Background: The search of single nucleotide variants that might have the capacity to alter genetic information and influence in regular cellular pathways, enhancing expansion, mitosis and evasion capacity to neoplasm cells, is central in understanding the molecular nature of distinct cellular growth abnormalities and is critical because it might expose new possibilities for therapeutic targets. The expression of NDRG1 protein, encoded by NDRG1 gene, has already been correlated with tumor progression and evasion, but information on different types of neoplasm is still contentious. Objective: To explore probable correlations of susceptibleness, progression and clinical characteristics between NDRG1 gene polymorphisms (SNPs) and patients that developed thyroid tumors. Methods: SNPs were obtained from the NCBI dbSNP. The encoded protein primary sequences were got from the UniProt database. We employed the three FASTA primary sequences to analyze the amino acid changes. The bioinformatics tools used were: PredictSNP1.0 (which encompasses: PANTHER, SNAP, PolyPhen-1, PhD-SNP, nsSNPAnalyze, SIFT, PredictSNP, PolyPhen-2, MAPP,); I-Mutant2.0; MUpro; PROVEAN; Haploview and SNPs3D). Results: The NCB database reports 319 missense SNPs in the NDRG1 gene. The SIFT tool predicted that 51 nsSNPs of 109 (which means 46.78%) were deleterious; the SNAP tool predicted nearly 30%; PolyPhen-2, 53 (48.62%); 52 (47.70%) derived from PhD-SNP; PolyPhen-1 indicated 38 nsSNPs (approximately 35%); and MAPP showed 47 (which is 43%). Finally, the PredictSNP toll contemplated 13 (approximately 12%) nsSNPs deleterious by all integrated tools, including rs201348291 and rs15132213, whose scores were the most significant, thus indicating a higher possibility that these SNPs are correlated and influence the pathophysiology of thyroid neoplasm. Conclusions: We demonstrated that NDRG1 rs201348291 and rs151322132 may be involved in thyroid cancer emergence and deserve further validation and evaluation of their clinical applicability in determining the risk of thyroid nodules malignancy and thyroid cancer prognostic.
背景:寻找可能有能力改变遗传信息和影响常规细胞途径、增强肿瘤细胞扩张、有丝分裂和逃避能力的单核苷酸变异,是理解不同细胞生长异常的分子本质的核心,也是至关重要的,因为它可能为治疗靶点提供新的可能性。由NDRG1基因编码的NDRG1蛋白的表达已经与肿瘤的进展和逃避相关,但关于不同类型肿瘤的信息仍然存在争议。目的:探讨NDRG1基因多态性(SNPs)与甲状腺肿瘤患者的易感性、进展及临床特征的可能相关性。方法:从NCBI dbSNP中提取snp。编码的蛋白一级序列从UniProt数据库中获取。我们使用三个FASTA初级序列分析氨基酸变化。使用的生物信息学工具有:PredictSNP1.0(包括:PANTHER、SNAP、polyphen1、PhD-SNP、nsSNPAnalyze、SIFT、PredictSNP、polyphen2、MAPP、);I-Mutant2.0;MUpro;PROVEAN;Haploview和SNPs3D)。结果:NCB数据库报告了NDRG1基因的319个错义snp。SIFT工具预测109个nsSNPs中有51个是有害的(46.78%);SNAP工具预测近30%;polyphen2, 53 (48.62%);52个(47.70%)来自PhD-SNP;polyphen1检测到38个nssnp(约35%);MAPP显示47(43%)。最后,PredictSNP toll通过所有综合工具预测了13个(约12%)有害的nssnp,包括rs201348291和rs15132213,其评分最显著,因此表明这些snp更有可能相关并影响甲状腺肿瘤的病理生理。结论:我们证明NDRG1 rs201348291和rs151322132可能参与甲状腺癌的发生,值得进一步验证和评估其在确定甲状腺结节恶性风险和甲状腺癌预后方面的临床适用性。

