Project description:For high-throughput sequencing and quantification of immunoglobulin repertoires, most methodologies utilise RNA. However, output varies enormously between recombined genes due to different promoter strengths and differential activation of lymphocyte subsets, precluding quantitation of recombinants on a per cell basis. To date, DNA-based approaches have used V gene primer cocktails, with substantial inherent biases. Here we describe VDJ-seq, which accurately quantitates immunoglobulin diversity at the DNA level in an unbiased manner. This is accomplished with a single primer extension step using biotinylated J gene primers. By addition of unique molecular identifiers (UMI) before primer extension, we reliably remove duplicate sequences and correct for sequencing and PCR errors. Furthermore, VDJ-seq captures productive and non-productive VDJ and DJ recombination events on a per cell basis. Library preparation takes 3 days, with 2 days of sequencing, and 1 day of data processing and analysis.

Project description:It remains unclear whether the variable biologic features of B-lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) reflect distinct cells of origin in the hierarchy of early B cell development. Recombination activating genes (RAG) 1 and 2 rearrange the immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH) locus in B lymphoid progenitors, resulting in unique variable (Vh), diversity (D), and joining (Jh) gene rearrangements. To test whether discrete properties of each B-ALL reflect derivation from distinct developmental B cell stages, we assessed the relationship between IgH variable gene (IGHV) characteristics and gene expression. Using targeted, pre-treatment IgH sequencing of 22 patients’ B-ALL, we discovered 2 distinct groups: leukemias with RAG-mediated intra-clonal IGHV sequence diversification (‘diverse’; N=9, 40.9%) and those lacking diversity (‘homogeneous’; N=10, 45.5%). Three patients (13.6%) lacked a dominant IgH sequence. In the ‘diverse’ cohort, we observed extensive subclone evolution arising from Vh gene recombination after neoplastic transformation (median: 482 subclones; range 2-2600). In the ‘homogeneous’ cohort, all IgH clones lacked subclone evolution. The ‘diverse’ cohort demonstrated enriched expression of genes associated with regulation of a hematopoietic stem cell state, while ‘homogeneous’ cases showed enriched expression of genes involving cell fate commitment. Furthermore, distinct IgH clonotypes within a single patient could be individually diverse or homogenous. Single cell analysis indicated that within a single patient, only occasional IgH clonotypes were expressed; IGHV-expressing leukemia cells were characterized by distinctive phenotypes including RAG1 pathway up-expression. In summary, pre-treatment IgH composition reflects the B cell stage at leukemic initiation and provides insights about the biologic mechanisms of genetic diversity in B-ALL.

Project description:Mycobacterium tuberculosis infects two billion people across the globe, and results in 8-9 million new tuberculosis (TB) cases and 1-1.5 million deaths each year. Most patients have no known genetic basis that predisposes them to disease. Here, we investigate the complex genetic basis of pulmonary TB by modelling human genetic diversity with the Diversity Outbred mouse population. When infected with M. tuberculosis, one-third develop early onset, rapidly progressive, necrotizing granulomas and succumb within 60 days. The remaining develop non-necrotizing granulomas and survive longer than 60 days. Genetic mapping using immune and inflammatory mediators; and clinical, microbiological, and granuloma correlates of disease identified five new loci on mouse chromosomes 1, 2, 4, 16; and three known loci on chromosomes 3 and 17. Further, multiple positively correlated traits shared loci on chromosomes 1, 16, and 17 and had similar patterns of allele effects, suggesting these loci contain critical genetic regulators of inflammatory responses to M. tuberculosis. To narrow the list of candidate genes, we used a machine learning strategy that integrated gene expression signatures from lungs of M. tuberculosis-infected Diversity Outbred mice with gene interaction networks to generate scores representing functional relationships. The scores were used to rank candidates for each mapped trait, resulting in 11 candidate genes: Ncf2, Fam20b, S100a8, S100a9, Itgb5, Fstl1, Zbtb20, Ddr1, Ier3, Vegfa, and Zfp318. Although all candidates have roles in infection, inflammation, cell migration, extracellular matrix remodeling, or intracellular signaling, and all contain single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), SNPs in only four genes (S100a8, Itgb5, Fstl1, Zfp318) are predicted to have deleterious effects on protein functions. We performed methodological and candidate validations to (i) assess biological relevance of predicted allele effects by showing that Diversity Outbred mice carrying PWH/PhJ alleles at the H-2 locus on chromosome 17 QTL have shorter survival; (ii) confirm accuracy of predicted allele effects by quantifying S100A8 protein in inbred founder strains; and (iii) infection of C57BL/6 mice deficient for the S100a8 gene. Overall, this body of work demonstrates that systems genetics using Diversity Outbred mice can identify new (and known) QTLs and functionally relevant gene candidates that may be major regulators of complex host-pathogens interactions contributing to granuloma necrosis and acute inflammation in pulmonary TB.

