Integrating T cell receptor sequences and transcriptional profiles by clonotype neighbor graph analysis (CoNGA).

ABSTRACT: Links between T cell clonotypes, as defined by T cell receptor (TCR) sequences, and phenotype, as reflected in gene expression (GEX) profiles, surface protein expression and peptide:major histocompatibility complex binding, can reveal functional relationships beyond the features shared by clonally related cells. Here we present clonotype neighbor graph analysis (CoNGA), a graph theoretic approach that identifies correlations between GEX profile and TCR sequence through statistical analysis of GEX and TCR similarity graphs. Using CoNGA, we uncovered associations between TCR sequence and GEX profiles that include a previously undescribed 'natural lymphocyte' population of human circulating CD8⁺ T cells and a set of TCR sequence determinants of differentiation in thymocytes. These examples show that CoNGA might help elucidate complex relationships between TCR sequence and T cell phenotype in large, heterogeneous, single-cell datasets.

An open protocol for modeling T Cell Clonotype repertoires using TCRβ CDR3 sequences.

Project description:T cell receptor repertoires can be profiled using next generation sequencing (NGS) to measure and monitor adaptive dynamical changes in response to disease and other perturbations. Genomic DNA-based bulk sequencing is cost-effective but necessitates multiplex target amplification using multiple primer pairs with highly variable amplification efficiencies. Here, we utilize an equimolar primer mixture and propose a single statistical normalization step that efficiently corrects for amplification bias post sequencing. Using samples analyzed by both our open protocol and a commercial solution, we show high concordance between bulk clonality metrics. This approach is an inexpensive and open-source alternative to commercial solutions.

huARdb: human Antigen Receptor database for interactive clonotype-transcriptome analysis at the single-cell level.

Project description:T-cell receptors (TCRs) and B-cell receptors (BCRs) are critical in recognizing antigens and activating the adaptive immune response. Stochastic V(D)J recombination generates massive TCR/BCR repertoire diversity. Single-cell immune profiling with transcriptome analysis allows the high-throughput study of individual TCR/BCR clonotypes and functions under both normal and pathological settings. However, a comprehensive database linking these data is not yet readily available. Here, we present the human Antigen Receptor database (huARdb), a large-scale human single-cell immune profiling database that contains 444 794 high confidence T or B cells (hcT/B cells) with full-length TCR/BCR sequence and transcriptomes from 215 datasets. All datasets were processed in a uniform workflow, including sequence alignment, cell subtype prediction, unsupervised cell clustering, and clonotype definition. We also developed a multi-functional and user-friendly web interface that provides interactive visualization modules for biologists to analyze the transcriptome and TCR/BCR features at the single-cell level. HuARdb is freely available at https://huarc.net/database with functions for data querying, browsing, downloading, and depositing. In conclusion, huARdb is a comprehensive and multi-perspective atlas for human antigen receptors.

Single-cell and Spatial Transcriptomics Clustering with an Optimized Adaptive K-Nearest Neighbor Graph.

Project description:Single-cell and spatial transcriptomics have been widely used to characterize cellular landscape in complex tissues. To understand cellular heterogeneity, one essential step is to define cell types through unsupervised clustering. While typical clustering methods have difficulty in identifying rare cell types, approaches specifically tailored to detect rare cell types gain their ability at the cost of poorer performance for grouping abundant ones. Here, we developed aKNNO, a method to identify abundant and rare cell types simultaneously based on an adaptive k-nearest neighbor graph with optimization. Benchmarked on 38 simulated and 20 single-cell and spatial transcriptomics datasets, aKNNO identified both abundant and rare cell types accurately. Without sacrificing performance for clustering abundant cell types, aKNNO discovered known and novel rare cell types that those typical and even specifically tailored methods failed to detect. aKNNO, using transcriptome alone, stereotyped fine-grained anatomical structures more precisely than those integrative approaches combining expression with spatial locations and histology image.

Dissection of the Human T-Cell Receptor γ Gene Repertoire in the Brain and Peripheral Blood Identifies Age- and Alzheimer's Disease-Associated Clonotype Profiles.

Project description:The immune system contributes to neurodegenerative pathologies. However, the roles of γδ T cells in Alzheimer's disease (AD) are poorly understood. Here, we evaluated somatic variability of T-cell receptor γ genes (TRGs) in patients with AD. We performed deep sequencing of the CDR3 region of TRGs in patients with AD and control patients without dementia. TRG clones were clearly detectable in peripheral blood (PB) and non-neuronal cell populations in human brains. TRG repertoire diversity was reduced during aging. Compared with the PB, the brain showed reduced TRGV9 clonotypes but was enriched in TRGV2/4/8 clonotypes. AD-associated TRG profiles were found in both the PB and brain. Moreover, some groups of clonotypes were more specific for the brain or blood in patients with AD compared to those in controls. Our pilot deep analysis of T-cell receptor diversities in AD revealed putative brain and AD-associated immunogenic markers.

scNAT: a deep learning method for integrating paired single-cell RNA and T cell receptor sequencing profiles.

Project description:Many deep learning-based methods have been proposed to handle complex single-cell data. Deep learning approaches may also prove useful to jointly analyze single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and single-cell T cell receptor sequencing (scTCR-seq) data for novel discoveries. We developed scNAT, a deep learning method that integrates paired scRNA-seq and scTCR-seq data to represent data in a unified latent space for downstream analysis. We demonstrate that scNAT is capable of removing batch effects, and identifying cell clusters and a T cell migration trajectory from blood to cerebrospinal fluid in multiple sclerosis.