Approximately 450,000 cases of Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma are annually diagnosed worldwide, resulting in ~240,000 deaths. An augmented understanding of the common mechanisms of pathology among larger numbers of B-cell Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (BCNHL) patients is sorely needed. We consequently performed a large joint secondary transcriptomic analysis of the available BCNHL RNA-sequencing projects from GEO, consisting of 322 relevant samples across ten distinct public studies, to find common underlying mechanisms and biomarkers across multiple BCNHL subtypes and patient subpopulations; limitations may include lack of diversity in certain ethnicities and age groups and limited clinical subtype diversity due to sample availability. We found ~10,400 significant differentially expressed genes (FDR-adjusted p-value < 0.05) and 33 significantly modulated pathways (Bonferroni-adjusted p-value < 0.05) when comparing BCNHL samples to non-diseased B-cell samples. Our findings included a significant class of proteoglycans not previously associated with lymphomas as well as significant modulation of genes that code for extracellular matrix-associated proteins. Our drug repurposing analysis predicted new candidates for repurposed drugs including ocriplasmin and collagenase. We also used a machine learning approach to identify robust BCNHL biomarkers that include YES1, FERMT2, and FAM98B, which have not previously been associated with BCNHL in the literature, but together provide ~99.9% combined specificity and sensitivity for differentiating lymphoma cells from healthy B-cells based on measurement of transcript expression levels in B-cells. This analysis supports past findings and validates existing knowledge while providing novel insights into the inner workings and mechanisms of transformed B-cell lymphomas that could give rise to improved diagnostics and/or therapeutics.

全世界每年诊断出约 450,000 例非霍奇金淋巴瘤,导致约 240,000 人死亡。我们亟需进一步了解更多 B 细胞非霍奇金淋巴瘤(BCNHL)患者的共同病理机制。因此,我们对GEO中现有的BCNHL RNA测序项目进行了大规模的联合二次转录组分析,其中包括十项不同的公开研究中的322个相关样本,目的是在多种BCNHL亚型和患者亚群中寻找共同的潜在机制和生物标志物;局限性可能包括某些种族和年龄组缺乏多样性,以及由于样本可用性而导致临床亚型多样性有限。在将 BCNHL 样本与未患病的 B 细胞样本进行比较时,我们发现了约 10,400 个显著差异表达的基因(经 FDR 调整的 p 值小于 0.05)和 33 个显著调节的通路(经 Bonferroni-adjusted 调整的 p 值小于 0.05)。我们的发现包括一类以前与淋巴瘤无关的重要蛋白多糖,以及编码细胞外基质相关蛋白的基因的重大调控。我们的药物再利用分析预测了新的候选再利用药物,包括奥克立普酶和胶原酶。我们还使用机器学习方法确定了稳健的 BCNHL 生物标记物,其中包括 YES1、FERMT2 和 FAM98B,这些标记物以前在文献中与 BCNHL 无关,但根据 B 细胞中转录物表达水平的测量,它们在区分淋巴瘤细胞和健康 B 细胞方面具有约 99.9% 的综合特异性和敏感性。这项分析支持了过去的研究结果,验证了现有的知识,同时为了解转化B细胞淋巴瘤的内部运作和机制提供了新的视角,有助于改进诊断和/或治疗方法。

Evaluation of Biopharmaceutical Properties of Chloramphenicol Derivatives and their Complexes. Abstract Context and The use of chloramphenicol (CAM) has been reduced due to the side effects associated with its use (Bone marrow depression, neurotoxicity) and the increase in resistance to CAM that some microbes develop. To overcome these difficulties, two CAM derivatives, L1 and L2, and their respective iron complexes were synthesized to evaluate in silico their biopharmaceutical properties. The substrate (CAM), as well as the basic reagents (AAP and AASC) were purified from commercial pharmaceuticals. The CAM derivatives (L1 and L2) and also their iron complexes (C1, C2, and C3) were synthesized and showed maximum absorbance at 335 nm for CAM, 325 nm for L1, 395 nm for L2, at 330 nm for C1, at 325 nm for C2, and at 335 nm for C3. The in silico simulations performed with the above-mentioned tools showed that all the ligands (CAM, L1, and L2) present good similarities with the drugs, a good bioavailability because they were compliant with the Lipinski rule. The complexes, although bioavailable, did not conform to Lipinski's rule. CAM showed efficacy in enzymatic inhibition. However, L1 and L2 ligands perform better in ion channel modulation, kinase, and protease inhibition. This suggests that the ligands have better therapeutic performance and may well address several clinical needs. The C3 complex was the compound that showed better bioavailability and high bioactivity thus it was the most bioactive. L1, L2, and C3 could therefore be potential and promising candidates for CAM substitution.

