Spatial transcriptomics reveals gene expression patterns in Stanford type A aortic dissection. Macrophages and stem cells dominate tearing sites, offering insights into disease mechanisms and personalized therapies.

Area of Science:

  • Molecular biology
  • Genomics
  • Cardiovascular research

Background:

  • Spatial transcriptomics allows precise mapping of gene expression within tissues.
  • Stanford type A aortic dissection involves complex cellular and molecular changes.
  • Understanding tissue heterogeneity is crucial for dissecting disease pathogenesis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a spatial transcriptomics approach for analyzing human aortic dissection.
  • To explore the heterogeneity of ascending aorta in Stanford type A aortic dissection.
  • To map cell-type-specific gene expression to anatomical locations within the dissected aorta.

Main Methods:

  • Aortic samples from 15 patients with Stanford type A aortic dissection were analyzed.
  • 10x Genomics and spatial transcriptomics sequencing were employed.

  • Data processing involved comparing normalization, component, and dimensionality reduction algorithms for human aortic tissue.

    • Main Results:

    • 19,879 genes were identified and categorized into seven expression trend groups.
    • Spatial distribution of cell types, including macrophages and stem cells at tearing sites, was mapped.
    • Gene expression patterns correlated with cell types and functions like immunity and oxygen homeostasis.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed approach provides a spatially resolved, tissue-wide transcriptome of the human aorta.
    • This method is applicable to fibrous aortic tissues, even with low RNA expression.
    • Findings advance understanding of aortic dissection pathogenesis and personalized therapeutic strategies.
