Abstract
The arrangement patterns and spatial distribution features of cells within tissues are key regulators of drug actions and cellular responses; however, the specific spatial microenvironment that mediates drug actions and efficacy remains to be elucidated. Here, we introduce SDMap (http://bio-bigdata.hrbmu.edu.cn/SDMap/), a database to dissect the spatial distributions of drug-associated cells and spatial contexts that contribute to drug actions. SDMap establishes connections between 5 490 079 spatial locations (spots/cells) derived from 989 slices of 35 human tissues (including disease-state slices) and 538 419 instances across 33 149 drugs. It also offers 10 user-friendly tools for retrieving and analyzing: (i) associations between drug-associated instances and spatial spots/cells, niches, or cell types; (ii) the influence of spatial drug target activity on drug actions; (iii) drug-associated instances exhibiting highly variable spatial perturbation effects; (iv) the perturbation effects of drug dosage and duration on the spatial microenvironment; (v) spatial differentiation trajectories of drug-perturbed cells; (vi) the impact of spatial cellular functional activity on drug perturbation; (vii) spatial perturbation effect maps of drug combinations; and (viii) 3D maps of drug perturbation effects within spatial tissue contexts. SDMap is anticipated to yield critical insights into how spatial heterogeneity influences drug actions, and serve as a comprehensive database for identifying spatially resolved precision therapy targets and elucidating drug-associated mechanisms.
期刊介绍:
Nucleic Acids Research (NAR) is a scientific journal that publishes research on various aspects of nucleic acids and proteins involved in nucleic acid metabolism and interactions. It covers areas such as chemistry and synthetic biology, computational biology, gene regulation, chromatin and epigenetics, genome integrity, repair and replication, genomics, molecular biology, nucleic acid enzymes, RNA, and structural biology. The journal also includes a Survey and Summary section for brief reviews. Additionally, each year, the first issue is dedicated to biological databases, and an issue in July focuses on web-based software resources for the biological community. Nucleic Acids Research is indexed by several services including Abstracts on Hygiene and Communicable Diseases, Animal Breeding Abstracts, Agricultural Engineering Abstracts, Agbiotech News and Information, BIOSIS Previews, CAB Abstracts, and EMBASE.
