Project description:The simultaneous measurement of multiple modalities, known as multimodal analysis, represents an exciting frontier for single-cell genomics and necessitates new computational methods that can define cellular states based on multiple data types. Here, we introduce ‘weighted-nearest neighbor’ analysis, an unsupervised framework to learn the relative utility of each data type in each cell, enabling an integrative analysis of multiple modalities. We apply our procedure to a CITE-seq dataset of hundreds of thousands of human white blood cells alongside a panel of 228 antibodies to construct a multimodal reference atlas of the circulating immune system. We demonstrate that integrative analysis substantially improves our ability to resolve cell states and validate the presence of previously unreported lymphoid subpopulations. Moreover, we demonstrate how to leverage this reference to rapidly map new datasets, and to interpret immune responses to vaccination and COVID-19. Our approach represents a broadly applicable strategy to analyze single-cell multimodal datasets, including paired measurements of RNA and chromatin state, and to look beyond the transcriptome towards a unified and multimodal definition of cellular identity.

Project description:Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) is an invaluable tool for profiling cells in complex tissues and dissecting activation states that lack well-defined surface protein expression. For immune cells, the transcriptomic profile captured by scRNA- seq cannot always identify cell states and subsets defined by conventional flow cytometry. Emerging technologies have enabled multimodal sequencing of single cells, such as paired sequencing of the transcriptome and surface proteome by CITE-seq, but integrating these high dimensional modalities for accurate cell type annotation remains a challenge in the field. Here, we describe a machine learning tool called MultiModal Classifier Hierarchy (MMoCHi) for the cell-type annotation of CITE-seq data. Our classifier involves several steps: 1) we use landmark registration to remove batch-related staining artifacts in CITE-Seq protein expression, 2) the user defines a hierarchy of classifications based on cell type similarity and ontology and provides markers (protein or gene expression) for the identification of ground truth populations within the dataset by threshold gating, 3) progressing through this user-defined hierarchy, we train a random forest classifier using all available modalities (surface proteome and transcriptome data), and 4) we use these forests to predict cell types across the entire dataset. Applying MMoCHi to CITE-seq data of immune cells isolated from eight distinct tissue sites of two human organ donors yields high-purity cell type annotations encompassing the broad array of immune cell states in the dataset. This includes T and B cell memory subsets, macrophages and monocytes, and natural killer cells, as well as rare populations of plasmacytoid dendritic cells, innate T cells, and innate lymphoid cell subsets. We validate the use of feature importances extracted from the classifier hierarchy to select robust genes for improved identification of T cell memory subsets by scRNA-seq. Together, MMoCHi provides a comprehensive system of tools for the batch-correction and cell- type annotation of CITE-seq data. Moreover, this tool provides flexibility in classification hierarchy design allowing for cell type annotations to reflect a researcher’s specific experimental design. This flexibility also renders MMoCHi readily extendable beyond immune cell annotation, and potentially adaptable to other sequencing modalities.

Project description:T cell development in the human thymus has primarily been studied using antibody-based approaches, such as flow cytometry, which can create difficulties in translating phenotypic findings to scRNA-seq data. In order to bridge this gap and obtain paired surface protein and RNA information for individual cells, we carried out CITE-seq with a 143-plex customised antibody panel on human postnatal thymocytes. This was further combined with TCR-seq for TRA and TRB loci to gain insights into the V(D)J recombination progress in developing cells. Using information from all three modalities, we annotated over 30 different stages of human T cell development, which align with known surface marker profiles. This data was utilised in the context of the human thymus spatial atlas for high-resolution spatial mapping of developing T cells, which revealed differences in the migration and maturation kinetics of CD4 and CD8 lineage single positive thymocytes.

