Type Classification

AbstractConvolutional neural networks (ConvNets) have been used for both classification and semantic segmentation of cellular images. Here we establish a method for cell type classification utilizing images taken on a benchtop microscope directly from cell culture flasks eliminating the need for a dedicated imaging platform. Significant flask-to-flask heterogeneity was discovered and overcome to support network generalization to novel data. Cell density was found to be a prominent source of heterogeneity even within the single-cell regime indicating the presence of morphological effects due to diffusion-mediated cell-cell interaction. Expert classification was poor for single-cell images and excellent for multi-cell images suggesting experts rely on the identification of characteristic phenotypes within subsets of each population and not ubiquitous identifiers. Finally we introduce Self-Label Clustering, an unsupervised clustering method relying on ConvNet feature extraction able to identify distinct morphological phenotypes within a cell type, some of which are observed to be cell density dependent.Author summaryK.Y., N.D.R., and S.X.S. designed experiments and computational analysis.

We present the use of single-cell entropy (scEntropy) to measure the order of the cellular transcriptome profile from single-cell RNA-seq data, which leads to a method of unsupervised cell type classification through scEntropy followed by the Gaussian mixture model (scEGMM). scEntropy is straightforward in defining an intrinsic transcriptional state of a cell. scEGMM is a coherent method of cell type classification that includes no parameters and no clustering; however, it is comparable to existing machine learning-based methods in benchmarking studies and facilitates biological interpretation.

Abstract Convolutional neural networks (ConvNets) have proven to be successful in both the classification and semantic segmentation of cell images. Here we establish a method for cell type classification utilizing images taken with a benchtop microscope directly from cell culture flasks, eliminating the need for a dedicated imaging platform. Significant flask-to-flask morphological heterogeneity was discovered and overcome to support network generalization to novel data. Cell density was found to be a prominent source of heterogeneity even when cells are not in contact. For the same cell types, expert classification was poor for single-cell images and better for multi-cell images, suggesting experts rely on the identification of characteristic phenotypes within subsets of each population. We also introduce Self-Label Clustering (SLC), an unsupervised clustering method relying on feature extraction from the hidden layers of a ConvNet, capable of cellular morphological phenotyping. This clustering approach is able to identify distinct morphological phenotypes within a cell type, some of which are observed to be cell density dependent. Finally, our cell classification algorithm was able to accurately identify cells in mixed populations, showing that ConvNet cell type classification can be a label-free alternative to traditional cell sorting and identification.

AbstractCell type classification is an important problem in cancer research, especially with the advent of single cell technologies. Correctly identifying cells within the tumor microenvironment can provide oncologists with a snapshot of how a patient’s immune system is reacting to the tumor. Wide deep learning (WDL) is an approach to construct a cell-classification prediction model that can learn patterns within high-dimensional data (deep) and ensure that biologically relevant features (wide) remain in the final model. In this paper, we demonstrate that the use of regularization can prevent overfitting and adding a wide component to a neural network can result in a model with better predictive performance. In particular, we observed that a combination of dropout and ℓ2 regularization can lead to a validation loss function that does not depend on the number of training iterations and does not experience a significant decrease in prediction accuracy compared to models with ℓ1, dropout, or no regularization. Additionally, we show WDL can have superior classification accuracy when the training and testing of a model is completed data on that arise from the same cancer type, but from different platforms. More specifically, WDL compared to traditional deep learning models can substantially increase the overall cell type prediction accuracy (41 to 90%) and T-cell sub-types (CD4: 0 to 76%, and CD8: 61 to 96%) when the models were trained using melanoma data obtained from the 10X platform and tested on basal cell carcinoma data obtained using SMART-seq.

The cell is the basic functional and biological unit of life, and a complex system that contains a huge number of molecular components. How can we quantify the macroscopic state of a cell from the microscopic information of these molecular components? This is a fundamental question to increase the understanding of the human body. The recent maturation of single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) technologies has allowed researchers to gain information on the transcriptomes of individual cells. Although considerable progress has been made in terms of cell-type clustering over the past few years, there is no strong consensus about how to define a cell state from scRNA-seq data. Here, we present single-cell entropy (scEntropy) as an order parameter for cellular transcriptome profiles from scRNA-seq data. scEntropy is a straightforward parameter with which to define the intrinsic transcriptional state of a cell that can provide a quantity to measure the developmental process and to distinguish different cell types. The proposed scEntropy followed by Gaussian mixture model (scEGMM) provides a coherent method of cell-type classification that is simple, includes no parameters or clustering and is comparable to existing machine learning-based methods in benchmarking studies. The results of cell-type classification based on scEGMM are robust and easy to biologically interpret.

Langerhans cells of mammalian stratified squamous epithelial have proven to be an enigma since their discovery in 1868. These dendritic suprabasal cells have been considered as related to melanocytes either as effete cells, or as post divisional products. Although grafting experiments seemed to demonstrate the independence of the cell types, much confusion still exists. The presence in the epidermis of a cell type with morphological features seemingly shared by melanocytes and Langerhans cells has been especially troublesome. This so called "indeterminate", or " -dendritic cell" lacks both Langerhans cells granules and melanosomes, yet it is clearly not a keratinocyte. Suggestions have been made that it is related to either Langerhans cells or melanocyte. Recent studies have unequivocally demonstrated that Langerhans cells are independent cells with immune function. They display Fc and C3 receptors on their surface as well as la (immune region associated) antigens.
