Cell-specific chromatin landscape in human coronary artery resolves regulatory mechanisms of disease risk

ABSTRACT: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a complex inflammatory disease involving genetic influences across several cell types. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified over 170 loci associated with CAD, where the majority of risk variants reside in noncoding DNA sequences impacting cis-regulatory elements (CREs). Here, we applied single-cell ATAC-seq to profile 28,316 cells across coronary artery segments from 41 patients with varying stages of CAD, which revealed 14 distinct cellular clusters. We mapped ~320,000 accessible sites across all cells, identified cell type-specific elements, transcription factors, and prioritized functional CAD risk variants via quantitative trait locus and sequence-based predictive modeling. We identified a number of candidate mechanisms for smooth muscle cell transition states and identified putative binding sites for risk variants. We further employed CRE to gene linkage to nominate disease-associated key driver transcription factors such as PRDM16 and TBX2. This single cell atlas provides a critical step towards interpreting cis-regulatory mechanisms in the vessel wall across the continuum of CAD risk.

Quantitative trait loci mapped for TCF21 binding, chromatin accessibility and chromosomal looping in coronary artery smooth muscle cells reveal molecular mechanisms of coronary disease loci [array]

Project description:To better understand the fundamental molecular mechanisms that contribute to complex human diseases such as coronary artery disease (CAD), we have created a catalog of genetic variants associated with three stages of transcriptional cis-regulation in primary human coronary artery vascular smooth muscle cells. To this end, we used a pooling approach to map quantitative trait locus associations (QTLs) for TCF21 binding (ChIPseq), chromatin accessibility (ATACseq), and chromosomal looping (HiC). We find significant overlap of these QTLs, and several analyses indicate their relationship to smooth muscle specific genes, the binding of smooth muscle transcription factors, and enrichment in CAD-associated loci. These QTLs are extensively validated and allele-specific chromatin looping at the FN1 disease locus is shown to be mediated by activation of the CAD-associated TGFb1 pathway. In sum, these results uncover thousands of loci affecting cis-regulation in a key cell type for CAD, including many that may contribute to CAD risk.

Multi-ancestry genetic analysis of gene regulation in coronary artery prioritizes disease risk loci

Project description:Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified hundreds of genetic risk loci for coronary artery disease (CAD). However, non-European populations are underrepresented in coronary artery disease (CAD). However, non-European populations are underrepresented in GWAS and the causal gene-regulatory mechanisms of these risk loci during atherosclerosis remain unclear. We incorporated local ancestry and haplotype information to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) for gene expression and splicing in coronary arteries obtained from 138 ancestrally diverse Americans.

ANRIL siRNA Microarray Data in HUVECs

Project description:Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common cardiovascular disease and the leading cause of death worldwide. To date, the 9p21.3 locus is the most robust and frequently replicated risk locus of CAD among >90 CAD risk loci identified by GWAS. More than 50 CAD-associated genomic variants were identified at the 9p21.3 CAD locus and many of them are located within a long non-coding gene ANRIL, which was initially referred to as Antisense Non-coding RNA in INK4 Locus. The causal role of ANRIL in CAD and the underlying molecular mechanism are unknown. We used gene expression microarray to identify the downstream target genes of ANRIL and to explore molecular mechanisms by which ANRIL might contribute to the risk development of CAD.

Chromatin accessibility profiling of human coronary arteries identifes disease regulatory variants

Project description:Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a complex inflammatory disease of the vessel wall and often leads to myocardial infarction. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have now identified over 200 genetic loci associated with CAD. The majority of CAD-associated variants are located in noncoding regions of the genome, many of which are predicted to regulate chromatin accessibility and gene expression. In this study, we performed ATAC-seq in human coronary artery patient samples to identify novel chromatin accessibility QTLs (caQTLs) and gain additional insights into CAD regulatory mechanisms in vivo.

Integrative fine-mapping of regulatory variants and mechanisms at coronary artery disease loci

Project description:Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of mortality and morbidity driven by both genetic and environmental risk factors. Meta-analyses of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified multiple single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with CAD and myocardial infarction (MI) susceptibility in multi-ethnic populations. The majority of these variants reside in non-coding regulatory regions and are co-inherited with hundreds of candidate regulatory SNPs. Herein, we use integrative genomic, epigenomic, and transcriptomic fine-mapping in human coronary artery smooth muscle cells (HCASMC) and tissues to identify causal regulatory variation and mechanisms responsible for CAD associations. Using these genome-wide maps we prioritize 65 candidate variants and perform allele-specific binding and expression analyses on 7 top candidates. We validate our findings in two independent cohorts of diseased human arterial expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL), which together demonstrate fundamental links between CAD associations and regulatory function in the appropriate disease context.

Protein interaction networks in the vasculature prioritize genes and pathways underlying coronary artery disease (Whitehead data)

Project description:Population-based association studies have identified many genetic risk loci for coronary artery disease (CAD), but it is often unclear how genes within these loci are linked to CAD. Here, we performed interaction proteomics for 11 CAD-risk genes to map their protein-protein interactions (PPIs) in human vascular cells and elucidate their biological relevance in CAD pathogenesis. The PPI networks contain many protein interactions that are outside of known biology in the vasculature and are enriched for genes involved in immunity-related and arterial-wall-specific mechanisms. Furthermore, several PPI networks derived from smooth muscle cells are significantly enriched for genetic variants associated with CAD and related vascular phenotypes. Finally, our networks identified 61 genes that are found in genetic loci associated with risk of CAD, prioritizing them as the causal candidates within these loci. Together, our results indicate that the PPI networks we have generated are a rich resource for guiding future research into the molecular pathogenesis of CAD.
