Spatial molecular profiling: platforms, applications and analysis tools

Abstract: Molecular profiling technologies, such as genome sequencing and proteomics, have transformed biomedical research, but most such technologies require tissue dissociation, which leads to loss of tissue morphology and spatial information. Recent developments in spatial molecular profiling technologies have enabled the comprehensive molecular characterization of cells while keeping their spatial and morphological contexts intact. Molecular profiling data generate deep characterizations of the genetic, transcriptio… Show more

“…As strategies for multiplexed feature detection improve, commensurate advances in computational power will be required to process and interpret the results. [ 179,180 ] Multiplexed molecular validation techniques must also be developed for sequencing techniques that search for cell–cell interactions across entire tissues or organisms. For example, while techniques like ligand–receptor mapping can identify putative cell–cell interactions by the proportionate expression of ligand–receptor pairs, inferred results must be validated with more stringent molecular techniques that demonstrate the physical colocalization of each pair.…”

“…Within a slide, there is spatial variation in marker abundance, such that regions of interest (ROI) that are closer together may exhibit similar gene/protein expression 5,8,16 . Spatial autocorrelation is typically assessed using a Gaussian Process (GP), a mixed-effects model with a parameterized kernel.…”

“…Although multiplexed immunohistochemistry and laser capture microdissection approaches once served as popular methods for assessing spatially resolved omics information, these approaches are largely intractable for high throughput analysis because quantitative analysis is hindered by significant tissue distortion from chemical restaining processes, insufficient multiplexing, and prohibitive costs. New spatial omics technologies can multiplex far more markers through targeted cleavage of oligonucleotide tags [2][3][4][5][6][7][8] . For instance, the Nanostring GeoMX Digital Spatial Profiler (DSP) first utilizes multiple immunofluorescent (IF) antibody stains to highlight various cellular lineages, then uses UV-light to cleave attached oligos for quantification via the nCounter instrument or next-generation sequencing (NGS) 9,10 .…”
