Skeletal muscle repair is driven by the coordinated self-renewal and fusion of myogenic stem and progenitor cells. Single-cell gene expression analyses of myogenesis have been hampered by the poor sampling of rare and transient cell states that are critical for muscle repair, and do not inform the spatial context that is important for myogenic differentiation. Here, we demonstrate how large-scale integration of single-cell and spatial transcriptomic data can overcome these limitations. We created a single-cell transcriptomic dataset of mouse skeletal muscle by integration, consensus annotation, and analysis of 23 newly collected scRNAseq datasets and 88 publicly available single-cell (scRNAseq) and single-nucleus (snRNAseq) RNA-sequencing datasets. The resulting dataset includes more than 365,000 cells and spans a wide range of ages, injury, and repair conditions. Together, these data enabled identification of the predominant cell types in skeletal muscle, and resolved cell subtypes, including endothelial subtypes distinguished by vessel-type of origin, fibro/adipogenic progenitors defined by functional roles, and many distinct immune populations. The representation of different experimental conditions and the depth of transcriptome coverage enabled robust profiling of sparsely expressed genes. We built a densely sampled transcriptomic model of myogenesis, from stem cell quiescence to myofiber maturation and identified rare, transitional states of progenitor commitment and fusion that are poorly represented in individual datasets. We performed spatial RNA sequencing of mouse muscle at three time points after injury and used the integrated dataset as a reference to achieve a high-resolution, local deconvolution of cell subtypes. We also used the integrated dataset to explore ligand-receptor co-expression patterns and identify dynamic cell-cell interactions in muscle injury response. We provide a public web tool to enable interactive exploration and visualization of the data. Our work supports the utility of large-scale integration of single-cell transcriptomic data as a tool for biological discovery.

Methods Mice. The Cornell University Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) approved all animal protocols, and experiments were performed in compliance with its institutional guidelines. Adult C57BL/6J mice (mus musculus) were obtained from Jackson Laboratories (#000664; Bar Harbor, ME) and were used at 4-7 months of age. Aged C57BL/6J mice were obtained from the National Institute of Aging (NIA) Rodent Aging Colony and were used at 20 months of age. For new scRNAseq experiments, female mice were used in each experiment.

Mouse injuries and single-cell isolation. To induce muscle injury, both tibialis anterior (TA) muscles of old (20 months) C57BL/6J mice were injected with 10 µl of notexin (10 µg/ml; Latoxan; France). At 0, 1, 2, 3.5, 5, or 7 days post-injury (dpi), mice were sacrificed and TA muscles were collected and processed independently to generate single-cell suspensions. Muscles were digested with 8 mg/ml Collagenase D (Roche; Switzerland) and 10 U/ml Dispase II (Roche; Switzerland), followed by manual dissociation to generate cell suspensions. Cell suspensions were sequentially filtered through 100 and 40 μm filters (Corning Cellgro #431752 and #431750) to remove debris. Erythrocytes were removed through incubation in erythrocyte lysis buffer (IBI Scientific #89135-030).

Single-cell RNA-sequencing library preparation. After digestion, single-cell suspensions were washed and resuspended in 0.04% BSA in PBS at a concentration of 106 cells/ml. Cells were counted manually with a hemocytometer to determine their concentration. Single-cell RNA-sequencing libraries were prepared using the Chromium Single Cell 3’ reagent kit v3 (10x Genomics, PN-1000075; Pleasanton, CA) following the manufacturer’s protocol. Cells were diluted into the Chromium Single Cell A Chip to yield a recovery of 6,000 single-cell transcriptomes. After preparation, libraries were sequenced using on a NextSeq 500 (Illumina; San Diego, CA) using 75 cycle high output kits (Index 1 = 8, Read 1 = 26, and Read 2 = 58). Details on estimated sequencing saturation and the number of reads per sample are shown in Sup. Data 1.

