Project description:Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second-deadliest cancer in the world, yet a deeper understanding of spatial patterns of gene expression in the tumor microenvironment (TME) remains elusive. Here, we introduce the Visium HD platform (10x Genomics) and use it to investigate human CRC and normal adjacent mucosal tissues from formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) samples. The first assay available on Visium HD is a probe-based spatial transcriptomics workflow that was developed to enable whole transcriptome single cell scale analysis. We demonstrate highly refined unsupervised spatial clustering in Visium HD data that aligns with the hallmarks of colon tissue morphology and is notably improved over earlier Visium assays. Using serial sections from the same FFPE blocks we generate a single cell atlas of our samples, then we integrate the data to comprehensively characterize the immune cell types present in the TME, specifically at the tumor periphery. We observed enrichment of two pro-tumor macrophage subpopulations with differential gene expression profiles that were localized within distinct tumor regions. Further characterization of the T cells present in one of the samples revealed a clonal expansion that we were able to localize in the tissue using in situ gene expression analysis. In situ analysis also allowed us to perform in-depth characterization of the microenvironment of the clonally expanded T cell population and we identified a third macrophage subpopulation with gene expression profiles consistent with an anti-tumor response. Our study provides a comprehensive map of the cellular composition of the CRC TME and identifies phenotypically and spatially distinct immune cell populations within it. We show that the single cell-scale resolution afforded by Visium HD and the whole transcriptome nature of the assay allows investigations into cellular function and interaction at the tumor periphery in FFPE tissues, which has not been previously possible.

Project description:Fetal lung samples at 12–20 post conception week (pcw) from the HDBR, up to 0.5cm3 in size, were embedded in OCT and flash-frozen in dry-ice cooled isopentane. Twelve-micron cryosections were cut onto Visium slides, haematoxylin and eosin stained and imaged at 20X magnification on a Hamamatsu Nanozoomer 2.0 HT Brightfield. These were then further processed according to the 10X Genomics Visium protocol, using a permeabilization time of 18 min for 12–17 pcw samples and 24 min for 19 pcw and older samples. Images were exported as tiled tiffs for analysis. Dual-indexed libraries were prepared as in the 10X Genomics protocol, pooled at 2.25 nM and sequenced in 4 samples per Illumina Novaseq SP flow cell with read lengths of 28 bp for R1, 10 bp for i7 index, 10 bp for i5 index, 90 bp for R2.

Project description:We have perfomed Visium HD spatial transcriptomics on archival FFPE kidney biopsies from patients with different manifistations of nephrotic syndrome, i.e., steriod sensitive, frequent relapsing and/or steroid dependent, and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. Using a pre-trained deep learning model from StarDist to segment nuclei, we reconstructed single-nucleus level spatial trancriptomic datasets through custom binning of subcellular capture areas. We integrated the datasets from the different patients and indentified conserved cell types. Moreover, we identified patient specific transcriptomic differences in the podocyte cell population. This article demonstrates the usefullness of this approach to future studies of pathophysilogical mechanisms in idiopathic nephrotic syndrome.