These observations would thus be evidence for the formation of L1 and L2 compounds. In addition, the UV-Vis spectra of the C1, C2, and C3 complexes compared to the spectra of their respective ligands (L1, L2, and CAM) showed different types of effects, in particular the hyperchromatic effect in the case of the C1 and C3 complexes justified by the increase of the absorption maximum and the hypsochromatic effect in the case of C2 (from 395 nm for L2 to 315 nm for C2). These observations could well indicate the formation of C1, C2, and C3 complexes.
氯霉素衍生物及其配合物的生物制药性能评价。背景和氯霉素(CAM)的使用已经减少,因为其使用相关的副作用(骨髓抑制,神经毒性)和一些微生物对CAM的耐药性增加。为了克服这些困难,我们合成了两个CAM衍生物L1和L2,以及它们各自的铁配合物,并在硅上评价了它们的生物制药性能。底物(CAM)和基础试剂(AAP和AASC)从商业药品中纯化。CAM衍生物(L1和L2)及其铁配合物(C1、C2和C3)的最大吸光度为335 nm, L1为325 nm, L2为395 nm, C1为330 nm, C2为325 nm, C3为335 nm。使用上述工具进行的计算机模拟表明,所有配体(CAM, L1和L2)与药物具有良好的相似性,由于它们符合Lipinski规则,因此具有良好的生物利用度。这些复合物虽然具有生物可利用性,但并不符合利平斯基规则。CAM有明显的酶抑制作用。然而,L1和L2配体在离子通道调节、激酶和蛋白酶抑制方面表现更好。这表明该配体具有更好的治疗性能,并可能很好地满足几种临床需求。其中C3配合物生物利用度好,生物活性高,生物活性最高。因此,L1, L2和C3可能是CAM替代的潜在和有希望的候选者。渗透率;hERG(人类以太相关基因);GPCR: G蛋白偶联受体;NRL:核受体配体;ICM:离子通道调制;KI:激酶抑制;PI:蛋白酶抑制;EI:酶活性抑制;MLCT:金属到配体的电荷转移AAP:对乙酰氨基酚;AASC:乙酰水杨酸;CAM:氯霉素;C1: CAM-O-AAP的铁配合物(L1);C2: CAM-O-AASC铁配合物(L2);C3: CAM铁配合物;FeCAM: CAM铁络合物;FeCAM-O-AAP: CAM-O-AAP铁配合物;FeCAM-O-AASC: CAM-O-AASC铁配合物;L1: 2-(4-乙酰氨基苯氧基)-2-氯-n -[1,3-二羟基-1-(4-硝基苯基)丙烷-2-基]"CAM-O-AAP;2-(2-乙酰氧基苯甲酰氧基)-2-氯-n -[1,3-二羟基-1-(4-硝基苯基)丙烷-2-基]L2配体(从CAM的335 nm到L2的395 nm)。因此,这些观察结果将成为L1和L2化合物形成的证据。此外,C1、C2和C3配合物的紫外-可见光谱与其各自配体(L1、L2和CAM)的光谱相比显示出不同类型的效应,特别是C1和C3配合物的高色效应可以通过吸收最大值的增加和C2的降色效应(从L2的395 nm增加到C2的315 nm)来证明。这些观察结果可以很好地表明C1、C2和C3复合物的形成。

In recent years, transcriptomic databases have become one of the main sources for protein discovery. In our studies of nervous system and digestive tract regeneration in echinoderms, we have identified several transcripts that have attracted our attention. One of these molecules corresponds to a previously unidentified transcript (Orpin) from the sea cucumber Holothuria glaberrima that appeared to be upregulated during intestinal regeneration. We have now identified a second highly similar sequence and analyzed the predicted proteins using bioinformatics tools. Both sequences have EF-hand motifs characteristic of calcium-binding proteins (CaBPs) and N-terminal signal peptides. Sequence comparison analyses such as multiple sequence alignments and phylogenetic analyses only showed significant similarity to sequences from other echinoderms or from hemichordates. Semi-quantitative RT-PCR analyses revealed that transcripts from these sequences are expressed in various tissues including muscle, haemal system, gonads, and mesentery. However, contrary to previous reports, there was no significant differential expression in regenerating tissues. Nonetheless, the identification of unique features in the predicted proteins and their presence in the holothurian draft genome suggest that these might comprise a novel subfamily of EF-hand containing proteins specific to the Ambulacraria clade.

