Single-cell multi-omic integration compares and contrasts features of brain cell identity

ABSTRACT: To flexibly model single-cell datasets, we developed LIGER, an algorithm and software package that delineates shared and dataset-specific features of cell identity. We applied it to four diverse and challenging analyses of human and mouse brain cells, the first two of which include newly generated single-cell transcriptome datasets for mouse and human regions. First, we determined region-specific and sexually dimorphic gene expression in the mouse bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST). Second, we analyzed expression in the human substantia nigra (SN), integrating cell types across donors, and relating cell types to those in the mouse (using mouse SN data from Saunders et al., 2018 (GEO: GSE116470)). The main cell types identified include neurons, astrocytes, microglia, oligodendrocytes, polydendrocytes, and endothelial cells. Third, we jointly leveraged in situ and single-cell expression data to spatially locate fine subtypes of cells present in the mouse frontal cortex. Finally, we integrated mouse cortical single-cell RNA-seq and DNA methylation profiles, revealing mechanisms of cell-type-specific gene regulation. Integrative analyses using LIGER promise to accelerate investigations of cell-type definition, gene regulation, and disease states.

Single Nucleus Methylation Sequencing of Mouse Pituitary

Project description:The pituitary regulates growth, reproduction and other endocrine systems. To investigate transcriptional network epigenetic mechanisms, we generated paired single nucleus (sn) transcriptome and chromatin accessibility profiles in single mouse pituitaries, and genome-wide sn methylation datasets. Our analysis provided insight into cell type epigenetics, regulatory circuit and gene control mechanisms. Latent variable pathway analysis detected corresponding transcriptome and chromatin accessibility programs showing both inter-sexual and inter-individual variation. Multi-omics analysis of gene regulatory networks identified regulons whose composition and function within specific cell types were shaped by the promoter accessibility state of target genes. Co-accessibility analysis comprehensively identified putative cis-regulatory regions, including a domain upstream of Fshb that overlapped the fertility-linked rs11031006 human polymorphism; In vitro CRISPR-deletion at this locus increased Fshb levels, supporting this domain’s inferred regulatory role. The sn pituitary multi-omics atlas [link] is a public resource for elucidating cell-type specific gene regulatory mechanisms and principles of transcription circuit control. This GEO series contain raw (FASTQ) and processed data (ALLC) files for the sn methylation dataset generated by the snmC-seq2 method.

Single-nucleus multiomic mapping of m6A methylome and transcriptome in native populations of cells with sn-m6A-CT [scRNA-seq, scCUT&Tag]

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA modification plays important roles in the governance of gene expression and is temporally regulated in different cell states. In contrast to global m6A profiling in bulk sequencing, technologies for analyzing m6A heterogeneity across single-cells are not extensively established. Here, we report single-nucleus m6A CUT-Tag (sn-m6A-CT) for simultaneous profiling of m6A methylome and transcriptome within a single nucleus. m6A-CT is capable of enriching m6A-marked RNA molecules in situ, without isolating RNAs from cells, in a highly efficient manner. We adapted m6A-CT to the droplet-based single-cell omics platform and demonstrated high throughput performance in analyzing nuclei isolated from thousands of cells from various cell types. We show that sn-m6A-CT profiling is sufficient to determine cell identity and allows the generation of cell-type-specific m6A methylome landscapes from heterogeneous populations. Further, we exemplified the robust deconvolution capabilities in m6A heterogeneities with stem cells in multiple distinct pluripotency states. These indicate that sn-m6A-CT provides additional dimensions to multimodal datasets and new insights into epitranscriptomic landscape in defining cell fate identity and states.

Simultaneous profiling of 3D genome structure and DNA methylation in single human cells

Project description:Dynamic 3D chromatin conformation is a critical mechanism for gene regulation during development and disease. Despite this, profiling of 3D genome structure from complex tissues with cell-type specific resolution remains challenging. Recent efforts have demonstrated that cell-type specific epigenomic features can be resolved in complex tissues using single-cell assays. However, it remains unclear whether single-cell Chromatin Conformation Capture (3C) or Hi-C profiles can effectively identify cell types and reconstruct cell-type specific chromatin conformation maps. To address these challenges, we have developed single-nucleus methyl-3C sequencing (sn-m3C-seq) to capture chromatin organization and DNA methylation information and robustly separate heterogeneous cell types. Applying this method to >4,200 single human brain prefrontal cortex cells, we reconstruct cell-type specific chromatin conformation maps from 14 cortical cell types. These datasets reveal the genome-wide association between cell-type specific chromatin conformation and differential DNA methylation, suggesting pervasive interactions between epigenetic processes regulating gene expression.

