Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of biology, and more specifically, to a method for constructing and sequencing a spatial transcriptome sequencing library of plant tissues. Background Technology
[0002] Spatial transcriptomics is an important high-throughput sequencing technology that can simultaneously obtain spatial location information of cells and gene expression data. This has advanced the study of true gene expression in in situ cells within tissues, providing crucial research tools for multiple fields such as tissue cell function, microenvironment interactions, developmental lineage tracing, and disease pathology. Stereo-seq is a technique that utilizes nanosphere DNB sequencing to achieve spatiotemporal transcriptome sequencing at subcellular resolution. However, when using this technology for spatiotemporal transcriptome sequencing, it was found that some plant tissues exhibit problems such as easy transcript diffusion and low capture rates.
[0003] Therefore, the construction and sequencing methods for spatial transcriptome sequencing libraries of plant tissues still need further research. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This invention aims to at least partially address the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this invention proposes a method for constructing plant tissue spatial transcriptome sequencing libraries, a method for plant tissue spatial transcriptome sequencing, and a kit for using plant tissue spatial transcriptome sequencing libraries. The plant tissue transcripts constructed using this invention are not easily diffused, have a high capture rate, and can obtain high-quality in-situ captured spatiotemporal data with high accuracy and reliability, ensuring sequencing accuracy and high application value.
[0005] In one aspect of the present invention, a method for constructing a spatial transcriptome sequencing library of plant tissue is proposed. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the method includes: (1) fixing and embedding plant tissue to obtain embedded blocks; (2) performing autofluorescence detection and tissue permeation treatment on a portion of the embedded blocks to determine the autofluorescence threshold and the target tissue permeation time; (3) slicing, mounting and fixing the remaining portion of the embedded blocks, and performing microscopic fluorescence scanning detection and tissue permeation treatment on the chip containing the tissue according to the autofluorescence threshold and the target tissue permeation time to obtain a permeated tissue chip; (4) performing reverse transcription, tissue removal, cDNA release, recovery and amplification on the permeated tissue chip to obtain a cDNA amplification product; wherein, the fixation treatment includes: immersing the plant tissue in a paraformaldehyde solution.
[0006] In the method according to an embodiment of the present invention, step (1) involves fixing and embedding the plant tissue to preserve it. Existing plant tissue fixation methods typically involve paraformaldehyde (PFA) fixation, which requires fixing the tissue for 16 hours, followed by overnight dehydration in 10%, 20%, and 30% sucrose solutions. This cumbersome process easily leads to RNA degradation in the tissue. Therefore, the inventors have simplified the fixation method by soaking the plant tissue in paraformaldehyde solution for only a few minutes, achieving the fixation purpose while reducing the risk of RNA degradation and saving experimental time.
[0007] When performing microscopic fluorescence scanning on tissue sections, it is necessary to set the autofluorescence threshold for detection. Plant cell tissues are highly specific, and due to the presence of cell walls and various secondary metabolites, their autofluorescence will generate a lot of interference. Therefore, before performing step (3), it is necessary to pre-determine the fluorescence threshold of the plant tissue to be tested. Similarly, different plant tissue sections usually have applicable tissue permeation times. Before performing step (3), it is also necessary to pre-determine the target tissue permeation time of the plant tissue to be tested.
[0008] According to embodiments of the present invention, the method for constructing the above-described plant tissue spatial transcriptome sequencing library may further include the following additional technical features:

In the microscopic fluorescence scanning detection, the signal intensity and diffusion degree detected by each permeated tissue chip are scored. The signal intensity score is recorded as A, and the higher the score, the stronger the signal; the diffusion degree score is recorded as B, and the higher the score, the weaker the diffusion degree; the tissue permeation time corresponding to the permeated tissue chip with the lowest A and B is selected as the target tissue permeation time.
[0016] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the slicing, patching and fixation steps in step (2) are the same as the slicing, patching and fixation steps in step (3); the tissue permeation treatment conditions in step (2) are the same as the tissue permeation treatment conditions in step (3) except for time.
[0017] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the method for determining the autofluorescence threshold includes: setting the fluorescence microscope to epifluorescence, adjusting the light intensity and exposure gain, switching to the DAPI channel, and adjusting the exposure until tissue autofluorescence can no longer be seen. The exposure value at this point is the autofluorescence threshold.
