Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to constructing a DNA library containing multiple molecular information, and in particular to a high-throughput single-cell multi-omics three-dimensional genome detection method and system. Background Art
[0002] Currently, most 3D genome detection technologies can only detect cell populations, cannot provide detailed information on different types of cells, and cannot show the differences between individual cells, so high-resolution single-cell analysis is not possible.
[0003] In terms of studying the three-dimensional genome structure in single cells, existing methods are mainly based on the following technical routes:
[0004] The first is to physically separate individual cells and study each cell independently. This method is a more traditional single-cell research method and has the problem of low throughput.
[0005] The second is to conduct multiple rounds of "breaking up" and "assembling" experiments on group cells, use ligase to perform multiple rounds of specific labeling for each cell, and then infer the information of the same cell by identifying the specific markers after sequencing. For example, Chinese invention patent CN116536409A discloses a three-dimensional genome detection method that is compatible with a wide range of ChIP DNA inputs, which obtains a good sequencing library by breaking, enriching, amplifying and screening the DNA of a single cell. However, this method relies on multiple rounds of ligation reactions, and there are problems of low ligation efficiency and time-consuming and labor-intensive. In addition, the current single-cell detection method can only detect two modules at most, and cannot fundamentally answer the causal relationship between the three-dimensional structure of chromatin and gene expression.
[0006] The third method is to use a microfluidic platform. For example, Chinese patent application CN117844911A discloses a spatial three-dimensional genomics sequencing method based on a microfluidic chip and its application. This method uses a microfluidic chip for barcode labeling during the overall labeling of the spatial position, thereby improving the resolution and accuracy. However, this method has no enrichment effect on DNA interactions and cannot fully study all the information of three-dimensional genomics.
[0007] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a detection system and method that can maintain high throughput while ensuring integrity and accuracy to obtain single-cell multi-omics three-dimensional genomic information. In addition, most current single-cell technologies can only capture single-omics information, making it difficult to reveal the causal relationship between chromatin structure and its transcriptional regulatory function.

[0110] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand and implement the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention is specifically, clearly and completely described in the following embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Moreover, based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
[0111] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, some technical terms of the present invention are first explained. In the text of the present invention, these explanations are mainly to help those skilled in the art understand and implement the technical solution of the present invention, rather than to limit the present invention. In addition, when other technical interpretations of these technical terms may be made in other disclosures outside the present invention, in order to avoid technical ambiguity, the interpretations of the present invention should be based on the interpretations of the present invention when understanding the present invention.
[0112] 3D genome biology
[0113] Three-dimensional genomics is the study of how the genome is organized and interacts in three-dimensional space. It focuses not only on the genomic DNA sequence itself, but also on the spatial structure of DNA in the cell nucleus. This spatial organization has an important impact on gene expression and cell function.
[0114] Chromatin interaction
[0115] Chromatin interactions refer to the physical contacts and interactions of chromatin fibers (a complex of DNA and associated proteins) in the cell nucleus.
[0116] Chromatin accessibility
[0117] Chromatin accessibility refers to the degree of openness of DNA regions in the chromatin structure to transcription factors and other DNA binding proteins. Open chromatin regions are usually associated with regulatory regions of gene expression and are where functional elements such as gene promoters and enhancers are located. Studying chromatin accessibility can provide important information about the regulatory mechanisms of gene expression.
[0118] Gene expression
[0119] Gene expression refers to the entire process from DNA to functional proteins, including transcription (DNA to RNA), RNA processing, translation (RNA to protein), and protein modification and transport. The regulation of gene expression is the basis of cell function and organism development, and is affected by many factors, including transcription factors, chromatin state, and external signals.
[0120] Proximity ligation
[0121] Proximity ligation is a molecular biology technique used to detect interactions between protein, DNA, or RNA molecules.
[0122] Tn5 transposase
[0123] Tn5 transposase is an enzyme derived from the Tn5 transposon (a bacterial transposon) that is able to insert specific DNA sequences into genomic DNA. This enzyme is widely used in next-generation sequencing technologies because it can simultaneously shear DNA and insert sequencing adapters in one step, greatly simplifying the library preparation process. In addition, Tn5 transposase only binds to open chromatin, allowing specific studies of chromatin accessibility and interactions.
