Improved SALP-seq method for construct next-generation sequencing library of cell free DNA

ABSTRACT: Cell free DNA (cfDNA) in human plasma carries abundant information on physiological condition, especially in cancer patients such as esophageal cancer. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) as a rapidly developed technology could decode the information effectively. As a key step of NGS, using existing methods to construct cfDNA sequencing libraries is limited by several shortcomings. In this study, we developed a new NGS library construction method for highly degraded DNA, cfDNA as example, based on Single strand Adaptor Library Preparation (SALP). With the high ligation efficiency of single strand adaptor (SSA) which overhangs 3 random bases at 3' end of a double-strand DNA, the new method could construct the sequencing library with high sensitivity without using specific enzymes except T4 DNA ligase and Taq polymerase. With the special designed barcode T adaptor (BTA), multiple libraries constructed from different samples can be amplified in unbiased strategy and facility to compare. Using this method, this study successfully sequenced and compared totally 20 cfDNA samples derived from esophageal cancer patients and healthy people in whole genome scale. This study also compared the chromatin state between cancer patients and healthy people using cfDNA, identified the significant difference between different health condition. Our findings extend the application of cfDNA beyond the analysis with degraded DNA fragments itself, to the transcription regulation level, which also provide an important clue for biopsy of esophageal cancer and other diseases.

SALP, a new NGS library construction method especially useful for the high-throughput characterization of chromatin openness states

Project description:Background: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is fundamental to the current biological and biomedical research. Construction of sequencing library is a key step of NGS. Therefore, various library construction methods have been explored. However, the current methods are still limited by some shortcomings. Results: This study developed a new NGS library construction method, Single strand Adaptor Library Preparation (SALP), by using a novel single strand adaptor (SSA). SSA is a double-stranded oligonucleotide with a 3ʹ overhang of 3 random nucleotides, which can be efficiently ligated to the 3′ end of single strand DNA by T4 DNA ligase. SALP can be started with any denatured DNA fragments such as those sheared by Tn5 tagmentation, enzyme digestion and sonication. When started with Tn5-tagmented chromatin, SALP can overcome a key limitation of ATAC-seq and become a high-throughput NGS library construction method, SALP-seq, which can be used to comparatively characterize the chromatin openness state of multiple cells unbiasly. In this way, this study successfully characterized the comparative chromatin openness states of four different cell lines, including GM12878, HepG2, HeLa and 293T, with SALP-seq. Similarly, this study also successfully characterized the chromatin openness states of HepG2 cells with SALP-seq by using 105 to 500 cells. Conclusions: This study developed a new NGS library construction method, SALP, by using a novel kind of single strand adaptor (SSA), which should has wide applications in the future due to its unique performance.

Elucidating the microRNA-203 specific biological processes in glioblastoma cells from comprehensive high-throughput RNA-sequencing transcriptome profiling

Project description:We report the application of high-throughput RNA-sequencing Profile of miR-203 expressing glioma U251 cells. Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common primary malignant intracranial adult brain tumor. Allelic deletion on chromosome 14q plays an essential role in GBM pathogenesis, and this chromosome 14q site was thought to harbor multiple tumor suppressor genes associated with GBM, a region that also encodes microRNA-203 (miR-203). This study was conducted to identify whole transcriptome profile changes associated with miR-203 expression by high-throughput NGS-RNA sequencing. Total RNA samples are quantified using Nanodrop and qualified by agarose gel electrophoresis. The mRNA is enriched by oligo(dT) magnetic beads or the total RNA is depleted of rRNAs by Arraystar rRNA Removal Kit if the RNA sample is degraded or is of prokaryotic origin. We use Illumina kits for the RNA-seq library preparation, which include procedures of RNA fragmentation, random hexamer primed first strand cDNA synthesis, dUTP based second strand cDNA synthesis, end-repairing, A-tailing, adaptor ligation and library PCR amplification. Finally, the prepared RNA-seq libraries are qualified using Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer and quantified by qPCR absolute quantification method. The sequencing is performed using Illumina Hiseq 4000.

Genome-wide plasma cell-free DNA methylation profiling in lung cancer patients using MeDIP-seq

Project description:As a non-invasive blood testing, the detection of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) methylation in plasma is raising increasing interest due to its diagnostic and biology applications. Although extensively used in cfDNA methylation analysis, bisulfite sequencing is less cost-effective. Through enriching methylated cfDNA fragments with MeDIP followed by deep sequencing, we aimed to characterize cfDNA methylome in cancer patients. In this study, we investigated the cfDNA methylation patterns in lung cancer patients by MeDIP-seq. MEDIPS package was used for the identification of differentially methylated regions (DMRs) between patients and normal ones. Overall, we identified 330 differentially methylated regions (DMRs) in gene promoter regions, 33 hypermethylation and 297 hypomethylation respectively, by comparing lung cancer patients and healthy individuals as controls. The 33 hypermethylation regions represent 32 genes. Some of the genes had been previously reported to be associated with lung cancers, such as GAS7, AQP10, HLF, CHRNA9 and HOPX. Taken together, our study provided an alternative method of cfDNA methylation analysis in lung cancer patients with potential clinical applications.

