Deconvolution of whole blood DNA methylomes reveals immune cell type-specific differential methylation in Multiple Sclerosis

ABSTRACT: Whole blood is a highly convenient and informative tissue from which to sample DNA and RNA in epigenomic and functional genomic studies, but it is comprised of multiple distinct cell types and this complexity significantly impairs our ability to interpret downstream differential methylation and/or differential expression results. In this multiple sclerosis (MS)-focused study we utilised an application of current statistical deconvolution methods to interrogate whole blood DNA methylation data thereby enabling the methylome of several immune cell types to be analysed independently. Methylome profiling on cell type-purified blood samples revealed optimal CpG sets for use as robust immune cell markers in the statistical deconvolution process. We show that it is possible to identify differentially methylated (DM) loci in a cell type specific manner using statistical deconvolution. Finally, we demonstrate that deconvolution improved the biological relevance and interpretability of our DM results, significantly enhancing concordance of the identified DM loci with loci previously shown to be genetically or epigenetically associated with MS.

Hidden RNA profiles revealed by malignant cell fraction-informed deconvolution

Project description:To understand cancer biology, it is crucial to unravel malignant- and microenvironmental cell states. Deconvolution of the bulk RNA profile from tumors can provide this insight, but is severely impaired by interpatient heterogeneity of the malignant cells. Bayesian statistics enables to inform RNA-deconvolution with malignant cell fraction estimates from e.g. DNA sequencing. We developed cell fraction-informed deconvolution, and evaluated this experimentally using 46 bulk RNA profiles from blood with 19 CyTOF determined cell fractions from this repository.

Investigation of the usefulness of liver-specific deconvolution method toward legacy data utilization

Project description:Deconvolution is a methodology for estimating the immune cell proportions from the transcriptome. It is mainly applied to blood-derived samples and tumor tissues. However, the influence of tissue-specific modeling on the estimation results has rarely been investigated. In this study, we constructed a system to evaluate the performance of the deconvolution method on liver transcriptome data. Correspondence: Tadahaya Mizuno

Deconvolution of ChIP-chip MBF occupancies reveals the temporal recruitment of Rep2 at the MBF-target genes

Project description:Deconvolution analysis using Rpb1 ChIP-chip results distinguishes the Cdc10 bindings at the Rpb1-poor loci (promoters) from those at the Rpb1-rich loci (intragenic sequences). Importantly, Res1 binding at the Rpb1-poor loci, but not at the Rpb1-rich loci, are dependent on the Cdc10 function, suggesting a distinct binding mechanism. Most Cdc10 promoter bindings at the Rpb1-poor loci are associated with the G1/S-phase genes. While Res1 or Res2 is found at both the Cdc10 promoter and intragenic binding sites, Rep2 appears to be absent at the Cdc10 promoter binding sites but present at the intragenic sites. Time-course ChIP-chip analysis demonstrates that Rep2 is temporally accumulated at the coding region of the MBF-target genes, resembling the RNAP-II occupancies. We analyzed MBF binding sites using Nimblegen arrays.

Multi-cell type deconvolution using a probabilistic model of single-molecule DNA methylation haplotypes

Project description:Deconvolution methods infer quantitative cell type estimates from bulk measurement of mixed samples including blood and tissue. DNA methylation sequencing measures multiple CpGs per read, but few existing deconvolution methods leverage this within-read information. We develop CelFiE-ISH, which extends an existing method (CelFiE) to use within-read haplotype information. CelFiE-ISH outperforms CelFiE and other existing methods, achieving 30% better accuracy and more sensitive detection of rare cell types. We also demonstrate the importance of marker selection and tailoring markers for haplotype-aware methods. While here we use gold-standard short-read sequencing data, haplotype-aware methods will be well-suited for long-read sequencing.

Rat deconvolution as knowledge miner for immune cell trafficking from toxicogenomics databases

Project description:Toxicogenomics databases are useful for understanding biological responses in individuals because they are derived from well-controlled experiments and include a diverse spectrum of biological responses. Although these databases contain no information regarding immune cells in the liver, which are important in the progression of liver injury, deconvolution that estimates cell-type proportions from bulk transcriptome could add information regarding immune cell trafficking to the database. However, deconvolution has been mainly applied to humans and mice and less often to rats, which are the main target of toxicogenomics databases. Here, we developed a deconvolution method for rats and established a methodology to obtain information regarding immune cells from toxicogenomics databases. The contributions of this work are three-fold. First, we obtained the gene expression profiles of various rat immune cells necessary for deconvolution and constructed a dataset; second, we compared the accuracy of models based on human and mouse datasets and showed the impact of species differences on deconvolution; third, we showed that rat deconvolution could retrieve information regarding immune cell trafficking from toxicogenomics databases.

DNA methylation changes at major histocompatibility complex in multiple sclerosis

Project description:The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) region represents by far the strongest multiple sclerosis (MS) susceptibility loci. DNA methylation changes have been consistently detected at the MHC region in MS. However, understanding the full picture of epigenetic regulations of MHC in MS remains challenging, due in part to the limited coverage in the region by standard whole genome bisulfite sequencing or array-based methods. To fill this gap, we utilized a novel but validated MHC capture protocol with bisulfite sequencing and conducted a comprehensive analysis of MHC methylation landscapes in blood samples from 147 treatment naïve MS participants and 129 healthy controls. We identified 132 differentially methylated region (DMRs) within MHC regions and found they are significantly overlapped with MS risk variants. Integration of the MHC methylome to human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genetic data further indicate that the methylation changes are significantly associated with HLA genotypes. Using DNA methylation quantitative trait loci (mQTL) mapping and the causal inference test (CIT), we identified 643 cis-mQTL-DMRs paired associations including 71 DMRs possibly mediating causal relationships between 55 SNPs and MS risk.
