Project description:Rationale: To identify functionally relevant common genetic risk variants associated with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), we performed expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) and methylation quantitative trait loci (mQTL) mapping, followed by co-localization of eQTL and mQTL with genetic association signals as well as mediation analysis. Methods: Illumina MEGA genotyping arrays, mRNA sequencing, and Illumina 850k methylation arrays were performed on lung tissue of participants with IPF (234 RNA and 345 DNA samples) and non-diseased control (188 RNA and 202 DNA samples). Transcriptome and methylome datasets were normalized for unknown batch effects using Probabilistic Estimation of Expression Residuals (PEER). eQTL, cell type-interaction eQTL, and mQTL analyses were performed in FastQTL and co-localization analysis in eCAVIAR separately for cases and controls. Benjamini-Hochberg false discovery rate was used for adjustment for multiple comparisons. Results: After appropriate adjustment, we identified 4,745 genes with significant eQTLs in controls and 6,047 in cases (FDR-adjusted p<0.05). Focusing on genetic variants within 10 primary IPF-associated genetic loci, we identified 27 eQTLs in controls and 24 eQTLs in cases (FDR-adjusted p<0.05). Among these signals, we identified association of rs35705950 with expression of MUC5B (Chr11 locus) and rs2076295 with expression of DSP (Chr6 locus) in both cases and controls. To address cell specificity, we performed cell type-interaction eQTL analysis and identified an association of rs2076295 with expression of DSP in smooth muscle cells. mQTL analysis identified CpGs in gene bodies of MUC5B (cg17589883) and DSP (cg08964675) associated with the lead variants in these two loci. eCAVIAR demonstrated strong co-localization of eQTL/mQTL and genetic signal in MUC5B (rs35705950) and DSP (rs2076295) in both cases and controls. Mediation analysis demonstrated partial mediation of the effect of common variants in MUC5B and DSP loci on disease risk though MUC5B and DSP gene expression. Functional validation of the mQTL in MUC5B demonstrates that the CpG is within a putative internal repressor element that interacts through a 3D loop with the enhancer containing the rs35705950 genetic variant. Conclusions: Using lung eQTL/mQTL, co-localization, and mediation analyses, we have established the functional validation of the common IPF genetic risk variants for MUC5B (rs35705950) and DSP (rs2076295). These results provide additional evidence that both MUC5B and DSP are involved in the etiology of IPF.

Project description:Genome wide DNA methylation in blood, subcutaneous and omental visceral adipose tissue from two-step surgical approach (N=9) was analysed in patients with severe obesity using Illumina 850K EPIC technology before and after metabolic surgery (Leipzig Obesity BioBank (LOBB) cohort). Additionally, a validation blood cohort of patients with obesity undergoing metabolic surgery was analyzed for results validation.

Project description:Illumina Infinium DNA Methylation (5mC) profiling arrays are a popular technology to measure genome-scale distribution of 5mC at low cost and high throughput, especially in cancer and other complex diseases. Following the success of the HumanMethylation450 array (450k), Illumina released the MethylationEPIC array (850k) featuring increased coverage of enhancers in addition to regulatory regions primarily covered by the 450k (i.e. promoters, gene bodies). Despite its widespread use, the analysis of 850k data remains suboptimal as it mostly still relies on Illumina’s default annotation, which underestimates enhancers and long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs). We thus developed an approach, based on ENCODE and LNCipedia databases, that greatly improves Illumina’s default annotation of enhancers and long noncoding transcripts. Comparisons between the re-annotated 850k and its precursor, the 450k, or RRBS, another high-throughput 5mC profiling technology, revealed that the 850k covers at least three times more enhancers and lncRNAs than the other two technologies. We further investigated the reproducibility of the three technologies and applied various normalisation methods to 850k data, showing that most of them reduce variability to a level below that of RRBS. When analyzed with our new annotation and normalization pipeline, profiling for 5mC changes in breast cancer biopsies with the 850k highlighted aberrant enhancers methylation as the predominant feature, confirming previous reports. In conclusion, our study provides an updated analysis pipeline for 850k data based on a refined probe annotation and normalization that allows for the improved analysis of methylation at enhancers and long noncoding transcripts.
