Description
The mammalian liver consists of hexagonal-shaped lobules, radially polarized by blood flow and morphogens. Key liver genes have been shown to be differentially expressed along the lobule axis, a phenomenon termed zonation, but a detailed genome-wide reconstruction of this spatial division of labor has not been achieved. Here we measure the whole transcriptome of thousands of single mouse liver cells and infer their lobule coordinates using a panel of zonated landmark genes, characterized with single-molecule FISH. We obtain a genome-wide reconstruction of liver zonation profiles with unprecedented spatial resolution. We find that more than 50% of liver genes are significantly zonated and uncover abundant non-monotonic profiles that peak at the mid-lobule layers. Our approach can facilitate reconstruction of similar spatial genomic blueprints for other mammalian organs. Overall design: mRNA profiles from single cells extracted from mouse liver were generated by deep sequencing of 1736 of single cells, sequenced in several batches in an Illumina NextSeq.