Spatial RNA sequencing library preparation. Tibialis anterior muscles of adult (5 mo) C57BL6/J mice were injected with 10µl notexin (10 µg/ml) at 2, 5, and 7 days prior to collection. Upon collection, tibialis anterior muscles were isolated, embedded in OCT, and frozen fresh in liquid nitrogen. Spatially tagged cDNA libraries were built using the Visium Spatial Gene Expression 3’ Library Construction v1 Kit (10x Genomics, PN-1000187; Pleasanton, CA) (Fig. S7). Optimal tissue permeabilization time for 10 µm thick sections was found to be 15 minutes using the 10x Genomics Visium Tissue Optimization Kit (PN-1000193). H&E stained tissue sections were imaged using Zeiss PALM MicroBeam laser capture microdissection system and the images were stitched and processed using Fiji ImageJ software. cDNA libraries were sequenced on an Illumina NextSeq 500 using 150 cycle high output kits (Read 1=28bp, Read 2=120bp, Index 1=10bp, and Index 2=10bp). Frames around the capture area on the Visium slide were aligned manually and spots covering the tissue were selected using Loop Browser v4.0.0 software (10x Genomics). Sequencing data was then aligned to the mouse reference genome (mm10) using the spaceranger v1.0.0 pipeline to generate a feature-by-spot-barcode expression matrix (10x Genomics).

Download and alignment of single-cell RNA sequencing data. For all samples available via SRA, parallel-fastq-dump (github.com/rvalieris/parallel-fastq-dump) was used to download raw .fastq files. Samples which were only available as .bam files were converted to .fastq format using bamtofastq from 10x Genomics (github.com/10XGenomics/bamtofastq). Raw reads were aligned to the mm10 reference using cellranger (v3.1.0).

Preprocessing and batch correction of single-cell RNA sequencing datasets. First, ambient RNA signal was removed using the default SoupX (v1.4.5) workflow (autoEstCounts and adjustCounts; github.com/constantAmateur/SoupX). Samples were then preprocessed using the standard Seurat (v3.2.1) workflow (NormalizeData, ScaleData, FindVariableFeatures, RunPCA, FindNeighbors, FindClusters, and RunUMAP; github.com/satijalab/seurat). Cells with fewer than 750 features, fewer than 1000 transcripts, or more than 30% of unique transcripts derived from mitochondrial genes were removed. After preprocessing, DoubletFinder (v2.0) was used to identify putative doublets in each dataset, individually. BCmvn optimization was used for PK parameterization. Estimated doublet rates were computed by fitting the total number of cells after quality filtering to a linear regression of the expected doublet rates published in the 10x Chromium handbook. Estimated homotypic doublet rates were also accounted for using the modelHomotypic function. The default PN value (0.25) was used. Putative doublets were then removed from each individual dataset. After preprocessing and quality filtering, we merged the datasets and performed batch-correction with three tools, independently- Harmony (github.com/immunogenomics/harmony) (v1.0), Scanorama (github.com/brianhie/scanorama) (v1.3), and BBKNN (github.com/Teichlab/bbknn) (v1.3.12). We then used Seurat to process the integrated data. After initial integration, we removed the noisy cluster and re-integrated the data using each of the three batch-correction tools.

Cell type annotation. Cell types were determined for each integration method independently. For Harmony and Scanorama, dimensions accounting for 95% of the total variance were used to generate SNN graphs (Seurat::FindNeighbors). Louvain clustering was then performed on the output graphs (including the corrected graph output by BBKNN) using Seurat::FindClusters. A clustering resolution of 1.2 was used for Harmony (25 initial clusters), BBKNN (28 initial clusters), and Scanorama (38 initial clusters). Cell types were determined based on expression of canonical genes (Fig. S3). Clusters which had similar canonical marker gene expression patterns were merged.

Pseudotime workflow. Cells were subset based on the consensus cell types between all three integration methods. Harmony embedding values from the dimensions accounting for 95% of the total variance were used for further dimensional reduction with PHATE, using phateR (v1.0.4) (github.com/KrishnaswamyLab/phateR).

