Mapping genetic effects on cell type-specific chromatin accessibility and annotating complex trait variants using single nucleus ATAC-seq

ABSTRACT: Gene regulation is highly cell type-specific and understanding the function of non-coding genetic variants associated with complex traits requires molecular phenotyping at cell type resolution. In this study we performed single nucleus ATAC-seq (snATAC-seq) and genotyping in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 13 individuals. Clustering chromatin accessibility profiles of 96,002 total nuclei identified 17 immune cell types and sub-types. We mapped chromatin accessibility QTLs (caQTLs) in each immune cell type and sub-type which identified ~6,000 total caQTL peaks, including those obscured from assays of bulk tissue such as with divergent effects on different cell types. For ~3,000 caQTLs we further annotated putative target genes of variant activity using single cell co-accessibility, and caQTL variants were significantly correlated with the accessibility level of linked gene promoters. We fine-mapped loci associated with 16 complex immune traits and identified immune cell caQTLs, including those with cell type-specific effects. At the 6q15 locus associated with type 1 diabetes, in line with previous reports, variant rs72928038 was a naïve CD4+ T cell caQTL linked to BACH2 and we validated the allelic effects of this variant on regulatory activity in Jurkat T cells. These results highlight the utility of snATAC-seq for mapping genetic effects on accessible chromatin in specific cell types and provide a resource for annotating complex immune trait loci.

Single-cell multiomics of the human retina reveals hierarchical transcription factor collaboration in mediating cell type-specific effects of genetic variants on gene regulation

Project description:Systematic characterization of how genetic variation modulates gene regulation in a cell type specific context is essential for understanding complex traits. To address this question, we profiled gene expression and chromatin state of cells from healthy retinae of 20 human donors with a single-cell multiomics approach, and performed genomic sequencing. sc-eQTLs, sc-caQTL, sc-ASCA and sc-ASE were mapped in major retinal cell types. By integrating these results, we identified and characterized regulatory elements and genetic variants effective on gene regulation in individual cell types. Most of the identified sc-eQTLs and sc-caQTLs exhibit cell type-specific effects. Interestingly, the cis-elements harboring genetic variants with cell type-specific effects tend to be accessible in multiple cell types. Lastly, we identified the enriched cell types, fine-mapped candidate causal variants and genes, and uncovered cell type-specific regulatory mechanism underlying GWAS loci.

Genetic effects on liver chromatin accessibility identify disease regulatory variants [genotypes]

Project description:Identifying the molecular mechanisms by which genome-wide association study (GWAS) loci influence traits remains challenging. Chromatin accessibility quantitative trait loci (caQTL) help identify GWAS loci that may alter GWAS traits by modulating chromatin structure, but caQTL have been identified in a limited set of human tissues. Here we mapped caQTL in human liver tissue in 20 liver samples and identified 3,123 caQTL. The caQTL variants are enriched in liver tissue promoter and enhancer states and frequently disrupt binding motifs of transcription factors expressed in liver. We predicted target genes for 861 caQTL peaks using proximity, chromatin interactions, correlation with promoter accessibility or gene expression, and colocalization with expression QTL. Using GWAS signals for 19 liver function and/or cardiometabolic traits, we identified 110 colocalized caQTL and GWAS signals, 56 of which contained a predicted caPeak target gene. At the LITAF LDL-cholesterol GWAS locus, we validated that a caQTL variant showed allelic differences in protein binding and transcriptional activity. These caQTL contribute to the epigenomic characterization of human liver and help identify molecular mechanisms and genes at GWAS loci.

Single-cell chromatin accessibility identifies pancreatic islet cell type- and state-specific regulatory programs of diabetes risk [RNA-seq]

Project description:Single-nucleus assay for transposase-accessible chromatin using sequencing (snATAC-seq) creates new opportunities to dissect cell type-specific mechanisms of complex diseases. Since pancreatic islets are central to type 2 diabetes (T2D), we profiled 15,298 islet cells by using combinatorial barcoding snATAC-seq and identified 12 clusters, including multiple alpha, beta and delta cell states. We cataloged 228,873 accessible chromatin sites and identified transcription factors underlying lineage- and state-specific regulation. We observed state-specific enrichment of fasting glucose and T2D genome-wide association studies for beta cells and enrichment for other endocrine cell types. At T2D signals localized to islet-accessible chromatin, we prioritized variants with predicted regulatory function and co-accessibility with target genes. A causal T2D variant rs231361 at the KCNQ1 locus had predicted effects on a beta cell enhancer co-accessible with INS and genome editing in embryonic stem cell-derived beta cells affected INS levels. Together our findings demonstrate the power of single-cell epigenomics for interpreting complex disease genetics.

Variation in chromatin accessibility is a key determinant of heritable variation in gene expression

Project description:While it is well established that variation in gene expression levels can be influenced by single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), little is known about the regulatory mechanisms by which this occurs. To address this gap, we used DNaseI sequencing to measure genome-wide chromatin accessibility in 70 Yoruba lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs), for which genome-wide genotypes and estimates of gene expression levels based on RNA-sequencing are also available. We obtained a total of 2.8 billion uniquely mapped DNase-seq reads, which allowed us to produce genome-wide maps of chromatin accessibility for each individual. We identified 7,759 locations at which DNase-seq read depth correlates significantly with variation at a nearby SNP or indel (FDR=10%). We call such variants 'chromatin accessibility Quantitative Trait Loci' (or caQTLs). Most caQTLs lie within or very near the target DNaseI hypersensitive sites, and they are strongly enriched within inferred transcription factor binding sites. We find that a substantial fraction (14%) of caQTLs are also significantly associated with variation in the expression levels of nearby genes (namely, these loci are also classified as eQTLs), suggesting that changes in chromatin accessibility or transcription factor binding frequently lead to gene expression changes. Conversely, 12% of eQTL SNPs are also classified as caQTLs and, accounting for incomplete power, we estimate that the true fraction may be as high as 41%. Our observations indicate that caQTLs are abundant in the human genome, and are likely to be significant contributors to phenotypic variation. DNaseI-Seq on 70 YRI Hapmap cell lines.