[0124] DNA linker
[0125] DNA adapters are short, synthetic double-stranded DNA fragments that are used to connect to the ends of target DNA molecules for subsequent molecular biology operations. Adapters usually contain specific sequences for sequencing primer binding, allowing the target DNA to be recognized and amplified by high-throughput sequencers. During the Tn5 transposase-mediated library construction process, the adapters are integrated into the target DNA during DNA shearing and insertion.
[0126] Microfluidics platform
[0127] Microfluidic platforms are technology platforms used to manipulate tiny volumes of liquid and conduct biological experiments. These platforms consist of tiny channels, valves, and chambers that can precisely control the flow and mixing of liquids. In single-cell analysis, microfluidic platforms are used to capture and process single cells at a high throughput, allowing genomics, transcriptomics, and other studies to be conducted at the single-cell level. When combined with Tn5 transposase, this platform can achieve high-throughput single-cell capture and analysis, improving the efficiency and accuracy of research.

[0134] (4) Sequencing: Simultaneously obtain three-dimensional genomic information within a single cell.
[0135] Preferably, the analytical process of step (3) comprises combined labeling, microfluidic processing and physical separation.
[0136] As a further preference, the combined marking comprises the following process:
[0137] (2.1) Reverse transcription of adjacent treated cells;
[0138] (2.2) performing multiple rounds of mixing and splitting of the reverse transcribed cells;
[0139] (2.3) Multiple barcode labeling is used to label DNA and RNA sequences separately.
[0140] As a further preference, the microfluidic processing in step (3) includes the following process:
[0141] (3.1) Tn5 transposition reaction;
[0142] (3.2) loading the cells or cell nuclei after the Tn5 transposition reaction onto the microfluidic platform so that the single cells or cell nuclei are encapsulated in the microdroplets;

[0145] (4.1) performing reverse transcription on adjacent treated cells;
[0146] (4.2) performing flow cytometry sorting on the reverse transcribed cells;
[0147] (4.3) Prepare the sequencing library based on the results of flow cytometry.
[0148] The three methods above can all obtain DNA and RNA libraries prepared for sequencing, and then proceed to step (4). The sequencing in step (4) specifically includes the following process:
[0149] Illumina DNA sequencing was performed on DNA libraries and RNA libraries using different sequencing strategies to simultaneously obtain chromatin interactions, chromatin accessibility, and gene expression information of single cells.

[0162] S1, thaw: take 1×10 5 The cross-linked Patski cells were placed in a culture tube, taken out of the -80°C freezer and thawed on ice.
[0163] S2, lysis: After thawing, add 10 μL of 0.1% SDS lysis buffer and incubate at room temperature for 10 minutes to lyse the cells. Then, add 2.5 μL of 20% Triton X-100 to terminate the lysis reaction.
[0164] S3, enzyme digestion: Use AluI restriction endonuclease to digest the chromatin DNA overnight at 37°C.
[0165] S4, A-tailing reaction: After the enzyme digestion is completed, Klenow fragment (3'-->5'exo-) and deoxyadenosine triphosphate (dATP) are added to carry out A-tailing reaction at 37°C for 1 hour.
[0166] S5, Proximity ligation: Perform proximity ligation of chromatin DNA overnight at 16°C using T4 DNA ligase and a dT-terminated, biotinylated DNA linker.
[0167] The DNA linker sequence is as follows:
[0168] SEQ NO: 1, DNA, 5'- / 5Phos / TAGGCGCTGG / iBIOdT / TGCGTTGT-3', Forward-76;
[0169] SEQ NO: 2, DNA, 5'- / 5Phos / CAACGCAACCAGGCCTAT-3', Reverse-76.
[0170] S6, Wash: Wash cells with ATAC-wash buffer and remove the supernatant.
[0171] S7, resuspend and count: Resuspend the cells in 1x Nuclei buffer in the 10x Genomics Multiome kit and count the cells.
[0172] S8, Tn5 transposition: 1.2×10 4 The cells were incubated for 1 hour at 37°C for Tn5 transposition reaction.
[0173] S9, capture and labeling: After transposition is completed, the cells are loaded onto the 10x Genomics microfluidics platform for single cell capture and labeling.
[0174] S10, Reverse transcription: The labeled cells were subjected to reverse transcription reaction at 37°C for 45 minutes.
[0175] S11, sequencing: DNA and cDNA were purified using Dynabeads MyOne SILANE, and then separated using Dynabeads M-280Streptavidin, and sequencing libraries were constructed for each of them; Illumina DNA sequencing was performed on the DNA library and RNA library using internationally accepted sequencing strategies, such as 150+8+24+150 and 28+10+10+90 sequencing strategies.
