Background:

Spatially-resolved RNA profiling is crucial for understanding cellular organization and function within tissues.
Technical limitations in tissue preparation and RNA handling hinder the reconstruction of complete spatial transcriptomes.
Existing methods struggle with the sparsity and complexity of spatial gene expression data.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a novel computational model for reconstructing whole spatial transcriptomes.
To address the challenges of data sparsity and technical limitations in spatial RNA profiling.
To enhance the accuracy and completeness of spatial gene expression data for downstream analyses.

Main Methods:

Introduction of a graph-guided neural tensor decomposition (GNTD) model.
Utilizing a hierarchical tensor structure and nonlinear decomposition within a three-layer neural network.
Incorporating spatial relationships between capture spots and functional relationships between genes.

Main Results:

GNTD demonstrated consistent improvement in imputation accuracy across multiple datasets (Visium and Stereo-seq).
The model effectively reconstructs spatial transcriptomes from highly sparse data.
Imputed spatial transcriptomes provide a more comprehensive gene expression landscape.

Conclusions:

GNTD offers a robust method for reconstructing whole spatial transcriptomes.
The enhanced spatial transcriptomic data facilitates improved tissue segmentation and gene expression analysis.
This approach advances the utility of spatial transcriptomics for biological discovery.
