Characterizing the temporal dynamics of gene expression in single cells with sci-fate

ABSTRACT: Gene expression is a dynamic process on multiple scales, e.g. the cell cycle, response to stimuli, normal differentiation and development, etc. However, nearly all techniques for profiling gene expression in single cells fail to directly capture these temporal dynamics, which limits the scope of biology that can be effectively investigated. Towards addressing this, we developed sci-fate, a new technique that combines S4U labeling of newly synthesized mRNA with single cell combinatorial indexing (sci-), in order to concurrently profile the whole and newly synthesized transcriptome in each of many single cells. As a proof-of-concept, we applied sci-fate to a model system of cortisol response, and characterized expression dynamics in over 6,000 single cells. From these data, we quantify the dynamics of the cell cycle and of glucocorticoid receptor activation, while also exploring their intersection. We furthermore use these data to develop a framework for estimating cell state transition probabilities, and to identify factors whose dynamic expression potentially regulates these transitions. The experimental and computational methods described here may be broadly applicable to quantitatively characterize cell state dynamics in in vitro systems.

NASC-seq monitors RNA synthesis in single cells

Project description:Sequencing of newly synthesized RNA can monitor transcriptional dynamics with great sensitivity and high temporal resolution, but is currently restricted to populations of cells. Here, we develop new transcriptome alkylation-dependent single-cell RNA sequencing (NASC-seq), to monitor newly synthesized and pre-existing RNA in single cells. We validate the method on pre-alkylated RNA, and by demonstrating that more newly synthesized RNA was detected for genes with known high mRNA turnover. NASC-seq reveals rapidly up- and down-regulated genes during T-cell activation, and RNA arising from induced genes is essentially only newly synthesized. The newly synthesized and pre-existing transcriptomes after T-cell activation are distinct, confirming that we simultaneously measure gene expression at two time points in single cells. Altogether, NASC-seq is an accessible and powerful tool to investigate transcriptional dynamics that enables the precise monitoring of RNA synthesis at flexible time periods during homeostasis, perturbation responses and cellular differentiation.

Flexible and scalable control of T cell memory by a reversible epigenetic switch (sci-fate-seq)

Project description:In this study, we use a minimal ex vivo culture system to track CD8 T cell differentiation at the single cell and clonal lineage level during activation. To characterize early heterogeneity in memory and effector differentiation in this system, we subjected cells to temporally-resolved single-cell transcriptomic profiling using sci-fate-seq (Cao et al., Nature Biotech, 202).

Sci-Space E14 Mouse Embryo Data

Project description:Spatial patterns of gene expression span many scales, and are shaped by both local (e.g. cell-cell interactions) and global (e.g. tissue, organ) context. However, most in situ methods for profiling gene expression either average local contexts or are restricted to limited fields of view. Here we introduce sci-Space, a scale-flexible method that retains single cell resolution while resolving spatial heterogeneity in gene expression at larger scales. As a proof-of-concept, we apply sci-Space to the developing mouse embryo (E14), capturing the approximate spatial coordinates of profiled cells from whole embryo serial sections.

Large-scale multiplexed profiling of mouse kidney fibrogenesis with sci-RNA-seq3

Project description:We employed single-cell combinatorial indexing RNA-seq (sci-RNA-seq), a scRNA-seq technology with high throughput, high sample multiplexing capacity and low costs, to decipher the molecular events involved in mouse kidney fibrogenesis. With the hypothesis that different types of kidney insults may lead to distinct cellular injury responses, we leveraged sci-RNA-seq to profile mouse kidneys collected from two mouse kidney fibrogenesis models, unilateral ischemia-reperfusion injury (uni-IRI) and unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO), at multiple stages. We described an atlas of kidney fibrogenesis (available at http://humphreyslab.com/SingleCell/) with a total of 309,666 cells profiled from 11 biological conditions and 24 samples in one experiment. We discovered that uni-IRI and UUO produced two types of early-stage injured PT cells with different transcriptomic signature. Further investigation on the two cell states highlighted their distinct mechanisms of metabolic regulation. Analysis of other structures of TECs revealed a common cellular response to injury and repair. In addition, we described the heterogeneity within kidney stroma and the dynamics of cell-cell communications in kidney fibrogenesis.