[0176] Example 4, ChAIR concept verification experiment.
[0177] like Figure 5As shown, before the ChAIR proof-of-concept experiment, a cell population-based dual-omics method ChIATAC was first established. ChIATAC can obtain information about open chromatin sites like ATAC-seq, and can also obtain information about the interactions between these chromatin sites. By combining ChIATAC with a microfluidic system, the ChAIR method of the present invention is formed. The ChAIR method first cross-links the cells, extracts the nuclei and permeabilizes the membrane, and then performs restriction endonuclease digestion, proximity ligation, and transposition using Tn5 enzyme on the chromatin DNA in situ. The genomic DNA after transposition will be interrupted and DNA sequencing adapters will be added. Subsequently, the cell nuclei that have completed the previous reaction are put into the 10xGenomics Multiome microfluidic system. Finally, the DNA and RNA information in a single cell is revealed by sequencing the labeled DNA and RNA molecules at the same time. Each ChAIR experiment generates three data sets (tri-omics), including ChAIR-ATAC data for revealing chromatin accessibility, ChAIR-PET (paired end labeling) for parsing chromatin interactions, and ChAIR-RNA for analyzing gene expression.
[0178] In this example, a proof-of-concept experiment was performed using an equal mixture of human K562 cells (a myeloid leukemia cell line) and mouse Patski cells (a hybrid mouse fibroblast cell line) to generate a high-quality tri-omics dataset, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the effectiveness of the ChAIR experimental protocol in generating high-quality three-omics datasets is confirmed. As can be seen from the figure, the overall double-cell ratio is 5.2%, which also confirms the reliability of the microfluidic system in single-cell analysis.
[0179] In addition, we visualize the ChAIR data in three aspects (RNA, ATAC and PET) together with the reference genome (this can be achieved through data visualization software in the existing technology, such as Integrative Genomics Viewer or similar software), as shown in Figure 8-Figure 13 As shown in the ChAIR-PET data (shown as two points connected by a horizontal line), hierarchical clustering analysis shows that cells in the same cluster share similar chromatin folding patterns. In contrast, significant differences can be observed between cells in different clusters, highlighting the heterogeneity of cells at different cell cycle stages. Overall, ChAIR data show high efficiency in revealing the synergy between gene expression (RNA), open chromatin accessibility (ATAC), and chromatin interactions (PET) in single cells.
[0180] Example 5, experiment to verify the interaction between chromatin structure and transcription during the cell cycle.
[0181] The cell cycle is an important cell characteristic from DNA replication to cell division. The complete cell cycle includes G1 phase, S phase, G2 phase and mitosis phase. The existing literature in the prior art has detailed the characterization of specific gene transcription in each phase. At the same time, the chromatin folding structure during the cell cycle is a current active research topic. However, the exact interaction between specific transcription programs and chromatin folding dynamics during the cell cycle has not been fully characterized. This example is based on K562 and Patski cells. The three-dimensional genomics data obtained by the ChAIR method of Example 3 or Example 4 provides the above-mentioned characterization data.
[0182] The ChAIR-RNA data acquisition method in Example 4 was used to obtain the ChAIR-RNA data specific marker gene expression scatter plots of K562 and Patski cells in the S and G2 / M phases in combination with the differential expression maps of genes specifically expressed in the S phase and G2 / M phase in the prior art ( Fig.14 ) to obtain the UMAP map of Patski ChAIR-RNA data ( Fig.15 ) and the PCA plot of the distribution of individual K562 cells based on their cell cycle marker genes ( Fig.16 ). By analyzing the corresponding ChAIR-PET data and the polymerized TAD ( Fig.17 and Fig.18 ) analysis showed that compartment intensity and TAD signals were highly identifiable in G1 and S phases, but significantly reduced in G2 / M phases. In addition, promoter-enhancer interactions (TSS-E) of marker genes specifically expressed in S phase and G2 / M phase showed enhanced interaction signals in their respective phases ( Fig.19 ).
