Single-cell transcriptomics of peripheral blood in the aging mouse.

ABSTRACT: Compositional and transcriptional changes in the hematopoietic system have been used as biomarkers of immunosenescence and aging. Here, we use single-cell RNA-sequencing to study the aging peripheral blood in mice and characterize the changes in cell-type composition and transcriptional profiles associated with age. We identified 17 clusters from a total of 14,588 single cells. We detected a general upregulation of antigen processing and presentation and chemokine signaling pathways and a downregulation of genes involved in ribosome pathways with age. In old peripheral blood, we also observed an increased percentage of cells expressing senescence markers (Cdkn1a, and Cdkn2a). In addition, we detected a cluster of activated T cells exclusively found in old blood, with lower expression of Cd28 and higher expression of Bcl2 and Cdkn2a, suggesting that the cells are senescent and resistant to apoptosis.

Single-cell transcriptomics of peripheral blood reveals anti-tumor systemic immunity induced by oncolytic virotherapy.

Project description:Rationale: Oncolytic virus (OV) therapy as a cancer therapy that improves immune status makes it a favorable candidate for optimizing immunotherapy strategies. Existing studies have focused on characterizing the disturbance of the tumor microenvironment (TME) by OV therapy. However, the changes in systemic immunity induced by OV were largely ignored, which would prevent the further understanding and optimization of oncolytic viruses. Methods: The HSV-2-based oncolytic virus OH2 was used to treat tumor-bearing mouse models. The peripheral blood samples were then collected for single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq). The scRNA-seq data were analyzed using Cell Ranger, Seurat, and other bioinformatics tools. Key findings were further validated by ELISA, immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry, in vivo experiments, and clinical samples. Results: Our data showed that OH2 therapy effectively activated systemic immunity and induced a sustained anti-tumor immune response. One major impact of OH2 on systemic immunity was to boost Ccl5 production, which correlated with clinical response. Besides, the cytotoxic ability of peripheral cytotoxic Cd8+ T cells and mature NK cells was elevated by OH2. Further analysis revealed that the interaction of monocytes with T cells and NK cells was critical for systemic immune remodeling and activation. We also found that systemic immune responses induced by OH2 could effectively reshape the microenvironment of distant tumor lesions and inhibit their progression. Conclusions: This study is the first to comprehensively characterize the effects of OV therapy on systemic immunity, which not only sheds new light on the anti-tumor mechanisms of OH2, but also contributes to the establishment of companion diagnostics for OH2 treatment and the improvement of oncolytic therapy strategies.

Single-cell transcriptomics identifies premature aging features of TERC-deficient mouse brain and bone marrow.

Project description:Aging is a progressive loss of physiological function and increased susceptibility to major pathologies. Degenerative diseases in both brain and bone including Alzheimer disease (AD) and osteoporosis are common in aging groups. TERC is RNA component of telomerase, and its deficiency accelerates aging-related phenotypes including impaired life span, organ failure, bone loss, and brain dysfunction. In this study, we investigated the traits of bone marrow-brain cross-tissue communications in young mice, natural aging mice, and premature aging (TERC deficient, TERC-KO) mice by single-cell transcriptome sequencing. Differentially expressed gene analysis of brain as well as bone marrow between premature aging mouse and young mouse demonstrated aging-related inflammatory response and suppression of neuron development. Further analysis of senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) landscape indicated that TERC-KO perturbation was enriched in oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) and hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPC). Series of inflammatory associated myeloid cells was activated in premature aging mice brain and bone marrow. Cross-tissue comparison of TERC-KO mice brain and bone marrow illustrated obvious ligand-receptor communications between brain glia cells, macrophages, and bone marrow myeloid cells in premature aging-induced inflammation. Enrichment of co-regulation modules between brain and bone marrow identified premature aging response genes such as Dusp1 and Ifitm3. Our study provides a rich resource for understanding premature aging-associated perturbation in brain and bone marrow and supporting myeloid cells and endothelial cells as promising therapy targeting for age-related brain-bone diseases.

Inferring Characteristics of the Tumor Immune Microenvironment of Patients with HNSCC from Single-Cell Transcriptomics of Peripheral Blood.

