Seurat4.0系列教程8:细胞周期评分和回归分析

我们展示了如何通过基于传统细胞周期相关marker计算细胞周期得分,并在预处理过程中将这些分数从数据中回归,以消除 scRNA-seq 数据中细胞周期异质性的影响。我们在小鼠造血祖细胞数据集上证明了这一点。您可以在此处下载运行此教程所需的文件。

library(Seurat)

# Read in the expression matrix The first row is a header row, the first column is rownames
exp.mat <- read.table(file = "../data/nestorawa_forcellcycle_expressionMatrix.txt", header = TRUE, 
    as.is = TRUE, row.names = 1)

# A list of cell cycle markers, from Tirosh et al, 2015, is loaded with Seurat.  We can
# segregate this list into markers of G2/M phase and markers of S phase
s.genes <- cc.genes$s.genes
g2m.genes <- cc.genes$g2m.genes

# Create our Seurat object and complete the initalization steps
marrow <- CreateSeuratObject(counts = exp.mat)
marrow <- NormalizeData(marrow)
marrow <- FindVariableFeatures(marrow, selection.method = "vst")
marrow <- ScaleData(marrow, features = rownames(marrow))

使用FindVariableFeatures()发现的高变基因在对象上运行PCA,我们可以看到,虽然大多数差异可以用谱系来解释,但PC8和PC10在包括TOP2AMKI67在内的细胞周期基因上是分开的。我们将尝试从数据中回归此信号,以便细胞周期异质性不会对 PCA 或下游分析造成影响。

marrow <- RunPCA(marrow, features = VariableFeatures(marrow), ndims.print = 6:10, nfeatures.print = 10)

分配细胞周期得分

首先,我们根据每个细胞的G2 / M和S期marker的表达为其分配分数。 这些marker集合在表达水平上应该是反相关的,不表达它们的细胞可能不会循环并处于G1期。

我们用CellCycleScoring()函数分配分数,该函数将S和G2 / M分数以及每个细胞在G2M,S或G1阶段的预测分类存储在对象元数据metadata中。 CellCycleScoring()还可以通过set.ident = TRUE来将Seurat对象的身份设置为细胞周期分期。 请注意,Seurat在下游细胞周期回归中不使用离散分类(G2M / G1 / S)。 相反,它使用G2M和S期的定量评分。 但是,如果有兴趣,可以使用预测的分类。

marrow <- CellCycleScoring(marrow, s.features = s.genes, g2m.features = g2m.genes, set.ident = TRUE)

# view cell cycle scores and phase assignments
head(marrow[[]])

在数据归一化期间回归得出细胞周期得分

现在,我们尝试从数据中消除(“回归”)这种异质性。 对于Seurat v1.X的用户,这是通过RegressOut实现的。 但是,由于此过程的结果存储在归一化后的slot中,因此我们现在将此功能合并到ScaleData()函数中。

对于每个基因,Seurat计算模拟基因表达与S和G2M细胞周期得分之间的关系。 该模拟的残差表示“校正后的”表达式矩阵,可在下游用于降维分析。

marrow <- ScaleData(marrow, vars.to.regress = c("S.Score", "G2M.Score"), features = rownames(marrow))

# Now, a PCA on the variable genes no longer returns components associated with cell cycle
marrow <- RunPCA(marrow, features = VariableFeatures(marrow), nfeatures.print = 10)

## PC_ 1 
## Positive:  BLVRB, CAR2, KLF1, AQP1, CES2G, ERMAP, CAR1, FAM132A, RHD, SPHK1 
## Negative:  TMSB4X, H2AFY, CORO1A, PLAC8, EMB, MPO, PRTN3, CD34, LCP1, BC035044

由于最好的细胞周期marker在组织和物种间极度保守,我们发现此流程能够在不同的数据集上可靠地工作。

可选工作流

上面的过程将删除与细胞周期相关的所有信号。 在某些情况下,我们发现这会对下游分析产生负面影响,尤其是在分化过程中(如鼠类造血),在此过程中干细胞处于静止状态,分化的细胞正在增殖(反之亦然)。 在这种情况下,将所有细胞周期效应消除,也会使干细胞和祖细胞之间的区别变得模糊。

作为替代方案,我们建议消除G2M和S期评分之间的差异。 这意味着分离非循环细胞和循环细胞的信号将保留,但是增殖细胞之间的细胞周期差异(通常是不感兴趣的)将被从数据中剔除。

marrow$CC.Difference <- marrow$S.Score - marrow$G2M.Score
marrow <- ScaleData(marrow, vars.to.regress = "CC.Difference", features = rownames(marrow))

# cell cycle effects strongly mitigated in PCA
marrow <- RunPCA(marrow, features = VariableFeatures(marrow), nfeatures.print = 10)