Profiling immunological phenotypes in individuals during the first year after traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI): a longitudinal analysis

Project description:Individuals with SCI are severely affected by immune system changes, resulting in a SCI-induced immune deficiency syndrome (SCI-IDS). While recent data support that acute SCI-IDS symptoms differ from those present in the chronic phase, only limited data in humans is available. To characterize dynamic molecular and cellular immune phenotypes over the first year, we assess RNA (bulk-RNA sequencing), protein, and flow cytometry (FACS) profiles of blood samples from 12 individuals with SCI at 0-3 days and at 3, 6, and 12 months post injury (MPI) compared to 23 uninjured individuals (controls). We identified 967 differentially expressed (DE) genes in individuals with SCI (FDR<0.001) compared to controls. Within the first 6 MPI we detected a reduced expression of NK cell genes, consistent with reduced frequencies of CD56bright, CD56dim NK cells present at 12 MPI. Over 6MPI, we observed increased and prolonged expression of genes associated with inflammation (e.g. HMGB1, Toll-like receptor signaling) and expanded frequencies of monocytes acutely. Canonical T-cell related DE genes (e.g. FOXP3, TCF7, CD4) were upregulated during the first 6 MPI and increased frequencies of activated T cells at 3-12 MPI were observed. Neurological injury severity was reflected in distinct whole blood gene expression profiles at any time after SCI, indicating a persistent ‘neurogenic’ imprint. Overall, 2876 DE genes emerge when comparing profiles of motor complete to motor incomplete SCI (ANOVA, FDR<0.05), including genes related to neutrophils, inflammation, and infection. In summary, we identify dynamic SCI-IDS determinants in humans, including molecular and cellular profiles, which may provide potential targets to reduce inflammation, improve immunity, or serve as candidate biomarkers of injury severity.

Improving the study of RNA dynamics through advances in RNA-seq with metabolic labeling and nucleotide-recoding chemistry

Project description:RNA metabolic labeling using 4-thiouridine (s4U) can be used to capture the dynamics of RNA synthesis and decay. The power of this approach is dependent on appropriate quantification of labeled and unlabeled sequencing reads, which can be compromised by the apparent loss of s4U-labeled reads in a process we refer to as dropout. Here we show that s4U-containing transcripts can be selectively lost when RNA samples are handled under sub-optimal conditions, but that this loss can be minimized using an optimized protocol. We demonstrate a second cause of dropout in nucleotiderecoding and RNA sequencing (NR-seq) experiments that is computational and downstream of library preparation. NR-seq experiments involve chemically converting s4U from a uridine analog to a cytidine analog and the apparent T-to-C mutations are then used to identify the populations of newly synthesized RNA. We show that high levels of T-to-C mutations can prevent read alignment with some computational pipelines, but that this bias can be overcome using improved alignment pipelines. Importantly, kinetic parameter estimates are affected by dropout independent of the NR chemistry employed, and all chemistries are practically indistinguishable in bulk, short-read RNA-seq experiments. Dropout is an avoidable problem that can be identified by including unlabeled controls, and mitigated through improved sample handing and read alignment that together improve the robustness and reproducibiltiy of NR-seq experiments.

Differential gene expression following SCI in trkB.T1 null

Project description:We asked what genes are significantly differentially regulated in the spinal cord of SCI trkB.T1 WT and trkB.T1 KO mice. TrkB.T1 is upregulated shortly after SCI although the precise mechanisms underyling this upregulation are poorly understood. In the trkB.T1 null, we show less mechanical allodynia and better locomotor recovery following SCI. The microarray studies helped us to elucidate a signaling pathway that is differently regulated in the WT versus KO mice at 1 day after SCI. In this study, we did not examine gene changes within a genotype after SCI. Rather, we examined DGE by genotype at each time point. Spinal cord tissue from WT and KO mice in a sham condition (intact spinal cord) versus 1D, 3D and 7D following SCI was harvested for microarray analyses.

Tracking distinct RNA populations using efficient and reversible covalent chemistry

Project description:We describe a chemical method to label and purify 4-thiouridine (s4U) -containing RNA. We demonstrate that methanethiolsulfonate (MTS) reagents form disulfide bonds with s4U more efficiently than the commonly used HPDP-biotin, leading to higher yields and less biased enrichment. This increase in efficiency allowed us to use s4U-labeling to study global microRNA (miRNA) turnover in proliferating cultured human cells without perturbing global miRNA levels or the miRNA processing machinery. This improved chemistry will enhance methods that depend on tracking different populations of RNA such as 4-thiouridine-tagging to study tissue-specific transcription and dynamic transcriptome analysis (DTA) to study RNA turnover. s4U metabolic labeling of RNA in 293T cells, followed by biochemical enrichment of labeled RNA with two biotinylation reagents, RNAs >200nt and miRNAs in separate experiments