近年来,转录组数据库已成为蛋白质发现的主要来源之一。在对棘皮动物神经系统和消化道再生的研究中,我们发现了几个引起我们注意的转录本。其中一个分子对应于海参Holothuria glaberrima中一个以前未发现的转录本(Orpin),该转录本似乎在肠道再生过程中上调。我们现在又发现了第二个高度相似的序列,并使用生物信息学工具分析了预测的蛋白质。这两个序列都具有钙结合蛋白(CaBPs)特有的 EF-手基序和 N 端信号肽。序列比较分析(如多序列比对和系统发生学分析)只显示了与其他棘皮动物或半脊索动物序列的显著相似性。半定量 RT-PCR 分析显示,这些序列的转录本在肌肉、血液系统、性腺和肠系膜等多种组织中表达。然而,与之前的报道相反,在再生组织中没有明显的差异表达。尽管如此,这些预测蛋白质的独特特征的鉴定以及它们在全鸟类基因组草案中的存在表明,这些蛋白质可能构成了一个新的含 EF-手的蛋白质亚家族,为 Ambulacraria 支系所特有。

Genomic cis regulatory elements support the gene transcriptional landscape which fine tune spatiotemporal gene expression via interaction with different transcription factors and co modulators during development. These regulatory elements are poorly conserved, highly heterogenous with limited understanding of their role in gene expression. Here we use a well-known human tumor suppressor gene, Breast Cancer Type 1 ( BRCA1 ) and UCSC human genome browser database to report the in-silico putative cis regulatory enhancer element and its features. We report a 2kb double elite enhancer, GH17J043079 located within intron 12 of the BRCA1 gene. The enhancer interacts with NBR1 , NBR2 , TMEM106A and RPL27 and VAT1 gene promoters.

Purpose: Although deep learning (DL) models have shown increasing ability to accurately classify diagnostic images in oncology, significantly large amounts of well-curated data are often needed to match human level performance. Given the relative paucity of imaging datasets for less prevalent cancer types, there is an increasing need for methods which can improve the performance of deep learning models trained using limited diagnostic images. Deep metric learning (DML) is a potential method which can improve accuracy in deep learning models trained on limited datasets. Leveraging a triplet-loss function, DML exponentially increases training data compared to a traditional DL model. In this study, we investigated the utility of DML to improve the accuracy of DL models trained to classify cancerous lesions found on screening mammograms. Methods: Using a dataset of 2620 lesions found on routine screening mammogram, we trained both a traditional DL and DML models to classify suspicious lesions as cancerous or benign. The VGG16 architecture was used as the basis for the DL and DML models. Model performance was compared by calculating model accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity on a blinded test set of 378 lesions. In addition to individual model performance, we also measured agreement accuracy when both the DL and DML models were combined. Sub-analyses were conducted to identify phenotypes which were best suited for each model type. Both models underwent hyperparameters optimization to identify ideal batch size, learning rate, and regularization to prevent overfitting. Results: We found that the combination of the traditional DL model with DML model resulted in the highest overall accuracy (78.7%) representing a 7.1% improvement compared to the traditional DL model (p Conclusion: Our study suggests that addition of DML models with traditional DL models can improve diagnostic image classification performance in cancer. Our results suggest DML models may provide increased specificity and help with classification of unique populations often misclassified by traditional DL models. Further studied investigating the utility of DML on other cancer imaging tasks are necessary to successfully build more robust DL models in cancer imaging.

