.
