第三次分群，以T细胞为例（CNS图表复现20）

Posted on by

前面我们展现了 CNS图表复现08—肿瘤单细胞数据第一次分群通用规则，然后呢，第二次分群的上皮细胞可以细分恶性与否，免疫细胞呢，细分可以成为: B细胞，T细胞，巨噬细胞，树突细胞等等。实际上每个免疫细胞亚群仍然可以继续精细的划分，以文章为例：

  • Macrophages from lung tumor biopsies (n = 1,379) were clus- tered into 5 distinct groups (Figure S7A) followed by differential gene expression in each resulting cluster
  • T cells and NK cells (n = 2,226) were analyzed in the same manner as macrophages and resulted in 5 distinct T/NK cell pop- ulations .

这就是正文的图表5：

首先是Macrophages细分 ：

尝试复现T细胞的亚群细分

文章提到的是

  • Macrophages from lung tumor biopsies (n = 1,379) were clus- tered into 5 distinct groups (Figure S7A) followed by differential gene expression in each resulting cluster
  • T cells and NK cells (n = 2,226) were analyzed in the same manner as macrophages and resulted in 5 distinct T/NK cell pop- ulations .

首先我们拿到T cells and NK cells数据集

rm(list=ls())
options(stringsAsFactors = F)
library(Seurat)
library(ggplot2)
### 来源于：CNS图表复现02—Seurat标准流程之聚类分群的step1-create-sce.R
load(file = 'first_sce.Rdata')

### 来源于 step2-anno-first.R 
load(file = 'phe-of-first-anno.Rdata')

sce=sce.first
table(phe$immune_annotation)
# # immune (CD45+,PTPRC), epithelial/cancer (EpCAM+,EPCAM), and stromal (CD10+,MME,fibo or CD31+,PECAM1,endo)

genes_to_check = c("PTPRC","CD19",'PECAM1','MME','CD3G', 'CD4', 'CD8A' )
p <- DotPlot(sce, features = genes_to_check,
 assay='RNA' ) 
p
table(phe$immune_annotation,phe$seurat_clusters)

cells.use <- row.names(sce@meta.data)[which(phe$immune_annotation=='immune')]
length(cells.use)
sce <-subset(sce, cells=cells.use) 
sce

# 实际上这里需要重新对sce进行降维聚类分群，为了节省时间
# 我们直接载入前面的降维聚类分群结果，但是并没有载入tSNE哦
## 来源于： CNS图表复现05—免疫细胞亚群再分类 
load(file = 'phe-of-subtypes-Immune-by-manual.Rdata')
sce@meta.data=phe
table(phe$immuSub)

# 需要背景知识
# https://www.abcam.com/primary-antibodies/immune-cell-markers-poster
# NK Cell* CD11b+, CD122+, NK1.1+, NKG2D+, NKp46+
# NCR1 Gene. Natural Cytotoxicity Triggering Receptor 1; NK-P46; Natural Killer Cell P46-Related Protein; 
# NKG2D is a transmembrane protein belonging to the NKG2 family of C-type lectin-like receptors. NKG2D is encoded by KLRK1 gene

# T Cell* CD3+ 
genes_to_check = c('CD3G', 'CD4', 'CD8A', 'FOXP3',
 'TNF','IFNG','KLRK1','NCR1')
p <- DotPlot(sce, features = genes_to_check,group.by = 'seurat_clusters') + coord_flip()
p

cells.use <- row.names(sce@meta.data)[which(phe$immuSub=='Tcells')]
length(cells.use)
sce <-subset(sce, cells=cells.use) 
sce
# 26485 features across 4555 samples within 1 assay

