Biological hallmarks of splenic marginal zone lymphoma (SMZL) remain poorly described. Herein, we performed in-depth SMZL characterization through multimodal single-cell analyses of paired blood/spleen samples. The 3'-single-cell RNA-sequencing, Cellular Indexing of Transcriptomes and Epitopes by sequencing, and 5'-V(D)J single-cell RNA-sequencing datasets were integrated to characterize SMZL transcriptome profiles, including B-cell receptor and T-cell receptor repertoires. Hyperexpanded B-cell clones in the spleen were at a memory-like stage, whereas recirculating tumor B-cells in blood encompassed multiple differentiation stages, indicating an unexpected desynchronization of the B-cell maturation program in SMZL cells. Spatial transcriptomics showed the enrichment of T-effector and T-follicular helper (T) signatures in the nodular subtype of SMZL. This latter also exhibited gene-based cell-cell interactions suggestive of dynamic crosstalk between T and cancer cells in transcriptomics, further substantiated by using imaging mass cytometry. Our findings provide a comprehensive high-resolution description of SMZL biological hallmarks and characterize, for the first time in situ, inter- and intra-patient heterogeneity at both transcriptomic and protein levels. © 2024 The Authors.

Spatially mapping the transcriptome and proteome in the same tissue section can significantly advance our understanding of heterogeneous cellular processes and connect cell type to function. Here, we present Deterministic Barcoding in Tissue sequencing plus (DBiTplus), an integrative multi-modality spatial omics approach that combines sequencing-based spatial transcriptomics and image-based spatial protein profiling on the same tissue section to enable both single-cell resolution cell typing and genome-scale interrogation of biological pathways. DBiTplus begins with reverse transcription for cDNA synthesis, microfluidic delivery of DNA oligos for spatial barcoding, retrieval of barcoded cDNA using RNaseH, an enzyme that selectively degrades RNA in an RNA-DNA hybrid, preserving the intact tissue section for high-plex protein imaging with CODEX.

Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) has revolutionized cell biology by enabling the profiling of transcriptomes at a single-cell resolution, leading to important discoveries that have advanced our understanding of cellular and tissue heterogeneity, developmental trajectories, and disease progression. Despite these important advances, scRNA-seq is limited to measuring the transcriptome providing a partial view of cellular function. To address this limitation, multimodal scRNA-seq assays have emerged, allowing for the simultaneous measurement of RNA expression and protein.

In single-cell sequencing analysis, several computational methods have been developed to map the cellular state space, but little has been done to map or create embeddings of the gene space. Here we formulate the gene embedding problem, design tasks with simulated single-cell data to evaluate representations, and establish ten relevant baselines. We then present a graph signal processing approach, called gene signal pattern analysis (GSPA), that learns rich gene representations from single-cell data using a dictionary of diffusion wavelets on the cell-cell graph.

Single-cell CRISPR screens link genetic perturbations to transcriptional states, but high-throughput methods connecting these induced changes to their regulatory foundations are limited. Here, we introduce Multiome Perturb-seq, extending single-cell CRISPR screens to simultaneously measure perturbation-induced changes in gene expression and chromatin accessibility. We apply Multiome Perturb-seq in a CRISPRi screen of 13 chromatin remodelers in human RPE-1 cells, achieving efficient assignment of sgRNA identities to single nuclei via an improved method for capturing barcode transcripts from nuclear RNA.