[0018] In another aspect of the invention, a method for spatial transcriptome sequencing of plant tissues is provided. According to an embodiment of the invention, the method includes: constructing a sequencing library using the aforementioned method for constructing a spatial transcriptome sequencing library of plant tissues; and sequencing the sequencing library.

[0036] This invention proposes a method for constructing a plant tissue spatial transcriptome sequencing library, a method for sequencing a plant tissue spatial transcriptome, and a kit for sequencing a plant tissue spatial transcriptome library, which will be described in detail below.
[0037] Methods for constructing spatial transcriptome sequencing libraries from plant tissues
[0038] In one aspect of the invention, a method for constructing a spatial transcriptome sequencing library of plant tissues is provided. See embodiments of the invention for details. Figure 1 The method includes: S100 fixation and embedding; S200 determination of autofluorescence threshold and target tissue permeation time; S300 sectioning, mounting, fixation, microscopic fluorescence scanning detection, and tissue permeation; S400 reverse transcription, tissue removal, cDNA release, recovery, and amplification. Each step will be described in detail below.
[0039] S100 Fixing and Embedding
[0040] In this step, the plant tissue is fixed and embedded to obtain embedded blocks.
[0041] Plant tissue fixation aims to maintain its morphology, structure, RNA, and protein stability, preventing degradation and structural loss during experiments. Existing plant tissue fixation methods typically involve paraformaldehyde (PFA) fixation, a cumbersome and time-consuming process that easily leads to RNA degradation. To address this, the inventors have simplified the fixation method by simply immersing the plant tissue in a paraformaldehyde solution. This achieves the fixation goal while reducing the risk of RNA degradation and saving experimental time.
[0042] According to embodiments of the present invention, the fixation treatment includes immersing the plant tissue in a paraformaldehyde solution. In some embodiments, the concentration of the paraformaldehyde solution is 0.1–2% by volume; the fixation time is 2–3 minutes. Under the above fixation conditions, paraformaldehyde can penetrate into the tissue to coagulate intracellular proteins, minimizing or terminating the reactions of exogenous and endogenous enzymes; preventing cell autolysis, thus preventing antigen diffusion into the interstitial tissue, and maintaining the inherent morphology and structure of the tissue. Simultaneously, it can maintain the antigenicity of the tissue or cells, avoiding antigen inactivation and diffusion, thereby preventing excessively dark background during staining that could affect the identification of positive analytes. In some embodiments, the paraformaldehyde solution can be water or a buffer solution, such as phosphate buffer, and the pH of the paraformaldehyde solution is near neutral; exemplarily, the pH can be 7.0–7.4.
[0043] Before fixation, the detached fresh plant tissue can be trimmed to the required size, such as less than 0.9cm × 0.9cm × 0.4cm.
[0044] Embedding fixed tissues preserves their shape and structure, preventing damage during processing and sectioning. This facilitates observation and study of cellular structure, tissue morphology, and various cell-molecule interactions. Common embedding media include paraffin or OCT, yielding paraffin sections and frozen sections respectively. Compared to paraffin sections, frozen sections better preserve the tissue's antigenic immunoreactivity.
[0045] S200 determines the autofluorescence threshold and target tissue permeation time.
[0046] In this step, a portion of the embedded block is subjected to autofluorescence detection and tissue permeation treatment to determine the autofluorescence threshold and the target tissue permeation time.
[0047] When performing microscopic fluorescence scanning on stained tissue sections, it is necessary to set the autofluorescence threshold for detection. Plant cell tissues are highly specific, and due to the presence of cell walls and various secondary metabolites, their autofluorescence will generate a lot of interference. Therefore, before performing S300, it is necessary to pre-determine the fluorescence threshold of the plant tissue to be tested.
[0048] The inventors of this invention have discovered that the appropriate tissue permeation time may vary for different plant tissues, and the tissue permeation time significantly affects the detection and analysis results. If the tissue permeation time is insufficient, mRNA cannot be fully released; if the tissue permeation time is too long, mRNA may diffuse into nearby areas, affecting the accuracy of the analysis results. Therefore, it is necessary to pre-determine the optimal tissue permeation time for plant tissues. For example, 6 minutes is optimal for testing SAM samples at the R1 stage of soybean flowering; 8 minutes is optimal for testing Arabidopsis cotyledon embryos.
