Project description:Using Multiome and previously published sc/snRNA-seq data, we studied eight anatomical regions of the human heart including left and right ventricular free walls (LV and RV), left and right atria (LA and RA), left ventricular apex (AX), interventricular septum (SP), sino-atrial node (SAN) and atrioventricular node (AVN). For the first time, we profile the cells of the human cardiac conduction system, revealing their distinctive repertoire of ion channels, G-protein coupled receptors and cell-cell interactions. We map the identified cells to spatial transcriptomic data to discover cellular niches within the eight regions of the heart.

Project description:These samples are part of a study to provide a spatially resolved single-cell multiomics map of human trophoblast differentiation in early pregnancy. Here we profiled with 10x Visium Spatial transcriptomics of the entire maternal-fetal interface including the myometrium, allowing us to resolve the full trajectory of trophoblast differentiation.
Project description:Spatially resolved transcriptomics technologies allow for the measurement of gene expression in situ. We applied direct RNA hybridization-based in situ sequencing (ISS, Cartana) to compare male and female healthy mouse kidneys and the male kidneys injury and repair timecourse of ischemic reperfusion injury (IRI). A pre-selected panel of 200 genes were used to identify the dynamics of cell states and their spatial distributions during injury and repair. We developed a new computational pipeline, CellScopes, for the rapid analysis, multi-omic integration and visualization of spatially resolved transcriptomic datasets. The resulting atlas allowed us to resolve distinct kidney niches, dynamic alterations in cell state over the course of injury and repair and cell-cell interactions between leukocytes and kidney parenchyma. Projection of snRNA-seq dataset from the same injury and repair samples allowed us to impute the spatial localization of genes not directly measured by Cartana.
Project description:Understanding the spatial distribution of T cells is pivotal to decrypting immune dysfunction in cancer. Current spatially resolved transcriptomics fall short in directly annotating T cell receptors (TCRs), limiting the comprehension of anti-cancer immunity. We introduce a novel technology, Spatially Resolved T Cell Receptor Sequencing (SPTCR-seq), integrating target enrichment and long-read sequencing for highly sensitive TCR sequencing. This approach yields an on-target rate of ~85%, and via a bespoke computational pipeline, it provides meticulous spatial mapping, error correction, and UMI refinement. SPTCR-seq outperforms PCR-based methods, offering superior reconstruction of the complete TCR architecture, inclusive of V, D, J regions and the vital complementarity-determining region 3 (CDR3). Applying SPTCR-seq, we reveal local T cell diversity, clonal expansion, and transcriptional evolution across spatially distinct niches in glioblastoma, identifying critical involvement of NK and B cells in spatial T cell adaptation. SPTCR-seq, by bridging spatially resolved omics and TCR sequencing, stands as a robust tool for exploring T cell dysfunction in cancers and beyond.
