Similar I guess to issue #78, I'm trying to use sopa to do histocymetry-like protocol with a one-round classic IF tissue staining. I have confocal image with 4 channels, I want to use cellpose with one channel (e.g. CH3) and would like to get the average intensity info of the other channels based on that segmentation. Then use the different levels of fluorescence to assign cell labels, cells will have combinations of CH1+CH2 or CH4+CH2 or single CH4 and CH1 with no CH2 intensity.

What would your workflow advice on going through this?

I tested the following code, but I guess the way I'm doing it is trying to look for cells with either of the markers and not taking into account double positives.

I'm still troubleshooting the min_area in the segmentation method, do you have a recommendation for this based on the diameter passed to cellpose?

Hello @cstrlln, thanks for the very detailed issue, your code is looking good!

Indeed the higher_z_score function is very simple, and does not take into account double positives. Still, after running this function, it will save z-scores for each marker into adata.obsm["z_scores"], and you can probably use this with a simple rule to annotate your cell-types (by saying that the marker is positive if z_score > 0). You can also directly run sopa.annotate.preprocess_fluo to directly get the z-scores.
What I just described is a very simple approach, but it might work. If it doesn't look convincing, you can try more complex approaches such as using scyan (in that case, since you have imaging data, I advise to set prior_std=0.8 or prior_std=1 when initializing the model).

Regarding the min_area variable, I think that you can start with something like diameter ** 2 / 2 or diameter ** 2 / 3. I may add this as a default value in the future

Thanks! Interesting, I will look into scyan. I also use spectral flow so could be pretty helpful.

I'm not that familiar with python structures but after checking with a chatbot, it looks like the issue was the coordinate being labelled as 'Z' and the function was looking for 'z'?

This is what the data looked like

So I did this:

image_data = sdata.images['image'] 

# Iterate over the scale levels and rename the 'Z' axis at each level
for scale_level in image_data:
    image_data[scale_level] = image_data[scale_level].rename({"Z": "z"})

and then it worked.

Is this issue because the way the image was imported? or the reader? Was there a way to avoid this issue?

also, just noticed the z_scores are empty:

# Access the z_scores from the table (which is AnnData)

Regarding the issue about the "Z" axis, this is an issue of the reader. I'll update it to drop the Z axis (since it contains only one element), or at least rename it to "z".

Concerning the z-scores, can you check that table.obsm['z_scores'] is right? I think the error came when you created a DataFrame: can you try the opposite index/columns, i.e. pd.DataFrame(z_scores, index=table.obs.index, columns=table.var.index)?

Yep, it was that for z_scores, the transposed values were the issue when trying to use pd.DataFrame.

How can I access the raw intensity values? I guess I would need this for scyan?

and where is the cellpose mask or segmentation stored? would like to check the segmentation more closely

@quentinblampey

This depends on the technology you have:

  • If you don't have transcripts, the intensities are stored in adata.X
  • If you have spatial transcriptomics and run transcript count, then adata.X contains raw transcript counts, and the intensities are in adata.obsm["intensities"]

Note that, for each channel, we average its intensity inside the cells boundaries, so the intensities are float values.

For cellpose, we save the segmentation as polygons instead of masks, because masks can be very heavy in term of memory/storage. They can be found in the spatialdata object, at sdata["cellpose_boundaries"], which is a GeoPandas Dataframe. If you want to visualize these boundaries in Python directly, you can use spatialdata-plot

Hope this helps!

Great, thanks for the responses.

Just to be sure, for the case of protein only, I can take the intensities from adata.X, export this as a csv and then input this in scyan?

Would it be possible to go back to sopa once I have obtained the cell label identities? for doing spatial analysis.

I know that this is out of the scope of sopa, but figuring out how to work with protein only cases would be useful. Could you suggest an outline how to proceed?

In any case I think this closes the original issue.

Actually you don't even need to export adata.X as a csv, because Scyan already works on anndata objects, so you can simply follow the Scyan tutorials on your adata object.

In particular, you can skip the "loading a FCS/CSV" section, and directly start at this preprocessing step (I think asinh normalization should be fine for your type of data, but don't hesitate to try other transformations like sc.pp.log1p or others parameters). Then, you can create a "knowledge" table, this is basically a csv that looks like this (if I understood your annotation rule correctly):


ct,CH1,CH2,CH4
A,1,1,-1
B,-1,1,1
C,1,-1,-1
D,-1,-1,1

Then you can train Scyan according to this tutorial, but since you have fluorescence data I advise to try a high prior_std when creating a model, e.g. scyan.Scyan(adata, table, prior_std=1)

I'm closing the issue, but don't hesitate to let me know and ask other questions if you need more help!

Thanks, I'll give this a try!

Sorry going back to this I noticed this was not unswered: how best to go back to sopa once cell identities are obtained.

Hi, usually sopa is used as a preprocessing step, and scyan can be used afterwards for cell annotation. Normally, you don't need sopa afterwards.

Still, note that both scyan and sopa works on the same anndata object, so you can seamlessly use both libraries one after the other. Here is some pseudo-code:

# run sopa
sdata = ...

adata = sdata["table"]
table = pd.read_csv("...", index_col=0) # read your knowledge table
model = scyan.Scyan(adata, table, prior_std=1)
model.fit()
model.predict()

# now, adata is updated, as well as sdata which contains the adata object inside sdata["table"]

But if you run Scyan separately and that you saved your anndata object somewhere else, you'll need to update the table from your spatialdata object (i.e. sdata["table"] = adata, where adata is the AnnData object on which you run your annotation), and then continue with sopa.

If you need to see the cell-types from Scyan inside the Xenium Explorer, then you can use this function, or follow this tutorial.
