Abstract

Single-cell RNA sequencing combined with spatial information on landmark genes enables reconstruction of spatially-resolved tissue cell atlases. However, such approaches are challenging for rare cell types, since their mRNA contents are diluted in the spatial transcriptomics bulk measurements used for landmark gene detection. In the small intestine, enterocytes, the most common cell type, exhibit zonated expression programs along the crypt-villus axis, but zonation patterns of rare cell types such as goblet and tuft cells remain uncharacterized. Here, we present ClumpSeq, an approach for sequencing small clumps of attached cells. By inferring the crypt-villus location of each clump from enterocyte landmark genes, we establish spatial atlases for all epithelial cell types in the small intestine. We identify elevated expression of immune-modulatory genes in villus tip goblet and tuft cells and heterogeneous migration patterns of enteroendocrine cells. ClumpSeq can be applied for reconstructing spatial atlases of rare cell types in other tissues and tumors.

摘要

单细胞 RNA 测序结合标志性基因的空间信息可实现对组织细胞图谱的空间重建。然而,对于罕见细胞类型来说,这种方法具有挑战性,因为它们的 mRNA 含量在用于检测标志性基因的空间转录组学批量测量中被稀释。在小肠中,肠细胞是最常见的细胞类型,沿隐窝-绒毛轴表现出分区表达模式,但罕见细胞类型(如杯状细胞和微绒毛细胞)的分区模式仍未被描述。在这里,我们提出了 ClumpSeq,这是一种对附着细胞小簇进行测序的方法。通过从肠细胞标志性基因推断每个小簇的隐窝-绒毛位置,我们建立了小肠所有上皮细胞类型的空间图谱。我们发现绒毛顶端杯状细胞和微绒毛细胞中免疫调节基因的表达升高,以及肠内分泌细胞的异质迁移模式。ClumpSeq 可用于重建其他组织和肿瘤中罕见细胞类型的空间图谱。
