Integrative genomic analysis of blood pressure and related phenotypes in rats

ABSTRACT: Despite remarkable progress made in human genome-wide association studies, there remains a substantial gap between statistical evidence for genetic association and functional comprehension of the underlying mechanisms. To bridge the gap, we perform integrative genomic analysis of blood pressure and related phenotypes in the spontaneously hypertensive rat, an animal model of essential hypertension, searching causal genes and causal pathways. We identify 28 potential target genes, including rat homologs of human transcriptome-wide association study loci, for the tested traits and provide experimental evidence supporting the presence of key disease pathways and core disease-related gene loci in the genetic architecture of hypertension.

Transcriptomic response in the heart and kidney to different types of antihypertensive drug administration

Project description:To unravel antihypertensive drug-induced gene expression changes that are potentially related to the amelioration of end-organ damages, we performed in vivo phenotypic evaluation and transcriptomic analysis on the heart and the kidney, with administration of antihypertensive drugs to two inbred strains of (i.e., hypertensive and normotensive) rats. We chose to use six antihypertensive classes: enalapril (angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor), candesartan (angiotensin receptor blocker), hydrochlorothiazide (diuretics), amlodipine (calcium-channel blocker), carvedilol (vasodilating -blocker) and hydralazine. In the tested rat strains, four of six drugs, including two renin-angiotensin system (RAS) inhibitors, were effective for BP lowering, whereas the remaining two drugs were not. Besides BP lowering, there appeared to be some inter-drug heterogeneity in phenotypic changes, such as suppressed body weight (Bw) gain and Bw-adjusted heart weight reduction. For the transcriptomic response, a considerable number of genes showed prominent mRNA expression changes either in a BP-dependent or BP-independent manner with substantial diversity between the target organs. Noticeable changes of mRNA expression were induced particularly by RAS blockade, e.g., for genes in the natriuretic peptide system (Nppb and Corin) in the heart and for those in the RAS/ kallikrein-kinin system (Ren and rat Klk1 paralogs) and those related to calcium ion binding (Calb1 and Slc8a1) in the kidney. The heart data comprises of this submission and part of E-MTAB-9244.

Human iPSC-derived retinal pigment epithelium: a model system for identifying and functionally characterizing causal variants at AMD risk loci

Project description:We evaluate whether human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived retinal pigment epithelium (iPSC-RPE) cells can be used to prioritize and functionally characterize causal variants at age-related macular degeneration (AMD) risk loci. We generated iPSC-RPE from six subjects and show that they have morphological and molecular characteristics similar to native RPE. We generated RNA-seq, ATAC-seq, and H3K27ac ChIP-seq data and observe high similarity in gene expression and enriched transcription factor motif profiles between iPSC-RPE and human fetal-RPE. We performed fine-mapping of AMD risk loci by integrating molecular data from the iPSC-RPE, adult retina, and adult RPE, which identified rs943080 as the probable causal variant at VEGFA. We show that rs943080 is associated with altered chromatin accessibility of a distal ATAC-seq peak, decreased overall gene expression of VEGFA, and allele specific expression of a non-coding transcript. These results provide insight into the mechanism underlying the association of the VEGFA locus with AMD.

FHL5 cofactor mediates vascular disease risk by regulating smooth muscle cell transcriptional networks [CUT&RUN]

Project description:Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified hundreds of loci associated with vascular diseases such as coronary artery disease (CAD) and myocardial infarction (MI), and hypertension. However, the biological roles for many of these loci enriched in the vessel wall remains unknown. Among these, UFL1-FHL5 (chr6q16.1) emerged as a genome-wide significant locus in a recent CAD/MI meta-analysis. Here, we use an integrative approach leveraging human genetics, epigenomic profiling, and in vitro functional and ex vivo imaging analyses to prioritize FHL5 as the top candidate causal gene and reveal the molecular mechanisms of its pleiotropic genetic associations. Notably, FHL5 overexpression in coronary artery smooth muscle cells (SMC) increased vascular calcification and dysregulated processes related to extracellular matrix organization and calcium handling. Lastly, by mapping FHL5 binding sites genome-wide using CUT&RUN, we identified regulatory interactions with downstream disease loci having putative roles in SMC phenotypic modulation. Together, these trans-acting mechanisms may account for a portion of the heritable risk for CAD/MI and other complex vascular diseases.

Allelic heterogeneity and more detailed analyses of known loci explain additional phenotypic variation and reveal complex patterns of association.

Project description:The identification of multiple signals at individual loci could explain additional phenotypic variance ('missing heritability') of common traits, and help identify causal genes. We examined gene expression levels as a model trait because of the large number of strong genetic effects acting in cis. Using expression profiles from 613 individuals, we performed genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) analyses to identify cis-expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs), and conditional analysis to identify second signals. We examined patterns of association when accounting for multiple SNPs at a locus and when including additional SNPs from the 1000 Genomes Project. We identified 1298 cis-eQTLs at an approximate false discovery rate 0.01, of which 118 (9%) showed evidence of a second independent signal. For this subset of 118 traits, accounting for two signals resulted in an average 31% increase in phenotypic variance explained (Wilcoxon P< 0.0001). The association of SNPs with cis gene expression could increase, stay similar or decrease in significance when accounting for linkage disequilibrium with second signals at the same locus. Pairs of SNPs increasing in significance tended to have gene expression increasing alleles on opposite haplotypes, whereas pairs of SNPs decreasing in significance tended to have gene expression increasing alleles on the same haplotypes. Adding data from the 1000 Genomes Project showed that apparently independent signals could be potentially explained by a single association signal. Our results show that accounting for multiple variants at a locus will increase the variance explained in a substantial fraction of loci, but that allelic heterogeneity will be difficult to define without resequencing loci and functional work. Gene expression data was determined of peripheral blood samples (n=705) from InChianti cohort.

Transcription profiling of rat kidney samples from Dahl SS/J and Sprague Dawley animals placed on high salt and basal salt diets

Project description:Serum and glucocorticoid-induced kinase 1 (SGK1) activates the epithselial sodium channel (eNaC) in tubules. We examined renal SGK1 abundance in salt-adaptation and in salt-sensitive hypertension. Sprague-Dawley and Dahl salt-sensitive rats were placed on either 8% or 0.3% NaCl diets for 10 days. Plasma aldosterone levels were approximately 2.5-fold greater on 0.3% versus 8% NaCl diets in both rat strains. Both serum and glucocorticoid-induced kinase 1 transcript and protein abundance were less (P<0.01) in Sprague-Dawley rats and greater (P<0.01) in Dahl salt-sensitive rats on 8% versus 0.3% NaCl diets. The cDNA sequences of serum and glucocorticoid-induced kinase 1 in both strains of rat were the same. The present results provide evidence that the abundance of serum and glucocorticoid-induced kinase 1 in rat kidney may play a role in salt adaptation and the pathogenesis of hypertension and suggests that aldosterone is not the primary inducer of SGK1 in the Sprague-Dawley rat.

CRISPR screens identify gene targets at breast cancer risk loci [HiChIP]

Project description:Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified >200 loci associated with breast cancer (BC) risk. The majority of candidate causal variants (CCVs) are in non-coding regions and likely modulate cancer risk by regulating gene expression. However, pinpointing the exact target of the association, and identifying the phenotype it mediates, is a major challenge in the interpretation and translation of GWAS.
