CapTEs enables locus-specific dissection of transcriptional outputs from reference and nonreference transposable elements

ABSTRACT: Transposable elements (TEs) serve as both insertional mutagens and regulatory elements in cells, and their aberrant activity is increasingly being revealed to contribute to diseases and cancers. However, measuring the transcriptional consequences of nonreference and young TEs at individual loci remains challenging with current methods, primarily due to technical limitations, including short read lengths generated and insufficient coverage in target regions. Here, we introduce a long-read targeted RNA sequencing method, Cas9-assisted profiling TE expression sequencing (capTEs), for quantitative analysis of transcriptional outputs for individual TEs, including transcribed nonreference insertions, noncanonical transcripts from various transcription patterns and their correlations with expression changes in related genes. This method selectively identified TE-containing transcripts and outputted data with up to 90% TE reads, maintaining a comparable data yield to whole-transcriptome sequencing. We applied capTEs to human cancer cells and found that internal and inserted Alu elements may employ distinct regulatory mechanisms to upregulate gene expression.

Transposable element expression at unique loci in single cells with CELLO-seq

Project description:We introduce a novel method (CELLO-seq) for long-read RNA sequencing at single cell resolution. CELLO-seq allows for full-length RNA sequencing and enables measurement of allelic, isoform and Transposable Element (TE) expression at unique loci. We use CELLO-seq to assess the widespread expression of TEs in 2-cell mouse blastomeres as well as human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs). Across both species, old and young TEs showed evidence of locus-specific expression, with simulations demonstrating that only a small number of very young elements in the mouse could not be mapped back to with high confidence. Exploring the relationship between the expression of individual elements and putative regulators revealed surprising heterogeneity, with TEs within a class showing different patterns of correlation, suggesting distinct regulatory mechanisms. CELLO-seq thus represents a significant advance in the research of TEs, highlighting that studying TEs in single cells and at single loci resolution is necessary for understanding how such elements are regulated and for gaining insight into their role during development.

LocusMasterTE: long-read assisted short-read TE quantification [short]

Project description:With an ability to compromise genome integrity, transposable elements (TEs) have significant associations with human diseases. Short-read sequencing has been used to study the expression of TEs; however, the highly repetitive nature of these elements makes multimapping a critical issue. Here we implement LocusMasterTE, an improved quantification method by integrating long-read sequencing. Introducing computed transcript per million(TPM) counts from long-read sequencing as prior distribution during Expectation-Maximization(EM) model in short-read TE quantification, multi-mapped reads are re-assigned to correct expression values. Based on simulated short reads, LocusMasterTE outperforms current quantitative approaches and is significantly favorable in capturing newly inserted TEs. We also verified that TEs quantified by LocusMasterTE clearly related to euchromatins and heterochromatins in cell line samples. With LocusMasterTE we anticipate that more accurate quantification can be performed, allowing novel functions of TEs to be uncovered.

TE-Seq: A Transposable Element Annotation and RNA-Seq Pipeline

Project description:The TE-Seq pipeline conducts an end-to-end analysis of RNA sequencing data, examining both genes and TEs. It implements the most current computational methods tailor-made for TEs, and produces a comprehensive analysis of TE expression at both the level of the individual element and at the TE clade level. Furthermore, if supplied with long-read DNA sequencing data, it is able to assess TE expression from non-reference (polymorphic) loci. As a demonstration, we analyzed proliferating, early senescent, and late senescent lung fibroblast RNA-Seq data, and created a custom reference genome and annotations for this cell strain using Nanopore sequencing data. We found that several retrotransposable element (RTE) clades were upregulated in senescence, which included non-reference, intact, and potentially active elements.

Using long-read CAGE sequencing to profile cryptic-promoter derived transcripts and their contribution to the immunopeptidome

Project description:Recent studies have demonstrated that the non-coding genome can produce unannotated proteins as antigens that induce immune response. One major source of this activity is the aberrant epigenetic reactivation of transposable elements (TEs). In tumors, TEs often provide cryptic or alternate promoters, which can generate transcripts that encode tumor-specific unannotated proteins. Thus, TE-derived transcripts have the potential to produce tumor-specific, but recurrent, antigens shared among many tumors. Identification of TE-derived tumor antigens holds the promise to improve cancer immunotherapy approaches; however, current genomics and computational tools are not optimized for their detection. Here we combined CAGE technology with full-length long-read transcriptome sequencing (Long-Read CAGE, or LRCAGE) and developed a suite of computational tools to significantly improve immunopeptidome detection by incorporating TE-derived and other tumor transcripts into the proteome database. By applying our methods to human lung cancer cell line H1299 data, we demonstrated that long-read technology significantly improves mapping of promoters with low mappability scores and LRCAGE guarantees accurate construction of uncharacterized 5’ transcript structure. Unannotated peptides predicted from newly characterized transcripts were readily detectable in whole cell lysate mass-spectrometry data. Incorporating unannotated peptides into the proteome database enabled us to detect non-canonical antigens in HLA-pulldown LC-MS/MS data. At last, we showed that epigenetic treatment increased the number of non-canonical antigens, particularly those encoded by TE-derived transcripts, which might expand the pool of targetable antigens for cancers with low mutational burden.

Altered TE-derived genes leads to pathogenesis of FXD [ShortReadRNASeq]

Project description:We identified known and unknown transposon elements in the cells from healthy donors, FXD patients, and ALL patients by long-read RNA-sequencing. Using these identified TEs, we analyzed the expression of TE-derived genes by shot-read (illumina) RNA-sequencing. We found that expression of some specific TE-derived genes were changed in FXD compared to those in healthy donors. These findings suggested the involvement of modified expressions of TE-derived genes in the pathogenesis of FXD.

Transcriptional activity and epigenetic regulation of transposable element in the symbiotic fungus Rhizophagus irregularis

Project description:Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi form mutualistic relationships with most land plant species. AM fungi have long been considered as ancient asexuals. Long-term clonal evolution would be remarkable for a eukaryotic lineage and suggests the importance of alternative mechanisms to promote genetic variability facilitating adaptation. Here, we assessed the potential of transposable elements (TEs) for generating genomic diversity. The dynamic expression of TEs during Rhizophagus irregularis spore development suggests ongoing TE activity. We find Mutator-like elements located near genes belonging to highly expanded gene families. Characterising the epigenomic status of R. irregularis provides evidence of DNA methylation and small RNA production occurring at TE loci. Our results support a potential role for TEs in shaping the genome, and roles for DNA methylation and small RNA-mediated silencing in regulating TEs. A well-controlled balance between TE activity and repression may therefore contribute to genome evolution in AM fungi.

Locus-specific chromatin profiling of evolutionarily young transposable elements [HiChIP]

Project description:Despite a vast expansion in the availability of epigenomic data, our knowledge of the chromatin landscape at interspersed repeats remains highly limited by difficulties in mapping short-read sequencing data to these regions. In particular, little is known about the locus-specific regulation of evolutionarily young transposable elements (TEs), which have been implicated in genome stability, gene regulation and innate immunity in a variety of developmental and disease contexts. Here we propose an approach for generating locus-specific protein-DNA binding profiles at interspersed repeats, which leverages information on the spatial proximity between repetitive and non-repetitive genomic regions. We demonstrate that the combination of Hi-ChIP and a newly developed mapping tool (PAtChER) yields accurate protein enrichment profiles at individual repetitive loci. Using this approach, we show that young TEs display locus- and tissue-specific chromatin profiles in both mice and humans. Insights gained using our method will be invaluable for dissecting the molecular determinants of TE regulation and their impact on the genome.
