Non-linear transcriptional responses to gradual modulation of transcription factor dosage

ABSTRACT: Genomic loci associated with common traits and diseases are typically non-coding and likely impact gene expression, sometimes coinciding with rare loss-of-function variants in the target gene. However, our understanding of how gradual changes in gene dosage affect molecular, cellular, and organismal traits is currently limited. To address this gap, we induced gradual changes in gene expression of four genes using CRISPR activation and inactivation. Downstream transcriptional consequences of dosage modulation of three master trans-regulators associated with blood cell traits (GFI1B, NFE2, and MYB) was examined using targeted single-cell multimodal sequencing. We showed that guide tiling around the TSS is the most effective way to modulate cis gene expression across a wide range of fold-changes, with further effects from chromatin accessibility and histone marks that differ between the inhibition and activation systems. Our single-cell data allowed us to precisely detect subtle to large gene expression changes in dozens of trans genes, revealing that many responses to dosage changes of these three TFs are non-linear, including non-monotonic behaviours, even when constraining the fold-changes of the master regulators to a copy number gain or loss. We found that the dosage properties are linked to gene constraint and that some of these non-linear responses are enriched for disease and GWAS genes. Overall, our study provides a straightforward and scalable method to precisely modulate gene expression and gain insights into its downstream consequences at high resolution.

Predominantly inverse modulation of gene expression in genomically unbalanced disomic haploid maize

Project description:The phenotypic consequences of the addition or subtraction of part of a chromosome is more severe than changing the dosage of the whole genome. By crossing diploid trisomies to a haploid inducer, we identified seventeen distal segmental haploid disomies that cover ~80% of the maize genome. Disomic haploids provide a level of genomic imbalance that is not ordinarily achievable in multicellular eukaryotes, allowing the impact to be stronger and more easily studied. Transcriptome size estimates revealed that a few disomies inversely modulate most of the transcriptome. Based on RNA sequencing, the expression levels of genes located on the varied chromosome arms (cis) in disomies ranged from being proportional to chromosomal dosage (dosage effect) to showing dosage compensation with no expression change with dosage. For genes not located on the varied chromosome arm (trans), an obvious trans-acting effect can be observed, with the majority showing a decreased modulation (inverse effect). The extent of dosage compensation of varied cis genes correlates with the extent of trans inverse effects across the 17 genomic regions studied. The results also have implications for the role of stoichiometry in gene expression, the control of quantitative traits, and the evolution of dosage-sensitive genes.

Multi-omics profiling of human pancreatic islet dysregulation from normoglycemia to type 2 diabetes

Project description:Type-2 diabetes (T2D) mellitus results from a complex interplay of genetic and environmental factors leading to deficient insulin secretion from pancreatic islet beta cells. Here, we provide a the first comprehensive study of the human islet state of metabolically profiled pancreatectomized living human donors in relationship to glycemic control integrating clinical traits with multiple in situ islet and pre-operative blood omics datasets across the glycemia continuum from non diabetic healthy to overt T2D levels. Our transcriptomics and proteomics data suggest that progressive dysregulation of islet gene expression associated with increasing glucose intolerance is a disharmonic process resembling a non-linear trajectory of mature beta cell states towards trans-differentiation. Furthermore, we identify a unique islet gene set altered already in early-onset glucose intolerance and that, which correlates well across HbA1c levels - the gold-standard in clinical monitoring. Our findings reach beyond conventional clinical thresholds and can serve as direct or indirect prognostic markers for beta cell failure.

