Profiling epigenetic aging at cell-type resolution through long-read sequencing

ABSTRACT: DNA methylation can give rise to robust biomarkers of aging, yet most studies profile it at the bulk tissue level, which masks cell type-specific alterations that may follow distinct aging trajectories. Long-read sequencing technology enables methylation profiling of extended DNA fragments, enabling mapping to their cell type of origin. In this study, we introduce a framework for evaluating cell type-specific aging using long-read sequencing data, without the need for cell sorting. Leveraging cell type-specific methylation patterns, we map long-read fragments to individual cell types and generate cell type-specific methylation profiles, which are used as input to a newly developed probabilistic aging model, LongReadAge, capable of predicting epigenetic age at the cell-type level. We use LongReadAge to track aging of myeloid cells and lymphocytes from bulk leukocyte data as well as circulating cell-free DNA, demonstrating robust performance in predicting age despite limited shared features across samples. This approach provides a novel method for profiling the dynamics of epigenetic aging at cell-type resolution.

Multi-cell type deconvolution using a probabilistic model of single-molecule DNA methylation haplotypes

Project description:Deconvolution methods infer quantitative cell type estimates from bulk measurement of mixed samples including blood and tissue. DNA methylation sequencing measures multiple CpGs per read, but few existing deconvolution methods leverage this within-read information. We develop CelFiE-ISH, which extends an existing method (CelFiE) to use within-read haplotype information. CelFiE-ISH outperforms CelFiE and other existing methods, achieving 30% better accuracy and more sensitive detection of rare cell types. We also demonstrate the importance of marker selection and tailoring markers for haplotype-aware methods. While here we use gold-standard short-read sequencing data, haplotype-aware methods will be well-suited for long-read sequencing.

Aging Fly Cell Atlas Identifies Exhaustive Aging Features at Cellular Resolution

Project description:Aging is accompanied by the functional decline of all tissues, but it is still largely unknown how aging impacts different tissues in a cell type-specific manner. Here, we present the Aging Fly Cell Atlas (AFCA) that includes single-nucleus transcriptomes of the entire Drosophila head and body from both males and females at four different ages. We characterize 162 distinct cell types and present an in-depth analysis of cell type-specific aging features, including changes of cell composition, gene expression, number of expressed genes, transcriptome noise, and cell identity. By combining all aging features, including aging clock models predicting a cell’s age, we find cell-type specific aging patterns. Adipose tissues showed the highest aging score, followed by two cell types from the reproductive system. This transcriptomic atlas provides a valuable resource for the community to study fundamental principles of aging in complex organisms.

Molecular Evolution of Cancer

Project description:<p>Recently developed methods that utilize partitioning of long genomic DNA fragments, and barcoding of shorter fragments derived from them, have succeeded in retaining long-range information in short sequencing reads. These so-called read cloud approaches represent a powerful, accurate, and cost-effective alternative to single-molecule long-read sequencing. We developed software, GROC-SVs, that takes advantage of read clouds for structural variant detection and assembly. We apply the method to two 10x Genomics data sets, one chromothriptic sarcoma with several spatially separated samples, and one breast cancer cell line, all Illumina-sequenced to high coverage. Comparison to short-fragment data from the same samples, and validation by mate-pair data from a subset of the sarcoma samples, demonstrate substantial improvement in specificity of breakpoint detection compared to short-fragment sequencing, at comparable sensitivity, and vice versa. The embedded long-range information also facilitates sequence assembly of a large fraction of the breakpoints; importantly, consecutive breakpoints that are closer than the average length of the input DNA molecules can be assembled together and their order and arrangement reconstructed, with some events exhibiting remarkable complexity. These features facilitated an analysis of the structural evolution of the sarcoma. In the chromothripsis, rearrangements occurred before copy number amplifications, and using the phylogenetic tree built from point mutation data, we show that single nucleotide variants and structural variants are not correlated. We predict significant future advances in structural variant science using 10x data analyzed with GROC-SVs and other read cloud-specific methods.</p>

Dnmt1 has de novo activity targeted to transposable elements

Project description:DNA methylation plays a critical role in development, particularly in repressing retrotransposons. The mammalian methylation landscape is dependent on the combined activities of the canonical maintenance enzyme Dnmt1 and the de novo Dnmts, 3a and 3b. Here we demonstrate that Dnmt1 displays de novo methylation activity in vitro and in vivo with specific retrotransposon targeting. We used whole-genome bisulfite and long-read Nanopore sequencing in genetically engineered methylation depleted embryonic stem cells to provide an in-depth assessment and quantification of this activity. Utilizing additional knockout lines and molecular characterization, we show that Dnmt1's de novo methylation activity depends on Uhrf1 and its genomic recruitment overlaps with targets that enrich for Trim28 and H3K9 trimethylation. Our data demonstrate that Dnmt1 can de novo add and maintain DNA methylation, especially at retrotransposons and that this mechanism may provide additional stability for long-term repression and epigenetic propagation throughout development.

