Project description:Limiting artifacts during sample preparation can significantly increase data quality in single-cell proteomics experiments. Towards this goal, we characterize the impact of protein leakage by analyzing thousands of primary single cells that were prepared either fresh immediately after dissociation or cryopreserved and prepared at a later date. We directly identify permeabilized cells and use the data to define a signature for protein leakage. We use this signature to build a classifier for identifying damaged cells that performs accurately across cell types and species.

Project description:We report on the combination of nanodroplet sample preparation, ultra-low-flow nanoLC, high-field asymmetric ion mobility spectrometry (FAIMS), and the latest-generation Orbitrap Eclipse Tribrid mass spectrometer for greatly improved single-cell proteome profiling. FAIMS effectively filtered out singly charged ions for more effective MS analysis of multiply charged peptides, resulting in an average of 1056 protein groups identified from single HeLa cells without MS1-level feature matching. This is 2.3 times more identifications than without FAIMS and a far greater level of proteome coverage for single mammalian cells than has been previously reported for a label-free study. Differential analysis of single microdissected motor neurons and interneurons from human spinal tissue indicated a similar level of proteome coverage, and the two subpopulations of cells were readily differentiated based on single-cell label-free quantification.

Project description:Correlations in gene expression are used to infer functional and regulatory relationships between genes. However, correlations are often calculated across different cell types or perturbations, causing genes with unrelated functions to be correlated. Here, we demonstrate that correlated modules can be better captured by measuring correlations of steady-state gene expression fluctuations in single cells. We report a high-precision single-cell RNA-seq method called MALBAC-DT to measure the correlation between any pair of genes in a homogenous cell population. Using this method, we were able to identify numerous cell-type specific and functionally enriched correlated gene modules. We confirmed through knockdown that a module enriched for p53 signaling predicted p53 regulatory targets more accurately than a consensus of ChIP-seq studies and that steady-state correlations were predictive of transcriptome-wide response patterns to perturbations. This approach provides a powerful way to advance our functional understanding of the genome.

Project description:Adult humans respond to heart injury by forming a permanent scar, yet other vertebrates are capable of robust and complete cardiac regeneration. Despite progress towards characterizing the mechanisms of cardiac regeneration in fish and amphibians, the large evolutionary gulf between mammals and regenerating vertebrates complicates deciphering which cellular and molecular features truly enable regeneration. To better define these features, we compared cardiac injury responses in zebrafish and medaka, two fish species that share similar heart anatomy and common teleost ancestry but differ in regenerative capability. We used single-cell transcriptional profiling to create a time-resolved comparative cell atlas of injury responses in all major cardiac cell types across both species. With this approach, we identified several key features that distinguish cardiac injury response in the non-regenerating medaka heart. By comparing immune responses to injury, we found altered cell recruitment and a distinct pro-inflammatory gene program in medaka leukocytes, and an absence of the injury-induced interferon response seen in zebrafish. In addition, we found a lack of pro-regenerative signals, including nrg1 and retinoic acid, from medaka endothelial and epicardial cells. Finally, we identified alterations in the myocardial structure in medaka, where they lack primordial layer cardiomyocytes and fail to employ a cardioprotective gene program shared by regenerating vertebrates. Our findings reveal notable variation in injury response across nearly all major cardiac cell types in zebrafish and medaka, demonstrating how evolutionary divergence influences the hidden cellular features underpinning regenerative potential in these seemingly similar vertebrates.

Project description:Single cell proteomics (SCP) requires the analysis of dozens to thousands of single human cells to draw biological conclusions. However, assessing of the abundance of single proteins in output data presents a considerable challenge, and no simple universal solutions currently exist. To address this, we developed SCP Viz, a statistical package with a graphical user interface that can handle small and large scale SCP output from any instrument or data processing software. In this software, the abundance of individual proteins can be plotted in a variety of ways, using either unadjusted or normalized outputs. These outputs can also be transformed or imputed within the software. SCP Viz offers a variety of plotting options which can help identify significantly altered proteins between groups, both before and after quantitative transformations. Upon the discovery of subpopulations of single cells, users can easily regroup the cells of interest using straightforward text-based filters. When used in this way, SCP Viz allows users to visualize proteomic heterogeneity at the level of individual proteins, cells, or identified subcellular populations. SCP Viz is compatible with output files from MaxQuant, FragPipe, SpectroNaut, and Proteome Discoverer, and should work equally well with other formats. SCP Viz is publicly available at https://github.com/orsburn/SCPViz. For demonstrations, users can download our test data from GitHub and use an online version that accepts user input for analysis at https://orsburnlab.shinyapps.io/SCPViz/.

Project description:Background: Macrophage-based immune dysregulation plays a critical role in development of delayed gastric emptying in animal models of diabetes. Human studies have also revealed loss of anti-inflammatory macrophages and increased expression of genes associated with pro-inflammatory macrophages in full thickness gastric biopsies from gastroparesis patients. Aim: We aimed to determine broader protein expression (proteomics) and protein-based signaling pathways in full thickness gastric biopsies of diabetic (DG) and idiopathic gastroparesis (IG) patients. Additionally, we determined correlations between protein expressions, gastric emptying and symptoms. Methods: Full-thickness gastric antrum biopsies were obtained from nine DG, seven IG patients and five non-diabetic controls. Aptamer-based SomaLogic tissue scan that quantitatively identifies 1300 human proteins was used. Protein fold changes were computed, and differential expressions were calculated using Limma. Ingenuity Pathway Analysis and correlations were carried out. Multiple-testing corrected p-values <0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results: 73 proteins were differentially expressed in DG, 132 proteins in IG and 40 proteins were common to DG and IG. In both DG and IG, “Role of Macrophages, Fibroblasts and Endothelial Cells” was the most statistically significant altered pathway (DG FDR: 7.9x10-9; IG FDR: 6.3x10-12). In DG, properdin expression correlated with GCSI-bloating (r: -0.99, FDR: 0.02) and expressions of prostaglandin G/H synthase 2, protein kinase C zeta type and complement C2 correlated with 4 hr gastric retention (r: -0.97, FDR: 0.03 for all). No correlations were found between proteins and symptoms or gastric emptying in IG. Conclusions: Protein expression changes suggest a central role of macrophage-driven immune dysregulation and complement activation in gastroparesis.