Genes Caught In Flagranti: Integrating Renal Transcriptional Profiles With Genotypes and Phenotypes.

Project description:In the past decade, population genetics has gained tremendous success in identifying genetic variations that are statistically relevant to renal diseases and kidney function. However, it is challenging to interpret the functional relevance of the genetic variations found by population genetics studies. In this review, we discuss studies that integrate multiple levels of data, especially transcriptome profiles and phenotype data, to assign functional roles of genetic variations involved in kidney function. Furthermore, we introduce state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms, Bayesian networks, support vector machines, and Gaussian process regression, which have been applied successfully to integrating genetic, regulatory, and clinical information to predict clinical outcomes. These methods are likely to be deployed successfully in the nephrology field in the near future.

A clonotype nomenclature for T cell receptors.

Project description:T cell receptor (TCR) nucleotide sequences are often generated during analyses of T cell responses to pathogens or autoantigens. The most important region of the TCR is the third complementarity-determining region (CDR3) whose nucleotide sequence is unique to each T cell clone. The CDR3 interacts with the peptide and thus is important for recognizing pathogen or autoantigen epitopes. While conventions exist for identifying the various TCR chains, there is a lack of a concise nomenclature that would identify both the amino acid translation and nucleotide sequence of the CDR3. This deficiency makes the comparison of published TCR genetic and proteomic information difficult. To enhance information sharing among different databases and to facilitate computational assessment of clonotypic T cell repertoires, we propose a clonotype nomenclature. The rules for generating a clonotype identifier are simple and easy to follow, and have a built-in error-checking system. The identifier includes the V and J region, the CDR3 length as well as its human or mouse origin. The framework of this naming system could also be expanded to the B cell receptor.

T Cell receptor clonotype influences epitope hierarchy in the CD8+ T cell response to respiratory syncytial virus infection.

Project description:CD8+ T cell responses are important for recognizing and resolving viral infections. To better understand the selection and hierarchy of virus-specific T cell responses, we compared the T cell receptor (TCR) clonotype in parent and hybrid strains of respiratory syncytial virus-infected mice. K(d)M2(82-90) (SYIGSINNI) in BALB/c and D(b)M(187-195) (NAITNAKII) in C57Bl/6 are both dominant epitopes in parent strains but assume a distinct hierarchy, with K(d)M2(82-90) dominant to D(b)M(187-195) in hybrid CB6F1/J mice. The dominant K(d)M2(82-90) response is relatively public and is restricted primarily to the highly prevalent V?13.2 in BALB/c and hybrid mice, whereas D(b)M(187-195) responses in C57BL/6 mice are relatively private and involve multiple V? subtypes, some of which are lost in hybrids. A significant frequency of TCR CDR3 sequences in the D(b)M(187-195) response have a distinct "(D/E)WG" motif formed by a limited number of recombination strategies. Modeling of the dominant epitope suggested a flat, featureless structure, but D(b)M(187-195) showed a distinctive structure formed by Lys(7). The data suggest that common recombination events in prevalent V? genes may provide a numerical advantage in the T cell response and that distinct epitope structures may impose more limited options for successful TCR selection. Defining how epitope structure is interpreted to inform T cell function will improve the design of future gene-based vaccines.

IMGT/HighV QUEST paradigm for T cell receptor IMGT clonotype diversity and next generation repertoire immunoprofiling.

Project description:T cell repertoire diversity and clonotype follow-up in vaccination, cancer, infectious and immune diseases represent a major challenge owing to the enormous complexity of the data generated. Here we describe a next generation methodology, which combines 5'RACE PCR, 454 sequencing and, for analysis, IMGT, the international ImMunoGeneTics information system (IMGT), IMGT/HighV-QUEST web portal and IMGT-ONTOLOGY concepts. The approach is validated in a human case study of T cell receptor beta (TRB) repertoire, by chronologically tracking the effects of influenza vaccination on conventional and regulatory T cell subpopulations. The IMGT/HighV-QUEST paradigm defines standards for genotype/haplotype analysis and characterization of IMGT clonotypes for clonal diversity and expression and achieves a degree of resolution for next generation sequencing verifiable by the user at the sequence level, while providing a normalized reference immunoprofile for human TRB.

Drug repurposing against breast cancer by integrating drug-exposure expression profiles and drug-drug links based on graph neural network.

Project description:MotivationBreast cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer deaths among women worldwide. It is necessary to develop new breast cancer drugs because of the shortcomings of existing therapies. The traditional discovery process is time-consuming and expensive. Repositioning of clinically approved drugs has emerged as a novel approach for breast cancer therapy. However, serendipitous or experiential repurposing cannot be used as a routine method.ResultsIn this study, we proposed a graph neural network model GraphRepur based on GraphSAGE for drug repurposing against breast cancer. GraphRepur integrated two major classes of computational methods, drug network-based and drug signature-based. The differentially expressed genes of disease, drug-exposure gene expression data and the drug-drug links information were collected. By extracting the drug signatures and topological structure information contained in the drug relationships, GraphRepur can predict new drugs for breast cancer, outperforming previous state-of-the-art approaches and some classic machine learning methods. The high-ranked drugs have indeed been reported as new uses for breast cancer treatment recently.Availabilityand implementationThe source code of our model and datasets are available at: https://github.com/cckamy/GraphRepur and https://figshare.com/articles/software/GraphRepur_Breast_Cancer_Drug_Repurposing/14220050.Supplementary informationSupplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
