Interpreting type 1 diabetes risk with genetics and single cell epigenomics

ABSTRACT: Genetic risk variants identified in genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of complex disease are primarily non-coding, and translating risk variants into mechanistic insight requires detailed gene regulatory maps in disease-relevant cell types. Here, we combined a GWAS of type 1 diabetes (T1D) in 520,580 samples with candidate cis-regulatory elements (cCREs) in pancreas and peripheral blood mononuclear cell types defined using single nucleus ATAC-seq (snATAC-seq) of 131,554 nuclei. T1D risk variants were enriched in cCREs active in T cells and additional cell types, including acinar and ductal cells of the exocrine pancreas. Risk variants at multiple T1D signals overlapped exocrine-specific cCREs linked to genes with exocrine-specific expression. At the CFTR locus, T1D risk variant rs7795896 mapped in a ductal-specific cCRE which regulated CFTR, and the risk allele reduced transcription factor binding, enhancer activity and CFTR expression in ductal cells. These findings support a role for the exocrine pancreas in T1D pathogenesis and highlight the power of large-scale GWAS and single cell epigenomics for understanding the cellular origins of complex disease.

Intestinal metaproteomics reveals host-microbiota interactions in subjects at risk for type 1 diabetes

Project description:Dysbiosis of the gut microbiota has been linked to disease pathogenesis in type 1 diabetes (T1D), yet the functional consequences to the host of this dysbiosis is unknown. Here, we have performed a metaproteomic analysis of 103 stool samples from subjects that either had recent-onset T1D, were high-risk autoantibody positive or low-risk autoantibody negative relatives of individuals with beta cell autoimmunity or healthy individuals to identify signatures in host and microbial proteins associated with disease risk. Multivariate modelling analysis demonstrated that both human host proteins and microbial derived proteins could be used to differentiate new-onset and seropositive individuals from low-risk and healthy controls. Significant alterations were identified between subjects with T1D or islet autoimmunity versus autoantibody negative and control subjects in the prevalence of individual host proteins associated with exocrine pancreas function, inflammation and mucosal function. Data integrationIntegrative analysis combining the metaproteomic data with bacterial abundance showed that taxa that were depleted in new-onset T1D patients were positively associated with host proteins involved in maintaining function of the mucous barrier, microvilli adhesion and exocrine pancreas. These data support the notion that T1D patients have increased intestinal inflammation and decreased barrier function. They also confirmed that pancreatic exocrine dysfunction occurs in new-onset T1D patients and show for the first time that this dysfunction is present in high-risk individuals prior to disease onset. Our data has identified a unique T1D-associated signature in stool that may be useful as a means to monitor disease progression or response to therapies aimed at restoring a healthy microbiota.

Type 1 diabetes risk genes mediate pancreatic beta cell survival in response to proinflammatory cytokines

Project description:Beta cells intrinsically contribute to the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes (T1D), but the genes and molecular processes that mediate beta cell survival in T1D remain largely unknown. We combined high throughput functional genomics and human genetics to identify T1D risk loci regulating genes affecting beta cell survival in response to the proinflammatory cytokines IL-1b, IFNg, and TNFa. We mapped cytokine-responsive candidate cis-regulatory elements (cCREs) active in beta cells using ATAC-seq and single nuclear ATAC-seq (snATAC-seq), and linked cytokine-responsive beta cell cCREs to putative target genes using single cell co-accessibility and HiChIP. We performed a genome-wide pooled CRISPR loss-of-function screen in EndoC-βH1 cells, which identified hundreds of genes affecting cytokine-induced beta cell loss. We identified thousands of variants in cytokine-responsive beta cell cCREs altering transcription factor (TF) binding using high-throughput SNP-SELEX. Together our findings reveal processes and genes acting in beta cells during cytokine exposure that intrinsically modulate risk of T1D.

Context-aware single-cell multiomics approach identifies cell-type specific lung cancer susceptibility genes

Project description:Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) identified over fifty genomic loci associated with lung cancer risk. However, the genetic mechanisms and target genes underlying these loci are largely unknown, as most risk-associated-variants might regulate gene expression in a context-specific manner. Here, we generated a barcode-shared multiome (transcriptome and chromatin accessibility map) of 117,911 human lung cells from ever- and never-smokers to profile context-specific gene regulation. We observed that most of differentially expressed genes based on smoking status (smoking-responsive genes) were cell-type specific, and inter-cellular communication strength for Major Histocompatibility Complex-I and -II pathways were inverted between ever- and never-smokers. Accessible chromatin peak detection identified candidate cis-regulatory elements (cCREs) from each lung cell type, and 37% of them were cell-type specific. Colocalization of lung cancer candidate causal variants (CCVs) with these cCREs prioritized the variants for 68% of the GWAS loci, a subset of which was also supported by transcription factor footprinting. cCRE colocalization and single-cell based trait relevance score nominated epithelial and immune cells as the main cell groups contributing to lung cancer susceptibility. Notably, cCREs of rare epithelial cell types, including AT2-proliferating (0.13%) and basal cells (1.8%), overlapped with CCVs from multiple GWAS loci. A multi-level cCRE-gene linking system identified candidate susceptibility genes from 57% of lung cancer loci, including smoking-responsive genes. Our multiome dataset identified lung cancer susceptibility genes that were not detected in previous tissue- or cell-line-based approaches and further revealed the cell types and contexts where the susceptibility genes are functional, including the interplay of epithelial and immune cell types even in a single locus.

