Project description:Aging is a major, yet unmodifiable, risk factor for cardiovascular disease, leading to vascular alterations, increased cardiac fibrosis, and inflammation, all of which contribute to impaired cardiac function. To investigate the spatial impact of aging, we applied an integrative approach combining single-nucleus RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics in 12-week-old and 18-month-old mice. We systematically mapped the aging heart and identified larger vessel-associated niches as key hotspots for activated macrophages and fibroblasts in aged hearts. These niches, surrounding arteries, were also enriched in senescent cells. Our findings suggest that the microenvironment around the vasculature is particularly susceptible to age-related changes and serves as a primary site for inflammation-driven aging so called \"inflammaging\". This study provides new insights into how aging reshapes cardiac cellular architecture, highlighting vessel-associated niches as potential therapeutic targets for age-related cardiac dysfunction.

Project description:This study characterizes the single-cell transcriptional landscape of murine glioblastoma generated using the RCAS/Nestin-Tv-a system, in which hPDGFB and shTP53 transgenes drive tumor initiation. We profiled primary and post-irradiation recurrent tumors, along with healthy brain controls, using the 10x Genomics Flex (GEM-X) gene expression platform and custom probe addon sets targeting the RCAS transcripts. A total of 16 samples were included after QC filtering (primary tumors, recurrent tumors, and control brains). The data set provides genome-wide single-cell RNA-seq measurements at probe-level resolution.

Project description:We generated a tamoxifen-inducible, adipocyte-specific ATGL-KO animals to analyze the role of adipocyte ATGL in cardiac ischemia/reperfusion. KO was induced in 10 weeks old male mice via 7d of consecutive i.p.-injections of 500µg hydroxytamoxifen/day. Pnpla2-flox homozygous, Cre-negative littermates were used as control. After 2 weeks washout phase mice underwent closed chest ischemia with first ligature-induction surgery and 3-7 d later 1 hour closed chest ischemia followed by 24 h reperfusion. Mice were sacrificed and hearts excised to perform spatial transcriptomic analysis on 10X Visium Gene Expression slides. The goal was to identify differences in gene expression between KO and control in the different zones of the heart after ischemia (eg. ischemic, border and remote zone).

Project description:We used Visium technology (10X Genomics) to infer cell-to-cell communication in ovarian and uterine tissue based on spatial proximity. Organs from 3-month mice in diestrus and 18-month old mice were collected and frozen in OCT. 10 µm thick tissue slices were placed on Visium Spatial Gene Expression Slides (10X Genomics) and stained with Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E). Libraries were prepared by manufacturer’s recommendations and sequenced on NovaSeq6000. For samples that were sequenced in two runs, both sequencing runs were merged when running spaceranger (10X Genomics). Original nd2 microscopy images and results of scRNA-seq (linked datasets) and spatial transcriptomics analysis are available at Biostudies (S-BIAD482 and S-BSST852).

Project description:We employed high-throughput sequencing with spatial resolution in the WAP-T mouse model of basal-like breast cancer (BLBC) to investigate the transcriptomic response to radiation therapy (RT). Our analysis revealed a distinct spatial pattern of gene expression (10X visium platform), with irradiated BLBC tumors exhibiting a strong enrichment of epithelial genes and a hybrid epithelial/mesenchymal (E/M) state. Notably, MUC1 expression was upregulated in response to RT, suggesting its role as a key driver of cell survival. These findings provide new insights into the spatial transcriptomic landscape of BLBC under RT and highlight the potential of MUC1 as a therapeutic target or prognostic marker for optimizing patient response to RT.

