Single-nucleus chromatin accessibility and transcriptomic characterization of Alzheimer’s Disease

ABSTRACT: The gene-regulatory landscape of the brain is highly dynamic in health and disease, coordinating a menagerie of biological processes across¬ distinct cell-types. Here, we present a multi-omic single-nucleus study of 191,890 nuclei in late-stage Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), accessible through our intuitive web portal, profiling chromatin accessibility and gene expression in the same biological samples and uncovering vast cellular heterogeneity. We identified cell-type specific, disease-associated candidate cis-regulatory elements and their candidate target genes, including an oligodendrocyte-associated regulatory module containing links to APOE and CLU. We describe cis-regulatory relationships in specific cell-types at AD risk loci defined by genome wide association studies (GWAS), demonstrating the utility of this multi-omic single-nucleus approach. Trajectory analysis of glial populations identified disease-relevant transcription factors, like SREBF1 and their regulatory targets. Further, we introduce scWGCNA, a co-expression network analysis strategy robust to the sparsity of single-cell data, to perform a systems-level meta-analysis of AD transcriptomics.

Single-cell epigenomic identification of inherited risk loci in Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease

Project description:Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified thousands of variants associated with disease phenotypes. However, the majority of these variants do not alter coding sequences, making it difficult to assign their function. To this end, we present a multi-omic epigenetic atlas of the adult human brain through profiling of the chromatin accessibility landscapes and three-dimensional chromatin interactions of seven brain regions across a cohort of 39 cognitively healthy individuals. Single-cell chromatin accessibility profiling of 70,631 cells from six of these brain regions identifies 24 distinct cell clusters and 359,022 cell type-specific regulatory elements, capturing the regulatory diversity of the adult brain. We develop a machine learning classifier to integrate this multi-omic framework and predict dozens of functional single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), nominating gene and cellular targets for previously orphaned GWAS loci. These predictions both inform well-studied disease-relevant genes, such as BIN1 in microglia for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and reveal novel gene-disease associations, such as STAB1 in microglia and MAL in oligodendrocytes for Parkinson’s disease (PD). Moreover, we dissect the complex inverted haplotype of the MAPT (encoding tau) PD risk locus, identifying ectopic enhancer-gene contacts in neurons that increase MAPT expression and may mediate this disease association. This work greatly expands our understanding of inherited variation in AD and PD and provides a roadmap for the epigenomic dissection of noncoding regulatory variation in disease.

Multi-omic profiling of single nuclei uncovers regulatory diversity of brain cell types and diseases

Project description:Most existing single-cell techniques can only make one type of molecular measurements. Although computational approaches have been developed to integrate single-cell datasets, their efficacy still needs to be determined with reference to authentic single-cell multi-omic profiles. To address this challenge, we devised single-nucleus methylCytosine, Chromatin accessibility and Transcriptome sequencing (snmC2T-seq) and applied the approach to post-mortem human frontal cortex tissue. We developed a computational framework to evaluate the quality of finely defined cell types using multi-modal information and validated the efficacy of computational multi-omic integration methods. Correlation analysis in individual cells revealed gene groups showing distinct relations between methylation and expression. Integration of snmC2T-seq with other multi- and single- modal datasets enabled joint analyses of the methylome, chromatin accessibility, transcriptome, and chromatin architecture for 63 human cortical cell types. We reconstructed the regulatory lineage of these cortical cell types and found pronounced cell-type-specific enrichment of disease risks for neuropsychiatric traits, predicting causal cell types that can be targeted for treatment.

ArchR: An integrative and scalable software package for single-cell chromatin accessibility analysis

Project description:The advent of large-scale single-cell chromatin accessibility profiling has accelerated our ability to map gene regulatory landscapes, but has outpaced the development of scalable software to rapidly extract biological meaning from these data. Here we present a software suite for single-cell analysis of regulatory chromatin in R (ArchR; www.ArchRProject.com) that enables fast and comprehensive analysis of single-cell chromatin accessibility data. ArchR provides an intuitive, user-focused interface for complex single-cell analyses including doublet removal, single-cell clustering and cell type identification, unified peak set generation, cellular trajectory identification, DNA element to gene linkage, transcription factor footprinting, mRNA expression level prediction from chromatin accessibility, and multi-omic integration with scRNA-seq. Enabling the analysis of over 1.2 million single cells within 8 hours on a standard Unix laptop, ArchR is a comprehensive analytical suite for end-to-end analysis of single-cell chromatin accessibility data that will accelerate the understanding of gene regulation at the resolution of individual cells.

Single nucleus multiomics identifies ZEB1 and MAFB as candidate regulators of Alzheimer′s disease-specific cis regulatory elements

Project description:Cell type-specific transcriptional differences between brain tissues from donors with Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) and unaffected controls have been well-documented, but few studies have rigorously interrogated the regulatory mechanisms responsible for these alterations. We performed single nucleus multiomics (snRNA-seq + snATAC-seq) on 105,332 nuclei isolated from cortical tissues from 7 AD and 8 unaffected donors to identify candidate cis-regulatory elements (CREs) involved in AD-associated transcriptional changes. We detected 319,861 significant correlations, or links, between gene expression and cell-type specific transposase accessible regions that are enriched for active CREs. Among these, 40,831 were unique to AD tissues. Validation experiments confirmed the activity of many regions, including several candidate regulators of APP expression. We identified ZEB1 and MAFB as transcription factors playing important roles in AD-specific gene regulation in neurons and microglia, respectively. Microglial links were globally enriched for heritability of AD risk and previously identified active regulatory regions.
