Spectral flow cytometry (SFM) enables deep profiling at the single-cell level. It is able to detect many fluorescent parameters within one measurement; therefore, it is vastly useful when patient material is limited. However, designing and analyzing these high-dimensional datasets remains complex. We optimized a 42-parameter panel (40 commercially available fluorochromes, one stacked fluorochrome and an autofluorescent (AF) parameter) that enables the identification of innate and adaptive immune cell composition. It is the first 42-parameter panel that is optimized on peripheral whole blood, and it outperforms other published OMIPs of 40 colors in terms of complexity. With this panel, we are able to identify neutrophils, basophils, eosinophils, monocytes, dendritic cells, CD4 T cells, CD8 T cells, regulatory T cells, mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells, γδ T cells, B cells, NK cells, dendritic cells, and innate lymphoid cells (ILCs). Furthermore, with the utilization of co-stimulatory, checkpoint, activation, homing, and maturation markers, this panel enables deeper phenotyping. Within one measurement, more than 80 distinct immune cell subsets were identified by FlowSOM and annotated manually.

In this paper, we demonstrate that it is possible to calibrate flowcytometry laser scatter signals with accurate measures of cell diameter from separate devices and that the calibration can be conserved upon changes in the laser settings. We demonstrate our approach based on flow cytometric sorting of cells of a mammalian cell line according to a selection of scatter parameters, followed by cell size determination with a Coulter counter. A straightforward procedure is presented that relates the flow cytometric scatter parameters to the absolute size measurements using linear models, along with a linear transformation that converts between different instrument settings on the flow cytometer.

Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) acts as a signal receiver upon EGF binding and produces mitogenic input for many cells also through receptor-heterodimerization with its ligandless partner, Human Epidermal growth factor Receptor 2 (HER2). Ligand-driven transactivation is a key step leading to changes in the cell surface pattern of EGFR and HER2; their interaction plays a key role in various malignancies, especially when HER2 molecules are overexpressed. Our clinically relevant model system is the SK-BR-3 breast tumor cell line, overexpressing HER2 and moderately expressing EGFR. This cell line shows significant dependency on EGF-driven HER2 signaling. We studied changes in the interaction between EGFR and HER2 in the cell membrane upon EGF binding, applying various biophysical approaches with different time scales. Changes in molecular proximity were characterized by fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) techniques assessing Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET), which confirmed the ligand-enhanced interaction of EGFR and HER2, followed by an increase in HER2 homoassociation. EGF binding and transactivation were reflected in the phosphorylation of both receptor types as well. At the same time, superresolution Airyscan microscopy and fluorescence correlation and cross-correlation spectroscopy (FCS/FCCS), sensitive to changes in the size of stationary and diffusing aggregates, respectively, have revealed cyclic increases in the aggregation and stable co-diffusion of membrane-localized HER2, possibly caused by internalization and recycling, eventually leading to a new equilibrium. Such dynamic fluctuation of receptor interaction may open a window for the binding of therapeutic antibodies that are aimed at inhibiting heterodimerization, such as pertuzumab. The complementary array of state-of-the-art imaging cytometry approaches thus demonstrates a spatiotemporal pattern of spontaneous and induced receptor aggregation states that could provide mechanistic insights into the potential success of targeted therapies directed at the HER family of receptor tyrosine kinases.</p>","PeriodicalId":11068,"journal":{"name":"Cytometry Part A","volume":"107 3","pages":"187-202"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/cyto.a.24922","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143572474","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we explore statistical learning methods based on optimal transport (OT) to achieve a relevant low-dimensional representation of multi-patient flow cytometry measurements (FCM) datasets considered as high-dimensional probability distributions. Using the framework of OT, we justify the use of the <i>K</i>-means algorithm for dimensionality reduction of multiple large-scale point clouds through mean measure quantization by merging all the data into a single point cloud. After this quantization step, the visualization of the intra-and inter-patient FCM variability is carried out by embedding low-dimensional quantized probability measures into a linear space using either Wasserstein Principal Component Analysis (PCA) through linearized OT or log-ratio PCA of compositional data. Using a publicly available FCM dataset and a FCM dataset from Bordeaux University Hospital, we demonstrate the benefits of our approach over the popular kernel mean embedding technique for statistical learning from multiple high-dimensional probability distributions. We also highlight the usefulness of our methodology for low-dimensional projection and clustering patient measurements according to their level of MRD in AML from FCM.
