Area of Science:

  • Computational biology
  • Spatial transcriptomics
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Spatial transcriptomics (ST) aims to map cellular composition but faces challenges with uniform cell count assumptions.
  • Current ST methods can distort biological interpretation due to inaccurate cell quantification per spatial spot.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop SegDecon, a computational framework integrating image-derived cell counts into Bayesian deconvolution for enhanced spatial transcriptomics analysis.
  • To improve the accuracy and biological fidelity of cell-type deconvolution in ST data.

Main Methods:

  • SegDecon utilizes Hue-Saturation-Value (HSV) color space transformation, morphological filtering, and deep learning for nuclei segmentation.
  • It quantifies nuclei per spatial spot and refines cell-type deconvolution using Gamma priors within a modified cell2location model.

Main Results:

  • SegDecon demonstrated improved correlation with ground truth in high-resolution mouse brain ST data.
  • The framework excels at resolving low-abundance and spatially restricted cell types, enhancing biological insights.

Conclusions:

  • SegDecon offers a reproducible and accessible method to integrate histology with transcriptomic deconvolution.
  • This approach significantly improves the resolution and biological fidelity of spatial transcriptomics.
