iBRIDGE: A Data Integration Method to Identify Inflamed Tumors from Single-Cell RNAseq Data and Differentiate Cell Type-Specific Markers of Immune-Cell Infiltration

The development of immune checkpoint-based immunotherapies has been a major advancement in the treatment of cancer, with a subset of patients exhibiting durable clinical responses. A predictive biomarker for immunotherapy response is the pre-existing T-cell infiltration in the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME). Bulk transcriptomics-based approaches can quantify the degree of T-cell infiltration using deconvolution methods and identify additional markers of inflamed/cold cancers at the bulk level. However, bulk techniques are unable to identify biomarkers of individual cell types. Although single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) assays are now being used to profile the TIME, to our knowledge there is no method of identifying patients with a T-cell inflamed TIME from scRNAseq data. Here, we describe a method, iBRIDGE, which integrates reference bulk RNAseq data with the malignant subset of scRNAseq datasets to identify patients with a T-cell inflamed TIME. Utilizing two datasets with matched bulk data, we show iBRIDGE results correlated highly with bulk assessments (0.85 and 0.9 correlation coefficients). Using iBRIDGE, we identified markers of inflamed phenotypes in malignant cells, myeloid cells, and fibroblasts, establishing type I and type II interferon pathways as dominant signals, especially in malignant and myeloid cells, and finding the TGFβ-driven mesenchymal phenotype not only in fibroblasts but also in malignant cells. Besides relative classification, per-patient average iBRIDGE scores and independent RNAScope quantifications were utilized for threshold-based absolute classification. Moreover, iBRIDGE can be applied to in vitro grown cancer cell lines and can identify the cell lines that are adapted from inflamed/cold patient tumors.

MUON: multimodal omics analysis framework

Advances in multi-omics have led to an explosion of multimodal datasets to address questions from basic biology to translation. While these data provide novel opportunities for discovery, they also pose management and analysis challenges, thus motivating the development of tailored computational solutions. `muon` is a Python framework for multimodal omics. It introduces multimodal data containers as `MuData` object. The package also provides state of the art methods for multi-omics data integration. `muon` allows the analysis of both unimodal omics and multimodal omics.

CellRank2: Unified fate mapping in multiview single-cell data

CellRank2 (Weiler et al, 2023) is a powerful framework for studying cellular fate using single-cell RNA sequencing data. It can handle millions of cells and different data types efficiently. This tool can identify cell fate and probabilities across various data sets. It also allows for analyzing transitions over time and uncovering key genes in developmental processes. Additionally, CellRank2 estimates cell-specific transcription and degradation rates, aiding in understanding differentiation trajectories and regulatory mechanisms. In this notebook, we will use a primary tumor sample of patient T71 from the dataset GSE137804 (Dong R. et al, 2020) as an example. We have performed RNA-velocity analysis and pseudotime calculation on this dataset in scVelo (Bergen et al, 2020) notebook. The output will be then loaded into this CellRank2 notebook for further analysis. This notebook is based on the tutorial provided on CellRank2 documentation. We have modified the notebook and changed the input data to show how the tool works on BioTuring's platform.
