Pseudocell Tracer - a method for inferring dynamic trajectories using scRNAseq and its application to B cells undergoing immunoglobulin class switch recombination

ABSTRACT: Single cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) can be used to infer a temporal ordering of cellular states. Current methods for the inference of cellular trajectories rely on unbiased dimensionality reduction techniques. However, such biologically agnostic ordering can prove difficult for modeling complex developmental or differentiation processes. The cellular heterogeneity of dynamic biological compartments can result in sparse sampling of key intermediate cell states. To overcome these limitations, we develop a supervised machine learning framework, called Pseudocell Tracer, which infers trajectories in pseudospace rather than in pseudotime. The method uses a supervised encoder, trained with adjacent biological information, to project scRNAseq data into a low-dimensional manifold that maps the transcriptional states a cell can occupy. Then a generative adversarial network (GAN) is used to simulate pesudocells at regular intervals along a virtual cell-state axis. We demonstrate the utility of Pseudocell Tracer by modeling B cells undergoing immunoglobulin class switch recombination (CSR) during a prototypic antigen-induced antibody response. Our results revealed an ordering of key transcription factors regulating CSR to the IgG1 isotype, including the concomitant expression of Nfkb1 and Stat6 prior to the upregulation of Bach2 expression. Furthermore, the expression dynamics of genes encoding cytokine receptors suggest a poised IL-4 signaling state that preceeds CSR to the IgG1 isotype.

Kinase-dependent structural role of DNA-PKcs during immunoglobulin class switch recombination

Project description:The catalytic subunit of DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PKcs) is a classical nonhomologous end-joining (cNHEJ) factor. Loss of DNA-PKcs diminished mature B cell class switch recombination (CSR) to other isotypes, but not IgG1. Here, we show that expression of the kinase-dead DNA-PKcs (DNA-PKcsKD/KD) severely compromises CSR to IgG1. High-throughput sequencing analyses of CSR junctions reveal frequent accumulation of nonproductive interchromosomal translocations, inversions, and extensive end resection in DNA-PKcsKD/KD, but not DNA-PKcs-/- B cells. Meanwhile, the residual joints from DNA-PKcsKD/KDcells and the efficient Sμ-Sγ1 junctions from DNA-PKcs-/- B cells both display similar preferences for small (2–6 nt) microhomologies (MH). In DNA-PKcs-/- cells, Sμ-Sγ1 joints are more resistant to inversions and extensive resection than Sμ-Se and Sμ-Sμ joints, providing a mechanism for the isotype-specific CSR defects. Together, our findings identify a kinase-dependent role of DNA-PKcs in suppressing MH-mediated end joining and a structural role of DNA-PKcs protein in the orientation of CSR.

DYRK1A regulates B cell class switch recombination through phosphorylation of MSH6

Project description:Effective protection from viral infections depends on the antibody-specific isotype. Here, we found that the protein kinase, DYRK1A, is essential for B cell-mediated protection from viral infection and vaccination through regulation of class switch recombination (CSR). Dyrk1a-deficient B cells were impaired in CSR activity in vivo and in vitro. Phospho-proteomic screens and kinase-activity assays identified MSH6, a DNA mismatch repair protein, as a direct substrate for DYRK1A, and deletion of a single phosphorylation site attenuated CSR. After CSR and germinal center seeding, DYRK1A was required for proper clonal expansion of antigen-specific B cells through attenuation of proliferation. These findings reveal DYRK1A-mediated biological mechanisms of antibody-mediated immune responses that may be used for manipulation in antibody-mediated autoimmunity

IgH Isotype-Specific B Cell Receptor Dosage Regulates B Cell Fate

Project description:We use polyclonal Ighγ1/γ1 and Ighε/ε mice (which initially produce only IgG1 or IgE from their respective native genomic configurations) to examine the role of IgH isotype on BCR function. We use microarray expression analysis to compare the internal state of the three IgH isotype specific B-cells. Microarray was used to compare the expression level of various genes in splenic follicular B-cells of Ighε/ε, Ighγ1/γ1 and Ighwt mice. Each mouse strain also had a naturally pre-assembled Ig light chain (VJk5).