Cell-type, single-cell, and spatial signatures of brain-region specific splicing in postnatal development

Project description:Alternative RNA splicing varies across brain regions, but the single-cell resolution of such regional variation is unknown. Here we present the first single-cell investigation of differential isoform expression (DIE) between brain regions, by performing single cell long-read transcriptome sequencing in the mouse hippocampus and prefrontal cortex in 45 cell types at postnatal day 7. Using isoform tests for brain-region specific DIE, which outperform exon-based tests, we detect hundreds of brain-region specific DIE events traceable to specific cell-types. Many DIE events correspond to functionally distinct protein isoforms, some with just a 6-nucleotide exon variant. In most instances, one cell type is responsible for brain-region specific DIE. Cell types indigenous to only one anatomic structure display distinctive DIE, where for example, the choroid plexus epithelium manifest unique transcription start sites. However, for some genes, multiple cell-types are responsible for DIE in bulk data, indicating that regional identity can, although less frequently, override cell-type specificity. We validated our findings with spatial transcriptomics and long-read sequencing, yielding the first spatially resolved splicing map in the postnatal mouse brain (www.isoformAtlas.com). Our methods are highly generalizable. They provide a robust means of quantifying isoform expression with cell-type and spatial resolution, and reveal how the brain integrates molecular and cellular complexity to serve function.

Methylation Pattern of Human Mesenchymal Stromal Cells

Project description:In this study, we have analyzed DNA methylation changes upon long-term culture and aging of MSC by using the HumanMethylation27 BeadChip assessing 27,578 unique CpG sites. Cells were taken from bone marrow aspirates from iliac crest (BM) of healthy donors or from the caput femoris (HIP) of elderly patients that received femoral head prosthesis.Overall, the methylation pattern was maintained throughout both long-term culture and aging but highly significant differences were observed at specific CpG sites. Notably, methylation changes in MSC were related in long-term culture and aging in vivo. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) were isolated from human bone marrow as described before (Wagner et al., 2006, Exp Hematol, 34, 536-548; Wagner et al.,2008, PLoS One 21;3(5):e2213.; Wagner et al., PLoS One. 2009 Jun 9;4(6):e5846.) Cells were always replated when grown to confluency. A sample for DNA isolation was taken at every passage until the cells finally became senescent. For methylation profiles upon long-term culture we used the samples of early passage (P2) and senescent passage (PX). For methylation profiles upon aging we have only used the samples of passage 2 of younger and elderly donors. Gene expression data of these samples have been previously deposited unter GSE9593 and GSE12274.

Single neuron analysis of aging associated changes in learning reveals escalating impairments in transcriptional plasticity

Project description:Molecular mechanisms underlying aging associated impairments in learning and long-term memory storage are poorly understood. Here we leveraged an identified motor neuron L7, mediating long-term sensitization of siphon-withdrawal reflex, a form of non-associative learning in sea slug Aplysia, to assess the impact of aging on transcriptional changes during learning. RNAseq analysis of single L7 motor neuron isolated following short-term or long-term sensitization training from 8,10 and 12 months old Aplysia corresponding to mature, late mature and senescent stages have identified progressive impairments in transcriptional plasticity during aging. Specifically, we uncover modulation of the expression of multiple lncRNAs, and mRNAs encoding transcription factors, regulators of translation, RNA methylation, and cytoskeletal rearrangements during learning and their deficits during aging. Our comparative gene expression analysis also revealed the recruitment of specific transcriptional changes in two other neurons, a motor neuron L11 and giant cholinergic neuron R2 whose roles in long-term sensitization were previously not known. Taken together, our analyses establish cell type specific escalating impairments in the expression of learning and LTM relevant components of transcriptomes during aging.

Unchanged PCNA and DNMT1 dynamics during replication in DNA ligase I-deficient cells but abnormal chromatin levels of non-replicative histone H1

Project description:DNA ligase I (LigI), the predominant enzyme that joins Okazaki fragments, interacts with PCNA and Pol d. LigI also interacts with UHRF1, linking Okazaki fragment joining with DNA maintenance methylation. Okazaki fragments can also be joined by a relatively poorly characterized DNA ligase IIIa (LigIIIa)-dependent backup pathway. Here we examined the effect of LigI-deficiency on proteins at the replication fork. Notably, LigI-deficiency did not alter the kinetics of association of the PCNA clamp, the leading strand polymerase Pol e, DNA maintenance methylation proteins and core histones with newly synthesized DNA. While the absence of major changes in replication and methylation proteins is consistent with the similar proliferation rate and DNA methylation levels of the LIG1 null cells compared with the parental cells, the increased levels of LigIIIa/XRCC1 and Pol d at the replication fork and in bulk chromatin indicate that there are subtle replication defects in the absence of LigI. Interestingly, the non-replicative histone H1 variant, H1.0, is present in the chromatin of LigI-deficient mouse and human cells. This alteration was not corrected by expression of wild type LigI, suggesting that it is a stable epigenetic change that may contribute to the immunodeficiencies linked with inherited LigI-deficiency syndrome.
