CCPE: cell cycle pseudotime estimation for single cell RNA-seq data.

ABSTRACT: Pseudotime analysis from scRNA-seq data enables to characterize the continuous progression of various biological processes, such as the cell cycle. Cell cycle plays an important role in cell fate decisions and differentiation and is often regarded as a confounder in scRNA-seq data analysis when analyzing the role of other factors. Therefore, accurate prediction of cell cycle pseudotime and identification of cell cycle stages are important steps for characterizing the development-related biological processes. Here, we develop CCPE, a novel cell cycle pseudotime estimation method to characterize cell cycle timing and identify cell cycle phases from scRNA-seq data. CCPE uses a discriminative helix to characterize the circular process of the cell cycle and estimates each cell's pseudotime along the cell cycle. We evaluated the performance of CCPE based on a variety of simulated and real scRNA-seq datasets. Our results indicate that CCPE is an effective method for cell cycle estimation and competitive in various applications compared with other existing methods. CCPE successfully identified cell cycle marker genes and is robust to dropout events in scRNA-seq data. Accurate prediction of the cell cycle using CCPE can also effectively facilitate the removal of cell cycle effects across cell types or conditions.

psupertime: supervised pseudotime analysis for time-series single-cell RNA-seq data.

Project description:MotivationImprovements in single-cell RNA-seq technologies mean that studies measuring multiple experimental conditions, such as time series, have become more common. At present, few computational methods exist to infer time series-specific transcriptome changes, and such studies have therefore typically used unsupervised pseudotime methods. While these methods identify cell subpopulations and the transitions between them, they are not appropriate for identifying the genes that vary coherently along the time series. In addition, the orderings they estimate are based only on the major sources of variation in the data, which may not correspond to the processes related to the time labels.ResultsWe introduce psupertime, a supervised pseudotime approach based on a regression model, which explicitly uses time-series labels as input. It identifies genes that vary coherently along a time series, in addition to pseudotime values for individual cells, and a classifier that can be used to estimate labels for new data with unknown or differing labels. We show that psupertime outperforms benchmark classifiers in terms of identifying time-varying genes and provides better individual cell orderings than popular unsupervised pseudotime techniques. psupertime is applicable to any single-cell RNA-seq dataset with sequential labels (e.g. principally time series but also drug dosage and disease progression), derived from either experimental design and provides a fast, interpretable tool for targeted identification of genes varying along with specific biological processes.Availability and implementationR package available at github.com/wmacnair/psupertime and code for results reproduction at github.com/wmacnair/psupplementary.Supplementary informationSupplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

Pseudotime estimation: deconfounding single cell time series.

Project description:MotivationRepeated cross-sectional time series single cell data confound several sources of variation, with contributions from measurement noise, stochastic cell-to-cell variation and cell progression at different rates. Time series from single cell assays are particularly susceptible to confounding as the measurements are not averaged over populations of cells. When several genes are assayed in parallel these effects can be estimated and corrected for under certain smoothness assumptions on cell progression.ResultsWe present a principled probabilistic model with a Bayesian inference scheme to analyse such data. We demonstrate our method's utility on public microarray, nCounter and RNA-seq datasets from three organisms. Our method almost perfectly recovers withheld capture times in an Arabidopsis dataset, it accurately estimates cell cycle peak times in a human prostate cancer cell line and it correctly identifies two precocious cells in a study of paracrine signalling in mouse dendritic cells. Furthermore, our method compares favourably with Monocle, a state-of-the-art technique. We also show using held-out data that uncertainty in the temporal dimension is a common confounder and should be accounted for in analyses of repeated cross-sectional time series.Availability and implementationOur method is available on CRAN in the DeLorean package.Contactjohn.reid@mrc-bsu.cam.ac.ukSupplementary informationSupplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

A statistical framework for differential pseudotime analysis with multiple single-cell RNA-seq samples.

Project description:Pseudotime analysis with single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) data has been widely used to study dynamic gene regulatory programs along continuous biological processes. While many computational methods have been developed to infer the pseudo-temporal trajectories of cells within a biological sample, methods that compare pseudo-temporal patterns with multiple samples (or replicates) across different experimental conditions are lacking. Lamian is a comprehensive and statistically-rigorous computational framework for differential multi-sample pseudotime analysis. It can be used to identify changes in a biological process associated with sample covariates, such as different biological conditions, and also to detect changes in gene expression, cell density, and topology of a pseudotemporal trajectory. Unlike existing methods that ignore sample variability, Lamian draws statistical inference after accounting for cross-sample variability and hence substantially reduces sample-specific false discoveries that are not generalizable to new samples. Using both simulations and real scRNA-seq data, including an analysis of differential immune response programs between COVID-19 patients with different disease severity levels, we demonstrate the advantages of Lamian in decoding cellular gene expression programs in continuous biological processes.

Estimation of immune cell content in tumor using single-cell RNA-seq reference data.

Project description:BackgroundThe rapid development of single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) provides unprecedented opportunities to study the tumor ecosystem that involves a heterogeneous mixture of cell types. However, the majority of previous and current studies related to translational and molecular oncology have only focused on the bulk tumor and there is a wealth of gene expression data accumulated with matched clinical outcomes.ResultsIn this paper, we introduce a scheme for characterizing cell compositions from bulk tumor gene expression by integrating signatures learned from scRNA-seq data. We derived the reference expression matrix to each cell type based on cell subpopulations identified in head and neck cancer dataset. Our results suggest that scRNA-Seq-derived reference matrix outperforms the existing gene panel and reference matrix with respect to distinguishing immune cell subtypes.ConclusionsFindings and resources created from this study enable future and secondary analysis of tumor RNA mixtures in head and neck cancer for a more accurate cellular deconvolution, and can facilitate the profiling of the immune infiltration in other solid tumors due to the expression homogeneity observed in immune cells.

