Recently developed approaches for highly multiplexed imaging have revealed complex patterns of cellular positioning and cell-cell interactions with important roles in both cellular- and tissue-level physiology. However, tools to quantitatively study cellular patterning and tissue architecture are currently lacking. Here, we develop a spatial analysis toolbox, the histo-cytometric multidimensional analysis pipeline (CytoMAP), which incorporates data clustering, positional correlation, dimensionality reduction, and 2D/3D region reconstruction to identify localized cellular networks and reveal features of tissue organization. We apply CytoMAP to study the microanatomy of innate immune subsets in murine lymph nodes (LNs) and reveal mutually exclusive segregation of migratory dendritic cells (DCs), regionalized compartmentalization of SIRPα dermal DCs, and preferential association of resident DCs with select LN vasculature. The findings provide insights into the organization of myeloid cells in LNs and demonstrate that CytoMAP is a comprehensive analytics toolbox for revealing features of tissue organization in imaging datasets.
最近开发的高通量成像方法揭示了细胞定位和细胞间相互作用的复杂模式,这些模式在细胞和组织水平的生理学中都具有重要作用。然而,目前缺乏定量研究细胞模式和组织架构的工具。在这里,我们开发了一个空间分析工具包,即组织细胞多维分析管道(CytoMAP),它结合了数据聚类、位置相关性、降维和 2D/3D 区域重建,以识别局部细胞网络并揭示组织组织特征。我们应用 CytoMAP 来研究小鼠淋巴结(LNs)中固有免疫亚群的微观解剖结构,揭示了迁移树突状细胞(DCs)的互斥性分离、SIRPα 皮肤 DCs 的区域化区室化以及驻留 DCs 与特定 LN 脉管系统的优先关联。这些发现为 LNs 中髓样细胞的组织提供了深入的了解,并证明 CytoMAP 是一个用于揭示成像数据集中组织组织特征的综合分析工具包。
