Project description:Two molecular phenotypes of sepsis and acute respiratory distress syndrome, termed hyperinflammatory and hypoinflammatory, have been consistently identified by latent class analysis in numerous cohorts, with widely divergent clinical outcomes and differential responses to some treatments; however, the key biological differences between these phenotypes remain poorly understood. We used host and microbe metagenomic sequencing data from blood to deepen our understanding of biological differences between latent class analysis-derived phenotypes and to assess concordance between the latent class analysis-derived phenotypes and phenotypes reported by other investigative groups (e.g., SRS1-2, MARS1-4, reactive/uninflamed). We analyzed data from 113 hypoinflammatory and 76 hyperinflammatory sepsis patients enrolled in a two-hospital prospective cohort study. Molecular phenotypes had been previously assigned using latent class analysis. The hyperinflammatory and hypoinflammatory phenotypes of sepsis had distinct gene expression signatures, with 5,755 genes (31%) differentially expressed. The hyperinflammatory phenotype was associated with elevated expression of innate immune response genes, while the hypoinflammatory phenotype was associated with elevated expression of adaptive immune response genes, and notably, T-cell response genes. Plasma metagenomic analysis identified differences in prevalence of bacteremia, bacterial DNA abundance and composition between the phenotypes, with an increased presence and abundance of Enterobacteriaceae in the hyperinflammatory phenotype. Significant overlap was observed between these phenotypes and previously identified transcriptional subtypes of acute respiratory distress syndrome (reactive/uninflamed) and sepsis (SRS1-2). Analysis of data from the VANISH trial indicated that corticosteroids might have a detrimental effect in hypoinflammatory patients. The hyperinflammatory and hypoinflammatory phenotypes have distinct transcriptional and metagenomic features that could be leveraged for precision treatment strategies.
Project description:This repository contains all the FASTQ files for the five data modalities (scRNA-seq, scATAC-seq, Multiome, CITE-seq+scVDJ-seq, and spatial transcriptomics) used in the article \\"An Atlas of Cells in The Human Tonsil,\\" published in Immunity in 2024. Inspired by the TCGA barcodes, we have named each fastq file with the following convention: [TECHNOLOGY].[DONOR_ID].[SUBPROJECT].[GEM_ID].[LIBRARY_ID].[LIBRARY_TYPE].[LANE].[READ].fastq.gz which allows to retrieve all metadata from the name itself. Here is a full description of each field: - TECHNOLOGY: scRNA-seq, scATAC-seq, Multiome, CITE-seq+scVDJ-seq, and spatial transcriptomics (Visium). We also include the fastq files associated with the multiome experiments performed on two mantle cell lymphoma patients (MCL). - DONOR_ID: identifier for each of the 17 patients included in the cohort. We provide the donor-level metadata in the file \\"tonsil_atlas_donor_metadata.csv\\", including the hospital, sex, age, age group, cause for tonsillectomy and cohort type for every donor. - SUBPROJECT: each subproject corresponds to one run of the 10x Genomics Chromium™ Chip. - GEM_ID: each run of the 10x Genomics Chromium™ Chip consists of up to 8 \\"GEM wells\\" (see https://www.10xgenomics.com/support/software/cell-ranger/getting-started/cr-glossary): a set of partitioned cells (Gel Beads-in-emulsion) from a single 10x Genomics Chromium™ Chip channel. We give a unique identifier to each of these channels. - LIBRARY_ID: one or more sequencing libraries can be derived from a GEM well. For instance, multiome yields two libraries (ATAC and RNA) and CITE-seq+scVDJ yields 4 libraries (RNA, ADT, BCR, TCR). - LIBRARY_TYPE: the type of library for each library_id. Note that we used cell hashing () for a subset of the scRNA-seq libraries, and thus the library_type can be \\"not_hashed\\", \\"hashed_cdna\\" (RNA expression) or \\"hashed_hto\\" (the hashtag oligonucleotides). - LANE: to increase sequencing depth, each library was sequenced in more than one lane. Important: all lanes corresponding to the same sequencing library need to be inputed together to cellranger, because they come from the same set of cells. - READ: for scATAC-seq we have three reads (R1, R2 or R3), see cellranger-atac's documentation. While we find these names to be the most useful, they need to be changed to follow cellranger's conventions. We provide a code snippet in the README file of the GitHub repository associated with the tonsil atlas to convert between both formats (https://github.com/Single-Cell-Genomics-Group-CNAG-CRG/TonsilAtlas/). Besides the fastq files, cellranger (and other mappers) require additional files, which we also provide in this repository: - cell_hashing_metadata.csv: as mentioned above, we ran cell hashing (10.1186/s13059-018-1603-1) to detect doublets and reduce cost per cell. This file provides the sequence of the hashtag oligonucleotides in cellranger convention to allow demultiplexing. - cite_seq_feature_reference.csv: similar to the previous file, this one links each protein surface marker to the hashtag oligonucleotide that identified it in the CITE-seq experiment. - V10M16-059.gpr and V19S23-039.gpr: these correspond to the two slides of the two Visium experiments performed in the tonsil atlas. They are needed to run spaceranger. - [GEM_ID]_[SLIDE]_[CAPTURE_AREA].jpg: 8 images associated with the Visium experiments. Here, GEM_ID refers to each of the 4 capture areas in each slide. - [TECHNOLOGY]_sequencing_metadata.csv: the GEM-level metadata for each technology. It includes the relationship between subproject, gem_id, library_id, library_type and donor_id. These are the other repositories associated with the tonsil atlas: - Expression and accessibility matrices: https://zenodo.org/records/10373041 - Seurat objects: https://zenodo.org/records/8373756 - HCATonsilData package: https://bioconductor.org/packages/release/data/experiment/html/HCATonsilData.html - Azimuth: https://azimuth.hubmapconsortium.org/ - Github: https://github.com/Single-Cell-Genomics-Group-CNAG-CRG/TonsilAtlas
