Single-cell nascent transcription reveals sparse genome usage and plasticity [pro-seq]

ABSTRACT: Understanding cell diversification from a common genome in metazoans requires single-cell transcriptional analysis. We introduce scFLUENT-seq, a single-cell nascent RNA sequencing method using brief 10-minute metabolic labeling to capture genome-wide transcription. Surprisingly, individual cellsfrom splenic lymphocytes to pluripotent stem cellstranscribe only 0.02~3.1% of the genome, versus >80% in bulk, revealing limited genome engagement and profound cell-type and cell-to-cell heterogeneity. Intergenic transcription, especially from heterochromatin, is pervasive and stochastic. Promoter-associated antisense and genic transcription rarely co-occur in the same cell. Proximal intergenic transcription involves both gene readthrough and independent initiation, while distal intergenic transcription is largely independent of neighboring genes and correlates with increased transcriptional diversity, a hallmark of cellular plasticity. Although global RNA sysnthesis and turnover are coupled in bulk, individual mRNA transcription and decay are poorly coordinated in single cells, suggesting noise-buffering mechanisms. Overall, scFLUENT-seq uncovers complex coding and noncoding transcriptional dynamics that underlie single-cell heterogeneity and state transitions.

Sensitive, high-throughput single-cell RNA-Seq reveals within-clonal transcript-correlations in yeast populations

Project description:Single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) has revealed extensive cellular heterogeneity within many organisms but few methods have been developed for microbial clonal populations. The yeast genome displays an unusually dense transcript spacing with interleaved and overlapping transcription from both strands, resulting in a minuscule but complex pool of RNA protected by a resilient cell wall. Here, we developed a sensitive, scalable and inexpensive yeast single-cell RNA-seq (yscRNA-seq) method that digitally counts transcript start sites (TSS) in a strand- and isoform-specific manner with unique molecular identifiers (UMI). YscRNA-Seq detects expression of low-abundant, non-coding RNAs and at least half of the protein-coding genome in each cell. From just one single-cell transcriptome experiment of a bulk population, enough heterogeneity is uncovered between individual cells to identify biological associations without the need for perturbation experiments necessary to derive correlations from bulk data. Within cells of a single clonal population, we observe negative expression correlation of sense/antisense pairs while duplicated gene pairs and divergent transcripts co-express. By combining yscRNA-Seq with index sorting, which allows phenotypic characterization, we uncover a linear cell size-dependent change in absolute RNA content. Although we detect an average of ~3.5 molecules per gene, a single cell tends restrict the number of expressed isoforms. Remarkably, there is a highly variable expression within metabolic genes, whose stochastic expression primes cells for fitness benefit towards the corresponding environmental challenge. These findings suggest functional transcript diversity as a mechanism for providing a selective advantage to individual cells within otherwise transcriptionally heterogeneous microbial populations.

GNPS - Quantifying Cell Heterogeneity and Subpopulations Using Single Cell Metabolomics

Project description:We combined the Single-probe single cell MS(SCMS) experimental technique with a bioinformatics software package, SinCHet-MS (Single Cell Heterogeneity for Mass Spectrometry), to characterize changes of tumor heterogeneity, quantify cell subpopulations, and prioritize the metabolite biomarkers of each subpopulation.

Single cell RNA-seq of human synovial joints from healthy donors

Project description:Human synovial Single cell RNA-seq was performed on three tissue samples from healthy donors. This experiment was done to explore the heterogeneity of cells in healthy human synovial joint and enabled the comparison of cellular states and composition to those of publicly available single cell RNA-seq datasets from psoriatic arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis patients. Human synovial cells were loaded immediately after tissue dissociation with up to 25,000 cells in a single well of a Chromium chip G (10x Genomics). 3’ gene expression libraries were generated using Chromium Next GEM Single Cell 3' Kit 3.1 with 3' Feature Barcode Kit and dual indexing (10x Genomics protocol CG000316 Rev C). Libraries were sequenced as paired end (PE) 150 bp by Illumina sequencing to 65-80% saturation. Reads were mapped to the GRCh38 human genome (GENCODE) using the 10x Genomics Cell Ranger pipeline (7.2.0).

Single cell sequencing of astrocytes in the APP NL-F and APP PS1 models of ß-amyloidopathy

Project description:Bulk RNA-sequencing of astrocytes in the APP NL-F and APP PS1 models of ß-amyloidopathy, in which aspects of AD-related pathology progress at different speed, shows age-dependent gene expression changes. However, bulk RNA-seq does not provide insight into the heterogeneity of expression within this cell type, particularly relevant for such models, where reactive astrogliosis is most prominent in the vicinity of plaques. To investigate astrocyte heterogeneity in ß-amyloidopathy models, we thus performed single cell RNA-sequencing on astrocytes separated by FACS.

Integrated Single-Cell Analysis in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

Project description:Intratumoral genetic heterogeneity has been characterized across cancers by genome sequencing of bulk tumors, including chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). In order to more accurately identify subclones, define phylogenetic relationships, and probe genotype-phenotype relationships, we developed methods for targeted mutation detection in DNA and RNA isolated from thousands of single cells from five CLL samples. By clearly resolving phylogenic relationships, we uncovered mutated LCP1 and WNK1 as novel CLL drivers, supported by functional evidence demonstrating their impact on CLL pathways. Integrative analysis of somatic mutations with transcriptional states prompts the idea that convergent evolution generates phenotypically similar cells in distinct genetic branches, thus creating a cohesive expression profile in each CLL sample despite the presence of genetic heterogeneity. Our study highlights the potential for single-cell RNA-based targeted analysis to sensitively determine transcriptional and mutational profiles of individual cancer cells leading to increased understanding of driving events in malignancy.

Cell-to-cell heterogeneity drives host-virus coexistence in a bloom-forming alga

Project description:Algal blooms drive global biogeochemical cycles of key nutrients in the oceans and serve as hotspots for biological interactions. The massive spring blooms of the cosmopolitan coccolithophore Emiliania huxleyi (E. huxleyi) are often infected by the lytic Emiliania huxleyi specific virus (EhV) which is a major mortality agent triggering bloom demise. Nonetheless, the multi-annual 'boom and bust' pattern of E. huxleyi suggests that mechanisms of coexistence are essential for these host-virus dynamics. To investigate host-virus coexistence, we developed a new model system from an E. huxleyi culture which recovered from viral infection. The recovered population coexists with the virus, as host cells continue to grow in parallel to viral production. By applying a single-molecule fluorescence in situ hybridization (smFISH) approach to quantify the fraction of infected cells and assessing infection-specific lipid biomarkers, we identified a small subpopulation (5-7% of cells) that was infected and produced new virions, whereas the majority of the host population could resist infection. To further assess population heterogeneity, we generated monoclonal strain collections using single-cell sorting and subsequently phenotyped their susceptibility to EhV infection. This unraveled a substantial cell-to-cell heterogeneity across a continuum of susceptibility to resistance, suggesting that infection outcomes may vary depending on the individual cell. These results add a new dimension to our understanding of the complexity of host-virus interactions that are commonly assessed in bulk and described by binary definitions of resistance or susceptibility. We propose that phenotypic heterogeneity drives E. huxleyi-EhV coexistence and may potentially provide the coexisting strain an ecological advantage by killing competing susceptible strains.