[0049] According to an embodiment of the present invention, step S200 includes: sectioning, mounting, fixing, and autofluorescence detection of a portion of the embedded block to determine the autofluorescence threshold; performing tissue permeation treatment on the tissue chips after the previous autofluorescence detection under different tissue permeation time conditions to obtain different permeated tissue chips; performing reverse transcription, tissue removal, and microscopic fluorescence scanning detection on the different permeated tissue chips, wherein the signal intensity and diffusion degree of each permeated tissue chip are scored in the microscopic fluorescence scanning detection, the signal intensity score is denoted as A, the higher the score, the stronger the signal; the diffusion degree score is denoted as B, the higher the score, the weaker the diffusion degree; the tissue permeation time corresponding to the permeated tissue chip with the lowest sum of A and B is the target (optimal) tissue permeation time. Therefore, the above method can be used to screen out target tissue permeation times based on different types of plant tissues.
[0050] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the slicing, patching, and fixation steps in step S200 are consistent with the slicing, patching, and fixation steps in step S300; the tissue permeation treatment conditions in step S200 are consistent with the tissue permeation treatment conditions in step S300 except for the time. This ensures that the target tissue permeation time determined in step S200 is suitable for the tissue permeation treatment in step S300.
[0051] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the method for determining the autofluorescence threshold includes: setting the fluorescence microscope to epifluorescence, adjusting the light intensity and exposure gain, switching to the DAPI channel, and adjusting the exposure until tissue autofluorescence can no longer be seen. The exposure value at this point is the autofluorescence threshold.
[0052] S300 sectioning, mounting, fixation, microscopic fluorescence scanning detection, and tissue permeation.
[0053] In this step, the remaining embedded blocks are sliced, mounted, and fixed. The stained tissue chip is then subjected to microscopic fluorescence scanning and tissue permeation according to the autofluorescence threshold and the target tissue permeation time to obtain the permeated tissue chip.
[0054] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the tissue permeation treatment includes: adding the prepermeation reagent to a tissue chip after microscopic fluorescence scanning detection, incubating, washing the incubated tissue chip with a cleaning reagent, adding the permeation reagent to the tissue chip again, incubating, removing the liquid on the tissue chip, and then washing and drying the tissue chip.
[0055] Currently, conventional tissue permeabilization involves directly permeating the tissue microarray. The inventors of this invention have discovered that the low gene capture rate in plant spatiotemporal sequencing is primarily due to the presence of numerous secondary metabolites in plants, which can affect reverse transcriptase activity. Furthermore, while PFA fixation reduces transcript diffusion, it also decreases gene capture to some extent. By employing a pre-permeabilization reagent, the capture rate can be improved, ensuring that the simplified PFA fixation results meet the requirements of subsequent analysis.
[0056] According to embodiments of the present invention, the pre-permeabilization reagent includes PVP (PVP10-500G, Sigma), BSA (bovine serum albumin), RNase inhibitor, and EXO I buffer (BO293S, NEB); the permeabilization reagent includes PVP (PVP10-500G, Sigma), HCl, and PR Enzyme (BGI, 1000028500); the washing reagent includes PVP and hydrochloric acid solution. Therefore, using the above-mentioned pre-permeabilization reagent can further improve the capture efficiency.
[0057] According to an embodiment of the present invention, based on the volume of the pre-permeabilizing reagent, the concentration of PVP in the pre-permeabilizing reagent is 1-5% by volume, the concentration of BSA is 0.01-0.1% by volume, and the concentration of RNase inhibitor is 1-5 U / μl. Therefore, by using the above-mentioned pre-permeabilizing reagent, the capture efficiency can be further improved.
[0058] According to an embodiment of the present invention, based on the volume of the permeation reagent, the concentration of PVP in the permeation reagent is 1-5% by volume, the concentration of HCl is 0.001-0.1N, and the concentration of RNase inhibitor is 1-5 U / μl. Therefore, by using the above-mentioned permeation reagent, the capture efficiency can be further improved.
[0059] According to an embodiment of the present invention, based on the volume of the cleaning reagent, the concentration of PVP in the cleaning reagent is 1-5% by volume, and the concentration of HCl is 0.001-0.1N. This avoids the possibility of residues affecting subsequent operations.
[0060] S400 reverse transcription, tissue removal, cDNA release, recovery, and amplification.
