Single-cell epigenomic variability reveals functional cancer heterogeneity

ABSTRACT: Background: Cell-to-cell heterogeneity is a major driver of cancer evolution, progression, and emergence of drug resistance. Epigenomic variation at the single-cell level can rapidly create cancer heterogeneity, but is difficult to detect and assess functionally. Results: We develop a strategy to bridge the gap between measurement and function in single-cell epigenomics. Using single-cell chromatin accessibility and RNA-seq data in K562 leukemic cells, we identify the cell surface marker CD24 as co-varying with chromatin accessibility changes linked to GATA transcription factors in single cells. Fluorescence-activated cell sorting of CD24 high vs. low cells prospectively isolated GATA1 and GATA2 high vs. low cells. GATA high vs. low cells express differential gene regulatory networks, differential sensitivity to the drug imatinib mesylate, and differential self-renewal capacity. Lineage tracing experiments show that GATA/CD24hi cells have the capability to rapidly reconstitute the heterogeneity within the entire starting population, suggesting that GATA expression levels drive a phenotypically relevant source of epigenomic plasticity. Conclusion: Single-cell chromatin accessibility can guide prospective characterization of cancer heterogeneity. Epigenomic subpopulations in cancer impact drug sensitivity and the clonal dynamics of cancer evolution.

Immunophenotyping and Transcriptomic Outcomes in PDX-Derived TNBC Tissue

Project description:Cancer tissue functions as an ecosystem of a diverse set of cells that interact in a complex tumor microenvironment. Genomic tools applied to biopsies in bulk fail to account for this tumor heterogeneity, whereas single-cell imaging methods limit the number of cells which can be assessed or are very resource intensive. The current study presents methods based on flow cytometric analysis and cell sorting using known cell surface markers (CXCR4/CD184, CD24, THY1/CD90) to identify and interrogate distinct groups of cells in triple-negative breast cancer clinical biopsy specimens from patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models. The results demonstrate that flow cytometric analysis allows a relevant subgrouping of cancer tissue and that sorting of these subgroups provides insights into cancer cell populations with unique, reproducible, and functionally divergent gene expression profiles. The discovery of a drug resistance signature implies that uncovering the functional interaction between these populations will lead to deeper understanding of cancer progression and drug response.

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.

Transcriptome analysis using RNA-seq in human mammary epithelial cells

Project description:Epigenome delineates lineage-specific transcriptional programs and restricts cell plasticity to prevent non-physiological cell fate transitions. Although cell diversification fosters tumor evolution and therapy resistance, upstream mechanisms that regulate the stability and plasticity of cancer epigenome remain elusive. Here, we show that 2-hydroxyglutarate (2HG) not only suppresses DNA repair but also mediates high-plasticity chromatin landscape. A combination of single-cell epigenomic and multi-omic approaches demonstrates that 2HG disarranges otherwise well-preserved stable nucleosome positioning and promotes cell-to-cell variability. 2HG induces loss of motif accessibility to luminal-defining transcriptional factors FOXA1, FOXP1 and GATA3 and a shift from luminal to basal-like gene expression. Breast tumors with high 2HG exhibit enhanced heterogeneity with undifferentiated epigenomic signatures linked to adverse patient prognosis. Further, ascorbate-2-phosphate (A2P) eradicates heterogeneity and impairs growth of high 2HG-producing breast cancer cells. These findings suggest 2HG as a key determinant of cancer plasticity and provide a rational strategy to counteract tumor cell evolution.

Single-cell epigenomics maps the continuous regulatory landscape of human hematopoietic differentiation [bulk ATAC-Seq]

Project description:Normal human hematopoiesis involves cellular differentiation of multipotent cells into progressively more lineage-restricted states. While epigenomic landscapes of this process have been explored in immunophenotypically-defined populations, the single-cell regulatory variation that defines hematopoietic differentiation has been hidden by ensemble averaging. We generated single-cell chromatin accessibility landscapes across 8 populations of immunophenotypically-defined human hematopoietic cell types. Using bulk chromatin accessibility profiles to scaffold our single-cell data analysis, we constructed an epigenomic landscape of human hematopoiesis and characterized epigenomic heterogeneity within phenotypically sorted populations to find epigenomic lineage-bias toward different developmental branches in multipotent stem cell states. We identify and isolate sub-populations within classically-defined granulocyte-macrophage progenitors (GMPs) and use ATAC-seq and RNA-seq to confirm that GMPs are epigenomically and transcriptomically heterogeneous. Furthermore, we identified transcription factors and cis-regulatory elements linked to changes in chromatin accessibility within cellular populations and across a continuous myeloid developmental trajectory, and observe relatively simple TF motif dynamics give rise to a broad diversity of accessibility dynamics at cis-regulatory elements. Overall, this work provides a template for exploration of complex regulatory dynamics in primary human tissues at the ultimate level of granular specificity – the single cell.

Molecular and epigenetic characterization of the signal transducer CD24 in germ cell tumors

Project description:Type II germ cell tumors (GCTs) are with more than 90% the most common neoplasia in young men of age 14 - 45 years. It is generally accepted that GCTs arise from a common precursor lesion, called germ cell neoplasia in situ (GCNIS), eventually developing into seminomas or non-seminomas. The non-seminomatous stem-cell like embryonal carcinomas (EC) can further differentiate into teratomas (TE), yolk sac tumors (YST), or choriocarcinomas (CC). Orchiectomy followed by chemo- or radiotherapy is a widely used procedure in the treatment of type II GCTs, leading to high cure rates of up to 90%. Nevertheless, about 10 - 15% of patients with progressive disease relapse as a result of drug resistance and are condemned for a poor prognosis and a short survival of only a few months. Cluster of differentiation 24 (CD24) is a small, mucin-like glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchored membrane molecule that functions both, in signal transduction and as an adhesion molecule. This glycoprotein is mainly expressed on the surface of hematopoietic, neural, muscular, and epithelial cells. Moreover, CD24 has been implicated in tumor metastasis, as fucosylated CD24 interacts with P- and E-selectin, allowing invasion of tumor cells to distal sites. High expression or amplifications of CD24 has been described in a variety of solid malignancies, such as non-small cell lung carcinoma, gliomas, breast cancer, retinoblastoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, renal cell carcinoma, cervical carcinoma, prostate cancer, urothelial carcinoma, pineal parenchymal tumors, and ovarian cancer. In this study, we investigated the putative function of CD24 and its interaction partners in (cisplatin-resistant) GCT cell lines by generating CD24-deficient EC cells by CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene editing. Changes in the proteome between CD24-deficient cells and parental cells were measured by liquid-chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (LS-MS).