Variants in tubule epithelial regulatory elements mediate most heritable differences in human kidney function

Project description:Kidney failure, the decrease of kidney function below a threshold necessary to support life, is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in humans. Kidney function is highly heritable; yet, the cellular and molecular mechanisms which contribute to differences in human kidney function remain obscure. We performed a genome wide association study (GWAS), identifying 430 loci affecting kidney function in middle-aged adults. To investigate which cell types are affected by these loci, we integrated the GWAS with human kidney candidate cis-regulatory elements (cCREs), identified using scATAC-seq. 56% of kidney function heritability localized to kidney tubule epithelial cCREs and an additional 7% to kidney podocyte cCREs. Thus, most of the heritable differences in adult kidney function is due to altered gene expression in these two cell types. Using enhancer assays, allele-specific scATAC-seq and machine learning, we found that many kidney function variants alter cCRE chromatin accessibility and function. Using CRISPRi, we determined which genes some of these cCREs regulate, implicating NDRG1, CCNB1 and STC1 in human kidney function. This work provides an experimental approach to identify the variants, regulatory elements and genes involved in human traits and disease.

A single cell atlas of the murine pancreatic ductal tree identifies novel cell populations with potential implications in pancreas regeneration and exocrine pathogenesis.

Project description:Pancreatic ducts form an intricate network of tubules that secrete bicarbonate and drive acinar secretions into the duodenum. This network is formed by centroacinar cells, terminal, intercalated, intracalated ducts, and the main pancreatic duct. Ductal heterogeneity at the single-cell level has been poorly characterized. Here, we used scRNA-seq to comprehensively characterize mouse ductal heterogeneity at single-cell resolution of the entire ductal epithelium from centroacinar cells to the main duct. Moreover, we used organoid cultures, injury models and pancreatic tumor samples to interrogate the role of novel ductal populations in pancreas regeneration and exocrine pathogenesis. In our study, we have identified the coexistence of 15 ductal populations within the healthy pancreas and characterized their organoid formation capacity and endocrine differentiation potential. Cluster isolation and subsequent culturing let us identify ductal cell populations with high organoid formation capacity and endocrine and exocrine differentiation potential in vitro, including Wnt-responsive-population, ciliated-population and FLRT3+ cells. Moreover, we have characterized the location of these novel ductal populations in healthy pancreas, chronic pancreatitis and tumor samples, hightlihgting a putative role of WNT-responsive, IFN-responsive and EMT-populations in pancreatic exocrine pathogenesis as their expression inceases in chronic pancreatitis and PanIN lesions. In light of our discovery of previously unidentified ductal populations, we unmask the potential roles of specific ductal populations in pancreas regeneration and exocrine pathogenesis.

Human stem cell-derived pancreatic acini-like and duct-like organoids demonstrate lineage-specific differences to oncogene activation

Project description:The exocrine compartment of the pancreas consisting of ducts and acini makes up most of the pancreatic tissue and is the site of origin for pancreatitis and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Our understanding of the initiation and progression of human PDAC is limited because of challenges associated with maintaining acinar cells in culture. Here we report the commitment of human pluripotent stem cells towards pancreatic duct-like and acini-like organoids that express properties of the neonatal exocrine pancreas. The expression of PDAC-oncogenes KRasG12D or GNASR201C induced cell lineage-specific effects where GNASR201C was more effective in ductal compared to acinar organoids. KRasG12D was more effective in modeling cancer in vivo when expressed in acinar cells and was associated with acinar to ductal metaplastic changes in culture and in vivo. Thus we demonstrate lineage tropism and plasticity in the human exocrine pancreas and identify a renewable source of ductal and acinar epithelia for understanding exocrine development and diseases.

CFTR Represses a PDX1 Axis to Govern Pancreatic Ductal Cell Fate [Bulk RNA-seq]

Project description:Inflammation, acinar cell destruction, and ductal cell hyperplasia drive pancreatic remodeling in newborns with cystic fibrosis (CF) lacking a functional CFTR channel. In neonatal CF ferrets, these changes are associated with a transient phase of glucose intolerance that involves islet destruction and subsequent regeneration near hyperplastic ducts. Little is known about the phenotypic changes in CF ductal epithelium and its potential impact on islet function. Using bulk RNA-seq, scRNA-seq, and ATAC-seq on CF ferret models, we demonstrate that ductal CFTR protein constrains PDX1 expression by maintaining PTEN and GSK3b activation. In the absence of CFTR protein, centroacinar cells (or terminal ductal cells) adopted a bi-potent progenitor-like state associated with enhanced WNT/b-Catenin, TGFb and AKT signaling. Notably, using in vitro and in vivo hypomorphic models of mutant CFTR expression, we show that the level of CFTR protein, not its channel function, regulates PDX1 expression. Thus, this study has discovered a cell-autonomous CFTR-dependent mechanism by which CFTR mutations that produced little to no protein could impact pancreatic exocrine/endocrine remodeling in people with CF.

Gene expression profiling of mouse pancreatic tumors derived from acinar or ductal cells

Project description:Acinar and ductal cells are the major epithelial cell types in the exocrine pancreas, but which of these serves as the cell-of-origin in human PDAC has been debated. Our mouse models have demonstrated that oncogenic Kras expression and Trp53 loss in pancreatic acinar or ductal cells can lead to pancreatic cancer. Here, we performed gene expression profiling of bulk acinar cell-derived and ductal cell-derived mouse pancreatic tumors to identify the transcriptomic profiles.
