Multi-omic analysis reveals HIP-55-dependent regulation of cytokines release.

ABSTRACT: HIP-55 (HPK1 [hematopoietic progenitor kinase 1] -interacting protein of 55 kDa) contains an actin-depolymerizing factor homology (ADF-H) domain at the N-terminus and a src homology 3 (SH3) domain at the C-terminus, which plays an important role in the T cell receptor (TCR) and B-cell receptor (BCR) signaling and immune system. In our previous studies, HIP-55 was found to be highly expressed in several types of tumors and function as a novel oncogenic signaling hub that regulates tumor progression and metastasis through defined functional domains, actin-binding and SH3 modules. However, the wider functions and mechanisms of HIP-55 are still unclear. Here, multi-omic analysis revealed that one of the main biofunctions of HIP-55 is the regulation of cytokines release. Furthermore, to investigate the role of HIP-55 in the cytokine production, a series Cytokine Antibody Arrays were performed to detect differentially expressed cytokines between control and HIP-55 knockdown cells. A total of 97 differentially expressed cytokines were identified from 300 cytokines in A549 cell. Bioinformatics analysis showed these differentially cytokines were mainly enriched in cancer signal pathways and IL-6 is the most critical hub in the integrated network. Analysis of RNAseq data from lung cancer patients showed that there is a strong negative correlation between HIP-55 and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in samples from lung adenocarcinoma patients. Our data indicated that HIP-55 may participate in cancer progression and metastasis via regulating cytokines release.

Project description:Huntington disease (HD) is an incurable neurodegenerative disease characterized by neuronal loss and astrogliosis. One hallmark of HD is the selective neuronal vulnerability of striatal medium spiny neurons. To date, the underlying mechanisms of this selective vulnerability have not been fully defined. Here, we employed a multi-omic approach including single nucleus RNAseq (snRNAseq), bulk RNAseq, lipidomics, HTT gene CAG repeat length measurements, and multiplexed immunofluorescence on post-mortem brain tissue from multiple brain regions of HD and control donors. We defined a signature of genes that is driven by CAG repeat length and found it enriched in astrocytic and microglial genes. Moreover, weighted gene correlation network analysis showed loss of connectivity of astrocytic and microglial modules in HD and identified modules that correlated with CAG-repeat length which further implicated inflammatory pathways and metabolism. We performed lipidomic analysis of HD and control brains and identified several lipid species that correlate with HD grade, including ceramides and very long chain fatty acids. Integration of lipidomics and bulk transcriptomics identified a consensus gene signature that correlates with HD grade and HD lipidomic abnormalities and implicated the unfolded protein response pathway. Because astrocytes are critical for brain lipid metabolism and play important roles in regulating inflammation, we analyzed our snRNAseq dataset with an emphasis on astrocyte pathology. We found two main astrocyte types that spanned multiple brain regions; these types correspond to protoplasmic astrocytes, and fibrous-like - CD44-positive, astrocytes. HD pathology was differentially associated with these cell types in a region-specific manner. One protoplasmic astrocyte cluster showed high expression of metallothionein genes, the depletion of this cluster positively correlated with the depletion of vulnerable medium spiny neurons in the caudate nucleus. We confirmed that metallothioneins were increased in cingulate HD astrocytes but were unchanged or even decreased in caudate astrocytes. We combined existing genome-wide association studies (GWAS) with a GWA study conducted on HD patients from the original Venezuelan cohort and identified a single-nucleotide polymorphism in the metallothionein gene locus associated with delayed age of onset. Functional studies found that metallothionein overexpressing astrocytes are better able to buffer glutamate and were neuroprotective of patient-derived directly reprogrammed HD MSNs as well as against rotenone-induced neuronal death in vitro. Finally, we found that metallothionein-overexpressing astrocytes increased the phagocytic activity of microglia in vitro and increased the expression of genes involved in fatty acid binding. Together, we identified an astrocytic phenotype that is regionally-enriched in less vulnerable brain regions that can be leveraged to protect neurons in HD.

Project description:Skeletal muscle, the largest human organ by weight, is relevant to several polygenic metabolic traits and diseases including type 2 diabetes (T2D). Identifying genetic mechanisms underlying these traits requires pinpointing the relevant cell types, regulatory elements, target genes, and causal variants. Here, we used genetic multiplexing to generate population-scale single nucleus (sn) chromatin accessibility (snATAC-seq) and transcriptome (snRNA-seq) maps across 287 frozen human skeletal muscle biopsies representing 456,880 nuclei. We identified 13 cell types that collectively represented 983,155 ATAC summits. We integrated genetic variation to discover 6,866 expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) and 100,928 chromatin accessibility QTL (caQTL) (5% FDR) across the five most abundant cell types, cataloging caQTL peaks that atlas-level snATAC maps often miss. We identified 1,973 eGenes colocalized with caQTL and used mediation analyses to construct causal directional maps for chromatin accessibility and gene expression. 3,378 genome-wide association study (GWAS) signals across 43 relevant traits colocalized with sn-e/caQTL, 52% in a cell-specific manner. 77% of GWAS signals colocalized with caQTL and not eQTL, highlighting the critical importance of population-scale chromatin profiling for GWAS functional studies. GWAS-caQTL colocalization showed distinct cell-specific regulatory paradigms. For example, a C2CD4A/B T2D GWAS signal colocalized with caQTL in muscle fibers and multiple chromatin loop models nominated VPS13C, a glucose uptake gene. Sequence of the caQTL peak overlapping caSNP rs7163757 showed allelic regulatory activity differences in a human myocyte cell line massively parallel reporter assay. These results illuminate the genetic regulatory architecture of human skeletal muscle at high-resolution epigenomic, transcriptomic, and cell state scales and serve as a template for population-scale multi-omic mapping in complex tissues and traits.