Project description:In this study, we explore the possibility of inferring characteristics of the tumor immune microenvironment from the blood. Specifically, we investigate two datasets of patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma with matched single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and tumor tissues. Our analysis shows that the immune cell fractions and gene expression profiles of various immune cells within the tumor microenvironment can be inferred from the matched PBMC scRNA-seq data. We find that the established exhausted T-cell signature can be predicted from the blood and serve as a valuable prognostic blood biomarker of immunotherapy response. Additionally, our study reveals that the inferred ratio between tumor memory B- and regulatory T-cell fractions is predictive of immunotherapy response and is superior to the well-established cytolytic and exhausted T-cell signatures. These results highlight the promising potential of PBMC scRNA-seq in cancer immunotherapy and warrant, and will hopefully facilitate, further investigations on a larger scale. The code for predicting tumor immune microenvironment from PBMC scRNA-seq, TIMEP, is provided, offering other researchers the opportunity to investigate its prospective applications in various other indications.SignificanceOur work offers a new and promising paradigm in liquid biopsies to unlock the power of blood single-cell transcriptomics in cancer immunotherapy.

Exploring the global immune landscape of peripheral blood mononuclear cells in H5N6-infected patient with single-cell transcriptomics.

Project description:BackgroundAvian influenza viruses (AIV), particularly H5N6, have risen in infection frequency, prompting major concerns. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) can illustrate the immune cell landscape present in the peripheral circulation of influenza H5N6-infected individuals at the single-cell level. This study attempted to employ scRNA-seq technology to map the potentially hidden single cell landscape of influenza H5N6.MethodsHigh-quality transcriptomes were generated from scRNA-seq data of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), which were taken from a critically-ill child diagnosed with H5N6 avian influenza infection and one healthy control donor. Cluster analysis was then performed on the scRNA-seq data to identify the different cell types. The pathways, pseudotime developmental trajectories and gene regulatory networks involved in different cell subpopulations were also explored.ResultsIn total, 3,248 single cell transcriptomes were captured by scRNA-seq from PBMC of the child infected with H5N6 avian influenza and the healthy control donor and further identified seven immune microenvironment cell types. In addition, a subsequent subpopulation analysis of innate lymphoid cells (ILC) and CD4+ T cells revealed that subpopulations of ILC and CD4+ T cells were involved in cytokine and inflammation-related pathways and had significant involvement in the biological processes of oxidative stress and cell death.ConclusionIn conclusion, characterizing the overall immune cell composition of H5N6-infected individuals by assessing the immune cell landscape in the peripheral circulation of H5N6 avian influenza-infected and healthy control donors at single-cell resolution provides key information for understanding H5N6 pathogenesis.

Adult mouse cortical cell taxonomy revealed by single cell transcriptomics.

Project description:Nervous systems are composed of various cell types, but the extent of cell type diversity is poorly understood. We constructed a cellular taxonomy of one cortical region, primary visual cortex, in adult mice on the basis of single-cell RNA sequencing. We identified 49 transcriptomic cell types, including 23 GABAergic, 19 glutamatergic and 7 non-neuronal types. We also analyzed cell type-specific mRNA processing and characterized genetic access to these transcriptomic types by many transgenic Cre lines. Finally, we found that some of our transcriptomic cell types displayed specific and differential electrophysiological and axon projection properties, thereby confirming that the single-cell transcriptomic signatures can be associated with specific cellular properties.

Cerebrospinal Fluid and Peripheral Blood Lymphomonocyte Single-Cell Transcriptomics in a Subject with Multiple Sclerosis Acutely Infected with HIV.

Project description:Signatures of neurodegeneration in clinical samples from a subject with multiple sclerosis (MS) acutely infected with HIV were investigated with single-cell transcriptomics using 10X Chromium technology. Sequencing was carried out on NovaSeq-TM, and the analysis was performed with Cell Ranger software (v 7.1.0) associated with a specifically established bioinformatic pipeline. A total of 1446 single-cell transcriptomes in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and 4647 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were obtained. In the CSF, many T-cell lymphocytes with an enriched amount of plasma cells and plasmacytoid dendritic (pDC) cells, as compared to the PBMCs, were detected. An unsupervised cluster analysis, putting together our patient transcriptomes with those of a publicly available MS scRNA-seq dataset, showed up-regulated microglial neurodegenerative gene expression in four clusters, two of which included our subject's transcriptomes. A few HIV-1 transcripts were found only in the CD4 central memory T-cells of the CSF compartment, mapping to the gag-pol, vpu, and env regions. Our data, which describe the signs of neurodegenerative gene expression in a very peculiar clinical situation, did not distinguish the cause between multiple sclerosis and HIV infection, but they can give a glimpse of the high degree of resolution that may be obtained by the single-cell transcriptomic approach.