目的:尽管深度学习(DL)模型在肿瘤学诊断图像的准确分类方面显示出越来越强的能力,但通常需要大量精心整理的数据来匹配人类水平的表现。鉴于不太常见的癌症类型的成像数据集相对缺乏,人们越来越需要能够提高使用有限诊断图像训练的深度学习模型性能的方法。深度度量学习(Deep metric learning, DML)是一种有潜力提高有限数据集深度学习模型准确性的方法。利用三重损失函数,与传统的深度学习模型相比,DML以指数方式增加训练数据。在这项研究中,我们研究了DML在提高DL模型的准确性方面的效用,这些模型经过训练后可以对乳房x光筛查中发现的癌症病变进行分类。方法:使用常规乳房x线筛查发现的2620个病变数据集,我们训练了传统的DL和DML模型,将可疑病变分类为癌性或良性。使用VGG16体系结构作为DL和DML模型的基础。通过在378个病变的盲法测试集上计算模型的准确性、敏感性和特异性来比较模型的性能。除了单个模型的性能,我们还测量了当DL和DML模型结合使用时的一致性准确性。进行亚分析以确定最适合每种模型类型的表型。两个模型都进行了超参数优化,以确定理想的批大小、学习率和正则化,以防止过拟合。结果:我们发现,与传统DL模型相比,传统DL模型与DML模型的结合获得了最高的总体准确率(78.7%),比传统DL模型提高了7.1% (p)。结论:我们的研究表明,DML模型与传统DL模型的结合可以提高癌症诊断图像分类性能。我们的研究结果表明,DML模型可以提供更高的特异性,并有助于对经常被传统DL模型错误分类的独特人群进行分类。进一步研究DML在其他癌症成像任务中的应用对于成功构建更健壮的癌症成像DL模型是必要的。引文格式:Justin Du, Sachin Umrao, Enoch Chang, Marina Joel, Aidan Gilson, Guneet Janda, Rachel Choi, Yongfeng Hui, Sanjay Aneja。深度度量学习在乳房x线摄影图像上乳腺癌识别中的应用[摘要]。见:美国癌症研究协会2021年年会论文集;2021年4月10日至15日和5月17日至21日。费城(PA): AACR;癌症杂志,2021;81(13 -增刊):184。

Abstract SY01-03: The gold standard cancer diagnosis: Studies of physician variability, interpretive behavior, and the impact of AI 摘要:癌症诊断的金标准:医生变异性、解释行为和人工智能影响的研究

The current gold standard for cancer diagnoses is based on pathologists9 visual inspection of tissue sections. However, our research has found concerning levels of inter-observer and intra-observer variability among pathologists. Our prior work in melanoma shows that current diagnoses within the disease spectrum from benign nevi to melanoma in situ to invasive melanoma are neither reproducible nor accurate, yielding estimates that ~17% of all diagnoses for melanocytic lesions in the US are incorrect (Elmore et al. BMJ 2017). A study conducted by our team in breast pathology quantified the magnitude of diagnostic agreement among pathologists compared with a gold standard consensus reference: among DCIS cases, 16% of interpretations were discordant, while among atypia cases 52% of interpretations were discordant (Elmore et al. JAMA 2015). While computer systems, such as computer aided detection (CAD) tools, have been widely integrated into clinical practice to aid the interpretative and diagnostic process, our work has also found that the use of CAD can be associated with increases in potential harms, including higher recall and biopsy rates for screening mammography (Fenton et al. NEJM 2007). Given the critical need to improve the quality of our current diagnostic and prognostic capabilities, our multidisciplinary research team is conducting several studies that involve the development and integration of AI/machine learning and eye-tracking across clinical contexts. The challenges and implications associated with “gold standard” definitions for diagnoses, with data sharing infrastructure and with the eventual impact of AI on the human interface will be discussed.

目前癌症诊断的金标准是基于病理学家对组织切片的目视检查。然而,我们的研究发现病理学家之间存在观察者之间和观察者内部的差异。我们之前在黑色素瘤方面的工作表明,目前从良性黑色素瘤到原位黑色素瘤到侵袭性黑色素瘤的疾病谱系中的诊断既不可重复也不准确,估计在美国约有17%的黑色素细胞病变诊断是不正确的(Elmore等人)。BMJ 2017)。我们团队在乳腺病理学方面进行的一项研究量化了病理学家与金标准共识参考的诊断一致性程度:在DCIS病例中,16%的解释不一致,而在非典型病例中,52%的解释不一致(Elmore等人)。《美国医学会杂志》2015年)。虽然计算机系统,如计算机辅助检测(CAD)工具,已经广泛地整合到临床实践中,以帮助解释和诊断过程,但我们的工作也发现,CAD的使用可能与潜在危害的增加有关,包括筛查乳房x光检查的更高召回率和活检率(Fenton等)。NEJM 2007)。鉴于迫切需要提高我们当前诊断和预后能力的质量,我们的多学科研究团队正在开展几项研究,涉及在临床环境中开发和整合人工智能/机器学习和眼动追踪。将讨论与诊断的“黄金标准”定义、数据共享基础设施以及人工智能对人机界面的最终影响相关的挑战和影响。引用格式:Joann Elmore。癌症诊断的金标准:医生变异性、解释行为和人工智能影响的研究[摘要]。见:美国癌症研究协会2021年年会论文集;2021年4月10日至15日和5月17日至21日。费城(PA): AACR;癌症杂志,2021;81(13 -增刊):SY01-03。