[0061] In this step, the permeabilized tissue microarray undergoes reverse transcription, tissue removal, cDNA release, recovery, and amplification to obtain a sequencing library. After reverse transcription, the mRNA in the tissue is transcribed into cDNA. However, the tissue itself may contain other impurities, such as cell debris and proteins. These impurities may interfere with subsequent experimental steps, affecting sample purity, such as probe capture and sequencing, thus hindering the reliability of experimental results. Therefore, tissue removal is necessary after reverse transcription. Since the tissue microarray is pre-set with probes that can capture mRNA from the tissue, these probes act as primers during reverse transcription. Therefore, the reverse-transcribed cDNA sequence can be directly spliced onto the probes, avoiding removal during tissue removal and microarray washing.
[0062] To avoid impurities in the recovered cDNA product affecting subsequent amplification, the product is purified beforehand. After amplification, the resulting amplification product is further processed into nanospheres (DNB).
[0063] Methods for spatial transcriptome sequencing of plant tissues
[0064] In another aspect, the present invention provides a method for spatial transcriptome sequencing of plant tissues. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the method includes: constructing a sequencing library using the aforementioned method for constructing a plant tissue spatial transcriptome sequencing library; and sequencing the sequencing library. Therefore, the sequencing results obtained using the method of the present invention are highly accurate.
[0065] It should be noted that the features and advantages described above for the construction method of plant tissue spatial transcriptome sequencing libraries also apply to this plant tissue spatial transcriptome sequencing method, and will not be repeated here.

According to embodiments of the present invention, the kit comprises the following reagents: a fixation reagent comprising paraformaldehyde solution; a pre-permeabilization reagent comprising PVP, BSA, an RNase inhibitor, and EXO I buffer; and a permeabilization reagent comprising PVP, HCl, and PR Enzyme.

[0068] According to an embodiment of the present invention, based on the volume of the pre-permeabilizing reagent, the concentration of PVP in the pre-permeabilizing reagent is 1-5% by volume, the concentration of BSA is 0.01-0.1% by volume, and the concentration of RNase inhibitor is 1-5 U / μl. Therefore, by using the above-mentioned pre-permeabilizing reagent, the capture efficiency can be further improved.
[0069] According to an embodiment of the present invention, based on the volume of the permeation reagent, the concentration of PVP in the permeation reagent is 1-5% by volume, and the concentration of HCl is 0.001-0.1N. Therefore, by using the above-mentioned permeation reagent, the capture efficiency can be further improved.
[0070] According to embodiments of the present invention, the kit further comprises at least one of the following: a reverse transcription reagent, an OCT embedding agent, a staining agent, a cDNA release agent, a tissue removal agent, and an amplification reagent.

[0077] Under laboratory conditions, after fresh samples are removed from the body, plant tissues are sampled, trimmed, and rapidly fixed and embedded using sterilized instruments to minimize RNA degradation within the tissue. Tissue blocks are smaller than 0.9cm × 0.9cm × 0.4cm.
[0078] 1.2. Simplified PFA fixing
[0079] (1) Thaw the 4% PFA solution at room temperature in advance and prepare 1% PFA Mix (Table 1) in a 1.5ml centrifuge tube.
[0080] Table 1 Composition of 1% PFA Mix
[0081]
[0082] (2) Immerse the plant tissue in 1% PFA Mix and incubate on ice for 2.5 min.
[0083] (3) Wash the plant tissue with 1×PBS 3 times.
[0084] (4) Use lint-free paper to absorb the surface moisture of the plant tissue and place it on ice to await embedding.
[0085] 1.3. Sample embedding
[0086] Prepare an embedding cassette slightly larger than the size of the tissue block. Place it on dry ice and slowly add an appropriate amount of pre-cooled OCT at 4°C, about 2-4 mm thick, ensuring the surface is flat and free of air bubbles. Use tweezers to transfer the plant tissue into the OCT-covered embedding cassette and add more OCT to cover the tissue surface. If there are air bubbles, use a pipette tip to remove them and quickly transfer the tissue to dry ice. After the OCT solidifies and turns white, mark the tissue embedding location and pre-section orientation on the embedding cassette.
[0087] 1.4. Sample Preservation and Transportation
[0088] Wrap the embedded tissue in aluminum foil, label it, and place it in a sealed bag. Store it in a refrigerator at -80°C. For long-distance transportation, it can be mailed via dry ice.
[0089] 2. Autofluorescence assay and permeation test of plant tissues
[0090] 2.1 Experimental Preparation and Chip Preprocessing
[0091] (1) Pre-cool the cryostat chamber (-20℃) and sample head (-10℃~-15℃); at the same time, place the brush, blade and tweezers in the cryostat for pre-cooling; adjust the temperature of the curing machine to 37℃.