Single-cell RNA-seq of sorted CD8+ T cells from B16 melanoma tumors

Project description:The response of naive CD8 T cells to acute infections results in the generation of defined yet heterogeneous pools of effector and memory cells. In contrast, the complexity of tumor infiltrating CD8 T cell states is still not fully elucidated. To delineate the landscape of tumor infiltrating CD8 T cells in an unbiased manner, we performed single-cell (full-length) RNA-Seq of CD8 T cells infiltrating mouse B16 melanomas. Our analysis of cell heterogeneity revealed the presence of multiple distinct CD8 T cell subtypes including exhausted, terminal effector, naive and memory-like CD8 T cells, as well as novel intermediate states. TCR reconstruction and pseudotime ordering enabled us to follow differentiation of single clones and suggested distinct trajectories towards T-cell exhaustion.

Single cell RNA profiling of neutrophils in a model of pancreatic orthotopic cancer

Project description:Neutrophils are increasingly recognized as key players in the tumour immune response, and are associated with poor clinical outcomes. Despite recent advances characterizing the diversity of neutrophil states in cancer, common trajectories and mechanisms governing the ontogeny and relationship between these neutrophil states remain undefined. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) of neutrophils from the bone marrow, spleen, and blood in addtion to the pancreatic tumor thus uncovers an unique tumor differentiation trajectory, where immature and mature neutrophils converge into a terminally differentiated tumor neutrophil state.

Phenotypically supervised single cell sequencing parses within-cell-type heterogeneity

Project description:We used a phenotypic cell sorting technique to ask whether phenotypically supervised scRNAseq analysis (pheno-scRNAseq) can provide more insight into heterogeneous cell behaviors than unsupervised scRNAseq. Using a simple 3D in vitro breast cancer (BRCA) model, we conducted pheno-scRNAseq on invasive and non-invasive cells and compared the results to phenotype-agnostic scRNAseq analysis. Pheno-scRNAseq identified unique and more selective differentially expressed genes (DEGs) than unsupervised scRNAseq analysis. Functional studies validated the utility of pheno-scRNAseq in understanding within-cell-type functional heterogeneity and revealed that migration phenotypes were coordinated with specific metabolic, proliferation, stress, and immune phenotypes.

Identification of genes involved in class switch recombination by genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 knock-out screen

Project description:This screen aims to identify genes involved in class switch recombination (CSR), a process that allows B cells to change the isotype they express from IgM/IgD to IgG, IgA or IgE. For that purpose, the murine B cell line CH12 stably expressing Cas9 was used. This cell line can be induced to undergo CSR from IgM to IgA very efficiently in vitro when cultured with TGF-b, IL-4 and an anti-CD40 antibody. CH12Cas9 cells were transduced with the second-generation mouse Brie (mBrie) retroviral gRNA library (pMX-mBrie) and selected with puromycin for two weeks to allow for the Cas9-mediated generation of knockouts. Cells were then stimulated to undergo CSR for 72h. Those which failed to undergo CSR (which remained IgM+) or that succeed (which became IgA+) were sorted using magnetic beads. Genes, whose loss-of-function affect the efficiency of CSR, were identified by looking at gRNA enrichment in the IgM+ versus IgA+ populations through deep sequencing.

Independent roles of switching and hypermutation in the development and persistence of B lymphocyte memory [Nurr77]

Project description:Somatic hypermutation (SHM) and class switch recombination (CSR) increase the affinity and diversify the effector functions of antibodies during immune responses. Although SHM and CSR are fundamentally different, their independent roles in regulating B cell fate have been difficult to uncouple because a single enzyme, activation-induced cytidine deaminase (encoded by Aicda), initiates both reactions. Here, we used a combination of Aicda and antibody mutant alleles that separate the effects of CSR and SHM on polyclonal immune responses. We found that class-switching to IgG1 biased the fate choice made by B cells, favoring the plasma cell over memory cell fate without significantly affecting clonal expansion in the germinal center (GC). In contrast, SHM reduced the longevity of memory B cells by creating polyreactive specificities that were selected against over time. Our data define the independent contributions of SHM and CSR to the generation and persistence of memory in the antibody system.
