Intra- and inter-individual genetic differences in gene expression (BXD Brain)

ABSTRACT: Genetic variation is known to influence the amount of mRNA produced by a gene. Because molecular machines control mRNA levels of multiple genes, we expect genetic variation in components of these machines would influence multiple genes in a similar fashion. We show that this assumption is correct by using correlation of mRNA levels measured from multiple tissues in mouse strain panels to detect shared genetic influences. These correlating groups of genes (CGGs) have collective properties that on average account for 52–79% of the variability of their constituent genes and can contain genes that encode functionally related proteins. We show that the genetic influences are essentially tissue-specific and, consequently, the same genetic variations in one animal may upregulate a CGG in one tissue but downregulate the CGG in a second tissue. We further show similarly paradoxical behaviour of CGGs within the same tissues of different individuals. Thus, this class of genetic variation can result in complex inter- and intra-individual differences. This will create substantial challenges in humans, where multiple tissues are not readily available.

Intra- and inter-individual genetic differences in gene expression (C57BL/6J vs DBA/2J)

Project description:Genetic variation is known to influence the amount of mRNA produced by a gene, but the effects in different tissues is unclear. We studied gene expression levels in whole brain, kidney or liver, comparing 8 week old, male C57BL/6J to DBA/2J mice. Genes differentially expressed due to genetic background in one tissue were not differentially expressed in other tissues, suggesting that genetic variation of gene expression is tissue specific in inbred mice. Data used in a comparison to the BXD panel of mice in GSE8355, GSE8356, GSE6621 and to SJL/J in GSE8358.

RNA-seq from 53 human tissue samples from the Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) Project

Project description:The Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) project aims to provide to the scientific community a resource with which to study human gene expression and regulation and its relationship to genetic variation. This project will collect and analyze multiple human tissues from donors who are also densely genotyped, to assess genetic variation within their genomes. By analyzing global RNA expression within individual tissues and treating the expression levels of genes as quantitative traits, variations in gene expression that are highly correlated with genetic variation can be identified as expression quantitative trait loci, or eQTLs. The present dataset contains RNA-seq from human reference/non-diseased tissues (thus, we have excluded K-562 cell line that is a chronic myelogenous leukemia cell line) from the Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) Project (http://www.gtexportal.org/home/).

Ribosomal footprinting and RNASeq in two strains of yeast and their diploid hybrid

Project description:Heritable differences in gene expression between individuals are an important source of phenotypic variation. The question of how closely the effects of genetic variation on protein levels mirror those on mRNA levels remains open. Here, we addressed this question by using ribosomal footprinting to examine how genetic differences between two strains of the yeast S. cerevisiae affect translation. Strain differences in translation were observed for hundreds of genes, more than half as many as showed genetic differences in mRNA levels. Similarly, allele specific measurements in the diploid hybrid between the two strains found roughly half as many cis-acting effects on translation as were observed for mRNA levels. In both the parents and the hybrid, strong effects on translation were rare, such that the direction of an mRNA difference was typically reflected in a concordant footprint difference. The relative importance of cis and trans acting variation on footprint levels was similar to that for mRNA levels. Across all expressed genes, there was a tendency for translation to more often reinforce than buffer mRNA differences, resulting in footprint differences with greater magnitudes than the mRNA differences. Finally, we catalogued instances of premature translation termination in the two yeast strains. Overall, genetic variation clearly influences translation, but primarily does so by subtly modulating differences in mRNA levels. Translation does not appear to create strong discrepancies between genetic influences on mRNA and protein levels.

Understaning mechanisms underlying human gene expression variation with RNA sequencing

Project description:Understanding the genetic mechanisms underlying natural variation in gene expression is a central goal of both medical and evolutionary genetics, and studies of expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) have become an important tool for achieving this goal. While all eQTL studies to date have assayed mRNA levels using expression microarrays, recent advances in RNA sequencing enable the analysis of transcript variation at unprecedented resolution. We sequenced RNA from 69 lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs) derived from unrelated Nigerian individuals that have been extensively genotyped by the International HapMap Project. Pooling data from all individuals, we generated a map of the transcriptional landscape of these cells, identifying extensive use of unannotated polyadenylation sites and over 100 novel putative protein-coding exons. Using the genotypes from the HapMap project, we identified over a thousand genes at which genetic variation influences overall expression levels or splicing. We demonstrate that eQTLs near genes generally act via a mechanism involving allele-specific expression, and that variation that influences the inclusion of an exon is enriched within or near the consensus splice sites. Our results illustrate the power of high-throughput sequencing for the joint analysis of variation in transcription, splicing, and allele-specific expression across individuals.

Affymetrix SNP array data for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) samples

Project description:We demonstrate that blood and esophageal tissues shared similar DNA methylation patterns within the same individual,suggesting an influence of genetic background on DNA methylation. Recent studies have shown a genetic influence on gene expression variation, chromatin, and DNA methylation. However, the effects of genetic background and tissue types on DNA methylation at the genome-wide level have not been characterized extensively. To study the effect of genetic background and tissue types on global DNA methylation, we performed DNA methylation analysis using the Affymetrix 500K SNP array on tumor, adjacent normal tissue, and blood DNA from 30 patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). The use of multiple tissues from 30 individuals allowed us to evaluate variation of DNA methylation states across tissues and individuals. Our results demonstrate that blood and esophageal tissues shared similar DNA methylation patterns within the same individual, suggesting an influence of genetic background on DNA methylation. Furthermore, we showed that tissue types are important contributors of DNA methylation states.

Variation in Ubiquitin System Genes Creates Substrate-Specific Effects on Proteasomal Protein Degradation

Project description:Ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) protein degradation regulates protein abundance and eliminates misfolded and damaged proteins from eukaryotic cells. Variation in UPS activity influences numerous cellular and organismal phenotypes. However, to what extent such variation results from individual genetic differences is almost entirely unknown. Here, we developed a statistically powerful mapping approach to characterize the genetic basis of variation in UPS activity. Using the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, we systematically mapped genetic influences on the N-end rule, a UPS pathway that recognizes N-degrons, degradation-promoting signals in protein N-termini. We identified 149 genomic loci that influence UPS activity across the complete set of N-degrons. Resolving four loci to individual causal nucleotides identified regulatory and missense variants in ubiquitin system genes whose products process (NTA1), recognize (UBR1 and DOA10), and ubiquitinate (UBC6) cellular proteins. Each of these genes contained multiple causal variants and several individual variants had substrate-specific effects on UPS activity. A cis-acting promoter variant that modulates UPS activity by altering UBR1 expression also alters the abundance of 36 proteins without affecting levels of the corresponding mRNAs. Our results demonstrate that natural genetic variation shapes the full sequence of molecular events in protein ubiquitination and implicate genetic influences on the UPS as a prominent source of post-translational variation in gene expression.