Project description:Isolates of the gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori harvested from different individuals are highly polymorphic. Strain variation also has been observed within a single host. To more fully ascertain the extent of H. pylori genetic diversity within the ecological niche of its natural host, we harvested additional isolates of the sequenced H. pylori strain J99 from its human source patient after a 6-year interval. Randomly amplified polymorphic DNA PCR and DNA sequencing of four unlinked loci indicated that these isolates were closely related to the original strain. In contrast, microarray analysis revealed differences in genetic content among all of the isolates that were not detected by randomly amplified polymorphic DNA PCR or sequence analysis. Several ORFs from loci scattered throughout the chromosome in the archival strain did not hybridize with DNA from the recent strains, including multiple ORFs within the J99 plasticity zone. In addition, DNA from the recent isolates hybridized with probes for ORFs specific for the other fully sequenced H. pylori strain 26695, including a putative traG homolog. Among the additional J99 isolates, patterns of genetic diversity were distinct both when compared with each other and to the original prototype isolate. These results indicate that within an apparently homogeneous population, as determined by macroscale comparison and nucleotide sequence analysis, remarkable genetic differences exist among single-colony isolates of H. pylori. Direct evidence that H. pylori has the capacity to lose and possibly acquire exogenous DNA is consistent with a model of continuous microevolution within its cognate host.

Project description:Immunoglobulin G (IgG) proteins are known for the huge diversity of the variable domains of their heavy and light chains, aimed at protecting each individual against foreign antigens. The IgG also harbor specific polymorphism concentrated in the CH2 and CH3-CHS constant regions located on the Fc fragment of their heavy chains. But this individual particularity relies only on a few amino acids among which some could make accurate sequence determination a challenge for mass spectrometry-based techniques. The purpose of the study was to bring a molecular validation of proteomic results by the sequencing of encoding DNA fragments. It was performed using ten individual samples (DNA and sera) selected on the basis of their Gm (gamma marker) allotype polymorphism in order to cover the main immunoglobulin heavy gamma (IGHG) gene diversity. Gm allotypes, reflecting part of this diversity, were determined by a serological method. On its side, the IGH locus comprises four functional IGHG genes totalizing 34 alleles and encoding the four IgG subclasses. The genomic study focused on the nucleotide polymorphism of the CH2 and CH3-CHS exons and of the intron. Despite strong sequence identity, four pairs of specific gene amplification primers could be designed. Additional primers were identified to perform the subsequent sequencing. The nucleotide sequences obtained were first assigned to a specific IGHG gene, and then IGHG alleles were deduced using a home-made decision tree reading of the nucleotide sequences. IGHG amino acid (AA) alleles were determined by mass spectrometry. Identical results were found at 95% between alleles identified by proteomics and those deduced from genomics. These results validate the proteomic approach which could be used for diagnostic purposes, namely for a mother-and-child differential IGHG detection in a context of suspicion of congenital infection.
