Evaluation of ultra-low input RNA sequencing for the study of human T cell transcriptome

ABSTRACT: Deeper understanding of T cell biology is crucial for the development of new therapeutics. Human naïve T cells have low RNA content and their numbers can be limiting; therefore we set out to determine the parameters for robust ultra-low input RNA sequencing. We performed transcriptome profiling at different cell inputs and compared three protocols: Switching Mechanism at 5’ End of RNA Template technology (SMART) with two different library preparation methods (Nextera (SMART_Nxt) and Clontech (SMART_CC)), and AmpliSeq technology. As the cell input decreased the number of detected coding genes decreased with SMART, while stayed constant with AmpliSeq. However, SMART enables detection of non-coding genes, which is not feasible for AmpliSeq. The detection is dependent on gene abundance, but not transcript length. The consistency between technical replicates and cell inputs was comparable across methods above 1K but highly variable at 100 cell input. Sensitivity of detection for differentially expressed genes decreased dramatically with decreased cell inputs in all protocols, support that additional approaches, such as pathway enrichment, are important for data interpretation at ultra-low input. Finally, T cell activation signature was detected at 1K cell input and above in all protocols, with AmpliSeq showing better detection at 100 cells.

Comprehensive analysis of RNA-seq kits for standard, low and ultra-low quantity samples

Project description:High-throughput RNA-sequencing has now become the gold standard method for whole-transcriptome gene expression analysis. It is widely used in a number of applications studying various transcriptomes of cells and tissues. It is also being increasingly considered for a number of clinical applications, including expression profiling for diagnostics or alternative transcripts detection. However, RNA sequencing can be challenging in some situations, for instance due to low input quantities or degraded RNA samples. Several protocols have been proposed to overcome some of these challenges, and many are available as commercial kits. Here we perform a comprehensive testing of three recent commercial technologies for RNA-seq library preparation (Truseq, Smarter and Smarter Ultra-Low) on human reference tissue preparations, for standard (1ug), low (100 and 10 ng) and ultra-low (< 1 ng) input quantities, and for mRNA and total RNA, stranded or unstranded. We analyze the results using read quality and alignments metrics, gene detection and differential gene expression metrics. Overall, we show that the Truseq kit performs well at 100 ng input quantity, while the Smarter kit shows degraded performances for 100 and 10 ng input quantities, and that the Smarter Ultra-Low kit performs quite well for input quantities < 1 ng. All the results are discussed in details, and we provide guidelines for the selection of a RNA-seq library preparation kits by biologists.

Benchmarking full-length transcript single cell mRNA sequencing protocols

Project description:Here we present a performance evaluation of three different plate-based scRNA-seq protocols. Two commercially available kits; NEBNext Single Cell/ Low Input RNA Library Prep Kit (NEB), SMART-seq HT kit (Takara), and non-commercially available protocol Genome & transcriptome sequencing (G&T). We evaluated each kit based upon sensitivity, reproducibility, ease of use and price point per cell. This evaluation is specifically relevant for implementation of scRNA-seq in e.g. diagnostics, requiring high sensitivity in regards of gene detection, high reproducibility between samples, minimum hands on time and smooth sample preparation for technicians, as well as keeping a reasonable price point per patient. G&T protocol delivered the highest detection of genes per single cell, at the absolute lowest price point. Takara's kit delivered likewise high gene detection per single cell, and high reproducibility between sample, however at the absolute highest price points. Here we present pros and cons of each protocol, sequencing breast cancer cell line T47D.

In situ-synthesized novel microarray optimized for mouse stem cell and early developmental expression profiling: Part 3

Project description:E12.5 mouse whole embryos and placentas were pooled within 3 litters and total RNA was extracted. Fluorescently-labeled, linearly-amplified cRNA targets were prepared from the RNA samples at various input levels. A "full-scale" reference was prepared using the standard input level of 6.0 ug total RNA, and one round of amplification was performed with 250 ng and 50 ng total RNA inputs. For 10 ng and 2 ng inputs, two rounds of amplification were used. Targets were compared on a microarray platform designed for this test using a "dye-swapped" experimental design, and sets of significantly differential genes were compared to the full scale reference's list to determine specificity and sensitivity in terms of detection of significant expression differences.

RNA-seq of euploid versus aneuploid human embryo trophectoderm biopsies

Project description:Embryos classified as euploid or aneuploid by PGT-A were re-biopsied and processed for RNA-Seq using a commercial kit (Takara Bio, USA, SMART-Seq v4 Ultra Low Input RNA Kit for Sequencing) following the user manual. The resulting cDNAs were converted to libraries using a Nextera XT kit (Illumina, USA), with a modified protocol according to SMART-Seq v4 user manual. These libraries were pooled and sequenced using a NextSeq 550 instrument (Illumina, USA) with a MidOutput cartridge at 2x75 cycles. The sequencing reads in Fastq files were down-sampled to 6M total reads, aligned to the human genome assembly (hg38), and the number of transcripts per million (TPM) was determined using the CLC Genomics Workbench 12 (Qiagen, USA).

Cell-free DNA methylome profiling by MBD-seq with ultra-low input

Project description:Here, we report an enrichment-based ultra-low input cfDNA methylation profiling method using methyl-CpG binding proteins capture, termed cfMBD-seq. We optimized the conditions of cfMBD capture by adjusting the amount of MethylCap protein along with using methylated filler DNA. Our data showed that cfMBD-seq performs equally to the standard MBD-seq (>1000 ng input) even when using 1 ng DNA as the input. cfMBD-seq demonstrated equivalent sequencing data quality as well as similar methylation profile when compared to cfMeDIP-seq. We showed that cfMBD-seq outperforms cfMeDIP-seq in the enrichment of CpG islands. This new bisulfite-free ultra-low input methylation profiling technology has a great potential in non-invasive and cost-effective cancer detection and classification.

Evaluation of methods for amplification of picogram amounts of total RNA for whole genome expression profiling

Project description:For more than a decade, microarrays have been a powerful and widely used tool to explore the transcriptome of biological systems. However, the amount of biological material from cell sorting or laser capture microdissection is much too small to perform microarray studies. To address this issue, RNA amplification methods have been developed to generate sufficient targets from picogram amounts of total RNA to perform microarray hybridisation. In this study, four commercial protocols for amplification of picograms amounts of input RNA for microarray expression profiling were evaluated and compared. The quantitative and qualitative performances of the methods were assessed. Microarrays were hybridised with the amplified targets and the amplification protocols were compared with respect to the quality of expression profiles, reproducibility within a concentration range of input RNA, and sensitivity. Four commercial protocols for amplification of picograms amounts of input RNA for microarray expression profiling were evaluated and compared. For each protocol, one RNA amplification was performed from 250 pg, and one from 500 pg of human universal RNA by two operators in two independent laboratories and compared to the amplified aRNA obtained from 2 µg and 100 ng RNA inputs following the standard protocol proposed by Affymetrix. A negative control (amplification without total RNA) and a positive control (if available) were included in each experimental batch. Samples indicating 50, 100, and 1000 pg RNA inputs correspond to 3 additional quantities of total RNA used to synthesise the cDNA target using the nugen protocol for comparison (250, 500 pg + 50, 100, 1000 pg).
