A single-cell massively parallel reporter assay detects cell type specific cis-regulatory activity

ABSTRACT: We developed a single-cell massively parallel reporter assay (scMPRA) to measure the activity of libraries of cis-regulatory sequences (CRSs) across multiple cell-types simultaneously. As a proof of concept, we assayed a library of core promoters in a mixture of HEK293 and K562 cells and showed that scMPRA is a reproducible, highly parallel, single-cell reporter gene assay. Our results show that housekeeping promoters and CpG island promoters have lower activity in K562 cells relative to HEK293, which likely reflects developmental differences between the cell lines. Within K562 cells, scMPRA identified a subset of developmental promoters that are upregulated in the CD34+/CD38- sub-state, confirming this state as more “stem-like.” Finally, we deconvolved the intrinsic and extrinsic components of cell-to-cell variability and found that developmental promoters have a higher proportion of extrinsic noise compared to housekeeping promoters. We anticipate scMPRA will be widely applicable for studying the role of CRSs across diverse cell types. Overall design: single-cell massively parallel reporter assay of a core promoter library with 676 members and each sequence is barcoded 3 times with a 16 bp DNA barcode. A second 25 bp random barcodes was added during cloning. The library was sequencd using bulk RNA-seq and single-cell RNA-seq in K562 and HEK293 cells. Each experiment contains 2 replicates.

Systematic dissection of regulatory motifs in 2,000 predicted human enhancers using a massively parallel reporter assay

Project description:We employ a massively parallel reporter assay (MPRA) to measure the ex vivo activities of hundreds of K562 and HepG2 enhancers with known transcription factor motif instances. For seven selected motifs that correspond to known or predicted activators and repressors in the two cell types, we make directed modifications of the bases corresponding to these motifs and observe the changes in enhancer activity. Reporter mRNA-seq from HepG2 and K562 cells transfected with a ~55,000-plex MPRA plasmid pool containing 5,418 mutated human enhancer sequences, each linked to 10 distinct 10-nt tags. The reporter mRNA tags facilitate quantitation of their abundances. The same tags were also sequenced from the transfected MPRA plasmid pool to facilitate normalization to plasmid copy numbers.

A new computational method to predict transcriptional activity of a DNA sequence from diverse datasets of massively parallel reporter assays.

Project description:In recent years, the dramatic increase in the number of applications for massively parallel reporter assay (MPRA) technology has produced a large body of data for various purposes. However, a computational model that can be applied to decipher regulatory codes for diverse MPRAs does not exist yet. Here, we propose a new computational method to predict the transcriptional activity of MPRAs, as well as luciferase reporter assays, based on the TRANScription FACtor database. We employed regression trees and multivariate adaptive regression splines to obtain these predictions and considered a feature redundancy-dependent formula for conventional regression trees to enable adaptation to diverse data. The developed method was applicable to various MPRAs despite the use of different types of transfected cells, sequence lengths, construct numbers and sequence types. We demonstrate that this method can predict the transcriptional activity of promoters in HEK293 cells through predictive functions that were estimated by independent assays in eight tumor cell lines. The prediction was generally good (Pearson's r = 0.68) which suggested that common active transcription factor binding sites across different cell types make greater contributions to transcriptional activity and that known promoter activity could confer transcriptional activity of unknown promoters in some instances, regardless of cell type.

High-throughput identification of RNA nuclear enrichment sequences.

Project description:In the post-genomic era, thousands of putative noncoding regulatory regions have been identified, such as enhancers, promoters, long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), and a cadre of small peptides. These ever-growing catalogs require high-throughput assays to test their functionality at scale. Massively parallel reporter assays have greatly enhanced the understanding of noncoding DNA elements en masse Here, we present a massively parallel RNA assay (MPRNA) that can assay 10,000 or more RNA segments for RNA-based functionality. We applied MPRNA to identify RNA-based nuclear localization domains harbored in lncRNAs. We examined a pool of 11,969 oligos densely tiling 38 human lncRNAs that were fused to a cytosolic transcript. After cell fractionation and barcode sequencing, we identified 109 unique RNA regions that significantly enriched this cytosolic transcript in the nucleus including a cytosine-rich motif. These nuclear enrichment sequences are highly conserved and over-represented in global nuclear fractionation sequencing. Importantly, many of these regions were independently validated by single-molecule RNA fluorescence in situ hybridization. Overall, we demonstrate the utility of MPRNA for future investigation of RNA-based functionalities.
