SUMMARY

Aims: To elucidate the regulation of gene expression in each immune cell subset and its contribution to autoimmune diseases.

Methods:

JGAS000220: Various immune cell subsets from 21 systemic sclerosis patients, 26 ANCA associated vasculitis, and 28 healthy controls were collected (Naive_B, SM_B, USM_B, DN_B, Plasmablast, Th1, Th2, Th17, Tfh, Naive_CD4, Mem_CD4, Fr._II_eTreg, Naive_CD8, Mem_CD8, mDC, pDC, CD16p_Mono, CD16n_Mono, NK, Neu) and total RNAs were extracted from each subset. RNA-seq was performed for each sample.

E-GEAD-397 / E-GEAD-398 / E-GEAD-420: Whole blood and 28 immune cell subsets from study population were collected (Naive_CD4, Mem_CD4, Fr._I_nTreg, Fr._II_eTreg, Fr._III_T, Th1, Th2, Th17, Tfh, NK, Naive_CD8, Mem_CD8, EM_CD8, CM_CD8, TEMRA_CD8, Naive_B, USM_B, SM_B, DN_B, Plasmablast, CL_Mono (or CD16n_Mono), CD16p_Mono, Int_Mono, NC_Mono, mDC, pDC, LDG, Neu). Whole genome sequencing was performed with whole blood samples. RNA-seq was performed with each immune cell subset samples. After filtering and normalization of the gene expression data, eQTL analysis was performed in each immune cell type.

JGAS000296: 24 peripheral blood immune cell subsets from 50 systemic sclerosis patients and 48 healthy controls were collected (Naive_CD4, Mem_CD4, Fr._I_nTreg, Fr._II_eTreg, Fr._III_T, Th1, Th2, Th17, Tfh, NK, Naive_CD8, EM_CD8, CM_CD8, TEMRA_CD8, Naive_B, USM_B, SM_B, DN_B, Plasmablast, CL_Mono, Int_Mono, NC_Mono, mDC, pDC). RNA-seq was performed with each immune cell subset samples. After gene expression quantification samples were filtered.

JGAS000220 (JGAD000371, JGAD000372, JGAD000373): 19 immune cell subsets from study population were collected (Naive_CD4, Mem_CD4, Fr._II_eTreg, Th1, Th2, Th17, Tfh, NK, Naive_CD8, Mem_CD8, Naive_B, USM_B, SM_B, DN_B, Plasmablast, CD16n_Mono, CD16p_Mono, mDC, pDC). RNA-seq was performed with each immune cell subset sample. ATAC-seq of 15 immune cell subsets was also performed.

Mapping Methods STAR (GRCh38)
QC Methods From sequenced reads, adaptor sequences were trimmed using cutadapt (v1.16). In addition, 3′- ends with low-quality bases (Phred quality score < 20) were trimmed using the fastx-toolkit (v0.0.14). Reads containing more than 20% low-quality bases were removed. Subsequently, reads were aligned against the GRCh38 reference sequence using STAR (v2.5.3) in two-pass mode with Gencode version 27 annotations. We excluded samples with uniquely mapped read rates < 90% (with the exception of < 70% for plasmablasts and <85% for the other B cell subsets) or unique read counts < 6 × 10^6. Expression was quantified using HTSeq (v 0.11.2.). For QC of the expression data, in each cell population, we filtered low count genes (< 10 in > 90% of samples), normalized between samples with a trimmed mean of M values (TMM) implemented in edgeR software, converted to log-transformed count per million (CPM), removed batch effects using ComBat software and computed inter-sample Spearman’s correlations of expression levels between each sample and the remaining samples from the same cell subset. We excluded samples with mean correlation coefficients less than 0.9.

Detection method of eQTL Genes expressed at low levels (< 5 count in more than 80% samples or < 0.5 CPM in more than 80% samples) were filtered out in each cell subset. The residual autosomal expression data were normalized between samples with TMM, converted to CPM and then normalized across samples using an inverse normal transform. A Probabilistic Estimation of Expression Residuals (PEER) method was applied to normalized expression data to infer hidden covariates. The top 2 genetic principal components, sample collection phase, clinical diagnosis, sex and latent factors were utilized as covariates for eQTL analysis. Mem CD8s, which were collected in Phase1 and divided into CM CD8 and EM CD8 in Phase2, were analyzed jointly with EM CD8 for eQTL analysis because the majority of the Mem CD8 population consisted of EM CD8. For each cell subset conditional eQTL analysis, we used a QTLtools permutation pass with 10,000 permutations to obtain gene-level nominal P value thresholds corresponding to FDR < 0.05. We subsequently performed forward-backward stepwise regression eQTL analysis with a QTLtools conditional pass. For nominal eQTL analysis, we used a QTLtools nominal pass and tested for the association of the variants located within 1Mbp from the TSS of the genes.

In the quality-control analysis, low-quality bases (Phred quality score < 20) were trimmed using the fastx-toolkit (v0.0.14). As the level of mitochondrial transcription is an indicator of cell stress, we applied a cutoff percentage of mitochondrial gene transcripts of < 8%. For detecting outlier samples, Spearman’s correlation for each subset was calculated, and samples with an average r2 < 0.8 were omitted as outliers.
