Simultaneous measurement of biochemical phenotypes and gene expression in single cells.

ABSTRACT: Methods to measure heterogeneity among cells are rapidly transforming our understanding of biology but are currently limited to molecular abundance measurements. We developed an approach to simultaneously measure biochemical activities and mRNA abundance in single cells to understand the heterogeneity of DNA repair activities across thousands of human lymphocytes, identifying known and novel cell-type-specific DNA repair phenotypes.

Simultaneous Single Cell Gene Expression and EGFR Mutation Analysis of Circulating Tumor Cells Reveals Distinct Phenotypes in NSCLC.

Project description:While cancer cell populations are known to be highly heterogeneous within a tumor, the current gold standard of tumor profiling is through a tumor biopsy. These biopsies are invasive and prone to missing these clones due to spatial heterogeneity, and this bulk analysis approach can miss information from rare subpopulations. To noninvasively investigate tumor cell heterogeneity, a streamlined workflow is developed to scrutinize rare cells, such as circulating tumor cells (CTCs), for simultaneous analysis of mutations and gene expression profiles at the single cell level. This powerful workflow overcomes low-input limitations of single cell analysis techniques. The utility of this multiplexed workflow to unravel inter- and intra-patient heterogeneity is demonstrated using non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) CTCs (n = 58) from six epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutant positive NSCLC patients. CTCs are isolated using a high-throughput microfluidic technology, the Labyrinth, and their EGFR mutation status and gene expression profiles are characterized.

Simultaneous epitope and transcriptome measurement in single cells.

Project description:High-throughput single-cell RNA sequencing has transformed our understanding of complex cell populations, but it does not provide phenotypic information such as cell-surface protein levels. Here, we describe cellular indexing of transcriptomes and epitopes by sequencing (CITE-seq), a method in which oligonucleotide-labeled antibodies are used to integrate cellular protein and transcriptome measurements into an efficient, single-cell readout. CITE-seq is compatible with existing single-cell sequencing approaches and scales readily with throughput increases.

Simultaneous profiling of gene expression and chromatin accessibility in single cells.

Project description:Profiling multiple omic layers in a single cell enables the discovery and analysis of biological phenomena that are not apparent from analysis of mono-omic data. While methods for multi-omic profiling have been reported, their adoption has been limited due to high cost and complex workflows. Here, we present a simple method for joint profiling of gene expression and chromatin accessibility in tens to hundreds of single cells. We assess the quality of resulting single cell ATAC- and RNA-seq data across three cell types, examine the link between accessibility and expression at the CD3G and FTH1 loci in human primary T cells and monocytes, and compare the accuracy of clustering solutions for mono-omic and combined data. The new method allows biological laboratories to perform simultaneous profiling of gene expression and chromatin accessibility using standard reagents and instrumentation. This technique, in conjunction with other advances in multi-omic profiling, will enable highly-resolved cell state classification and more specific mechanistic hypothesis generation than is possible with mono-omic analysis.

Simultaneous Multiplexed Measurement of RNA and Proteins in Single Cells.

Project description:Significant advances have been made in methods to analyze genomes and transcriptomes of single cells, but to fully define cell states, proteins must also be accessed as central actors defining a cell's phenotype. Methods currently used to analyze endogenous protein expression in single cells are limited in specificity, throughput, or multiplex capability. Here, we present an approach to simultaneously and specifically interrogate large sets of protein and RNA targets in lysates from individual cells, enabling investigations of cell functions and responses. We applied our method to investigate the effects of BMP4, an experimental therapeutic agent, on early-passage glioblastoma cell cultures. We uncovered significant heterogeneity in responses to treatment at levels of RNA and protein, with a subset of cells reacting in a distinct manner to BMP4. Moreover, we found overall poor correlation between protein and RNA at the level of single cells, with proteins more accurately defining responses to treatment.

Simultaneous genotyping, gene expression measurement, and detection of allele-specific expression

Project description:By hybridizing mRNA to oligonucleotide arrays and searching for probes that are outliers in their probe set, we identify and genotype polymorhisms in two strains of yeast (BY, isogenic to S288C, and RM, a wild vineyard strain) and segregants from a cross between the two strains. We then use this mRNA based genotyping approach to study allele-specific expression in diploid hybrids from a cross between BY and RM. A 1:1 mixture of BY and RM parental mRNA is created and hybridized to arrays as a control in these allele-specific expression experiments. The S. cerevisiae strains BY4716, an S288C derivative, and RM11-1a, a haploid Bb32(3) derivative, are described elsewhere (Brem et al. 2002, Yvert et al. 2003). We grew cultures to 10e7 cells/mL in shake flasks at 175 rpm at 300 C in synthetic C medium. We followed the standard Affymetrix protocol for preparation of RNA samples and for hybridization of the samples to Affymetrix YGS98 expression arrays. In total, three cultures of the BY strain, three cultures of the RM strain, one culture of each of the two haploid segregants and the two diploid segregants hybrids, three cultures of the BY-BY hybrid, three cultures of the RM-RM hybrid, and six cultures of the BY-RM hybrid were analyzed. Values calculated using the method described by Zhang et al. (Nat Biotechnol. 21, 818-821). The results are part of Ronald et al. (2005) describing a novel use of oligonucleotide expression arrays to perform genotyping. This method requires the use of individual probe signals, rather than the overall probeset value as is produced by analysis programs such as MAS or RMA.

