Differential analyses for RNA-seq: transcript-level estimates improve gene-level inferences

Project description:High-throughput sequencing of cDNA (RNA-seq) is used extensively to characterize the transcriptome of cells. Many transcriptomics studies aim at comparing either abundance levels or the transcriptome composition between given conditions, and as a first step, the sequencing reads must be used as the basis for abundance quantification of transcriptomic features of interest, such as genes or transcripts. Several different quantification approaches have been proposed, ranging from simple counting of reads overlapping given genomic regions to more complex estimation of underlying transcript abundances. In this paper, we show that gene-level abundance estimates and statistical inference offer advantages over transcript-level analyses, in terms of both performance and interpretability. We also illustrate that while the presence of differential isoform usage can lead to inflated false discovery rates in differential expression analyses on simple count matrices, and incorporation of transcript-level abundance estimates improves the performance in simulated data, the difference is relatively minor in several real data sets. Finally, we provide an R package (tximport) to help users integrate transcript-level abundance estimates from common quantification pipelines into count-based statistical inference engines.

Transcriptomic Differences Associated with TSC2 Gene Expression Loss in Lymphangioleiomyomatosis [mouse cells]

Project description:Pulmonary Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM), a rare lung disease that affects predominantly women, is characterized by proliferation of smooth muscle-like cells in the lungs, destruction of lung tissue, upregulation of VEGF-D, and growth of lymphatic vessels inducing a loss of pulmonary function. TSC2 gene mutations that render TSC2 inactive are a common finding associated with LAM. To better understand the function of the TSC2 gene, we sought to characterize differences in the transcriptome of cells where TSC2 is inactivated. RNA-Seq was used to measure transcript expression differences between TSC2-null mouse embryonic fibroblasts and TSC2-expressed mouse embryonic fibroblasts. The Illumina TruSeq method was used to prepare stranded poly(A)-selected RNA-Seq libraries, and 100bp paired-end reads were generated with an Illumina Hi-Seq 2500 instrument in high output mode. RNA-Seq data was analyzed using kallisto (http://pachterlab.github.io/kallisto/) and R.

Uncovering functional lncRNAs by unconventional scRNA-seq analysis

Project description:Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play fundamental roles in cellular processes and pathologies, regulating gene expression at multiple levels. Despite being highly cell-type specific, their study at single-cell level has been challenging due to their less accurate annotation and low expression. Here, we show that single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) preprocessing workflows using the pseudoaligner Kallisto enhance the detection and quantification of lncRNAs. Further, using single-cell multiome data, we demonstrate that the ATAC-seq profiles exhibit higher concordance when the scRNA-seq is processed by Kallisto. We then experimentally confirmed the expression patterns of cell-type specific lncRNAs exclusively detected by Kallisto and unveiled biologically relevant lncRNAs, such as AL121895.1, a previously undocumented cis-repressor lncRNA, whose role in proliferation of breast cancer cells was detected by Kallisto and overlooked by other pipelines. Our results emphasize the necessity for an alternative scRNA-seq preprocessing workflow tailored to lncRNAs that sheds light on the multifaceted roles of lncRNAs.

RNA-seq of purified T cells treated with KY1044 + anti-CD3 against anti-CD3 treated controls

Project description:KY1044 is a human monoclonal IgG1 that selectively binds to Inducible T cell CO-stimulator (ICOS). The co-stimulatory effect of KY1044-stimulated human T cells was analysed by RNA sequencing (RNA seq). Purified pre-activated (ICOS+ve) T cells were stimulated with either KY1044 and anti-CD3 or anti-CD3 alone and cells were harvested for RNA seq after 6hrs. Kallisto transcript abundance are provided in the absence of raw sequence reads.

Transcriptome analysis in D. discoideium (AX2) in different developmental stages

Project description:The goal of RNA-seq is to identify the differential expressed genes in the wild-type D.discoideum at different developmental stages (vegetative, streaming, mound and fruiting bodyies). Two biological replicates were assigned for each group and in total 8 groups were prepared for RNA-seq libraries with 500 ng mRNA as starting materials using NEXTflex Illumina qRNA-Seq Library Prep Kit (Bioo Scientific). We mapped about 20 - 30 million reads per sample to D. discoideum with bowtie2 workflow. The analysis pipeline started with pseudo-alignment of the reads using kallisto, followed by building an index and quantification process, which generated h5 files containing the raw binary files for preliminary differential analysis in sleuth. Differential analysis were conducted in EdgeR. The significant genes were deducted by computing NB exact genewise tests with corrected p < 0.05. Our results showed stage-specific gene expression profiles in different developmental stages.

