Spatial reconstruction of immune niches by combining photoactivatable reporter and single-cell RNA-seq

ABSTRACT: Cellular function is strongly dependent on surrounding cells and environmental factors. Current technologies are limited in characterizing the spatial location and unique gene-programs of cells in less structured and dynamic niches. Here we developed a method (NICHE-seq) that combines photoactivatable fluorescent reporters, two-photon microscopy and single-cell RNA-seq to infer the cellular and molecular composition of niches. We applied NICHE-seq to examine the high-order assembly of immune cell networks. NICHE-seq is highly reproducible in spatial tissue reconstruction, enabling identification of rare niche-specific immune subpopulations and unique gene-programs, including natural killer cells within infected B cell follicles and distinct myeloid states in the marginal zone. This study establishes NICHE-seq as a broadly applicable method for elucidating high-order spatial organization of cell types and their molecular pathways.

An anatomic proteomic atlas of human glioblastoma

Project description:Glioblastoma (GBM) is an aggressive form of brain cancer with well-established patterns of intra-tumoral heterogeneity implicated in treatment resistance, recurrence and progression. While the regional and single cell-level genetic variation of GBM have been recently resolved, downstream phenotype-level proteomic programs have yet to be assigned to specific niches. Here, we leverage laser capture microdissection and mass spectrometry-based proteomics to assign 4794 proteins to GBM’s hallmark histomorphologic niches across 20 patients. Importantly, this analysis defined 1360 regionally enriched proteins, including 502 which are proteogenomically concordant. We validate a subset of identified niche-specific markers using orthogonal immunohistochemical approaches and make the associated atlas publicly available as an online resource (https://www.brainproteinatlas.org/dash/apps/GPA). Spatial resolution of the molecular landscape of GBM, operational at the protein level, aims to further facilitate and refine our biological understanding and treatment approaches for this aggressive disease.

Fragment-sequencing unveils local tissue microenvironments at single cell resolution

Project description:The spatial organization of cells within tissues is tightly linked to their biological function. Yet, methods to probe the entire transcriptome of multiple native tissue microenvironments at single cell resolution are lacking. Here, we introduce fragment-sequencing, a method that enables the transcriptomic characterization of single cells within spatially distinct tissue niches. Fragment-sequencing of the mouse metastatic liver revealed previously uncharacterized zonated genes and ligand-receptor interactions enriched in the different hepatic microenvironments and the metastatic niche.

Spatial transcriptomics from murine inguinal and mesenteric lymph nodes

Project description:B cell-interacting reticular cells (BRC) form transcriptionally and topologically stable immune-interacting microenvironments that direct efficient humoral immunity. While several immune niche factors have been elucidated, the cues sustaining BRC function and topology across activation states remain unclear. Here, we employed spatial transcriptome analysis of murine ingunal and mesenteric lymph nodes to examine co-localization of distinct BRC subsets and immune cells complementing BRC-immune cell interaction analysis. Spatial analysis supported predicted feedforward BRC-immune cell circuits that sustain topologically-organized, functional niches across inflammatory states, lymphoid organs and species.

Comprehensive proteome of the adult neural stem cell niche identifies key regulators of adult neurogenesis

Project description:Neural stem cells (NSCs) generating new neurons are restricted to few niches in the adult mammalian brain, while the remainder rather promotes gliogenesis. Here we take advantage of the spatial separation of an NSC niche (the subependymal zone) and the region to where the newly generated neurons migrate and integrate (the olfactory bulb). Using state-of-the-art mass spectrometry we present a comprehensive proteomic characterization of these niches compared to a region of the normal brain parenchyma (cerebral cortex) that is not contusive to neurogenesis and new neuron integration. We find unique compositions of regulatory ECM components in the neurogenic niche, with quiescent NSCs as a main source of their local ECM, including the multi-functional enzyme transglutaminase 2 that we identify as crucial for neurogenesis. Atomic force microscopy further corroborates indications from the proteome that neurogenic niches are significantly stiffer than the non-neurogenic parenchyma, highlighting the unique properties of these special niches.

