Project description:The tongue is a unique muscular organ situated in the oral cavity where it is involved in taste sensation, mastication and articulation. As a barrier organ, which is constantly exposed to environmental pathogens,the tongue isexpected to host animmune cell network ensuringlocal immune defence. However, the composition and the transcriptional landscape of the tongue immune system are currently not completely defined. Here we characterised the tissue-resident immune compartment of the murine tongue during development, health anddisease, combining single cell RNA-sequencing with in situ immunophenotyping. We identified distinct local immune cell populations and described two specific subsets of tongue-resident macrophages occupying discrete anatomical niches. Cx3cr1+macrophages were located specifically in the highly innervated lamina propria beneath the tongue epidermis and at times in close proximity to fungiform papillae.Folr2+ macrophages were detected in deeper muscular tissue. The two macrophage subsets originate from a common proliferative precursor during early postnatal development and responded differently to systemic LPSin vivo. Our description of the under-investigated tongue immune system sets a starting point to facilitate research on tongue immune-physiology and pathology including cancer and taste disorders.

Project description:About 50% of colorectal cancer patients develop liver metastases. Patients with metastatic colorectal cancer have 5-year survival rates below 20% despite new therapeutic regimens. Tumor heterogeneity has been linked with poor clinical outcome, but was so far mainly studied via bulk genomic analyses. In this study we performed spatial proteomics via MALDI mass spectrometry imaging on six patient matched CRC primary tumor and liver metastases to characterize interpatient, intertumor and intratumor hetereogeneity. We found several peptide features that were enriched in vital tumor areas of primary tumors and liver metastasis and tentatively derived from tumor cell specific proteins such as annexin A4 and prelamin A/C. Liver metastases of colorectal cancer showed higher heterogeneity between patients than primary tumors while within patients both entities show similar intratumor heterogeneity sometimes organized in zonal pattern. Together our findings give new insights into the spatial proteomic heterogeneity of primary CRC and patient matched liver metastases.

Project description:Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is among the most common malignancies, but little is known about the spatial intratumor heterogeneity (ITH) and the temporal clonal evolutionary processes in this cancer. Interestingly, the epigenetic profiling also showed strong evidence of spatial ITH, and the phyloepigenetic trees were extremely similar with the phylogenetic ones, indicating the interplay and co-dependency of genetic and epigenetic alterations in ESCC. We found that several genes were both mutated and hypermethylated at their promoters, such as ASXL1 and EPHA7. Our integrated investigations of the spatial ITH and the temporal clonal evolution might provide insights into developing biomarkers for early diagnosis of ESCC, as well as personalized therapeutic targets for treating this malignancy. DNA methylation profiles of 12 tumor regions and 2 matched normal esophageal epithelial tissues from three M-WES-examined ESCC cases (ESCC01, ESCC03 and ESCC05) were performed using Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation450K platform (Illumina, San Diego, CA) at the Epigenome Center of University of Southern California.

Project description:Tissue and organ function has been conventionally understood in terms of the interactions among discrete and homogeneous cell types. This approach has proven difficult in neuroscience due to the marked diversity across different neuron classes, but may also be further hampered by prominent within-class variability. Here, we considered a well-defined, canonical neuronal population â hippocampal CA1 pyramidal cells â and systematically examined the extent and spatial rules of transcriptional heterogeneity. Using next-generation RNA sequencing, we identified striking variability in CA1 PCs, such that the differences along the dorsal-ventral axis rivaled differences across distinct pyramidal neuron classes. This variability emerged from a spectrum of continuous expression gradients, producing a profile consistent with a multifarious continuum of cells. This work reveals an unexpected amount of variability within a canonical and narrowly defined neuronal population and suggests that continuous, within-class heterogeneity may be an important feature of neural circuits. Hippocampal RNA profiles were generated by deep sequencing on Illumina HiSeq 2500, with three biological replicates per population

Project description:A whole-genome/exome sequencing (WGS/WES) characterization of the spatial heterogeneity found in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) at diagnosis. Fifteen synchronous peripheral blood and lymph node samples were analyzed by WGS (n=2) or WES (n=13). Subtle differences in the global architecture of the tumor at peripheral blood and lymph node were observed only in a fraction of patients. Spatial heterogeneity was not found among the well-established CLL driver alterations.

Project description:High-grade gliomas are aggressive primary brain cancers with poor response to standard regimens, driven by immense heterogeneity. In isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) wild-type high-grade glioma (glioblastoma, GBM), increased intra-tumoral heterogeneity is associated with more aggressive disease. Recently, spatial technologies have emerged to dissect this complex heterogeneity within the tumor ecosystem by preserving cellular organization in situ. Here, we construct a high- resolution molecular landscape of GBM and IDH-mutant high-grade glioma patient samples to investigate the cellular subtypes and spatial communities that compose high-grade glioma using digital spatial profiling and spatial molecular imaging. This uncovered striking diversity of the tumor and immune microenvironment, that is embodied by the heterogeneity of the inferred copy- number alterations in the tumor. Reconstructing the tumor architecture revealed brain-intrinsic niches, composed of tumor cells reflecting brain cell types and microglia; and brain-extrinsic niches, populated by mesenchymal tumor cells and monocytes. We further reveal that cellular communication in these niches is underpinned by specific ligand-receptor pairs. This primary study reveals high levels of intra-tumoral heterogeneity in high-grade gliomas, associated with a diverse immune landscape within spatially localized regions.
