Cell-type specific meQTL extends melanoma GWAS annotation beyond eQTL and identifies a melanocyte gene regulatory network

Project description:To explore the roles of cell-type specific methylation QTL (meQTL) for melanoma GWAS annotation, we generated DNA methylation data from the same sample set as our previouse eQTL study including 106 primary melanocyte cultures. The Illumina Infinium 450k Human DNA methylation Beadchip v1.2 was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across approximately 480,000 CpGs in 106 primary melanocyte cultures. To be able to identify the DNA methylation probes whose methylation levels are correlated with germline genetic variants including the ones associated with melanoma, meQTL analysis was performed in these 106 primary melanocyte cultures using the same method as we did for eQTL study.

Massively parallel reporter assays combined with cell-type specific eQTL identified a functional melanoma risk variant in HIV-1 restriction gene, MX2 [MX2_overexpress]

Project description:Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified twenty melanoma susceptibility loci. To identify susceptibility genes and variants simultaneously from multiple GWAS loci, we integrated massively-parallel reporter assays (MPRA) with melanocyte-specific expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) profiling. We identified thirty-nine candidate functional variants displaying allelic transcriptional activity, of which nine from four loci were also correlated with local gene expression in melanocytes (CTSS, CASP8, MX2, and MAFF). Among these, we further characterized the locus in MX2 gene on chromosome band Chr21q22.3 and validated a functional variant, rs398206. The functional variant mediates allelic transcriptional activity via binding of the transcription factor, YY1. This allelic transcriptional regulation largely accounts for a significant cis-eQTL of the HIV-1 restriction gene, MX2, in primary melanocytes, where the melanoma risk-associated A allele is correlated with higher MX2 levels. Melanocyte-specific transgenic expression of human MX2 in a zebrafish model demonstrated an accelerated melanoma formation in a BRAFV600E background. Thus, using an efficient scalable approach to streamline GWAS follow-up functional studies, we uncovered a pleiotropic function of MX2 in melanoma susceptibility.

Contribution from Different Genomic Annotation Sets to Quantitative Trait Variation Revealed by Maize GWAS

Project description:The genomic distribution of trait-associated SNPs (TASs) discovered in genome-wide association studies (GWAS) can provide insight into the genetic architecture of complex traits and the design of future studies. Here we report on a maize GWAS that identified TASs underlying five quantitative traits measured across a large panel of samples and examine the characteristics of these TASs. A set of SNPs obtained via RNA sequencing (RNA-seq), most of which are located within annotated genes (~87%) were complemented with additional SNPs from the maize HapMap Project that contains approximately equal proportions of intragenic and intergenic SNPs. TASs were identified via a genome scan while controlling for polygenic background effects. The diverse functions of TAS-containing candidate genes indicate that complex genetic networks shape these traits. The vast majority of the TAS-containing candidate genes have dynamic expression levels among developmental stages. Overall, TASs explain 44~54% of the total phenotypic variation for these traits, with equal contributions from intra- and inter-genic TASs. Association of ligueless2 with upper leaf angle was implicated by two intragenic TASs; rough sheath1 was associated with leaf width by an upstream intergenic TAS; and Zea agamous5 was associated with days to silking by both intra- and inter-genic TASs. A large proportion (82%) of these TASs comes from noncoding regions, similar to findings from human diseases and traits. However, TASs were enriched in both intergenic (53%) and promoter 5kb (24%) regions, but under-represented in a set of nonsynonymous SNPs.

Dissection of melanocyte stem cell transcriptomes during melanocyte regeneration in adult zebrafish

Project description:To elucidate mechanisms governing McSC self-renewal and differentiation we analyzed individual transcriptomes from thousands of melanocyte lineage cells during the regeneration process. We identified transcriptional signatures for McSCs, deciphered transcriptional changes and intermediate cell states during regeneration, and analyzed cell-cell signaling changes to discover mechanisms governing melanocyte regeneration.
