  • Mass Cytometry Analysis of the Tumour-Immune Landscape: the Role of Axl Receptor Kinase
    A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science Mass cytometry analysis of the tumour-immune landscape: The role of Axl receptor kinase Sturla Magnus Grøndal Supervisor: Prof. James Bradley Lorens, Dept. of Biomedicine Co-supervisor: Assoc. Prof. Niels Aarsæther, Dept. of Biomedicine Bergen, November, 2018 I Abstract Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in Norway (2016) and worldwide. Despite the advent of new immunotherapies, malignant cancer demonstrates an intrinsic plasticity and is able to evade, adapt and suppress the immune system. An important driver for this malignant phenotype is the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) program, characteristic of stem cells. Previous research showed a link between the AXL receptor tyrosine kinase (Axl) and EMT. The Axl receptor is further involved in immune suppression and could therefore serve as a potential target in immunotherapy and in combination with other cancer treatments. Chemotherapeutic treatment also shows evidence of immune involvement, and the immune system plays a vital role in all forms of cancer treatment. In this study, we evaluated current immunotherapy in combination the Axl kinase inhibitor, bemcentinib. Using single cell mass cytometry we conducted 30 parameter mapping of the immune system in an experimental murine tumour model. The data was analysed using dimensionality reduction and unsupervised clustering. By studying how the immune landscape changes during tumour development and immunotherapy treatment, important insights into how the immune system responds to tumour development and treatment was measured and a new treatment regime was evaluated. II Acknowledgements I would like to thank my family and friends for supporting me through my year of academic research and else in life and for allowing me to have a place outside of the university I can retreat to.

New methods for analyzing CyTOF data attempt to improve automation, scalability, performance, and interpretation of data generated in large studies. However, most current tools are less suitable for routine use where analysis must be standardized, reproducible, interpretable, and comparable. Assigning individual cells into discrete groups of cell types (gating) involves time-consuming se- quential manual steps untenable for larger studies. The subjectivity of manual gating introduces variability into the data and impacts reproducibility and comparability of results, particularly in multi-center studies. The FlowCAP consortium was formed to address these issues and it aims to boost user confidence in the viability of automated gating methods.

    Review From Bivariate to Multivariate Analysis of Cytometric Data: Overview of Computational Methods and Their Application in Vaccination Studies Simone Lucchesi 1, Simone Furini 2, Donata Medaglini 1 and Annalisa Ciabattini 1,* 1 Laboratory of Molecular Microbiology and Biotechnology (LA.M.M.B.), Department of Medical Biotechnologies, University of Siena, 53100 Siena, Italy; [email protected] (S.L.); [email protected] (D.M.) 2 Department of Medical Biotechnologies, University of Siena, 53100 Siena, Italy; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 27 February 2020; Accepted: 18 March 2020; Published: 20 March 2020 Abstract: Flow and mass cytometry are used to quantify the expression of multiple extracellular or intracellular molecules on single cells, allowing the phenotypic and functional characterization of complex cell populations. Multiparametric flow cytometry is particularly suitable for deep analysis of immune responses after vaccination, as it allows to measure the frequency, the phenotype, and the functional features of antigen-specific cells. When many parameters are investigated simultaneously, it is not feasible to analyze all the possible bi-dimensional combinations of marker expression with classical manual analysis and the adoption of advanced automated tools to process and analyze high-dimensional data sets becomes necessary. In recent years, the development of many tools for the automated analysis of multiparametric cytometry data has been reported, with an increasing record of publications starting from 2014. However, the use of these tools has been preferentially restricted to bioinformaticians, while few of them are routinely employed by the biomedical community. Filling the gap between algorithms developers and final users is fundamental for exploiting the advantages of computational tools in the analysis of cytometry data.

Sample Processing Incubate with a metallointercalator Unlike traditional flow cytometry where detection of multiple probes is hindered by the physical limitations of fluorescence emission spectral overlap, the CyTOF instrument uses atomic mass spectrometry to allow simple, independent detection of up to 33 metal labeled antibodies (and two DNA intercalators) based ® on currently available reagents. The instrument has the capacity Introduce individual samples into the CyTOF Mass Cytometer (similar to a flow cytometer) to measure 100 independent signals and new reagents will be 375 pc introduced to take advantage of its full capability in the future. Collect data. 5 The CyTOF system is the first inorganic mass spectrometer (Analyzes 10 cells in four minutes, regardless of the number of tag elements.) specifically built for biologists and single cell applications. The inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer at its heart Data Analysis has been used extensively by analytical chemists and is proven in the quantification of elements and stable isotopes in a variety of complex matrices.

    Mass Cytometry (CyTOF): Modern way to analyse >40 markers on hundred thousands of cells on a single cell level using the Helios and Hyperion™ Imaging System Olga Karpus, PhD Field Applications Specialist, BeNeLux & Nordics [email protected] Cytometry the term "cytometry" can apply to any method used to extract quantitative information from individual cells, often antibody-based method. Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) Mass is an elemental analysis technology capable of Cytometry or detecting most of the periodic table of elements. It is CyTOF used in a variety of industries including, but not limited (Cytometry to, environmental monitoring, geochemical analysis, Time of metallurgy. Flight) Time of flight (TOF) detection in mass spectrometry. Origin of a term • Extremely low detection limits; • A large linear range • Possibilities to detect isotope composition of elements • High sample throughput – speed Using the atomic mass spectrum • 135 channels • >35 metal tags • Additional isotopes possible • Rare Lanthanides: • Nonbiological 13 metals, • Nonradioactive 35 isotopes Each vertical bar is a stable isotope that can be measured.
