Project description:BackgroundGuanosine rich sequences capable of forming G-quadruplex (G4) motifs are enriched near the gene transcription start site (TSS) in the human genome. When probed at the single gene level, G-quadruplex motifs residing in promoter regions show substantial effects on gene transcription. Moreover, further changes in transcription levels are noticed when G4-motifs are targeted with G-quadruplex-specific small molecules.ResultsGlobal studies concerning general changes of the transcriptome via targeting promoter-based G-quadruplex motifs are very limited and have so far only been carried out with compounds displaying weak selectivity for quadruplex sequences. Here we utilize two G-quadruplex-specific bisquinolinium derivatives PhenDC3 and 360A and investigate their effects on the expression of the HeLa S3 transcriptome. Our results show wide-spread changes in the transcriptome with specificity for genes with G-quadruplex motifs near their transcription start sites (TSS). Using real-time PCR we further confirmed the specificity of PhenDC3 and 360A as potent molecules to target G-quadruplex-regulated genes.ConclusionsSpecific effects on quadruplex-containing genes have been observed utilizing whole-transcriptome analysis upon treatment of cultured cells with quadruplex-selective bisquinolinium compounds.

Project description:Sequencing shows that macroH2A1-emerin interaction occurs in lamina-associated domains on a genome-wide scale. We decided to verify that the biotinylated signal is indeed enriched in the chromatin domains positioned at the nuclear periphery. In this regard, we purified the biotinylated chromatin from HeLa S3 clonal cell line stably coexpressing BirA-emerin and BAP-macro-H2A1 using proximity utilizing biotinylation native chromatin immunoprecipitation (PUB-nChIP). Instead of analysing the protein fraction, we isolated DNA from the biotinylated chromatin pull down and performed high throughput sequencing in order to get insight into the genome wide distribution of the isolated DNA. Importantly, PUB-nChIP-seq of the DNA purified from HeLa S3 clonal cell line stably coexpressing BirA-emerin and BAP-macro-H2A1 showed high levels of enrichment at the lamina associated domains, which were identified previously in HeLa cells using anti-Lamin B1 and anti-Lamin A chIP-seq (Lund et al., 2015). The enrichment of BirA-emerin labelled BAP-macro-H2A at LADs is visibly clear at both the chromosome level and at individual LADs. To test if this enrichment was significant, the genome was divided into 100kb windows and monte carlo simulation using 10,000 iterations was performed to examine if probes overlapping LADs were significantly different to the genomic average. For both replicates, at both LMNA and LMNB1 LADs, the enrichment of biotinylated BAP-macroH2A1 observed was significant relative to the genome wide average.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Viral infection causes multiple forms of human cancer, and HPV infection is the primary factor in cervical carcinomas. Recent single-cell RNA-seq studies highlight the tumor heterogeneity present in most cancers, but virally induced tumors have not been studied. HeLa is a well characterized HPV+ cervical cancer cell line. RESULT:We developed a new high throughput platform to prepare single-cell RNA on a nanoliter scale based on a customized microwell chip. Using this method, we successfully amplified full-length transcripts of 669 single HeLa S3 cells and 40 of them were randomly selected to perform single-cell RNA sequencing. Based on these data, we obtained a comprehensive understanding of the heterogeneity of HeLa S3 cells in gene expression, alternative splicing and fusions. Furthermore, we identified a high diversity of HPV-18 expression and splicing at the single-cell level. By co-expression analysis we identified 283 E6, E7 co-regulated genes, including CDC25, PCNA, PLK4, BUB1B and IRF1 known to interact with HPV viral proteins. CONCLUSION:Our results reveal the heterogeneity of a virus-infected cell line. It not only provides a transcriptome characterization of HeLa S3 cells at the single cell level, but is a demonstration of the power of single cell RNA-seq analysis of virally infected cells and cancers.

Project description:HeLa is the most widely used model cell line for studying human cellular and molecular biology. To date, no genomic reference for this cell line has been released, and experiments have relied on the human reference genome. Effective design and interpretation of molecular genetic studies performed using HeLa cells require accurate genomic information. Here we present a detailed genomic and transcriptomic characterization of a HeLa cell line. We performed DNA and RNA sequencing of a HeLa Kyoto cell line and analyzed its mutational portfolio and gene expression profile. Segmentation of the genome according to copy number revealed a remarkably high level of aneuploidy and numerous large structural variants at unprecedented resolution. Some of the extensive genomic rearrangements are indicative of catastrophic chromosome shattering, known as chromothripsis. Our analysis of the HeLa gene expression profile revealed that several pathways, including cell cycle and DNA repair, exhibit significantly different expression patterns from those in normal human tissues. Our results provide the first detailed account of genomic variants in the HeLa genome, yielding insight into their impact on gene expression and cellular function as well as their origins. This study underscores the importance of accounting for the strikingly aberrant characteristics of HeLa cells when designing and interpreting experiments, and has implications for the use of HeLa as a model of human biology.
