Modern technologies designed for tissue structure visualization like brightfield microscopy, fluorescent microscopy, mass cytometry imaging (MCI) and mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) provide large amounts of quantitative and spatial information about cells and tissue structures like vessels, bronchioles etc. Many published reports have demonstrated that the structural features of cells and extracellular matrix (ECM) and their interactions strongly predict disease development and progression. Computational image analysis methods in combination with spatial analysis and machine learning can reveal novel structural patterns in normal and diseased tissue. Here, we have developed a Python package designed for integrated analysis of cells and ECM in a spatially dependent manner. The package performs segmentation, labeling and feature analysis of ECM fibers, combines this information with pre-generated single-cell based datasets and realizes cell-cell and cell-fiber spatial analysis. To demonstrate performance and compatibility of our computational tool, we integrated it with a pipeline designed for cell segmentation, classification, and feature analysis in the KNIME analytical platform. For validation, we used a set of mouse mammary gland tumors and human lung adenocarcinoma tissue samples stained for multiple cellular markers and collagen as the main ECM protein. The developed package provides sufficient performance and precision to be used as a novel method to investigate cell-ECM relationships in the tissue, as well as detect structural patterns correlated with specific disease outcomes. |
