Transcription factor interactions explain the context-dependent activity of CRX binding sites

ABSTRACT: We assessed how the effects of transcription factor binding sites (TFBSs) on the activity of a cis-regulatory sequence (CRS) depend on the local sequence context. We constructed a library of synthetic CRSs composed of TFBSs enriched in mouse photoreceptors and assayed them by massively parallel reporter assay in live mouse retina. We used the resulting data to train neural network-based models that predict CRS activity from sequence.

The identification and functional annotation of RNA structures conserved in vertebrates

Project description:We report the genome-wide screen of the vertebrate genomes for conserved RNA structures (CRSs) by CMfinder [Yao et al. Bioinformatics 2006] and predict around 515k human genomic regions that harbor such structures. For a customized CaptureSeq experiment 125k probes of 60bp length were synthesized for both strands. These probes target 77k CRS regions, which were selected by largest CRS prediction score (pscores), more than 3 substitutions to their closest genomic paralog, and conservation in human and mouse.

Single cell RNA-seq of CRX+ cells obtained at day 90 of retinal organoid differentiation

Project description:Death of photoreceptors and/or Retinal Pigment Epithelium (RPE) cells is a common cause of age related and inherited retinal dystrophies, thus their replenishment from renewable stem cell sources is a well sought therapeutic goal. Human pluripotent stem cells provide a useful cell source in view of their limitless self-renewal capacity and potential to differentiate into all key retinal cell types either in isolation or as part of three dimensional retinal organoids. Photoreceptor precursors have been isolated from differentiating human pluripotent stem cells either through application of cell surface markers or fluorescent reporter approaches and shown to share a transcriptional profile akin to foetal photoreceptors. In this study we investigated the transcriptional profile of CRX+ photoreceptor precursors derived from human embryonic stem cells (hESC) using single cell RNA sequencing and their engraftment capacity in an animal model of retinitis pigmentosa (C3H/rd1). Single cell RNA seq analysis revealed the presence of dominant cell cluster which displayed the hallmarks of early cone photoreceptor expression. When transplanted subretinally into the C3H/rd1 mice, the Crx positive cells settled next to the inner nuclear layer of host retina, matured into cone photoreceptors and made connections with the inner neurones of the host retina. Cellular transfer between the host retina and donor photoreceptors was investigated and shown to be minimal. Together our data provide valuable molecular insights into the transcriptional profile of human pluripotent stem cells derived CRX+ photoreceptor precursors and indicate their usefulness as a source of transplantable cone photoreceptors.

Quantification of mouse retinal enhancer activity by massively parallel reporter assay

Project description:Cone-rod homeobox (CRX) is a paired-like homeodomain transcription factor (TF) and a master regulator of photoreceptor development in vertebrates. The in vitro DNA binding preferences of CRX have been described in detail, but the degree to which in vitro binding affinity is correlated with in vivo enhancer activity is not known. In addition, paired-class homeodomain TFs can bind DNA cooperatively as both homodimers and heterodimers at inverted TAAT half-sites separated by two or three nucleotides. This dimeric configuration is thought to mediate target specificity, but whether monomeric and dimeric sites encode distinct levels of activity is not known. Here, we use a massively parallel reporter assay, CRE-seq, to determine how local sequence context shapes the regulatory activity of CRX binding sites in mouse photoreceptors. We assay inactivating mutations in >1700 TFBSs, and we find that dimeric CRX binding sites act as stronger enhancers than monomeric CRX binding sites. Furthermore, the activity of dimeric half-sites is cooperative, dependent on a strict three-base-pair spacing, and tuned by the identity of the spacer nucleotides. Saturating single-nucleotide mutagenesis of 195 CRX binding sites shows that, on average, changes in TFBS affinity are correlated with changes in regulatory activity, but this relationship is obscured when considering mutations across multiple CREs. Taken together, these results demonstrate that the activity of CRX binding sites is highly dependent on sequence context, providing insight into photoreceptor gene regulation and illustrating functional principles of homeodomain binding sites that may be conserved in other cell types.