Simultaneous measurement of chromatin accessibility, DNA methylation, and nucleosome phasing in single cells.

Project description:Gaining insights into the regulatory mechanisms that underlie the transcriptional variation observed between individual cells necessitates the development of methods that measure chromatin organization in single cells. Here I adapted Nucleosome Occupancy and Methylome-sequencing (NOMe-seq) to measure chromatin accessibility and endogenous DNA methylation in single cells (scNOMe-seq). scNOMe-seq recovered characteristic accessibility and DNA methylation patterns at DNase hypersensitive sites (DHSs). An advantage of scNOMe-seq is that sequencing reads are sampled independently of the accessibility measurement. scNOMe-seq therefore controlled for fragment loss, which enabled direct estimation of the fraction of accessible DHSs within individual cells. In addition, scNOMe-seq provided high resolution of chromatin accessibility within individual loci which was exploited to detect footprints of CTCF binding events and to estimate the average nucleosome phasing distances in single cells. scNOMe-seq is therefore well-suited to characterize the chromatin organization of single cells in heterogeneous cellular mixtures.

Simultaneous measurement of DNA repair activities and mRNA abundance in single cells

Project description:New methods that measure the static abundance of DNA, RNA, and proteins in single cells are rapidly transforming biology. But these methods do not provide insight into dynamic cellular activities, precluding a complete understanding of cellular heterogeneity. We developed a method to measure enzymatic activities in single cells and used it to simultaneously measure DNA repair enzyme activities and mRNA expression. By including polyadenylated DNA hairpin substrates with defined lesions in a single-cell mRNA sequencing experiment, we measured repair activities by capturing repair intermediates and products catalyzed by activities in single cells.

Simultaneous visualization of both signaling cascade activity and end-point gene expression in single cells.

Project description:We have developed an approach for simultaneous detection of individual endogenous protein modifications and mRNA molecules in single cells in situ. For this purpose we combined two methods previously developed in our lab: in situ proximity ligation assay for the detection of individual protein interactions and -modifications and in situ detection of single mRNA molecules using padlock probes. As proof-of-principle, we demonstrated the utility of the method for simultaneous detection of phosphorylated PDGFR? and DUSP6/MKP-3 mRNA molecules in individual human fibroblasts upon PDGF-BB stimulation. Further we applied drugs disrupting the PDGFR? signaling pathway at various sites to show that this combined method can concurrently monitor the molecular effect of the drugs, i.e. inhibition of downstream signaling from the targeted node in the signaling pathway. Due to its ability to detect different types of molecules in single cells in situ the method presented here can contribute to a deeper understanding of cell-to-cell variations and can be applied to e.g. pinpoint effector sites of drugs in a signaling pathway.

Simultaneous measurement of chromatin accessibility, DNA methylation, and nucleosome phasing in single cells

Project description:Gaining insights into the regulatory mechanisms that underlie the pervasive transcriptional variation observed between individual cells necessitates the development of methods that measure chromatin organization in single cells. Nucleosome Occupancy and Methylome-sequencing (NOMe-seq) employs a GpC methyltransferase to detect accessible chromatin and has been used to map nucleosome positioning and DNA methylation genome-wide in bulk samples. Here I provide proof-of-principle that NOMe-seq can be adapted to measure chromatin accessibility and endogenous DNA methylation in single cells (scNOMe-seq). scNOMe-seq recovered characteristic accessibility and DNA methylation patterns at DNase Hypersensitive sites and enabled direct estimation of the number of accessible DHS sites within an individual cell. In addition, scNOMe-seq provided high resolution of chromatin accessibility within individual loci which was exploited to detect footprints of CTCF binding and to estimate the average nucleosome phasing distances in single cells.

Self-Reporting Transposons Enable Simultaneous Readout of Gene Expression and Transcription Factor Binding in Single Cells.

Project description:Cellular heterogeneity confounds in situ assays of transcription factor (TF) binding. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) deconvolves cell types from gene expression, but no technology links cell identity to TF binding sites (TFBS) in those cell types. We present self-reporting transposons (SRTs) and use them in single-cell calling cards (scCC), a novel assay for simultaneously measuring gene expression and mapping TFBS in single cells. The genomic locations of SRTs are recovered from mRNA, and SRTs deposited by exogenous, TF-transposase fusions can be used to map TFBS. We then present scCC, which map SRTs from scRNA-seq libraries, simultaneously identifying cell types and TFBS in those same cells. We benchmark multiple TFs with this technique. Next, we use scCC to discover BRD4-mediated cell-state transitions in K562 cells. Finally, we map BRD4 binding sites in the mouse cortex at single-cell resolution, establishing a new method for studying TF biology in situ.
