Project description:Illuminating the precise stepwise genetic programs directing cardiac development provides insights into the mechanisms of congenital heart disease and strategies for cardiac regenerative therapies. Here, we integrated in vitro and in vivo human single-cell multi-omic studies with high-throughput functional genomic screening to reveal dynamic, cardiac-specific gene regulatory networks and transcriptional regulators during human cardiomyocyte development. Interrogating developmental trajectories reconstructed from single-cell data unexpectedly revealed divergent cardiomyocyte lineages with distinct gene programs based on developmental signaling pathways. High-throughput functional genomic screens identified key transcription factors from inferred gene regulatory networks (GRNs) that were functionally relevant for cardiomyocyte lineages derived from each pathway. Notably, we discovered a critical HSF1-mediated cardiometabolic GRN controlling cardiac mitochondrial/metabolic function and cell survival, also observed in fetal human cardiomyocytes. Overall, these multi-modal genomic studies enabled the systematic discovery and validation of coordinated gene regulatory networks and transcriptional regulators controlling the development of distinct human cardiomyocyte populations.

Project description:Inference of cell-cell communication from single-cell RNA-sequencing data is a powerful technique to uncover intercellular communication pathways, yet existing methods perform this analysis at the level of the cell type or cluster, discarding single-cell level information. Here we present Scriabin, a flexible and scalable framework for comparative analysis of cell-cell communication at single-cell resolution that is performed without cell aggregation or downsampling. We use multiple published atlas-scale datasets, genetic perturbation screens, and direct experimental validation to show that Scriabin accurately recovers expected cell-cell communication edges and identifies communication networks that can be obscured by agglomerative methods. Additionally, we use spatial transcriptomic data to show that Scriabin can uncover spatial features of interaction from dissociated data alone. Finally, we demonstrate applications to longitudinal datasets to follow communication pathways operating between timepoints. Our approach represents a broadly applicable strategy to reveal the full structure of niche-phenotype relationships in health and disease.

Project description:Parallel single-cell multimodal sequencing is the most intuitive and precise tool for cellular status research. In this study, we propose AMAR-seq to automate methylation, chromatin accessibility and RNA sequencing on a chip with single-cell precision. We validated the accuracy and robustness of AMAR-seq in comparison with standard single-omics methods. The high gene detection rate and genome coverage of AMAR-seq enabled us to establish a genome-wide gene expression regulatory atlas, implement single-cell copy number variation analysis, and construct a single-gene, single-base resolution gene expression, DNA methylation, and chromatin accessibility landscape. Applying AMAR-seq to investigate the process of mouse embryonic stem cell differentiation, we revealed the dynamic coupling of the epigenome and transcriptome which may contribute to the unravelling of the molecular mechanisms of early embryonic development. Collectively, these results illustrate that the employment of AMAR-seq can deeply and accurately establish single-cell multi-omics regulatory networks in a single-cell context in a cost-efficient and automated manner, which paves the way for incisive dissection of complex life procedures.

Project description:Non-human primates (NHP) are attractive laboratory animal models that accurately reflect both developmental and pathological features of humans. Here we present a compendium of cell types from the cynomolgus monkey Macaca fascicularis (denoted as ‘Monkey Atlas’) using both single-cell chromatin accessibility (scATAC-seq) and RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data at the organism-wide level. The integrated cell map enables in-depth dissection and comparison of molecular dynamics, cell-type composition and cellular heterogeneity across multiple tissues and organs. Using single-cell transcriptomic data, we inferred pseudotime cell trajectories and cell-cell communications to uncover key molecular signatures underlying their cellular processes. Furthermore, we identified various cell-specific cis-regulatory elements and constructed organ-specific gene regulatory networks at the single-cell level. Finally, we performed a comparative analysis of single-cell landscapes among mouse, cynomolgus monkey and human, and we showed that cynomolgus monkey has significantly higher degree of cell-type similarity to human than mouse. Taken together, our study provides a valuable resource for NHP cell biology.

Project description:Early hematopoiesis is a continuous process in which hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) gradually differentiate and are primed toward specific lineages. Aging and myeloid malignant transformation are characterized by changes in the composition and regulation of HSPCs. In this study, we evaluated HSPCs obtained from young and elderly healthy donors using single-cell RNA sequencing to identify the transcriptional and regulatory perturbations associated with healthy aging at single cell resolution. We then applied this knowledge to identify specific changes associated with the development of myeloid malignancies. Based on the transcriptional profile obtained, we identified changes in the proportions of progenitor compartments during aging, and differences in their functionality, as evidenced by gene set enrichment analysis. Trajectory inference revealed that altered gene expression dynamics accompanied cell differentiation, which could explain age-associated aberrant hematopoiesis. Next, we focused on key regulators of transcription by constructing gene regulatory networks and detected regulons that were specifically active in elderly individuals. Using the previous findings as a reference, we analyzed scRNA-seq data obtained from patients with myelodysplastic syndrome and acute myeloid leukemia and detected an alteration of the expression dynamics of genes involved in erythroid differentiation and identified specific transcription factors deregulated in acute myeloid leukemia. We demonstrate that the combination of single cell technologies and computational tools enables the study of a variety of cellular mechanisms involved in early hematopoiesis and can be used to dissect perturbed differentiation trajectories associated with aging and malignant transformation. Furthermore, the identification of abnormal regulatory mechanisms associated with myeloid malignancies could be exploited for personalized therapeutic approaches in individual patients.

Project description:The subventricular zone (SVZ) is a neurogenetic niche that contributes to homeostasis and repair after brain injury. However, effects of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) on genomewide gene expression in the SVZ remain largely unexplored. To address this issue, we investigated the single-nucleus transcriptomic profiles of the SVZ after mTBI. 18 distinct clusters were yielded via unsupervised clustering of the transcriptomic profiles. Cell type specific gene expression responding to mTBI were revealed, some of which were closely associated with pathogenesis post-injury. Furthermore, the diverse cell to cell interaction networks uncovered an array of cellular processes under mTBI. Also, we reported novel lineage trajectories and molecular hallmarks that govern the neurogenesis. Our gene expression atlas provides extensive resources for future researches regarding mTBI induced pathogenesis, its therapeutic interventions or diagnostic tests.

Project description:Glioblastoma (GBM) is a heterogeneous tumor made up of cell states that evolve over time. Here, we modeled tumor evolutionary trajectories during standard-of-care treatment using multi-omic single-cell analysis of a primary tumor sample, corresponding mouse xenografts subjected to standard of care therapy, and recurrent tumor at autopsy. We mined the multi-omic data with single cell SYstems Genetics Network AnaLysis (scSYGNAL) to identify a network of 52 regulators that mediate treatment-induced shifts in xenograft tumor-cell states that were also reflected in recurrence. By integrating scSYGNAL-derived regulatory network information with transcription factor accessibility deviations derived from single-cell ATAC-seq data, we developed consensus networks that modulate cell state transitions across subpopulations of primary and recurrent tumor cells. Finally, by matching targeted therapies to active regulatory networks underlying tumor evolutionary trajectories, we provide a framework for applying single-cell-based precision medicine approaches in a concurrent, adjuvant, or recurrent setting.