Gene expression profile of CD22 CAR T-cell products

Project description:Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) is a strong immune system response that can occur as a result of the reaction of a cellular immunotherapy with malignant cells. While the frequency and management of CRS in CAR T-cell therapy has been well documented, there is emerging interest in pre-emptive treatment to reduce CRS severity and improve overall outcomes. Accordingly, identification of genomic determinants that contribute to cytokine release may lead to the development of targeted therapies to prevent or abrogate the severity of CRS. We examined CD22 CAR T-cells using the Nanostring nCounter platform and found that the expression of the PFKFB4 gene and glycolytic pathway activity were upregulated in CAR T-cells in those who developed CRS compared to those who did not have CRS.

Gene expression analysis of Chronic rhinosinusitis

Project description:Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a heterogeneous disease characterized by local inflammation of the upper airways which persists for at least 12 weeks. CRS is one of the most common chronic diseases in adults in the United States, affecting over 30 million Americans. CRS is frequently divided into 2 types: CRS with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) and CRS without nasal polyps (CRSsNP). Histologic studies have demonstrated significant tissue eosinophilia in CRSwNP. T cells in the mucosa are elevated in both forms of CRS and are skewed towards Th2 cytokine expression in CRSwNP. However pathogenic role of CRS has not been fully explored. To screen for pathogenic factors in CRS, we performed a microarray study. We collected uncinate tissues (UT) from 6 subjects with CRSsNP, 6 subjects with CRSwNP and 6 control subjects and nasal polyp (NP) tissues from 6 subjects with CRSwNP and then evaluated gene expression profiles using Affymetrix Human Genome U133 plus 2.0 array. We collected UT from control subjects and pathients with CRSsNP and CRSwNP, and nasal polyp tissues from patients with CRSwNP. Gene expression profiles were evaluated using Human Genome U133 plus 2.0 array (Affymetrix).

A single-cell massively parallel reporter assay detects cell type specific cis-regulatory activity

Project description:We developed a single-cell massively parallel reporter assay (scMPRA) to measure the activity of libraries of cis-regulatory sequences (CRSs) across multiple cell-types simultaneously. As a proof of concept, we assayed a library of core promoters in a mixture of HEK293 and K562 cells and showed that scMPRA is a reproducible, highly parallel, single-cell reporter gene assay. Our results show that housekeeping promoters and CpG island promoters have lower activity in K562 cells relative to HEK293, which likely reflects developmental differences between the cell lines. Within K562 cells, scMPRA identified a subset of developmental promoters that are upregulated in the CD34+/CD38- sub-state, confirming this state as more “stem-like.” Finally, we deconvolved the intrinsic and extrinsic components of cell-to-cell variability and found that developmental promoters have a higher proportion of extrinsic noise compared to housekeeping promoters. We anticipate scMPRA will be widely applicable for studying the role of CRSs across diverse cell types.

Systematic dissection and optimization of inducible enhancers in human cells using a massively parallel reporter assay

Project description:We apply a massively parallel reporter assay (MPRA) that relies on mRNA and plasmid tag sequencing (Tag-Seq) to compare the regulatory activities of more than 27,000 distinct variants of two inducible enhancers in human cells: a synthetic cAMP-regulated enhancer and the virus-inducible interferon beta enhancer. The resulting data define accurate maps of functional transcription factor binding sites in both enhancers at single-nucleotide resolution and can be used the to train quantitative sequence-activity models (QSAMs).

Functional activity scores of a DMS library representing coding single residue substitution variants in the transcription factor CRX measured in an engineered reporter cell line

Project description:Cone-Rod Homeobox, encoded by CRX, is a transcription factor (TF) essential for the terminal differentiation and maintenance of mammalian photoreceptors. Although a handful of human variants in CRX have been shown to cause several different degenerative retinopathies with varying cone and rod predominance, as with most human disease genes the vast majority of observed CRX genetic variants are uncharacterized variants of uncertain significance (VUS). We performed a deep mutational scan (DMS) of nearly all possible single amino acid substitution variants in CRX, using an engineered cell-based transcriptional reporter assay. We measured the ability of each CRX missense variant to transactivate a synthetic fluorescent reporter construct in a pooled fluorescence-activated cell sorting assay and compared the activation strength of each variant to that of wild-type CRX to compute an activity score, identifying thousands of variants with altered transcriptional activity.