The covariance environment defines cellular niches for spatial inference

Project description:The tsunami of new multiplexed spatial profiling technologies has opened a range of computational challenges focused on leveraging these powerful data for biological discovery. A key challenge underlying computation is a suitable representation for features of cellular niches. Here, we develop the covariance environment (COVET), a representation that can capture the rich, continuous multivariate nature of cellular niches by capturing the gene-gene covariate structure across cells in the niche, which can reflect the cell-cell communication between them. We define a principled optimal transport-based distance metric between COVET niches and develop a computationally efficient approximation to this metric that can scale to millions of cells. Using COVET to encode spatial context, we develop environmental variational inference (ENVI), a conditional variational autoencoder that jointly embeds spatial and single-cell RNA-seq data into a latent space. Two distinct decoders either impute gene expression across spatial modality, or project spatial information onto dissociated single-cell data. We show that ENVI is not only superior in the imputation of gene expression but is also able to infer spatial context to disassociated single-cell genomics data.

Project description:Efficiency of labelling by photoactivatable/clickable myristate probes X3/X8/X10 is compared to the positive control probe YnMyr. Additionally, negative controls for each probe were obtained by treatment with NMT ihibitor IMP-366 (DDD85464). The resulting data indicates efficient labeling of NMT substrates by photoactivatable probes that is NMT-dependent.

Tumor-associated macrophage functional heterogeneity is driven by niche diversity in breast cancer

Project description:The concept of macrophage niches has redefined the classification of macrophages, moving beyond ontogeny and function to encompass the mutually beneficial loop of signals in a given tissue environment. As such, tissue-resident macrophages adapt to local environmental signals within and between tissues to acquire specific functional adaptations. Neoplastic transition transforms the tissue environment, which then raises the question as to how existing macrophage subsets and their niche contribute to the tumor-associated macrophage (TAM) compartment. By combining single cell RNA sequencing and 2-photon imaging, we discovered that considerable TAM heterogeneity in mammary breast tumor is driven by niches that exist prior to tumor development, macrophage localization within the tumor and the stage of tumor malignancy. The differentiation of TAM subsets was associated with distinct signaling paths, homing and transcription factor signatures. We find similar functional heterogeneity in human breast TAMs. In overview, we show that specific niches within the tumor rather than defined activation states (e.g. the M1/M2 dichotomy) are the major drivers of TAM plasticity and heterogeneity. The distinctions created by this analysis show how treatments of different tumor indications should propose targeting specific TAMs at this niche/pathway level.

A novel labelling strategy enables spatial resolution of metastatic niche cellular composition and uncovers lung stem cell activity proximal to breast cancer

Project description:Cancer cell behaviour is strongly influenced by the surrounding cellular environment, making the characterization of the local tumour microenvironment (or niche) a fundamental question in tumour biology. To date, a direct investigation of the early cellular changes induced by metastatic cells within the surrounding tissue is difficult to achieve, especially at early micro-metastatic stages and for low frequency niche populations. Here we present the strategy whereby metastatic cancer cells release a cell-penetrating fluorescent protein that is efficiently taken up by neighbouring cells, allowing spatial identification of the local metastatic cellular environment within the whole tissue. Notably, this strategy can be used to follow metastatic niches from early micro-metastasis to late macro-metastasis, allowing temporal resolution. Moreover, the presence of low represented niche cells can be detected and characterized among the bulk tissue. To highlight its potential, we have used this niche-labelling strategy to study the lung metastatic environment of breast cancer cells. We uncover the presence of lung parenchymal cells within the metastatic niche where lung epithelial cells show stem cell-like features with expression of lung progenitor markers, multi-lineage differentiation potential and self-renewal activity. Moreover, lung epithelial cells can be directly perturbed by cancer cells in ex vivo co-culture assays and support their growth. In summary, here we describe a novel labelling system that enables spatial resolution of the metastatic microenvironment and provide evidence that the tissue cellular environment surrounding metastatic growth is characterized by undifferentiated features. The data highlight the significant potential of this method as a platform for new discoveries.
