Spatial co-fragmentation pattern of cell-free DNA recapitulates in vivo chromatin organization and identifies tissue-of-origin

ABSTRACT: Three-dimensional chromatin organization varies across different cell types and is essential for gene regulation. However, current technologies are unable to assess in vivo genome-wide chromatin organization non-invasively. Here, we showed that long-range correlations in the fragment length of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) estimated from whole-genome sequencing recapitulate three-dimensional chromatin organization. The inferred organization is highly concordant with that measured by Hi-C in white blood cells from healthy donors, and is not explained by technical bias or sequence composition. Furthermore, the inferred organization reflects the differing genome organizations in the various cell types contributing to cfDNA, allowing quantification of cfDNA tissue-of-origin that is concordant with previous methods, but at much lower required DNA input. Our results, demonstrated in cfDNA from healthy individuals and cancer patients, may enable noninvasive monitoring of in vivo genome organization and accurate quantification of cell death in different clinical conditions.

Cell-free DNA comprises an in vivo, genome-wide nucleosome footprint that informs its tissue(s)-of-origin

Project description:Nucleosomes are the basic unit of packaging of eukaryotic chromatin, and nucleosome positioning can differ substantially between cell types. Here, we sequence 14.5 billion plasma-borne cell-free DNA (cfDNA) fragments (700-fold coverage) to generate genome-wide maps of in vivo nucleosome occupancy. We identify 13 million local maxima of nucleosome protection, spanning 2.53 gigabases (Gb) of the human genome, whose positions and spacings correlate with nuclear architecture, gene structure and gene expression. We further show that short cfDNA fragments - poorly recovered by standard protocols - directly footprint the in vivo occupancy of DNA-bound transcription factors such as CTCF. The sequence composition of cfDNA has previously been used to noninvasively monitor cancer, pregnancy and organ transplantation, but a key limitation of this paradigm is its dependence on genotypic differences to distinguish between contributing tissues. We show that nucleosome spacing in gene bodies and cis-regulatory elements, inferred from cfDNA in healthy individuals, correlates most strongly with transcriptional and epigenetic features of lymphoid and myeloid cells, consistent with hematopoietic cell death as the normal source of cfDNA. We build on this observation to show how in vivo nucleosome footprints can be used to infer the cell types that contribute to circulating cfDNA in pathological states such as cancer. Because it does not rely on genotypic differences, this strategy may enable the noninvasive cfDNA-based monitoring of a much broader set of clinical conditions than is currently possible. Sequencing of cfDNA libraries from healthy individuals, pooled healthy individuals and individuals with disease for the identification of nucleosomes and protection from other DNA binding proteins.

Genome-wide analysis of cfDNA fragmentation patterns and nucleosome positioning in dual enzyme-digested NIPT quality control materials (DENQCMs) and maternal plasma

Project description:The genome-wide analysis of cfDNA fragmentation patterns in DENQCMs and maternal plasma was performed by deep sequencing using Illumina Novaseq to confirm their biological characteristics. We first performed deep whole genome sequencing of the cfDNA extracted from DENQCMs and maternal plasma cfDNA. Then we analyzed the sequencing data and compared various characteristics of cfDNA fragmentation patterns, such as dinucleotide composition, nucleosome protection length, and nucleosome occupancy based on a windowed protection score (WPS), to the submitter-provided processed data from a healthy individual IH01 (GEO accession GSM1833276).

Genome-wide occupancy of Rif1FH in mouse ESC

Project description:Mammalian Rif1 defines the architecture of replication-timing domains interactions through the three-dimensional organization of the nuclear volume. Deletion of RIf1 in mammalian cells causes an initial alteration of three-dimensional chromatin organization which impacts first on replication timing and genome stability, but has long-term indirect repercussions also on gene expression.

Inferring Epigenetic and Genetic Biomarkers of cancer in cell-free DNA

Project description:Aims: Cancer is an important public health problem worldwide. In recent years, methods based on the analysis of plasma cfDNA which is as an emerging technology have been largely explored for noninvasive prenatal testing and cancer liquid biopsy. We inferred both epigenetic and genetic biomarkers of esophageal cancer (ESCA) in cfDNA with adapted SALP-seq. Materials & methods: Next Generation Sequencing libraries of cfDNA samples from ESCA patients and healthy people were constructed by using SALP-seq. We performed bioinformatics analysis on our sequencing data to find cancer-specific biomarkers. Results & conclusion: 54 important regulatory elements of ESCA, 49 epigenetic and 37 genetic ESCA-specific genes were inferred in cfDNA with SALP-seq, which may ultimately contribute to the development of effective diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for ESCA.

Mapping Transcription Factor Nucleosome Dynamics in Plasma

Project description:Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) contains a composite map of the epigenomes of its cells-of-origin. Tissue-specific TF binding inferred from cfDNA could enable us to track disease states in humans in a non-invasive manner. Here, we present a method to identify the subset of genome-wide transcription factor binding sites that are protected in plasma. We map binding at tissue-specific sites of constitutive factor CTCF and tissue-specific factors PU.1, LYL1, ER, and FOXA1 in plasma cfDNA. Our method also captures the chromatin structure around the factor-bound sites in their cells-of-origin. We define pure tumor TF signatures in an in vivo model by applying our method to estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer xenografts. The tumor-specific cfDNA protections of ER-α and FOXA1 reflect TF-specific accessibility across human breast tumors, demonstrating our ability to capture tumor TF binding in plasma. By modeling cfDNA from cancer donors as a mixture of healthy plasma and pure tumor signatures, we can identify tumor TF binding in humans. Thus, our method enables non-invasive mapping of the regulatory phenotype of cancer in humans.