[0183] In addition, based on the position of the cell cycle on the principal component analysis (PCA) plot, we grouped the similar cells in Patski cells and K562 cells into 42 unique 'metacells', as follows: Fig. 20 and Fig.21 As shown. Cells in each metacell share highly similar cellular properties, and the chromatin contacts in each metacell serve as a robust data representative for analyzing the process of chromatin folding and gene transcription during the cell cycle and minimizing random errors in individual cells. As shown in the figure, the expression intensity (RNA) and promoter intensity (ATAC) of the S phase-specifically expressed marker genes are low in the G1 phase, increase after entering the S phase, peak toward the end of the S phase, and continue to decline in the G2 / M phase, which is closely consistent with the progression of the cell cycle pseudo-time ( Fig. 22), G2 / M-specific marker genes followed this pattern, but peaked in the G2 / M phase and declined towards the end of the phase ( Fig.23 ), showing coordinated changes in gene expression and chromatin accessibility.
[0184] In summary, by analyzing ChAIR data from two different perspectives, either ChAIR-RNA or ChAIR-PET data, we demonstrated the effectiveness of ChAIR in revealing the genomic framework supporting cell-specific transcriptional regulation and also demonstrated the ability of ChAIR to achieve efficient single-cell triplet analysis.
[0185] Example 6. Triple combinatorial landscape of transcriptome, epigenome and 3D genome in single cells of mouse brain.
[0186] In mouse brain research, existing technologies based on gene expression have extensively documented multiple cell populations and established a rich knowledge base, but the genomic mechanisms that regulate cell-specific transcriptional programs remain unclear.
[0187] This example uses the high-throughput capabilities of ChAIR to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the three-dimensional epigenome (including chromatin folding and epigenomic state) landscape and transcriptional regulation in mouse brain cells.
[0188] This example conducts a stratified study based on five key developmental time points of the brain during development and aging: day 2 (P2), day 11 (P11), day 95 (P95), day 365 (P365, 1 year), and day 730 (P730, 2 years) after birth ( Fig.25 ). Combined with the ChAIR method in Example 3 or 4, 222,698 high-quality ChAIR data were collected from these five age points, with high repeatability ( Fig.26 ). The ChAIR-RNA data were annotated using a label transfer method based on a reference single-cell RNA sequencing dataset that has been published in the prior art. This dataset analyzes cells in the central nervous system of the mouse brain. The combined ChAIR-RNA data showed high similarity to the reference data ( Fig. 27 and Fig.28 ), while showing significant age-related changes at different age points ( Fig.29 and Fig.26 A). Of the 199 well-defined mouse brain cell types known in the prior art, 121 cell types were identified using the above method, and these types were characterized by the expression of typical marker genes ( Fig.30 and Fig.31), which belong to 45 cell populations of 7 major brain cell classes: excitatory neurons (ExN), inhibitory neurons (InhN), astrocytes / ependyma (Ast), oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPC), oligodendrocytes (Oligo), microglia (MGL), and vascular cells (VAS) ( Fig.30 and Fig.28 ). At the same time, each cell type identified by ChAIR-RNA data has corresponding high-quality ChAIR-ATAC and ChAIR-PET datasets, which show high correlation with other major cell class-related methods in terms of epigenomic state and chromatin folding features ( Fig.32 , Fig.33 , Fig.35 ) and showed specific open chromatin sites ( Fig.34 , Fig.36 ) and characterization of chromatin regions, TADs, and chromatin contacts in both ensemble and single-cell views ( Fig.37 , Fig.38 ).
[0189] To analyze the correlation between RNA, ATAC, and PET data generated by ChAIR, for 23 of the 45 cell groups, each trimodal dataset was sufficient for in-depth analysis. To quantitatively assess each data modality for cell type identification, this example measures the specificity of a given feature, including transcription (RNA data), gene activity (gene body ATAC signal), promoter strength (ATAC TSS), enhancer strength (ATAC enhancer sites), and chromatin looping (PET data), of a particular cell type over the background noise of other cells. All single-modality CISs showed clear cell type specificity, with transcription CIS and chromatin looping CIS values at the same level, while ATAC-related CISs lagged ( Fig.39 ). While the CIS values for transcriptional specificity and chromatin looping were not significantly different, their matrix profiles showed clear differences, suggesting that chromatin contacts may provide a perspective for cell identification distinct from gene expression. Furthermore, combining chromatin looping specificity with ATAC-based open chromatin specificity, collectively referred to as 3D epigenomic signatures or states, significantly improved the CIS values for each specific cell group and for all 23 cell groups ( Fig.39 , Fig.40 , Fig.41 For example, in the case of OPCs and mature oligodendrocytes (MOLs), the composite CIS of the 3D epigenomic signature was significantly higher, with a clearer distinction between the transcriptomic signatures and background noise of OPCs and MOLs ( Fig.40 , Fig.41 ).
