The complex transcriptomics of RNA classes for biomonitoring and mechanistic studies

ABSTRACT: The effects of exposure to chemical compounds and/or particulate matter on genetic material, including the risks of disease, are frequently evaluated by analyses of biomarkers. Among them, RNA markers play an important role in understanding the changes in the dynamics of transcriptomic processes. Currently, most transcriptome analyses are based on an assessment of individual RNA molecules using qPCR techniques, the application of array approaches, or RNA sequencing techniques with the potential to detect novel transcripts. Despite methodological progress, limitations linked with RNA fragmentation remain and thus many important results can be lost. In this pilot study we tested a new methodological approach of RNA libraries preparation using the RiboMarker® platform in combination with Illumina sequencing to analyze the complex transcriptome, including fragmented RNAs. Four sets of samples collected from firefighters at three time points according to their exposure (before, after – immediately, after – a day later) were analyzed. A wide range of RNA types [non-coding RNAs (rRNA, tRNA, miRNA, snRNA, snoRNA, lncRNA, piRNA) and protein coding mRNAs] were detected which allowed us to track the dynamics of their expression in different time periods. The application of this comprehensive RNA profiling in a large future biomonitoring study is promising: (i) for identification of the novel biomarkers of specific exposures; and (ii) to study the complex mechanisms of transcription including protective adaptation changes, as well as potentially harmful deregulations increasing the risk of diseases, including cancer.

Genome-wide analysis of histone trimethylation in INMA cohort exposed to BPA revealed a global impact on telomeric binding proteins and histone acetyltransferase factors

Project description:This study was developed under the framework of the Human Biomonitoring for Europe Initiative (HBM4EU). We evaluated the possible impacts of BPA exposure in adolescent males from the INMA-Granada cohort (Spain) with the goal of identifying new biomarkers that could be useful in biomonitoring and epidemiological studies. Our hypothesis is that alterations in epigenetic regulation could lead to genetic instability in human subjects exposed to environmentally relevant doses of BPA.

A Streamlined Tethered Chromosome Conformation Capture Protocol

Project description:Background: Identification of locus-locus contacts at the chromatin level provides a valuable foundation for understanding of nuclear architecture and function and a valuable tool for inferring long-range linkage relationships. As one approach to this, chromatin conformation capture-based techniques allow creation of genome spatial organization maps. While such approaches have been available for some time, methodological advances will be of considerable use in minimizing both time and input material required for successful application. Results: Here we report a modified tethered conformation capture protocol that utilizes a series of rapid and efficient molecular manipulations. We applied the method to Caenorhabditis elegans, obtaining chromatin interaction maps that provide a sequence-anchored delineation of salient aspects of Caenorhabditis elegans chromosome structure, demonstrating a high level of consistency in overall chromosome organization between biological samples collected under different conditions. In addition to the application of the method to defining nuclear architecture, we found the resulting chromatin interaction maps to be of sufficient resolution and sensitivity to enable detection of large-scale structural variants such as inversions or translocations. Conclusion: Our streamlined protocol provides an accelerated, robust, and broadly applicable means of generating chromatin spatial organization maps and detecting genome rearrangements without a need for cellular or chromatin fractionation. Application of modified version of TCC protocl using different C. elegans strains (N2 and glp-1) in L1, and adult life stages.

Spatial transcriptomics advances the use of canine patients in cancer research: a study of tumor-bearing pet dogs enrolled in an osteosarcoma clinical trial

Project description:Pet dogs spontaneously develop many of the same tumor types as humans including osteosarcoma. Utilizing the canine patient model facilitates the study of novel therapeutics and biomarkers within the context of spontaneous carcinogenesis, inclusive of treatment resistance, metastatic progression and immune responses that mirror that observed in human cancers. Recent advances in spatial transcriptomics have improved our ability to utilize formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues collected at canine autopsy. These techniques allow the canine model to be investigated alongside murine models to inform human cancer research. Herein we present the first application of the GeoMx Canine Cancer Atlas to outcome-linked samples from canine patients enrolled in an osteosarcoma clinical trial.