The natural diversity of the yeast proteome links aneuploidy tolerance to genome-wide proteome

Project description:Recent advancements in genome sequencing have facilitated accessing the natural genetic diversity of species, unveiling hidden genetic traits, clarifying gene functions, and the degree to which laboratory studies can be generalized. One notable discovery is the frequent (~20%) aneuploidy - an imbalance in chromosome copy numbers - in natural Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Sc) isolates, despite the significant fitness costs and transient nature reported for lab-engineered yeast aneuploids. To examine this discrepancy, we adapted a high-throughput proteomic platform to analyze the proteome of 800 diverse yeast isolates. Matching these proteomes to the natural isolates’ genomes, transcriptomes, as well as generating ubiquitinome and protein turnover data for selected isolates, we report that natural and lab-generated aneuploids differ specifically at the proteome. While lab-generated aneuploids attenuate specific proteins – mostly protein complex subunits – and do not alter the average gene dosage provided by chromosome duplications, in natural strains, 70% of proteins encoded on aneuploid chromosomes are attenuated, and protein levels are shifted towards the euploid state chromosome-wide. Our data links chromosome-wide dosage compensation in natural strains to i) genome-wide buffering of gene expression changes manifesting in trans on euploid chromosomes, ii) increased expression of structural components of the ubiquitin proteasome system, and iii) increased global rates of protein turnover. Our results encourage the exploitation of natural diversity of species to understand complex biological processes at the molecular level. This submission contains the raw files for the disomics lab engineered strains, the library used for the analysis and the corresponding DIA-NN report and associated files.

Genome-wide gene/genome dosage imbalance regulates gene expressions in synthetic Brassica napus and derivatives (AC, AAC, CCA, CCAA)

Project description:Gene/genome dosage balance is an essential evolutionary mechanism for organisms to ensure a normal function, but the underlying causes of dosage-imbalance regulation remains poorly understood. Herein, the serial Brassica hybrids/polyploids with different dosages of A and C subgenomes were synthesized to investigate the effects of genome dosages on gene expressions and interaction using RNA-Seq. The expression changes of A- and C-subgenome genes were in accordance with dosage alterations. Dosage-dependent and -independent genes were grouped according to the correlations between dosage variations and gene expressions. Expression levels of dosage-dependent genes were strongly correlated with dosage changes that mainly contributed to dosage effects, while those of dosage-independent genes gave weak correlations with dosage variations that mostly facilitated dosage compensation. More protein–protein interactions were detected for dosage-independent genes than dosage-dependent ones, as predicted by the dosage balance hypothesis. Dosage-dependent genes more likely impacted the expressions by trans effects, whereas dosage-independent genes preferred to play by cis effects. Furthermore, dosage-dependent genes were mainly associated with the basic biological processes to maintain the stability of the growth and development, while dosage-independent genes were more enriched in the stress response related processes to accelerate adaptation. The present comprehensive analysis of gene expression dependent/independent on dosage alterations in Brassica polyploids provided new insights into gene/genome dosage-imbalance regulation of gene expression.

Genomic imbalance determines positive and negative modulation of gene expression in diploid maize

Project description:We examined the impact of both increased and decreased dosage of fifteen distal and one interstitial chromosomal regions via RNA-seq of maize mature leaf tissue to reveal new aspects of genomic imbalance. The results indicate that significant changes in gene expression in aneuploids occur both on the varied chromosome (cis) and the remainder of the genome (trans), with a wider spread of modulation compared with the whole-ploidy series of haploid to tetraploid. In general, cis genes in aneuploids range from a gene-dosage effect to dosage compensation, whereas for trans genes the most common effect is an inverse correlation in that expression is modulated towards the opposite direction of the varied chromosomal dosage, although positive modulations also occur. Furthermore, this analysis revealed the existence of increased and decreased effects in which expression of many genes under genome imbalance are modulated towards the same direction regardless of increased or decreased chromosomal dosage, which is predicted from kinetic considerations of multicomponent molecular interactions. The findings provide novel insights into understanding mechanistic aspects of gene regulation.

