Comparison of Multiplexed Immunofluorescence Imaging to Chromogenic Immunohistochemistry of Skin Biomarkers in Response to Monkeypox Virus Infection.

ABSTRACT: Over the last 15 years, advances in immunofluorescence-imaging based cycling methods, antibody conjugation methods, and automated image processing have facilitated the development of a high-resolution, multiplexed tissue immunofluorescence (MxIF) method with single cell-level quantitation termed Cell DIVETM. Originally developed for fixed oncology samples, here it was evaluated in highly fixed (up to 30 days), archived monkeypox virus-induced inflammatory skin lesions from a retrospective study in 11 rhesus monkeys to determine whether MxIF was comparable to manual H-scoring of chromogenic stains. Six protein markers related to immune and cellular response (CD68, CD3, Hsp70, Hsp90, ERK1/2, ERK1/2 pT202_pY204) were manually quantified (H-scores) by a pathologist from chromogenic IHC double stains on serial sections and compared to MxIF automated single cell quantification of the same markers that were multiplexed on a single tissue section. Overall, there was directional consistency between the H-score and the MxIF results for all markers except phosphorylated ERK1/2 (ERK1/2 pT202_pY204), which showed a decrease in the lesion compared to the adjacent non-lesioned skin by MxIF vs an increase via H-score. Improvements to automated segmentation using machine learning and adding additional cell markers for cell viability are future options for improvement. This method could be useful in infectious disease research as it conserves tissue, provides marker colocalization data on thousands of cells, allowing further cell level data mining as well as a reduction in user bias.

Project description:Multiplex immunohistochemistry/immunofluorescence (mIHC/mIF) is a developing technology that facilitates the evaluation of multiple, simultaneous protein expressions at single-cell resolution while preserving tissue architecture. These approaches have shown great potential for biomarker discovery, yet many challenges remain. Importantly, streamlined cross-registration of multiplex immunofluorescence images with additional imaging modalities and immunohistochemistry (IHC) can help increase the plex and/or improve the quality of the data generated by potentiating downstream processes such as cell segmentation. To address this problem, a fully automated process was designed to perform a hierarchical, parallelizable, and deformable registration of multiplexed digital whole-slide images (WSIs). We generalized the calculation of mutual information as a registration criterion to an arbitrary number of dimensions, making it well suited for multiplexed imaging. We also used the self-information of a given IF channel as a criterion to select the optimal channels to use for registration. Additionally, as precise labeling of cellular membranes in situ is essential for robust cell segmentation, a pan-membrane immunohistochemical staining method was developed for incorporation into mIF panels or for use as an IHC followed by cross-registration. In this study, we demonstrate this process by registering whole-slide 6-plex/7-color mIF images with whole-slide brightfield mIHC images, including a CD3 and a pan-membrane stain. Our algorithm, WSI, mutual information registration (WSIMIR), performed highly accurate registration allowing the retrospective generation of an 8-plex/9-color, WSI, and outperformed 2 alternative automated methods for cross-registration by Jaccard index and Dice similarity coefficient (WSIMIR vs automated WARPY, P < .01 and P < .01, respectively, vs HALO + transformix, P = .083 and P = .049, respectively). Furthermore, the addition of a pan-membrane IHC stain cross-registered to an mIF panel facilitated improved automated cell segmentation across mIF WSIs, as measured by significantly increased correct detections, Jaccard index (0.78 vs 0.65), and Dice similarity coefficient (0.88 vs 0.79).