然后走降维聚类分群流程

挑选出来了 4555 个细胞，走标准流程即可：

sce <- NormalizeData(sce, normalization.method = "LogNormalize", 
 scale.factor = 10000)
GetAssay(sce,assay = "RNA")
sce <- FindVariableFeatures(sce, 
 selection.method = "vst", nfeatures = 2000) 
# 步骤 ScaleData 的耗时取决于电脑系统配置（保守估计大于一分钟）
sce <- ScaleData(sce) 
sce <- RunPCA(object = sce, pc.genes = VariableFeatures(sce)) 
DimHeatmap(sce, dims = 1:12, cells = 100, balanced = TRUE)
ElbowPlot(sce)
sce <- FindNeighbors(sce, dims = 1:15)
sce <- FindClusters(sce, resolution = 0.2)
table(sce@meta.data$RNA_snn_res.0.2) 
sce <- RunUMAP(object = sce, dims = 1:15, do.fast = TRUE)
DimPlot(sce,reduction = "umap",label=T)
# 这个时候分成了6群

查亚群的标记基因

如果我们去 https://www.abcam.com/primary-antibodies/t-cells-basic-immunophenotyping 可以看到

  • Killer T cells (cytotoxic T lymphocytes: CD8+) , Effector or memory
  • Helper T cells (Th cells: CD4+), TH1,2,17
  • Regulatory T cells (Treg cells: CD4+, CD25+, FoxP3+, CD127+)
  • interferon gamma (IFN-γ) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), two factors produced by activated T cells
  • Helper Th1,IFNγ, IL-2, IL-12, IL-18

比较简单的CD4,CD8,以及FOXP3各自代表的T细胞亚群。比较复杂的可以是：张泽民团队的单细胞研究把T细胞分的如此清楚

但是很不幸，在这个数据集里面它们都不是主要的细胞亚群决定因素。

genes_to_check = c('CD3G', 'CD4', 'CD8A', 'FOXP3',
 'TNF','IFNG','KLRK1','NCR1')
p1 <- DotPlot(sce, features = genes_to_check,group.by = 'seurat_clusters') + coord_flip()
p1
p2=DimPlot(sce,reduction = "umap",label=T)
library(patchwork)
p1+p2

出图如下：

文章呢，选取的其实是 biopsy_site == “Lung” 的T cells and NK cells (n = 2,226) ，区分成为5 distinct T/NK cell pop- ulations .

> table(sce@meta.data$biopsy_site)

Adrenal Brain Liver LN lung Lung Pleura 
 226 2 586 700 485 1692 864

所以我们只能是继续挑选子集走流程。代码如下：

sce <- NormalizeData(sce, normalization.method = "LogNormalize", 
 scale.factor = 10000)
GetAssay(sce,assay = "RNA")
sce <- FindVariableFeatures(sce, 
 selection.method = "vst", nfeatures = 2000) 
# 步骤 ScaleData 的耗时取决于电脑系统配置（保守估计大于一分钟）
sce <- ScaleData(sce) 
sce <- RunPCA(object = sce, pc.genes = VariableFeatures(sce)) 
DimHeatmap(sce, dims = 1:12, cells = 100, balanced = TRUE)
ElbowPlot(sce)
sce <- FindNeighbors(sce, dims = 1:15)
sce <- FindClusters(sce, resolution = 0.5)
table(sce@meta.data$RNA_snn_res.0.5) 
sce <- RunUMAP(object = sce, dims = 1:15, do.fast = TRUE)
genes_to_check = c('CD3G', 'CD4', 'CD8A', 'FOXP3',
 'TNF','IFNG','KLRK1','NCR1')
p1 <- DotPlot(sce, features = genes_to_check,group.by = 'seurat_clusters') + coord_flip()
p1
p2=DimPlot(sce,reduction = "umap",label=T)
library(patchwork)
p1+p2

可以看到，并没有本质上的区别：

复现失败了！唯一看起来比较类似的就是 FOXP3 positive Tregs in cluster 5，哈哈哈哈！

  • Cluster0: generic dont really know.
  • Cluster1: Exhaustion in the pD cluster (1) and the PD/PR cluster (4). (PR/PD feature)
  • Cluster2: Cluster 2 is cytotoxic (GZMK, EOMES, CD8pos, IFNG) (Less in PD)
  • Cluster3: Cluster 3 is enriched for NK cells (Naive feature)
  • Cluster4: Exhaustion in the pD cluster (1) and the PD/PR cluster (4). (PR/PD feature)
  • Cluster5: FOXP3 positive Tregs in cluster 5 (Less in PR)