Deconvolution of spatial RNA sequencing spots. Spot deconvolution was performed using the deconvolution module in BayesPrism (previously known as “Tumor microEnvironment Deconvolution”, TED, v1.0; github.com/Danko-Lab/TED). First, myogenic cells were re-labeled, according to binning along the first PHATE dimension, as “Quiescent MuSCs” (bins 4-5), “Activated MuSCs” (bins 6-7), “Committed Myoblasts” (bins 8-10), and “Fusing Myoctes” (bins 11-18). Culture-associated muscle stem cells were ignored and myonuclei labels were retained as “Myonuclei (Type IIb)” and “Myonuclei (Type IIx)”. Next, highly and differentially expressed genes across the 25 groups of cells were identified with differential gene expression analysis using Seurat (FindAllMarkers, using Wilcoxon Rank Sum Test; results in Sup. Data 2). The resulting genes were filtered based on average log2-fold change (avg_logFC > 1) and the percentage of cells within the cluster which express each gene (pct.expressed > 0.5), yielding 1,069 genes. Mitochondrial and ribosomal protein genes were also removed from this list, in line with recommendations in the BayesPrism vignette. For each of the cell types, mean raw counts were calculated across the 1,069 genes to generate a gene expression profile for BayesPrism. Raw counts for each spot were then passed to the run.Ted function, using

A significant challenge in the field of biomedicine is the development of methods to integrate the multitude of dispersed data sets into comprehensive frameworks to be used to generate optimal clinical decisions. Recent technological advances in single cell analysis allow for high-dimensional molecular characterization of cells and populations, but to date, few mathematical models have attempted to integrate measurements from the single cell scale with other data types. Here, we present a framework that actionizes static outputs from a machine learning model and leverages these as measurements of state variables in a dynamic mechanistic model of treatment response. We apply this framework to breast cancer cells to integrate single cell transcriptomic data with longitudinal population-size data. We demonstrate that the explicit inclusion of the transcriptomic information in the parameter estimation is critical for identification of the model parameters and enables accurate prediction of new treatment regimens. Inclusion of the transcriptomic data improves predictive accuracy in new treatment response dynamics with a concordance correlation coefficient (CCC) of 0.89 compared to a prediction accuracy of CCC = 0.79 without integration of the single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data directly into the model calibration. To the best our knowledge, this is the first work that explicitly integrates single cell clonally-resolved transcriptome datasets with longitudinal treatment response data into a mechanistic mathematical model of drug resistance dynamics. We anticipate this approach to be a first step that demonstrates the feasibility of incorporating multimodal data sets into identifiable mathematical models to develop optimized treatment regimens from data.

Igf2-Igf2r and Vegfb-Vegfr1 mediated communications were prominent in both regions, with extensive interactions between aCM-2 and vCM subclusters. This integration of scRNA-seq and spatial transcriptomics provides a comprehensive overview of cardiac tissue organization and intercellular communication, elucidating critical roles of vCM in energy metabolism and pump function, and aCM in regulating blood flow and electrical conduction.

Advances in single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) technology have recently shed light on the molecular mechanisms of the spatial and temporal changes of thousands of cells simultaneously under homeostatic and ischemic conditions. The aim of this study is to investigate whether it is possible to integrate multiple similar scRNA-seq datasets for a more comprehensive understanding of diseases. In this study, we integrated three representative scRNA-seq datasets of 27,349 non-cardiomyocytes isolated at 3 and 7 days after myocardial infarction or sham surgery. In total, seven lineages, including macrophages, fibroblasts, endothelia, and lymphocytes, were identified in this analysis with distinct dynamic and functional properties in healthy and nonhealthy hearts. Myofibroblasts and endothelia were recognized as the central hubs of cellular communication via ligand-receptor interactions. Additionally, we showed that macrophages from different origins exhibited divergent transcriptional signatures, pathways, developmental trajectories, and transcriptional regulons. It was found that myofibroblasts predominantly expand at 7 days after myocardial infarction with pro-reparative characteristics. We identified signature genes of myofibroblasts, such as Postn, Cthrc1, and Ddah1, among which Ddah1 was exclusively expressed on activated fibroblasts and exhibited concordant upregulation in bulk RNA sequencing data and in vivo and in vitro experiments. Collectively, this compendium of scRNA-seq data provides a valuable entry point for understanding the transcriptional and dynamic changes of non-cardiomyocytes in healthy and nonhealthy hearts by integrating multiple datasets.