Project description:We developed cell2location, a principled and versatile Bayesian model that is designed to resolve fine-grained cell types in spatial transcriptomic data and create comprehensive cellular maps of diverse tissues. To validate cell2location in real tissue, we applied the model to data from the mouse brain, which features diverse neural cell types organised in a well characterised spatial architecture across brain areas, thus presenting a canonical use case to test spatial genomics. We generated matched single nucleus (sn, this submission) and Visium spatial RNA-seq (10X Genomics) profiles of adjacent mouse brain sections that contain multiple regions from the telencephalon and diencephalon. To assess the biological and intra-organ technical variation in spatial mapping, we assayed two mouse brains and serial tissue sections from each brain (total of 3 and 2 matched sections from two animals, respectively, and an extra section for snRNA-seq), creating a rich multi-modal and replicated transcriptomic dataset. Tissue processing. Brains of wild-type adult C57BL/6 mice (postnatal day 56, 1 female and 1 male) were dissected, snap frozen, embedded in optimal cutting temperature compound (Tissue-Tek) and stored at -80oC. Brain hemispheres were cryosectioned at -20oC using a cryostat (Leica, CM3050S). To assess tissue quality, RNA was extracted from test tissue sections using the RNeasy Pico Kit (Qiagen) and yielded high RIN values (9.6 and 9.7) on an Agilent Bioanalyser, indicating high RNA quality. For matched single nuclei and Visium RNA-seq experiments, brain hemispheres were cryosectioned to adjacent thick (200 µm) and thin (10 µm) coronal sections, respectively, and processed the same day. In total, four consecutive sets of thick and thin tissue sections were collected from each brain. Five sets of tissue sections yielded both good quality single nuclei and Visium data (three adjacent sections from mouse 1 and two sections from mouse 2) while one additional section from mouse 2 yielded good single nuclei; these were considered for analysis in this study. Visium spatial transcriptomics. Thin (10 µm) mouse brain sections were cryosectioned and mounted directly onto separate capture areas on 10X Visium Spatial Gene Expression slides (beta product version). Processing was done per manufacturer’s protocols. Briefly, sections were methanol-fixed, hematoxylin and eosin (H&E)-stained, and imaged on a NanoZoomer 2.0 slide scanner (Hamamatsu). Sections were then permeabilized and further processed to obtain cDNA libraries that were quality controlled using the Agilent Bioanalyser. The cDNA libraries were sequenced on the Illumina HiSeq 4000 system, aiming at 300 million raw reads per section with read lengths 28cy R1, 8cy i7 index, 0cy i5 index, 91cy read 2. 10X Visium spatial sequencing data was aligned to mouse pre-mRNA genome reference version mm10 using 10X SpaceRanger and mRNA count matrices were generated by adding intronic and exonic reads for each gene in each location. The paired histology H&E images were processed using 10X SpaceRanger to select locations covered by tissue by aligning pre-recorded spot locations with fiducial border spots in the histology image. This allows evaluating the correspondence between cell maps produced using our method and the known brain anatomy. This also allows identifying the number of nuclei in each spot using nuclear segmentation as described in Suppl. Methods and reported in Fig S8A-D. The histology image was used to manually annotate cortical layers in the primary somatosensory cortex (SSp) region using the lasso tool in the 10X Loupe browser.

Project description:Anorectal malformation (ARM), a common congenital anomaly of the digestive tract, is a result of insufficient elongation of the urorectal septum. The cytoplasmic protein Receptor of Activated C-Kinase 1 (Rack1) is involved in embryonic neural development; however, its role in embryonic digestive tract development and ARM formation is unexplored. Our study explored the hindgut development and cell death mechanisms in ARM-affected rats using spatial transcriptome analysis. We induced ARM in rats by administering ethylenethiourea via gavage on gestational day (GD) 10. On GDs 14-16, embryos from both normal and ARM groups underwent spatial transcriptome sequencing, which identified key genes and signalling pathways. Rack1 exhibited significant interactions among differentially expressed genes on GDs 15 and 16. Reduced Rack1 expression in the ARM-affected hindgut, verified by Rack1 silencing in intestinal epithelial cells, led to increased P38 phosphorylation and activation of the MAPK signalling pathway. The suppression of this pathway downregulated Nqo1 and Gpx4 expression, resulting in elevated intracellular levels of ferrous ions, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lipid peroxides. Downregulation of Gpx4 expression in the ARM hindgut, coupled with Rack1 co-localisation and consistent mitochondrial morphology, indicated ferroptosis. In summary, Rack1, acting as a hub gene, modulates ferrous ions, lipid peroxides, and ROS via the P38-MAPK/Nqo1/Gpx4 axis. This modulation induces ferroptosis in intestinal epithelial cells, potentially influencing hindgut development during ARM onset.