[0190] A single-cell browser view of ChAIR data at the Cbln1 locus further revealed extensive coordinated chromatin interactions, high levels of open accessibility, and active transcription. Fig.42 ).
[0191] This example further demonstrates that the 3D epigenomic state associated with marker genes can indicate the identity of a cell, emphasizing the close connection between the epigenomic state and 3D chromatin contacts and cell-specific transcriptional programs.
[0192] Example 7. Spatially resolved region-specific 3D epigenomic characterization.
[0193] As mentioned above, the ChAIR method of the present invention can effectively generate trimodal data including RNA and genomic information; however, unlike spatial transcriptomics, it does not provide anatomical information.
[0194] To address this issue, this example utilizes a spatial transcriptome dataset from adult mice. According to the prior art, coronal hemi-brain sections of mice can be generated by Stereo-seq, and then experiments are conducted to combine the 3D epigenomic features of ChAIR data with the brain region specificity provided by stereo-sequence data. If the ChAIR RNA data matches the stereo-sequence RNA data, then the synchronized ChAIR-ATAC and -PET data can be assigned to the corresponding spatial positions defined by Stereo-seq, thereby adding a key spatial dimension to the understanding of three-dimensional epigenomics.
[0195] The aforementioned ChAIR-RNA data were used to annotate bin 50 (50 × 50 bins) of Stereo-seq data, and the 20 anatomical regions identified by Stereo-seq were successfully linked to the 19 cell types defined by ChAIR-RNA data with high specificity ( Figure 43-Figure 46 These cell types, particularly neurons from the cortex and hippocampus, closely matched their original spatial annotations known from the prior art. The uniformity of ChAIR and Stereo-seq was validated by evaluating the spatial distribution of canonical marker genes and histological staining of adjacent tissue sections ( Fig.47 ).
[0196] Next, the ChAIR-RNA signals of various exon marker genes, including TEGLU and DGGRC, were mapped to the anatomical sections of the coronal hemisections in Stereo-seq ( Fig.48 ), these results revealed distinct expression patterns in the cerebral cortex, highlighting the outer (layer 2 / 3), middle (layer 4), inner (layer 5 / 6) regions of the neocortex and the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus ( Fig.48 , 1-2 columns), indicating that ChAIR-Stereo data integration has high accuracy.
[0197] When characterizing ChAIR data in Example 5 above, it was recognized that chromatin loops are also unique features, and the composite 3D epigenomic signature provides superior specificity for cell recognition ( Fig.39 , Fig.40 , Fig.41 ), especially for ChAIR data matching Stereo-seq data, this example focuses on 8 groups of cells with sufficient data, and 3D epigenomic data are analyzed in depth ( Fig.49 ). It can be seen that the CIS values of chromatin loops, especially 3D epigenomic features, are significantly higher than those of features expressing gene expression alone ( Fig.48 2-4 columns, Fig.49 , Fig.50 ). For example, the marker gene transcription profile of TEGLU7 (specific to cortical layer 2 / 3) showed signal enrichment in both cortical layer 2 / 3 and the dentate gyrus, while chromatin loops and 3D epigenomic features showed higher signal in cortical layer 2 / 3. Similarly, marker gene transcription of DGGRC cells was enriched in the hippocampus region, with high levels of gene expression in the cortical layers. However, chromatin loops and 3D epigenomic profiles were highly specific to the hippocampus, with minimal background noise from other anatomical regions. Finally, the browser view of the single-cell resolution, particularly at the Nell2 locus, a marker gene for cortical layer 2 / 3 ( Fig.51 ) and Fig.52 Other examples shown highlight specific marker genes associated with chromatin interaction loops and ATAC signals, among which Fig.52 The ChAIR data shown in Figure A shows an overall 2D contact heatmap (left) as well as marker gene promoter-associated chromatin contacts (PET), ATAC, and single-cell RNA tracks for the locus of the cortical layer 4 marker gene Egr1 (right). Figure B shows a similar analysis for the cortical layer 5 marker gene Neto2.
[0198] Thus, this example demonstrates that RNA-based cell specificity can be better defined by integrated 3D epigenomic signatures, using ChAIR-RNA data as a bridge that can be accurately mapped to spatially resolved anatomical regions.
