英文摘要
Phenotypic cell transitions are integral to tissue development, regeneration, and homeostasis,
where a single potent cell type can give rise to more than one functionally distinct cell type. To
better understand the dynamics of cell fate decisions, a lineage topology, from common
progenitor to each differentiated cell state, must be known. While signaling profiles of cellular
end states, stem and differentiated states, are generally well characterized, the signaling
dynamics along each trajectory and at branch points, splits in a common lineage, are less
defined. Recent computational approaches have focused on defining stemdifferentiated cell
transitions from single cell data. Defining the temporal progression of cell transitions is
challenging due to the continuum of cell states that exist between stable states. While previous
efforts have successfully mapped linear differentiation lineages, no approach exists that can
map branched differentiation lineages with statistically testable results. Our method borrows
concepts from graph theory, where a spanning tree is constructed from a densitydependent
down sampled set of datapoints. Lineage branches and cellular end states (stem cells and
differentiated cell types) are identified by closeness, a graph attribute. The resulting transition
maps are statistically scored both globally, on the overall topology, and locally, on each branch
point, using a modified rootmean squared deviation algorithm. A final transitional map
comprises a set of top scoring lineages which can be validated against the spatialtemporal cell
progression of the crypt. Our hypothesis is that a cell makes its fate decision based upon a
probabilistic distribution conditioned on its current state, its age, and the state of its surrounding
neighbors. From hyperplexed imaging technology, we will model probabilistic cell fate decisions
using a Bayesian framework to construct topologies of signaling dependencies. The mammalian
intestinal epithelium is our model system, where its short turnover time necessitates continuous
regeneration and differentiation of epithelial cells. Once established, our model will provide an
unique insight into the effect of disease on stemdifferentiated cell transitions, paving the way for
new systems based therapeutics.