[0092] (2) Take the embedding cassette containing the tissue sample to be tested out of the -80℃ freezer and transfer it to the cryostat for equilibration (about 30 min); pre-cool methanol at -20℃, add it to the 24-well plate (1 mL / well), cover it, and place it in the cryostat or the -20℃ freezer for later use.
[0093] (3) Transfer the fluorescent chip to a new 24-well plate, paying attention to the front and back of the chip, and do not scratch the front of the chip. Record the chip number. Rinse twice with 400 μL 0.1×SSC, and aspirate the liquid. Cover the chip surface with 100 μL Nuclease-Free Water (containing RNase Inhibitor, 5%) and let it stand for 3 min. Aspirate the liquid on the chip surface, and rinse twice with 400 μL Nuclease-Free Water, and aspirate the liquid. Wipe the back and surrounding area of the chip with lint-free paper, and bake the chip at 37°C in a chip oven until there is no liquid residue on the chip surface. Place the chip in a petri dish and wait for mounting.
[0094] 2.2 Cryosectioning, mounting, and fixation of embedded blocks
[0095] (1) Take out the embedding block from the embedding cassette and fix it to the sample holder using OCT according to the slide orientation; after successful adhesion, trim the embedding block, cut off the excess OCT, and install it to the sample head to prepare for slide preparation.
[0096] (2) When starting to slice, the slice thickness can be adjusted to 50μm. After the tissue is exposed, adjust the slice thickness to 10μm (adjustments can be made according to cell size and tissue slice condition); after successful slicing, use the sample stage to quickly pre-cool the brush head and carefully flatten the slice, trying to avoid touching the tissue area. Carefully flip the slice so that the back side is facing up to complete the shaping and prepare for mounting.
[0097] (3) Cold bonding: Place the chip face up in the slicer and pre-cool for 3 minutes. Carefully cover the center of the chip with the frozen slice, gently adjust the position, and use your fingertips to warm the back of the chip to make the slice adhere.
[0098] (4) After successful patching, place the patch at 37°C for 3 minutes with the front side facing up. Do not place it at room temperature. After baking, immediately place the patch in a pre-cooled methanol solution at -20°C for 30 to 40 minutes to fix it.
[0099] (5) To ensure sample quality and reduce experimental risks, it is recommended to cut 10-20 pieces of tissue with a thickness of 10μm and store them in 1.5mL EP tubes pre-cooled at -20℃ for subsequent extraction and quality testing of Total RNA (RIN≥7 is considered a qualified sample, and plant tissue is only used as a reference).
[0100] 2.3 Autofluorescence determination
[0101] (1) Remove the fixed tissue chip from the methanol, blot the back and surrounding methanol with lint-free paper, and transfer it to a culture dish with a sealing film. After the methanol evaporates and the chip surface dries, clean the chip once with 0.1×SSC (100μL / chip; containing RNase Inhibitor, 5%) to keep the chip surface moist.
[0102] (2) Carefully transfer the chip onto the glass slide, add 15 μL of Image Reagent (containing RNase Inhibitor, 5%) to cover the entire chip, ensuring that there is no obvious liquid bulge on the chip surface, and slowly transfer the glass slide containing the chip to the microscope scanning stage.
[0103] (3) Open the microscope control system, select epifluorescence, light intensity modulation 30, exposure gain 100 (tissues with weak autofluorescence can be adjusted according to the actual situation); first rotate to the FITC channel, adjust the exposure under 10x magnification until the tissue autofluorescence can no longer be seen, and record the exposure value at this time; then rotate to the DAPI channel, keep the magnification unchanged, adjust the exposure, again until the tissue autofluorescence can no longer be seen, and record the exposure value. The exposure value at this time is the autofluorescence threshold.
[0104] 2.4 Permeability Test

Turn on the microscope control system, select epifluorescence, rotate to the TRITC channel, and scan the entire image with a 10x microscope. The exposure time for the same group of experiments must be consistent. Score the signal intensity and diffusion degree of each permeable tissue chip. The signal intensity score is recorded as A, where a higher score indicates a stronger signal. The diffusion degree score is recorded as B, where a higher score indicates a weaker diffusion degree. Select the chip with higher signal intensity and weaker diffusion, i.e., the lowest sum of A and B. The corresponding time is the optimal permeation time for this tissue. The optimal permeation time was finally determined to be 4 min. Figure 3 ).
