An engineered CRISPR/Cas9 mouse line for simultaneous readout of lineage histories and gene expression profiles in single cells

ABSTRACT: Tracing the lineage history of cells is key to answering diverse and fundamental questions in biology. Coupling of cell ancestry information with other molecular readouts represents an important goal in the field. Here, we describe the CARLIN (for CRISPR Array Repair LINeage tracing) mouse line and corresponding analysis tools that can be used to simultaneously interrogate the lineage and transcriptomic information of single cells in vivo. This model exploits CRISPR technology to generate up to 44,000 transcribed barcodes in an inducible fashion at any point during development or adulthood, is compatible with sequential barcoding, and is fully genetically defined. We have used CARLIN to identify intrinsic biases in the activity of fetal liver hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) clones and to uncover a previously unappreciated clonal bottleneck in the response of HSCs to injury. CARLIN also allows the unbiased identification of transcriptional signatures associated with HSC activity without cell sorting.

Genome editing by dual nucleases records deep lineage hierarchy with high fidelity.

Project description:Single-cell lineage tracing based on CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing tracks both cell states and genetic lineages at a single-cell resolution. We developed DuTracer, a single-cell lineage tracing method, to avoid rapid target exhaustion and barcode information dropout. Firstly, we introduced this system into HEK293T cells and initiated DuTracer for tracing. We collected single-cell transcriptome and barcode amplicon, demonstrating that this system could record more hierarchical information with minimal inter-site deletions. Subsequently, we applied DuTracer to a mouse embryoid body differentiation model to track lineage transitions of different cell types. We revealed cell potency hierarchy during the stochastic differentiation process of mES cells.

Resolving fate and transcriptome of hematopoietic stem cell clones [multiple cell types]

Project description:Hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) differentiation into mature lineages has been studied under physiological conditions in vivo by genetic barcoding-driven lineage tracing. HSC clones differ in output (differentiation-inactive versus differentiation-active), and in fates (multilineage versus lineage-restricted). Single-cell sequencing data revealed transcriptome diversity of HSC and progenitors, and suggested differentiation pathways. However, molecular hallmarks of functionally distinct HSC clones have not been resolved because existing lineage tracing experiments did not provide transcriptomes, and single cell RNA sequencing lacked information on precursor-product relationships, and hence fate. To close this gap, here we introduce PolyloxExpress, a Cre recombinase-dependent DNA substrate for in situ barcoding in mice that is expressed as mRNA. PolyloxExpress barcoding allows parallel readout of clonal HSC fates (via comparison of barcodes in HSC and mature lineages), and transcriptomes (via single-cell RNA sequencing and barcode matching). Analysing a total of 91 individual HSC clones, we show that differentiation-inactive versus differentiation-active HSC clones reside in different regions of the transcriptional landscape. Inactive HSC clones are closer to the origin of the transcriptional trajectory, yet are proliferatively not more quiescent than active clones. Multilineage versus myelo-erythroid fate-restricted HSC clones show very few transcriptional differences at the HSC stage, yet pronounced fate-specific profiles at the multipotent progenitor stage. Projecting HSC clones with defined fates onto transcriptional landscapes provides a basis for future studies into the molecular determinants for stem cell fate.

Epigenetic evolution and lineage histories of chronic lymphocytic leukemia

Project description:Genetic and epigenetic intra-tumoral heterogeneity cooperate to shape the evolutionary course of cancer. In addition to genetic mutations, chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) undergoes diversification through stochastic DNA methylation changes – epimutations. To measure the epimutation rate at single-cell resolution, we applied multiplexed reduced representation bisulfite sequencing (MscRRBS) to healthy donors B cells and CLL patient samples. We observed that the common clonal CLL origin results in consistently elevated epimutation rate (i.e., low cell-to-cell epimutation rate variability). In contrast, variable epimutation rates across normal B cells reflect diverse evolutionary ages across the B cell differentiation trajectory, consistent with epimutations serving as a molecular clock. Heritable epimutation information allowed high-resolution lineage reconstruction with single-cell data, applicable directly to patient sample. CLL lineage tree shape revealed earlier branching and longer branch lengths than normal B cells, reflecting rapid drift after the initial malignant transformation and a greater proliferative history. To validate the inferred tree topology, we integrated MscRRBS with single-cell transcriptomes and genotyping, which confirmed that genetic subclones map to distinct clades inferred solely based on epimutation information. Lastly, to examine potential lineage biases during therapy, we profiled serial CLL samples prior to and during ibrutinib-associated lymphocytosis. Lineage trees revealed divergent clades of cells preferentially expelled from the lymph node with ibrutinib therapy, marked by distinct transcriptional profiles. These data offer direct single-cell integration of genetic, epigenetic and transcriptional information in the study of leukemia evolution, providing deeper insight into its lineage topology and enabling the charting of its evolution with therapy.