Project description:Single-cell transcriptomics (scRNA-seq) has transformed our ability to discover and annotate cell types and states, but deep biological understanding requires more than a taxonomic listing of clusters. As new methods arise to measure distinct cellular modalities, including high-dimensional immunophenotypes, chromatin accessibility, and spatial positioning, a key analytical challenge is to integrate these datasets into a harmonized atlas that can be used to better understand cellular identity and function. Here, we developed a computational strategy to "anchor" diverse datasets together, enabling us to integrate and compare single-cell measurements not only across scRNA-seq technologies, but different modalities as well. As one demonstration of the method, we anchor single-cell protein measurements with a human bone marrow atlas to annotate and characterize lymphocyte populations. The multimodal data, generated using CITE-seq, is provided here alongside a corresponding bulk validation experiment.

Project description:Probing epigenomic marks such as histone modifications at a single cell level in thousands of cells has been recently enabled by technologies such as scCUT&Tag. Here we developed a multimodal and optimized iteration of scCUT&Tag called nano-CT (for nano-CUT&Tag) that allows simultaneous probing of three epigenomic modalities at single-cell resolution, using nanobody-Tn5 fusion proteins. nano-CT is compatible with starting materials as low as 25 000 cells and has significantly higher resolution than scCUT&Tag, with a 16-fold increase in the number of fragments per cells. We used nano-CT to simultaneously profile chromatin accessibility, H3K27ac and H3K27me3 in a complex tissue - juvenile mouse brain. The obtained multimodal dataset allowed for discrimination of more cell types/states that scCUT&Tag, and inference of chromatin velocity between ATAC and H3K27ac in the oligodendrocyte (OL) lineage. In addition, we used nano-CT to deconvolute H3K27me3 repressive states and infer two sequential waves of H3K27me3 repression at distinct gene modules during OL lineage progression. Thus, given its high resolution, versatility, and multimodal features, nano-CT allows unique insights in epigenetic landscapes in different biological systems at single cell level.

Project description:The recently developed transcription, epitopes, and chromatin accessibility by sequencing (TEA-seq) and similar DOGMA-seq single-cell trimodal omics assays provide unprecedented opportunities for understanding cell biology, but independent optimization, benchmarking and evaluation are lacking. We explored the utility, pros and cons of DOGMA-seq compared to the bimodal cellular indexing of transcriptomes and epitopes by sequencing (CITE-seq) assay in activated and stimulated human peripheral blood T cells. We identified an optimal incubation time and concentration of digitonin (DIG) for cell permeabilization and found that single-cell trimodal omics measurements after DIG permeabilization were generally better than after an alternative “low-loss lysis” (LLL) permeabilization condition. Next, we found that DOGMA-seq with optimized DIG permeabilization and its ATAC library provides more information, even though its mRNA and cell surface protein antibody-derived tag (ADT) libraries have slightly inferior quality, compared to CITE-seq. Finally, we recognized the additional value of DOGMA-seq for studying lineage-specific T helper cells.

Project description:The identity and functions of specialized cell types are dependent on the complex interplay between signaling and transcriptional networks. Recently single-cell technologies such as CITE-seq have been developed that enable simultaneous quantitative analysis of cell-surface receptor expression with transcriptional states. To date, these datasets have not been used to systematically develop cell-context-specific maps of the interface between signaling and transcriptional regulators orchestrating cellular identity and function. We present SPaRTAN (Single-cell Proteomic and RNA based Transcription factor Activity Network), a computational method to link cell-surface receptors to transcription factors (TFs) by exploiting cellular indexing of transcriptomes and epitopes by sequencing (CITE-seq) datasets with cis-regulatory information. SPaRTAN is applied to immune cell types in the blood to predict the coupling of signaling receptors with cell context-specific TFs. The predictions are validated by prior knowledge and flow cytometry analyses. SPaRTAN is then used to predict the signaling coupled TF states of tumor infiltrating CD8+ T cells in malignant peritoneal and pleural mesotheliomas. SPaRTAN greatly enhances the utility of CITE-seq datasets to uncover TF and cell-surface receptor relationships in diverse cellular states.
