Abstract

The three-dimensional (3D) organization of interphase chromatin in eukaryotes is complex; details of the corresponding genome structures vary stochastically from cell to cell. Here, we propose a metric to quantify the cell-to-cell heterogeneity of the 3D chromatin conformations in ensembles of single cells: () is defined as the standard deviation of the ensemble distribution of the per cell average Euclidean inter-loci distances , for a given genomic separation between the loci. We have used the metric to examine and quantify in detail the cell-to-cell heterogeneity of conformations of the interphase X chromosome in fruit fly generated via three distinctly different modeling approaches, which take experimental Hi-C data as input. Two of the approaches use bulk Hi-C and lamina-DamID data, while the third relies on single-cell Hi-C maps. An algorithm is proposed to facilitate comparison of of models constructed at different resolutions, and to examine the behavior of conformational heterogeneity with increasing model resolution. Higher resolution models show a greater , in general. The impact of the model resolution is strongest near the genomic distance corresponding to the resolution limit of the model, and diminishes for larger genomic distances: extrapolating the resolution from approximately 14 kb to 2 kb has little effect on the beyond ~100 kb. All chromatin models examined in this work show a very similar trend of monotonically increasing structural heterogeneity with , up to the genomic TAD size; beyond that, significant differences arise, with the model based on single-cell Hi-C showing nearly opposite trend compared to the two models that use bulk Hi-C data. We attribute these major differences to relatively subtle differences in the modeling approaches, which we discuss. Based on the analysis, we propose to explore the possibility of inclusion of bulk Hi-C data into training of chromatin models that are based on necessarily limited single-cell Hi-C data. Within our computational approach, depletion of nuclear lamins leads to increased structural heterogeneity at nearly all genomic separations, with the potential implication that cell functions that depend on chromatin structure might be more variable within lamins depleted nuclei compared to the wild type.

摘要

真核生物间期染色质的三维(3D)组织很复杂;相应基因组结构的细节在细胞间随机变化。在此,我们提出一种度量方法来量化单细胞集合中3D染色质构象的细胞间异质性:对于给定基因座之间的基因组间距 , 被定义为每个细胞平均欧几里得基因座间距离 的集合分布的标准差。我们已使用该度量方法详细检查和量化了通过三种截然不同的建模方法生成的果蝇间期X染色体构象的细胞间异质性,这些方法将实验性Hi-C数据作为输入。其中两种方法使用批量Hi-C和层粘连蛋白-DamID数据,而第三种方法依赖单细胞Hi-C图谱。提出了一种算法,以促进对不同分辨率构建的模型的 进行比较,并研究构象异质性随模型分辨率增加的行为。一般来说,更高分辨率的模型显示出更大的 。模型分辨率的影响在对应于模型分辨率极限的基因组距离 附近最强,而对于更大的基因组距离则减弱:将分辨率从约14 kb外推到2 kb对超过约100 kb的 几乎没有影响。在这项工作中检查的所有染色质模型都显示出非常相似的趋势,即随着 增加,结构异质性单调增加,直至基因组TAD大小;在此之后,出现了显著差异,基于单细胞Hi-C的模型与使用批量Hi-C数据的两个模型相比显示出几乎相反的趋势。我们将这些主要差异归因于建模方法中相对细微的差异,我们将对此进行讨论。基于分析,我们建议探索将批量Hi-C数据纳入基于必然有限的单细胞Hi-C数据的染色质模型训练的可能性。在我们的计算方法中,核层粘连蛋白的缺失导致几乎所有基因组间距处的结构异质性增加,这可能意味着与野生型相比,在层粘连蛋白缺失的细胞核内,依赖染色质结构的细胞功能可能更具变异性。