Single-cell multi-omic profiling of chromatin conformation and DNA methylome

Project description:Recent advances in the development of single cell epigenomic assays have facilitated the analysis of the gene regulatory landscapes in complex biological systems. Single-cell variations of methods such as DNA methylation-sequencing and ATAC-seq hold tremendous promise for delineating distinct cell types and identifying their critical cis-regulatory sequences. Emerging evidence in recent years has shown that in addition to cis-regulatory sequences, dynamic regulation of 3D chromatin conformation is a critical mechanism for the modulation of gene expressions during development and disease. While assays for the investigation of single-cell 3D chromatin structure have been developed, cell-type specific chromatin conformation in primary human tissues has not been extensively explored. It remains unclear whether single-cell Chromatin Conformation Capture (3C) or Hi-C profiles are suitable for cell type identification and allow the reconstruction of cell-type specific chromatin conformation maps. To address these challenges, we have developed a multi-omic method single-nucleus methyl-3C sequencing (sn-m3C) to profile chromatin conformation and DNA methylation from the same cell. We have shown that bulk m3C and sn-m3C accurately capture chromatin organization information and robustly separate mouse cell types. We have developed a fluorescent-activated nuclei sorting strategy based on DNA content that eliminates nuclei multiplets caused by crosslinking. The sn-m3C-seq method allows high-resolution cell-type classification using two orthogonal types of epigenomic information and the reconstruction of cell-type specific chromatin conformation maps.

GSAP regulates mitochondrial function through Mitochondria-associated ER membrane in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease

Project description:Gamma-secretase activating protein (GSAP) plays an important role in regulating gamma-secretase activity and specificity, which contributes to the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Down syndrome. GSAP is expressed in a variety of cell types in the bain. To elucidate the molecular function of GSAP across different cell types in the brain, we performed single nuclei RNA sequencing (sn-RNAseq) on hippocampal tissues obtained from wildtype (WT) and GSAP knockout (GKO) mice. To further investigate the pathogenic function of GSAP in the AD progression, we also determined effects of GSAP gene deletion in the J20 AD mouse model through sn-RNAseq on hippocampal tissues obtained from J20;WT and J20;GKO mice.

Spatially resolved human kidney multi-omics single cell atlas highlights the key role of fibrotic microenvironment in kidney disease progression.

Project description:Kidneys possess come one of the most intricate three-dimensional cellular structures in the body, yet the spatial molecular principles of kidney health and disease remain inadequately understood. Here we generated high-quality single cell (sc), single nuclear (sn), spatial (sp) RNA expression and sn open chromatin datasets for 79 samples, capturing half a million cells from healthy, diabetic, and hypertensive diseased human kidneys. By combining the sn/sc and sp RNA data, we identify over 100 cell types and states and successfully map them back to their spatial locations. Computational deconvolution of spRNA-seq helps to identifies glomerular, tubular, immune, and fibrotic spatial microenvironments (FMEs). Although injured proximal tubule cells appear to be the nidus of fibrosis, we reveal the complex, heterogenous cellular and spatial organization of human FMEs, including the highly intricate and organized immune environment. We demonstrate the clinical utility of the FME spatial gene signature for the classification of a large number of human kidneys for disease severity and prognosis. We provide a comprehensive spatially-resolved molecular roadmap for the human kidney and the fibrotic process and demonstrate the clinical utility of spatial transcriptomics.

Single nucleus multi-omics regulatory atlas of the murine pituitary [snRNA-seq ]

Project description:The pituitary regulates growth, reproduction and other endocrine systems. To investigate transcriptional network epigenetic mechanisms in this gland, we generated paired single nucleus (sn) transcriptome and chromatin accessibility profiles in single mouse pituitaries, and genome-wide sn methylation datasets. Our analysis provided insight into cell type epigenetics, regulatory circuit and gene control mechanisms. Latent variable transcriptome and accessibility data representation resolved both inter-sexual and inter-individual variation in gene control programs. Multi-omics analysis of cell type-specific gene regulatory networks distinguished distinct mechanisms. Particularly, the FoxL2 gonadotrope network is controlled both by FoxL2 expression and by target gene epigenetic status. Co-accessibility analysis comprehensively identified putative regulatory regions, including a region that overlapped the fertility-linked rs11031006 human polymorphism. In vitro CRISPR-deletion at this locus increased Fshb levels, supporting this domain’s predicted regulatory role. The public pituitary atlas [link] is a resource for elucidating cell-type specific gene regulatory mechanisms and principles of transcription circuit control.