Discovery of lncRNA biomarkers of prostate cancer

Project description:In the last decade, new high-throughput sequencing techniques have revealed the complexity of the human transcriptome, allowing the characterization of long non-coding (lnc)RNAs. Since their expression has been reported as very specific to tissue, developmental stage and pathological variations, some lncRNAs have been proposed as biomarkers for diagnosis as well as prognosis of tumors. In this project, we aim to build an exhaustive catalogue of long non-coding RNAs and isolate those which allow detection and risk assessement of prostate cancer. For this purpose we performed a high throughput total stranded RNA-sequencing of 24 samples (8 normal and 16 tumor tissues).

Specific methylation marks in promoter regions are associated to the pathogenic process of Chronic Chagas disease Cardiomyopathy by modifying transcription factor binding patterns [methylation]

Project description:Chagas disease, caused by Trypanosoma cruzi, is an endemic parasitical disease of Latin America, affecting 7 million people. Although most patients are asymptomatic, 30% develop complications, including Chronic Chagasic Cardiomyopathy (CCC), which ranges from moderate to severe stages depending on the cardiac ejection fraction. The pathogenic process remains poorly understood, although genetic and epigenetic factors have already been proposed. Based on bulk RNA-seq and EPIC methylation data, we investigated the genetic and epigenetic deregulations present in the moderate and severe stages of CCC. We identified 4 main biological processes associated with the pathology development, including immune response, ion transport, cardiac muscle processes and nervous system. An in-depth study of the transcription factors binding sites in the differentially methylated regions corroborated the importance of these processes. We also conducted a methylation study on blood to identify potential biomarkers for CCC. Our data revealed 198 differentially methylated positions (DMPs) that could serve as biomarkers of the disease, of which 61 are associated with disease severity.

Single-cell analysis uncovers preserved prostate cancer lineages and universally altered pathways in Matrigel-free patient-derived organoids

Project description:The application of patient-derived organoids (PDOs) in prostate cancer (PCa) research has been hampered by poor take-rates and benign overgrowth. We highlight the limitations of existing culture conditions and identify extracellular matrix (ECM) composition as a determinant of organoid outcome. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) reveals that Matrigel-free PDOs preserve patient-specific PCa cells with active AR signaling, and enrich in intermediate cells. In contrast, Matrigel fails to maintain primary PCa cells and produces in vitro basal-like cells divergent from patient samples. Furthermore, we redefine cell type-signatures, identify biomarkers discriminating tumor versus all other cell types, and show that expression of laminin-binding integrins is a hallmark of Matrigel-derived organoids. Finally, integrating previously published datasets with our data, we generate a Prostate PDO single-cell atlas (PPScA). The PPScA captures a spectrum of cellular identities, and reveals pathways universally altered in vitro. Our study provides methodological improvements for short-term cultures and cellular biology insights.

RNA-sequencing of single whole cells and nuclei from mouse dentate granule cells

Project description:Single-cell sequencing methods have emerged as powerful tools for identification of heterogeneous cell types within defined brain regions. Application of single-cell techniques to study the transcriptome of activated neurons can offer insight into molecular dynamics associated with differential neuronal responses to a given experience. Through evaluation of common whole-cell and single-nuclei RNA-sequencing (snRNA-seq) methods, here we show that snRNA-seq faithfully re-capitulates transcriptional patterns associated with experience-driven induction of activity, including immediate early genes (IEGs) such as Fos, Arc, and Egr1. SnRNA-seq of mouse dentate granule cells reveals large-scale changes in the activated neuronal transcriptome after brief novel environment exposure, including induction of MAPK pathway genes . In addition, we observe a continuum of activation states, revealing a pseudo-temporal pattern of activation from gene expression alone. In summary, snRNA-seq of activated neurons enables the examination of gene expression beyond IEGs,allowing for novel insights into neuronal activation patterns in vivo.