Enhanced cardiac reprogramming by Inhibition of cyclooxygenase-2/prostaglandin E2/prostaglandin E receptor 4 signaling

Project description:Direct cardiac reprogramming from fibroblasts can be a promising approach for disease modeling, drug screening, and cardiac regeneration in pediatric and adult patients. However, postnatal and adult fibroblasts are less efficient for reprogramming compared with embryonic fibroblasts, and barriers to cardiac reprogramming associated with aging remain undetermined. In this study, we screened 8,400 chemical compounds, and found that diclofenac sodium (diclofenac), a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, greatly enhanced cardiac reprogramming in combination with Gata4, Mef2c, and Tbx5 (GMT) or GMT plus Hand2. Intriguingly, diclofenac promoted cardiac reprogramming in mouse postnatal and adult tail-tip fibroblasts (TTFs), but not in mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs). Mechanistically, diclofenac enhanced cardiac reprogramming by inhibiting cyclooxygenase-2, prostaglandin E2/prostaglandin E receptor 4, cyclic AMP/protein kinase A, and interleukin 1b pathway, silencing inflammatory and fibroblast programs, which were activated in postnatal and adult TTFs. Thus, anti-inflammation can be a new target for cardiac reprogramming associated with aging.

DCAF1 regulates Treg senescence via the ROS axis during immunological aging

Project description:Total RNA of regulatory T (Treg) cells and conventional CD4 T (Tconv) cells from young WT (2 months), aged WT (>18 months) and young Dcaf1-deficient mice was extracted and RNA-seq libraries were generated. Reads (32-45 Million reads per sample) were analyzed with Salmon software to align and quantify the transcript expression. R packages in Bioconductor, tximport and tximportData were used to aggregate transcript-level quantifications to the gene level, with the R package biomaRt for gene and transcripts mapping. The option "lengthScaledTPM" for countsFromAbundance in tximport was used to obtain the estimated counts at the gene level using abundance estimates scaled based on the average transcript length over samples and the library size. The option "lengthScaledTPM" for countsFromAbundance in tximport was used to obtain the estimated counts at the gene level using abundance estimates scaled based on the average transcript length over samples and the library size. For the differential expression (DE) analysis of RNA-seq data, gene-level count matrix was passed into by DESeq2 package as input directly from the tximport package. The normalized gene expression data was retrieved from DESeq2 analysis after regulated log (rlog) transformation (‘rlog’ in DESeq2). The z-score at gene-level average of normalized expression matrix was used to generate heatmap in Gene-E from Broad Institute (www.broadinstitute.org/ /GENE-E/). Gene Set Enrichment Analysis was performed using the Java application available from Broad Institute (www.broadinstitute.org/gsea/). Gene set databases including Hallmarks (h.all.v6.1.symbols.gmt) and KEGG (c2.cp.kegg.v6.1.symbols.gmt) from the Molecular Signatures Database (MSigDB) were used in the analysis. The aging-program gene set was from DEMAGALHAES_AGING_UP in MSigDB. One thousand gene set permutations were performed. FDR<0.05 was used for enriched terms, as is recommended when performing permutations by gene set.

Prostaglandin D₂ Induces Ca2+ Sensitization of Contraction without Affecting Cytosolic Ca2+ Level in Bronchial Smooth Muscle.

Project description:Prostaglandin D₂ (PGD₂) is one of the key lipid mediators of allergic airway inflammation, including bronchial asthma. However, the role of PGD₂ in the pathogenesis of asthma is not fully understood. In the present study, the effect of PGD₂ on smooth muscle contractility of the airways was determined to elucidate its role in the development of airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR). In isolated bronchial smooth muscles (BSMs) of naive mice, application of PGD₂ (10-9⁻10-5 M) had no effect on the baseline tension. However, when the tissues were precontracted partially with 30 mM K⁺ (in the presence of 10-6 M atropine), PGD₂ markedly augmented the contraction induced by the high K⁺ depolarization. The PGD₂-induced augmentation of contraction was significantly inhibited both by 10-6 M laropiprant (a selective DP₁ antagonist) and 10-7 M Y-27632 (a Rho-kinase inhibitor), indicating that a DP₁ receptor-mediated activation of Rho-kinase is involved in the PGD₂-induced BSM hyperresponsiveness. Indeed, the GTP-RhoA pull-down assay revealed an increase in active form of RhoA in the PGD₂-treated mouse BSMs. On the other hand, in the high K⁺-depolarized cultured human BSM cells, PGD₂ caused no further increase in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration. These findings suggest that PGD₂ causes RhoA/Rho-kinase-mediated Ca2+ sensitization of BSM contraction to augment its contractility. Increased PGD₂ level in the airways might be a cause of the AHR in asthma.