Spatial heterogeneity of diverse cellular components in the tumor microenvironment (TME) plays a critical role in the reprogramming of tumor initiation, growth, invasion, metastasis, and response to therapies. Systematic knowledge of TME spatial organization with regards to immune infiltration and tumor resource distribution is of high clinical significance. High throughput single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) has become a revolutionary approach for studying cell composition and the development of TME. However, the spatial information of cells is lost as the tissue must be dissociated before the sequencing is performed. While various spatial techniques are emerging, their applicability is still rather limited. To address this challenge computationally, we develop a novel de novo framework to reconstruct TME spatial organization from scRNA-seq data. We hypothesized that cell spatial organization in a microenvironment is mainly determined by cell identity and interactions between different cells. In particular, the spatial organization of structural cells and immune cells follow different mechanisms. Neighboring structural cells, which share similar whole transcriptome profiles, form a scaffold of the TME; immune cells, whose activities are influenced by the structural cells, migrate in the scaffold to interact with structural cells and exert their functions. The algorithm models the scaffold of structural cells using adaptive nearest neighbor graph by taking the cell density estimation into the consideration, where the nearest neighbor graph was further augmented by inserting immune cells into the appropriate locations of the scaffold according to the LR similarities. To reconstruct 3D spatial organization while preserving the cell topology represented by the graph, we employed a graph embedding strategy to minimize the discrepancy between the graph topology and the embedded 3D space. We evaluated the framework on two diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas (DIPG) samples from a mouse model with coupled scRNA-seq and spatial transcriptome (ST, 10x Visium platform) data. The predicted spatial organization successfully separates the major cell types. The T-cell infiltrated tumor, verified by the T-cell spatial spots of the ST image, is well recapitulated. We deconvoluted the ST data by integrating the scRNA-seq data using SPOTlight. The neighborhood enrichment distributions of predicted spatial organization and the spot deconvoluted ST data show high consistency as measured by Kullback-Leibler divergence. We found heterogeneous neighborhood composition of CD8+ T-cells, indicating diverse clonality and functions with respect to their locations in the TME.

肿瘤微环境(tumor microenvironment, TME)中不同细胞组分的空间异质性在肿瘤发生、生长、侵袭、转移和治疗反应的重编程中起着至关重要的作用。系统了解TME的空间组织与免疫浸润和肿瘤资源分布的关系具有重要的临床意义。高通量单细胞RNA测序(scRNA-seq)已成为研究细胞组成和TME发展的革命性方法。然而,细胞的空间信息丢失,因为组织必须在测序之前解离。虽然各种空间技术不断涌现,但其适用性仍然相当有限。为了在计算上解决这一挑战,我们开发了一个新的从头框架,从scRNA-seq数据中重建TME空间组织。我们假设微环境中的细胞空间组织主要由细胞身份和不同细胞之间的相互作用决定。特别是结构细胞和免疫细胞的空间组织遵循不同的机制。邻近的结构细胞,具有相似的整个转录组谱,形成TME的支架;免疫细胞的活动受到结构细胞的影响,在支架内迁移,与结构细胞相互作用,发挥其功能。该算法在考虑细胞密度估计的基础上,采用自适应最近邻图对结构细胞的支架进行建模,并根据LR相似性在支架的适当位置插入免疫细胞,进一步增强最近邻图。为了在保留图所表示的细胞拓扑的同时重建三维空间组织,我们采用了图嵌入策略来最小化图拓扑与嵌入的三维空间之间的差异。我们利用scRNA-seq和空间转录组(ST, 10倍Visium平台)数据对来自小鼠模型的两个弥漫性内生性脑桥胶质瘤(DIPG)样本进行了框架评估。预测的空间组织成功地分离了主要的细胞类型。t细胞浸润的肿瘤,通过ST图像的t细胞空间斑点验证,被很好地再现。我们通过使用SPOTlight整合scRNA-seq数据对ST数据进行反卷积。通过Kullback-Leibler散度测量,预测空间组织的邻域富集分布与点反卷积的ST数据具有较高的一致性。我们发现CD8+ t细胞的异质邻域组成,表明它们在TME中的位置具有不同的克隆性和功能。引用格式:丁亮,史浩,严坤桥,Yogesh Dhungana, Sivaraman Natarajan, John Easton, Jason Chiang, Christopher L.