Genome-wide analysis of expression QTL (eQTL) and allele-specific expression (ASE) in pig muscle identifies candidate genes for meat quality traits

Project description:Genetic analysis of gene expression level is a promising approach for characterizing candidate genes that are involved in complex economic traits such as meat quality. In the present study, we conducted expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) and allele-specific expression (ASE) analyses based on RNA-sequencing (RNAseq) data from the longissimus muscle of 189 Duroc × Luchuan crossed pigs in order to identify some candidate genes for meat quality traits. Using a genome-wide association study based on a fixed linear model, we identified 7,192 cis-eQTL corresponding to 2,098 cis-genes (p ≤ 1.33e-3, FDR ≤ 0.05) and 6,400 trans-eQTL corresponding to 863 trans-genes (p ≤ 1.13e-6, FDR ≤ 0.05). ASE analysis using RNAseq SNPs identified 9,815 significant ASE-SNPs in 2,253 unique genes. Integrative analysis between the cis-eQTL and ASE target genes identified 540 common genes, including 33 genes with expression levels that were correlated with at least one meat quality trait. Among these 540 common genes, 63 have been reported previously as candidate genes for meat quality traits, such as PHKG1 (q-value = 1.67e-6 for the leading SNP in the cis-eQTL analysis), NUDT7 (q-value = 5.67e-13), FADS2 (q-value = 8.44e-5), and DGAT2 (q-value = 1.24e-3).This study provides valuable information on the genetics of gene expression in porcine skeletal muscle. The characterized cis-genes and ASE genes, combined with the correlations between gene expression level and meat quality traits will be useful to prioritize candidate genes in further studies.

Pseudoautosomal region 1 overdosage affects the global transcriptome in iPSCs from patients with Klinefelter syndrome and high-grade X chromosome aneuploidies

Project description:Klinefelter syndrome (KS) is the most prevalent aneuploidy in males and is characterized by one or more supernumerary X chromosomes. Here, using a paradigmatic cohort of KS-inducible pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) carrying 49-XXXXY, 48-XXXY, and 47-XXY karyotypes, we identified genes within the pseudoautosomal region 1 (PAR1) region as the most susceptible to dosage-dependent transcriptional dysregulation and therefore potentially responsible for the progressively worsening phenotype in higher grade X aneuploidies. By contrast, biallelically expressed non-PAR escape genes displayed high interclonal and interpatient variability in iPSCs and differentiated derivatives, suggesting that these genes could be associated with variable KS traits. By interrogating KS-iPSCs at single-cell resolution, we showed that PAR1 and non-PAR escape genes were not only resilient to X-inactive specific transcript (XIST)-mediated inactivation but also that their transcriptional regulation was disjointed from the absolute XIST expression level. Finally, we explored the transcriptional effects of X chromosome overdosage on autosomes and identified the transcription factor nuclear respiratory factor 1 as the master regulator of zinc finger protein X-linked. Our findings provided the first evidence of an X-dosage-sensitive autosomal transcription factor regulating an X-linked gene in low- and high-grade X aneuploidies.

Discovery of target genes and pathways of blood trait loci using pooled CRISPR screens and single cell RNA sequencing

Project description:The majority of variants associated with complex traits and common diseases identified by genome-wide association studies (GWAS) map to noncoding regions of the genome with unknown regulatory effects. By leveraging ancestrally diverse biobank-scale GWAS data, massively parallel CRISPR screens and single cell transcriptomic and proteomic sequencing, we discovered target genes of noncoding variants for blood trait loci. For 91 GWAS loci, we identified 124 target genes in cis, which were often — but not always — the closest genes to the fine-mapped variant. Using precise variant insertion via base editing, we connect specific variants with gene expression changes. We also identified trans-effect networks of noncoding loci when cis target genes encoded transcription factors or microRNAs, such as GFI1B and miR-142. Trans-regulatory networks were themselves enriched for fine-mapped GWAS variants, demonstrating polygenic contributions to complex traits. Co-expression clustering of GFI1B trans-target genes identifies gene networks specific to different blood cell fates and differentiation stages. This platform will enable massively parallel assays to characterize the target genes and mechanisms of human noncoding variants in both cis and trans.
