Comparison of imaging based single-cell resolution spatial transcriptomics profiling platforms using formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tumor samples [Xenium]

ABSTRACT: Imaging-based spatial transcriptomics (ST) is evolving as a pivotal technology in studying tumor biology and associated microenvironments. However, the strengths of the commercially available ST platforms in studying spatial biology have not been systematically evaluated using rigorously controlled experiments. We use serial 5 m sections of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded surgically resected lung adenocarcinoma and pleural mesothelioma samples in tissue microarrays to compare the performance of the ST platforms (CosMx, MERFISH, and Xenium (uni/multi-modal)) in reference to bulk RNA sequencing, multiplex immunofluorescence, GeoMx, and hematoxylin and eosin staining data. In addition to an objective assessment of automatic cell segmentation and phenotyping, we perform a manual phenotyping evaluation to assess pathologically meaningful comparisons between ST platforms. Here, we show the intricate differences between the ST platforms, reveal the importance of parameters such probe design in determining the data quality, and suggest reliable workflows for accurate spatial profiling and molecular discovery.

Xenium data for a comparison of spatial transcriptomics technologies for medulloblastoma cryosections

Project description:10X Genomics Xenium data from human Medulloblastoma samples. The data was acuired in the course of a study performing a comparison of four imaging-based ST methods – RNAscope HiPlex, Molecular Cartography, MERFISH/Merscope, and Xenium – together with sequencing-based ST (Visium). These technologies were used to study cryosections of medulloblastoma with extensive nodularity (MBEN), a tumor chosen for its distinct microanatomical features. Our analysis reveals that automated imaging-based ST methods are well suited to delineating the intricate MBEN microanatomy, capturing cell-type-specific transcriptome profiles. We devise approaches to compare the sensitivity and specificity of the different methods together with their unique attributes to guide method selection based on the research aim. Furthermore, we demonstrate how reimaging of slides after the ST analysis can markedly improve cell segmentation accuracy and integrate additional transcript and protein readouts to expand the analytical possibilities and depth of insights. This study highlights key distinctions between various ST technologies and provides a set of parameters for evaluating their performance. Our findings aid in the informed choice of ST methods and delineate approaches for enhancing the resolution and breadth of spatial transcriptomic analyses, thereby contributing to advancing ST applications in solid tumor research.

spatialGE is a User-Friendly Web Application that Facilitates Spatial Transcriptomics Data Analysis

Project description:Spatial transcriptomics (ST) is a powerful tool for understanding tissue biology and disease mechanisms. However, the advanced data analysis and programming skills required can hinder researchers from realizing the full potential of ST. To address this, we developed spatialGE, a web application that simplifies the analysis of ST data. The application spatialGE provided a user-friendly interface that guides users without programming expertise through various analysis pipelines, including quality control, normalization, domain detection, phenotyping, and multiple spatial analyses. It also enabled comparative analysis among samples and supported various ST technologies. The utility of spatialGE was demonstrated through its application in studying the tumor microenvironment of two data sets: 10× Visium samples from a cohort of melanoma metastasis and NanoString CosMx fields of vision from a cohort of Merkel cell carcinoma samples. These results support the ability of spatialGE to identify spatial gene expression patterns that provide valuable insights into the tumor microenvironment and highlight its utility in democratizing ST data analysis for the wider scientific community.

Multimodal spatial transcriptomic characterization of mouse kidney injury and repair [Xenium]

Project description:Spatial transcriptomics (ST) technologies enable the mapping of gene expression to specific regions within tissues. However, current ST platforms present inherent trade-offs between resolution and throughput, which cannot be entirely addressed by a single technology. To unravel the spatiotemporal landscape of gene expression and cellular interactions during kidney injury and repair, we employed an integrated approach combining Xenium's high-resolution in situ sequencing with Visium's whole-transcriptome spatial profiling.

Mouse Skin Xenium In Situ Spatial Gene Expression

Project description:To investigate the effecs of commensal papillomavirus immunity on the homeostasis of highly mutated normal skin, spatial transcriptomics (Xenium, 10x Genomics, Pleasanton, CA) was performed on SKH-1 mouse back skin. The mice were treated with mouse papillomavirus (MmuPV1) or virus-like particles (VLP), followed by UV exposure for 25 weeks.

Distinct cellular and spatial niches within the inflamed synovium of childhood arthritis [xenium]

Project description:Precision use of targeted therapies is urgently needed to improve long-term clinical outcomes for children affected by inflammatory arthritis, known as Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis. Progress has been obstructed by a lack of understanding of the cellular basis of joint inflammation in children, given the difficulties in obtaining and studying synovial tissue itself. To this end, we combine single-cell RNA-sequencing, multiplexed immunofluorescence imaging and spatial transcriptomics to define the cellular and transcriptomic landscape of the synovium in children with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis. We identify spatial niches of resident and infiltrating cell populations that correlate with the degree of inflammation, and gene programs associated with arthritis severity. Combined with analyses of synovial fluid and peripheral blood from the same children, we distinguish differences in cellular composition, signalling pathways and transcriptional programs across anatomical compartments. Whilst we identify several pathogenic populations shared with adult-onset arthritis, our analyses highlight increased vascularity of the inflamed developing joint and TGFb-driven stromal subsets that upregulate expression of disease risk-associated genes. Overall, these findings illustrate the need for treatment algorithms informed by a tissue-based classification of arthritis. Slides were prepared, processed, imaged and underwent post-run staining according to Xenium (10X Genomics) protocols: “CG000580 Rev C”, “CG000582 Rev D”, “CG000584 Rev B” and “CG000613 Rev A”, according to manufacturer’s instructions. For gene detection, slides hybridized with probes from the predesigned Xenium Human Multi-Tissue and Cancer Gene Expression and hMulti_v1 design (chemistry v1: 10x Genomics), consisting of 377 genes was used.