Estimation of immune cell content in tumour tissue using single-cell RNA-seq data.

Project description:As interactions between the immune system and tumour cells are governed by a complex network of cell-cell interactions, knowing the specific immune cell composition of a solid tumour may be essential to predict a patient's response to immunotherapy. Here, we analyse in depth how to derive the cellular composition of a solid tumour from bulk gene expression data by mathematical deconvolution, using indication-specific and cell type-specific reference gene expression profiles (RGEPs) from tumour-derived single-cell RNA sequencing data. We demonstrate that tumour-derived RGEPs are essential for the successful deconvolution and that RGEPs from peripheral blood are insufficient. We distinguish nine major cell types, as well as three T cell subtypes. Using the tumour-derived RGEPs, we can estimate the content of many tumours associated immune and stromal cell types, their therapeutically relevant ratios, as well as an improved gene expression profile of the malignant cells.

Characterizing and inferring quantitative cell cycle phase in single-cell RNA-seq data analysis.

Project description:Cellular heterogeneity in gene expression is driven by cellular processes, such as cell cycle and cell-type identity, and cellular environment such as spatial location. The cell cycle, in particular, is thought to be a key driver of cell-to-cell heterogeneity in gene expression, even in otherwise homogeneous cell populations. Recent advances in single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) facilitate detailed characterization of gene expression heterogeneity and can thus shed new light on the processes driving heterogeneity. Here, we combined fluorescence imaging with scRNA-seq to measure cell cycle phase and gene expression levels in human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). By using these data, we developed a novel approach to characterize cell cycle progression. Although standard methods assign cells to discrete cell cycle stages, our method goes beyond this and quantifies cell cycle progression on a continuum. We found that, on average, scRNA-seq data from only five genes predicted a cell's position on the cell cycle continuum to within 14% of the entire cycle and that using more genes did not improve this accuracy. Our data and predictor of cell cycle phase can directly help future studies to account for cell cycle-related heterogeneity in iPSCs. Our results and methods also provide a foundation for future work to characterize the effects of the cell cycle on expression heterogeneity in other cell types.

Clustering-independent estimation of cell abundances in bulk tissues using single-cell RNA-seq data.

Project description:Single-cell RNA-sequencing has transformed the study of biological tissues by enabling transcriptomic characterizations of their constituent cell states. Computational methods for gene expression deconvolution use this information to infer the cell composition of related tissues profiled at the bulk level. However, current deconvolution methods are restricted to discrete cell types and have limited power to make inferences about continuous cellular processes like cell differentiation or immune cell activation. We present ConDecon, a clustering-independent method for inferring the likelihood for each cell in a single-cell dataset to be present in a bulk tissue. ConDecon represents an improvement in functionality and accuracy with respect to current deconvolution methods. Using ConDecon, we discover the implication of neurodegenerative microglial inflammatory pathways in the mesenchymal transformation of ependymoma, recapitulate spatial patterns of cell differentiation during zebrafish embryogenesis, and make temporal inferences from bulk ATAC-seq data. Overall, ConDecon significantly enhances our understanding of dynamic cellular processes within bulk tissue samples.

scSTEM: clustering pseudotime ordered single-cell data.

Project description:We develop scSTEM, single-cell STEM, a method for clustering dynamic profiles of genes in trajectories inferred from pseudotime ordering of single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) data. scSTEM uses one of several metrics to summarize the expression of genes and assigns a p-value to clusters enabling the identification of significant profiles and comparison of profiles across different paths. Application of scSTEM to several scRNA-seq datasets demonstrates its usefulness and ability to improve downstream analysis of biological processes. scSTEM is available at https://github.com/alexQiSong/scSTEM .

A Cell Cycle-Aware Network for Data Integration and Label Transferring of Single-Cell RNA-Seq and ATAC-Seq.

Project description:In recent years, the integration of single-cell multi-omics data has provided a more comprehensive understanding of cell functions and internal regulatory mechanisms from a non-single omics perspective, but it still suffers many challenges, such as omics-variance, sparsity, cell heterogeneity, and confounding factors. As it is known, the cell cycle is regarded as a confounder when analyzing other factors in single-cell RNA-seq data, but it is not clear how it will work on the integrated single-cell multi-omics data. Here, a cell cycle-aware network (CCAN) is developed to remove cell cycle effects from the integrated single-cell multi-omics data while keeping the cell type-specific variations. This is the first computational model to study the cell-cycle effects in the integration of single-cell multi-omics data. Validations on several benchmark datasets show the outstanding performance of CCAN in a variety of downstream analyses and applications, including removing cell cycle effects and batch effects of scRNA-seq datasets from different protocols, integrating paired and unpaired scRNA-seq and scATAC-seq data, accurately transferring cell type labels from scRNA-seq to scATAC-seq data, and characterizing the differentiation process from hematopoietic stem cells to different lineages in the integration of differentiation data.

TraSig: inferring cell-cell interactions from pseudotime ordering of scRNA-Seq data.

Project description:A major advantage of single cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-Seq) data is the ability to reconstruct continuous ordering and trajectories for cells. Here we present TraSig, a computational method for improving the inference of cell-cell interactions in scRNA-Seq studies that utilizes the dynamic information to identify significant ligand-receptor pairs with similar trajectories, which in turn are used to score interacting cell clusters. We applied TraSig to several scRNA-Seq datasets and obtained unique predictions that improve upon those identified by prior methods. Functional experiments validate the ability of TraSig to identify novel signaling interactions that impact vascular development in liver organoids.Software https://github.com/doraadong/TraSig .
