Project description:We have now developed an organoid-based model of gastric cancer from GAstric Neoplasia (GAN) mice, which express Wnt1 and the enzymes COX2 and microsomal prostaglandin E synthase 1 in the stomach. Both p53 knockout (GAN-p53KO) organoids and KRASG12V-expressing GAN-p53KO (GAN-KP) organoids were generated by genetic manipulation of GAN mouse–derived tumor (GAN-WT) organoids. To uncover the molecular mechanism underlying the intratumoral heterogeneity of GAN-KP tumors, we performed spatial transcriptomics analysis with the 10× Genomics Visium platform, which allows characterization of the spatial topography of gene expression.
Project description:To characterize the tumor microenvironment and elucidate mechanisms of immune evasion in malignant adrenal tumors, we performed spatial transcriptomics (Visium HD) on pathological specimens from adrenocortical adenoma (ACA) and pheochromocytoma mixed tumor. Using each cell’s spatial coordinates and gene expression profiles, we inferred tumor cell–immune cell interactions.
Project description:The spatial transcriptomic analysis of barley embryos in response to 75 µM ABA was investigated using Visium Spatial Transcriptomics (10×Genomics) technology. Embryo sections were collected from wild-type 'Sebastian' and a double mutant hvcbp20.ab/hvcbp80.b impaired in both subunits of the Cap-Binding Complex (CBC): CBP20 and CBP80 at 1 day after imbibition (DAI) under control and 75 µM ABA conditions. Cryosectioned tissues were stained, mounted on Visium slides, and processed for spatial gene expression profiling. Sequencing was performed on an Illumina NovaSeq 6000 platform (paired-end, 151 bp). The data were aligned to the barley reference genome (cv. MorexV3) and used to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) across six distinguished embryonic regions: coleoptile, cotyledon, mesocotyl, plumule, scutellum, and radicle. The dataset provides insights into the spatial regulation of ABA-responsive genes in embryos during barley seed germination.
Project description:To investigate spatial heterogeneities in the axolotl forebrain, a coronal section of it was obtained for spatial transcriptomics using Visium V1.
Project description:Using Visium HD spatial transcriptomics and immunostaining, we mapped skin compartment dynamics during DPCP-induced allergic contact dermatitis. Dermal white adipose tissue transitioned from metabolic homeostasis to immune activation and inflammatory remodeling, accompanied by sustained lipolysis. Concurrently, CD45⁺ immune cells accumulated in the lower dermis and dWAT. These findings identify dWAT as an immune-metabolic hub orchestrating inflammatory progression and highlight spatial transcriptomics as a powerful tool for dissecting skin niche regulation.
Project description:Identification of cell types in the interphase between muscle and tendon by Visium Spatial Transcriptomics of four human semitendinous muscle-tendon biopsies. Cell types identified by single nuclei RNA seq on similar tissue were localized in situ with the use of Spatial Transcriptomics.
Project description:One healthy mouse brain and one glioblastoma tumor derived in the RCAS/Nestin-Tv-a mouse model were processed using the 10x Genomics Visium HD Spatial Gene Expression chemistry.

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.
