Dissecting the clonal nature of allelic expression in somatic cells by single-cell RNA-seq

ABSTRACT: Cellular heterogeneity can emerge from the expression of only one parental allele, however it has remained unknown to what degree patterns of random monoallelic expression of autosomal genes (aRME) are mitotically inherited (clonal) or stochastic (dynamic) in somatic cells. Here, we resolved this by applying allele-sensitive single-cell RNA-seq on primary mouse fibroblasts and in vivo human T-cells to simultaneously investigate clonal and dynamic aRME. Dynamic aRME affected a considerable portion of the transcriptome, with levels dependent on the cell’s transcriptional activity, but clonal aRME was surprisingly scarce (<1% of genes) and affected mainly lowly expressed genes. Consequently, the overwhelming portion of aRME occurs transiently and is scattered throughout somatic populations rather than, as previously hypothesized, confined to spatially restricted patches of clonally related cells.

Mechanism of monoallelic expression and allelic rheostat role of DNA methylation (RRBS)

Project description:In mammalian cells, large groups of genes show epigenetically controlled unequal transcription of maternal and paternal alleles. Thousands of autosomal genes subject to monoallelic expression (MAE) comprise the largest such group. The initial random allelic choice in these loci is followed by mitotically stable transmission of the allele-specific state, leading to stable epigenetic and functional differences between clonal cell lineages. Molecular mechanisms underpinning MAE maintenance are not known. We devised and performed a drug screen for reactivation of epigenetically silenced alleles in mouse cells, using a new strategy based on deep targeted allele-specific RNA sequencing, which can read out multiple loci simultaneously. We found that, contrary to previous observations, DNA methylation plays a key role in mitotic memory of MAE in multiple autosomal loci. Having established that a specific perturbation can affect multiple loci, we assessed genome-wide impact of the drug exposure in several clonal cell lines, identifying over 600 genes with allele-specific expression changing with DNA methylation. We found that multiple distinct states of allele-specific expression correspond to the extent of DNA methylation and can be stably maintained, indicating allelic rheostat role of DNA methylation. Our findings reveal a previously unappreciated interplay of genetic and epigenetic control of allele-specific expression and reinforce the role of such regulation in maintaining differences between developmentally equivalent clonal cell lineages.

Single-cell reconstitution reveals persistence of clonal heterogeneity in the murine hematopoietic system [WES]

Project description:We transplanted a single HSC into irradiated mice, creating a clonal hematopoietic system. This allowed us to study mitotically stable allelic imbalances at peripheral compartments (T cells, B cells).

Single-cell reconstitution reveals persistence of clonal heterogeneity in the murine hematopoietic system [RNA-seq]

Project description:We transplanted a single HSC into irradiated mice, creating a clonal hematopoietic system. Using RNA-Seq on the cDNA of the peripheral compartments (T cells, B cells), we studied mitotically stable transcriptional states of the alleles of the entire transcriptome on the differentiating HSC.

Advancing a Clinically Relevant Perspective of the Clonal Nature of Cancer

Project description:We used DNA content-based flow cytometry to distinguish and isolate nuclei from clonal populations in primary tissues from three disparate cancers with variable clinical histories. We then developed a methodology to adapt flow cytometrically purified nuclei samples for use with whole genome technologies including aCGH and next generation sequencing (NGS). Our results demonstrate that selected aberrations in the genomes of distinct clonal populations in each patient create clinically relevant contexts at least with respect to the cancer types profiled in this study. We applied DNA content based flow sorting to isolate the nuclei of clonal populations from tumor biopsies. Genomic DNA from each sorted population was amplified with phi29 polymerase. A 1ug aliquot of each amplified sample was digested with DNAse 1 then labeled with Cy5 using a Klenow-based commercial kit (Invitrogen). Each sample was hybridized with a pooled normal (46,XX) reference (Promega) to Agilent 244k CGH arrays. The use of highly purified objectively defined flow sorted populations provides high definition genomic profiles of clonal populations from pancreatic adenocarcinomas (PA), adrenal cortical carcinomas (ACC), and prostate adenocarcinomas (PC).

Targeting of DNMT3A hotspot mutations in Clonal Hematopoiesis and Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Project description:Somatic mutations in DNA Methyltransferase 3A (DNMT3A) with a hotspot in exon 23 at Arginine 882 (DNMT3AR882mut) are the most frequent single mutations in clonal hematopoiesis. Here we analyze the expression of genes and endogenous retrovirus (ERV) sequences in a murine model carrying human DNMT3A-R882H mutation in one allele of the endogenous DNMT3A with respect to normal condition and azacitidine treatment.

Expression profile of oesophageal epithelium basal cells comparing DNMaml expressing cells versus controls

Project description:Multiple cancers may arise from within a clonal region of preneoplastic epithelium, a phenomenon termed M-^Qfield changeM-^R. However, it is not known how field change develops. We investigate this question and analyse the behavior of scattered single esophageal epithelial progenitor cells expressing a mutation that inhibits the Notch signaling pathway (Dominant negative Maml).

Transcription profiling of human and mouse first passage vs. primary retinal sphere cells

Project description:The pigmented portion of ciliary epithelium in the adult mammalian eye harbors mitotically quiescent retinal sphere cells, which are capable of self-renewal and differentiating into retinal neurons when assayed in vitro; however, very little is known about the molecular mechanism controlling the proliferation and differentiation of these adult retinal stem cells or their molecular resemblance to mutipotent stem/progenitor cells during early eye development. This experiment studies the gene expression of first passage and primary human and mouse retinal sphere cells. Experiment Overall Design: this experiment include 4 samples and 12 replicates

Characterization of neuroendocrine tumors in heterozygous mutant MENX rats: a novel model of invasive medullary thyroid carcinoma [adrenal]

Project description:As overwhelming evidence coming from transgenic mouse models but also from MEN4 patients seem to suggest that loss or inactivation of a single p27 allele plays an important role in neuroendocrine tumorigenesis, we decided to perform a detailed analysis of the phenotype of rats heterozygous for the MENX-associated germline Cdkn1b mutation. We here show that the reduction to a single functional p27 allele predisposes MENX heterozygous rats to the development of neuroendocrine malignancies.
