Cellular composition and anatomical organization influence normal and aberrant organ functions. Emerging spatial single-cell proteomic assays such as Image Mass Cytometry (IMC) and Co-Detection by Indexing (CODEX) have facilitated the study of cellular composition and organization by enabling high-throughput measurement of cells and their localization directly in intact tissues. However, annotation of cell types and quantification of their relative localization in tissues remain challenging. To address these unmet needs, we developed AnnoSpat (Annotator and Spatial Pattern Finder) that uses neural network and point process algorithms to automatically identify cell types and quantify cell-cell proximity relationships. Our study of data from IMC and CODEX show the superior performance of AnnoSpat in rapid and accurate annotation of cell types compared to alternative approaches. Moreover, the application of AnnoSpat to type 1 diabetic, non-diabetic autoantibody-positive, and non-diabetic organ donor cohorts recapitulated known islet pathobiology and showed differential dynamics of pancreatic polypeptide (PP) cell abundance and CD8+ T cells infiltration in islets during type 1 diabetes progression.