Splinted Ligation Adapter Tagging, a novel library preparation for whole genome bisulphite sequencing

Project description:Library preparation for whole genome bisulphite sequencing (WGBS) is challenging due to side effects of the bisulphite treatment, which leads to extensive DNA damage. Recently, a new generation of methods for bisulphite sequencing library preparation have been devised. They are based on initial bisulphite treatment of the DNA, followed by adaptor tagging of single stranded DNA fragments, and enable WGBS using low quantities of input DNA. In this study, we present a novel approach for quick and cost effective WGBS library preparation that is based on splinted adaptor tagging (SPLAT) of bisulphite-converted single-stranded DNA. Moreover, we validate SPLAT against three commercially available WGBS library preparation techniques, two of which are based on bisulphite treatment prior to adaptor tagging and one is a conventional WGBS method.

Cell-free DNA 5-hydroxymethylcytosine as a marker for common cancer detection

Project description:We used a highly sensitive nano-5hmC-Seal method and profiled the genome-wide distribution of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) in plasma cell-free DNA (cfDNA) from 384 patients with bladder, breast, colorectal, kidney, lung, or prostate cancer and 221 controls. We used machine learning and developed plasma cfDNA 5hmC signatures that are highly sensitive for cancer detection and cancer origin determination. We also identified genes and signaling pathways with aberrant DNA hydroxymethylation in six cancers.

Genome-wide analysis of DNA replication and double strand breaks by TrAEL-seq

Project description:We have designed a methodology for capture of DNA 3’ ends that allows mapping of resected DNA breaks, stalled replication forks and also normal replication fork progression. This Transferase-activated end ligation or TrAEL-seq method involves ligation of a functionalised linker to DNA 3’ ends followed by fragmentation, purification of adaptor ligated fragments, second adaptor ligation and library amplification. The major advantages of TrAEL-seq compared to other available methods are: i) an ability to map double strand breaks after resection, ii) excellent sensitivity and signal-to-noise in detecting replication fork stalling and iii) ability to map replication fork progression in unsynchronised, unlabelled populations of both yeast and mammalian cells. The samples provided here were selected to demonstrate different aspects of TrAEL-seq activity: the SfiI and dmc1 datasets shows capture of 3’ extended single strand DNA. The other yeast datasets show replication and replication fork stalling information. The RAF and RAF-GAL grown yeast samples show the effect transcriptional induction on replication fork progression. The hESC samples show the capacity to derive replication profiles from mammalian cells.

Mapping Transcription Factor Nucleosome Dynamics in Plasma

Project description:Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) contains a composite map of the epigenomes of its cells-of-origin. Tissue-specific TF binding inferred from cfDNA could enable us to track disease states in humans in a non-invasive manner. Here, we present a method to identify the subset of genome-wide transcription factor binding sites that are protected in plasma. We map binding at tissue-specific sites of constitutive factor CTCF and tissue-specific factors PU.1, LYL1, ER, and FOXA1 in plasma cfDNA. Our method also captures the chromatin structure around the factor-bound sites in their cells-of-origin. We define pure tumor TF signatures in an in vivo model by applying our method to estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer xenografts. The tumor-specific cfDNA protections of ER-α and FOXA1 reflect TF-specific accessibility across human breast tumors, demonstrating our ability to capture tumor TF binding in plasma. By modeling cfDNA from cancer donors as a mixture of healthy plasma and pure tumor signatures, we can identify tumor TF binding in humans. Thus, our method enables non-invasive mapping of the regulatory phenotype of cancer in humans.

Project description:Aims: Cancer is an important public health problem worldwide. In recent years, methods based on the analysis of plasma cfDNA which is as an emerging technology have been largely explored for noninvasive prenatal testing and cancer liquid biopsy. We inferred both epigenetic and genetic biomarkers of esophageal cancer (ESCA) in cfDNA with adapted SALP-seq. Materials & methods: Next Generation Sequencing libraries of cfDNA samples from ESCA patients and healthy people were constructed by using SALP-seq. We performed bioinformatics analysis on our sequencing data to find cancer-specific biomarkers. Results & conclusion: 54 important regulatory elements of ESCA, 49 epigenetic and 37 genetic ESCA-specific genes were inferred in cfDNA with SALP-seq, which may ultimately contribute to the development of effective diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for ESCA.

Genome-scale DNA methylation analysis of tissue-of-origin of plasma cell-free DNA

Project description:Current methods for mapping the tissue-of-origin of circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) are still insufficient. Here, we have extended a previously developed methylated CpG tandems amplification and sequencing (MCTA-Seq) method for quantitative analysis of tissue-of-origin of plasma cfDNA. By comparing paired plasma cfDNA and white blood cell genomic DNA, we have demonstrated that the liver is the major non-hematopoietic tissue contributing to plasma cfDNA in healthy adults, accounting for approximately 2%. Furthermore, we have detected changes in liver-derived DNA in patients with benign liver diseases and increases in pancreas-derived DNA in acute pancreatitis patients. Interestingly, our results suggest that DNA derived from pathological tissues makes a minor contribution to the increased cfDNA in many clinical cases. Finally, we have identified a tissue-specific hypermethylated cfDNA marker located in the intragenic regions of tissue-specifichighlyexpressed genes. This study represents valuable progress in the field of cfDNA and offers promise for clinical research and medical diagnostics using the described method.