Tethering distinct molecular profiles of single cells by their lineage histories to investigate sources of cell state heterogeneity

Project description:Gene expression heterogeneity is ubiquitous within single cell datasets, even among cells of the same type. Heritable expression differences, defined here as those which persist over multiple cell divisions, are of particular interest, as they can underlie processes including cell differentiation during development as well as the clonal selection of drug-resistant cancer cells. However, heritable sources of variation are difficult to disentangle from non-heritable ones, such as cell cycle stage, asynchronous transcription, and measurement noise. Since heritable states should be shared by lineally related cells, we sought to leverage CRISPR-based lineage tracing, together with single cell molecular profiling, to discriminate between heritable and non-heritable variation in gene expression. We show that high efficiency capture of lineage profiles alongside single cell gene expression enables accurate lineage tree reconstruction and reveals an abundance of progressive, heritable gene expression changes. We find that a subset of these are likely mediated by structural genetic variation (copy number alterations, translocations), but that the stable attributes of others cannot be understood with expression data alone. Towards addressing this, we develop a method to capture cell lineage histories alongside single cell chromatin accessibility profiles, such that expression and chromatin accessibility of closely related cells can be linked via their lineage histories. We call this then leverage this indirect “coassay” approach "THE LORAX" and leverage it to explore the genetic and epigenetic mechanisms underlying heritable gene expression changes. Using this approach, we show that we can discern between heritable gene expression differences mediated by large and small copy number changes, trans effects, and possible epigenetic variation.

Kinetics of Adult hematopoietic stem cell differentiation in vivo

Project description:Adult hematopoiesis has been studied in terms of progenitor differentiation potentials, whereas its kinetics in vivo is poorly understood. We combined inducible lineage tracing of endogenous adult hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) with flow cytometry and single-cell RNA sequencing to characterize early steps of hematopoietic differentiation in the steady state. Labeled cells, comprising primarily long-term HSC and some short-term HSC, produced megakaryocytic lineage progeny within one week, in a process that required only 2-3 cell divisions. Erythroid and myeloid progeny emerged simultaneously by 2 weeks, and included a progenitor population with expression features of both lineages. Myeloid progenitors at this stage showed diversification into granulocytic, monocytic and dendritic cell types, and rare intermediate cell states could be detected. In contrast, lymphoid differentiation was virtually absent within the first 3 weeks of tracing. These results show that continuous differentiation of HSC rapidly produces major hematopoietic lineages and cell types, and reveal fundamental kinetic differences between megakaryocytic, erythroid, myeloid and lymphoid differentiation.

Memory of cell divisions directs the continuous process of primitive hematopoietic lineage commitment

Project description:Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) exist in a dormant state, and progressively lose regenerative potency as they undergo successive divisions. Why this functional decline occurs and how this information is encoded is unclear. To better understand how this information is stored, we performed RNA sequencing on HSC populations differing only in their divisional history. Comparative analysis revealed that genes upregulated with divisions are enriched for lineage commitment factors, and are regulated by cell cycle-associated transcription factors, indicating that proliferation itself drives primitive hematopoietic lineage priming. In contrast, downregulated genes are associated with an HSC signature and are targeted by the Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2). We find that Ezh2 targets HSC signature genes for repression, and a divisional history-dependent switch from Ezh1 to Ezh2 underlies HSC decline with progressive divisions. Thus cell divisions drive lineage priming and Ezh2 accumulation, which represses HSC signature genes and consolidates information on divisional history into memory.
