Single-cell transcriptomics reveals bimodality in expression and splicing in immune cells
Open accessAbstract
Recent molecular studies have shown that, even when derived from a seemingly homogenous population, individual cells can exhibit substantial differences in gene expression, protein levels and phenotypic output, with important functional consequences. Existing studies of cellular heterogeneity, however, have typically measured only a few pre-selected RNAs or proteins simultaneously, because genomic profiling methods could not be applied to single cells until very recently. Here we use single-cell RNA sequencing to investigate heterogeneity in the response of mouse bone-marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDCs) to lipopolysaccharide. We find extensive, and previously unobserved, bimodal variation in messenger RNA abundance and splicing patterns, which we validate by RNA-fluorescence in situ hybridization for select transcripts. In particular, hundreds of key immune genes are bimodally expressed across cells, surprisingly even for genes that are very highly expressed at the population average. Moreover, splicing patterns demonstrate previously unobserved levels of heterogeneity between cells. Some of the observed bimodality can be attributed to closely related, yet distinct, known maturity states of BMDCs; other portions reflect differences in the usage of key regulatory circuits. For example, we identify a module of 137 highly variable, yet co-regulated, antiviral response genes. Using cells from knockout mice, we show that variability in this module may be propagated through an interferon feedback circuit, involving the transcriptional regulators Stat2 and Irf7. Our study demonstrates the power and promise of single-cell genomics in uncovering functional diversity between cells and in deciphering cell states and circuits.

“DCs are mostly post-mitotic, and LPS synchronizes them (27) and causes dramatic regulatory changes from the expression of thousands of transcripts (22, 24, 25) to protein phosphorylation (26).”

“Across a set of cells, this manifests as bimodality of gene expression (with one mode at zero). While in some cases such bimodality is due to stochastic (‘bursty’) gene expression40 or more stable variation between cell types and states3, in many others it is dominated by false negatives70,85.”

“Second, because of both stochastic and regulated differences between the cells, each cell forms its own ‘perturbation system’, in which multiple regulators are subtly, or more strongly, perturbed, possibly reducing the need for additional experimental perturbations3,41.”

“For example, an analysis (N.Y., A.R. and colleagues3) of the covariation in the expression of ~600 transcripts across 18 dendritic cells detected a module of antiviral gene expression, which included two key transcription factors, STAT2 and IRF7.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
