Abstract [en]

Tissues are dynamic and complex biological systems composed of specialized cell types that interact with each other for proper biological function. To comprehensively characterize and understand the cell circuitry underlying biological processes within tissues, it is crucial to preserve their spatial information. Here we report a simple mounting technique to maximize the area of the tissue to be analyzed, encompassing the whole length of the murine gastrointestinal (GI) tract, from mouth to rectum. Using this method, analysis of the whole murine GI tract can be performed in a single slide not only by means of histological staining, immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization but also by multiplexed antibody staining and spatial transcriptomic approaches. We demonstrate the utility of our method in generating a comprehensive gene and protein expression profile of the whole GI tract by combining the versatile tissue-rolling technique with a cutting-edge transcriptomics method (Visium) and two cutting-edge proteomics methods (ChipCytometry and CODEX-PhenoCycler) in a systematic and easy-to-follow step-by-step procedure. The entire process, including tissue rolling, processing and sectioning, can be achieved within 2–3 d for all three methods. For Visium spatial transcriptomics, an additional 2 d are needed, whereas for spatial proteomics assays (ChipCytometry and CODEX-PhenoCycler), another 3–4 d might be considered. The whole process can be accomplished by researchers with skills in performing murine surgery, and standard histological and molecular biology methods.
