    Abstract Autoimmune disease heritability is enriched in T cell-specific regulatory regions of the genome. Modern-day T cell datasets now enable association studies between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and a myriad of molecular phenotypes, including chromatin accessibility, gene expression, transcriptional programs, T cell antigen receptor (TCR) amino acid usage, and cell state abundances. Such studies have identified hundreds of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) in T cells that colocalize with genetic risk for autoimmune disease. The key challenge facing immunologists today lies in synthesizing these results toward a unified understanding of the autoimmune T cell: which genes, cell states, and antigens drive tissue destruction?

    Abstract T cell differentiation depends on activation through the T cell receptor (TCR), whose amino acid sequence varies cell to cell. Particular TCR amino acid sequences nearly guarantee Mucosal-Associated Invariant T (MAIT) and Natural Killer T (NKT) cell fates. To comprehensively define how TCR amino acids affects all T cell fates, we analyze the paired αβTCR sequence and transcriptome of 819,772 single cells. We find that hydrophobic CDR3 residues promote regulatory T cell transcriptional states in both the CD8 and CD4 lineages. Most strikingly, we find a set of TCR sequence features, concentrated in CDR2α, that promotes positive selection in the thymus as well as transition from naïve to memory in the periphery. Even among T cells that recognize the same antigen, these TCR sequence features help to explain which T cells form immunological memory, which is essential for effective pathogen response.

    Abstract Single-cell genomic technologies are revealing the cellular composition, identities and states in tissues at unprecedented resolution. They have now scaled to the point that it is possible to query samples at the population level, across thousands of individuals. Combining single-cell information with genotype data at this scale provides opportunities to link genetic variation to the cellular processes underpinning key aspects of human biology and disease. This strategy has potential implications for disease diagnosis, risk prediction and development of therapeutic solutions. But, effectively integrating large-scale single-cell genomic data, genetic variation and additional phenotypic data will require advances in data generation and analysis methods. As single-cell genetics begins to emerge as a field in its own right, we review its current state and the challenges and opportunities ahead.

    Abstract Recent advancements in single-cell technologies have enabled expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) analysis across many individuals at single-cell resolution. Compared with bulk RNA sequencing, which averages gene expression across cell types and cell states, single-cell assays capture the transcriptional states of individual cells, including fine-grained, transient, and difficult-to-isolate populations at unprecedented scale and resolution. Single-cell eQTL (sc-eQTL) mapping can identify context-dependent eQTLs that vary with cell states, including some that colocalize with disease variants identified in genome-wide association studies. By uncovering the precise contexts in which these eQTLs act, single-cell approaches can unveil previously hidden regulatory effects and pinpoint important cell states underlying molecular mechanisms of disease. Here, we present an overview of recently deployed experimental designs in sc-eQTL studies. In the process, we consider the influence of study design choices such as cohort, cell states, and ex vivo perturbations. We then discuss current methodologies, modeling approaches, and technical challenges as well as future opportunities and applications.

    Abstract T-cells recognize antigens and induce specialized gene expression programs (GEPs) enabling functions including proliferation, cytotoxicity, and cytokine production. Traditionally, different classes of helper T-cells express mutually exclusive responses - for example, Th1, Th2, and Th17 programs. However, new single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-Seq) experiments have revealed a continuum of T-cell states without discrete clusters corresponding to these subsets, implying the need for new analytical frameworks. Here, we advance the characterization of T-cells with T-CellAnnoTator (TCAT), a pipeline that simultaneously quantifies pre-defined GEPs capturing activation states and cellular subsets. From 1,700,000 T-cells from 700 individuals across 38 tissues and five diverse disease contexts, we discover 46 reproducible GEPs reflecting the known core functions of T-cells including proliferation, cytotoxicity, exhaustion, and T helper effector states. We experimentally characterize several novel activation programs and apply TCAT to describe T-cell activation and exhaustion in Covid-19 and cancer, providing insight into T-cell function in these diseases.

    Abstract Synovial tissue inflammation is a hallmark of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Recent work has identified prominent pathogenic cell states in inflamed RA synovial tissue, such as T peripheral helper cells; however, the epigenetic regulation of these states has yet to be defined. Here, we examine genome-wide open chromatin at single-cell resolution in 30 synovial tissue samples, including 12 samples with transcriptional data in multimodal experiments. We identify 24 chromatin classes and predict their associated transcription factors, including a CD8 + GZMK+ class associated with EOMES and a lining fibroblast class associated with AP-1. By integrating with an RA tissue transcriptional atlas, we propose that these chromatin classes represent 'superstates' corresponding to multiple transcriptional cell states. Finally, we demonstrate the utility of this RA tissue chromatin atlas through the associations between disease phenotypes and chromatin class abundance, as well as the nomination of classes mediating the effects of putatively causal RA genetic variants.

    Abstract Psoriasis is a chronic, systemic inflammatory condition primarily affecting skin. While the role of the immune compartment (e.g., T cells) is well established, the changes in the skin compartment are more poorly understood. Using longitudinal skin biopsies (n = 375) from the "Psoriasis Treatment with Abatacept and Ustekinumab: A Study of Efficacy"(PAUSE) clinical trial (n = 101), we report 953 expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs). Of those, 116 eQTLs have effect sizes that were modulated by local skin inflammation (eQTL interactions). By examining these eQTL genes (eGenes), we find that most are expressed in the skin tissue compartment, and a subset overlap with the NRF2 pathway. Indeed, the strongest eQTL interaction signal - rs1491377616-LCE3C - links a psoriasis risk locus with a gene specifically expressed in the epidermis. This eQTL study highlights the potential to use biospecimens from clinical trials to discover in vivo eQTL interactions with therapeutically relevant environmental variables.

    Abstract In autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, the immune system attacks the body's own cells. Developing a precise understanding of the cell states where noncoding autoimmune risk variants impart causal mechanisms is critical to developing curative therapies. Here, to identify noncoding regions with accessible chromatin that associate with cell-state-defining gene expression patterns, we leveraged multimodal single-nucleus RNA and assay for transposase-accessible chromatin (ATAC) sequencing data across 28,674 cells from the inflamed synovial tissue of 12 donors. Specifically, we used a multivariate Poisson model to predict peak accessibility from single-nucleus RNA sequencing principal components. For 14 autoimmune diseases, we discovered that cell-state-dependent ('dynamic') chromatin accessibility peaks in immune cell types were enriched for heritability, compared with cell-state-invariant ('cs-invariant') peaks. These dynamic peaks marked regulatory elements associated with T peripheral helper, regulatory T, dendritic and STAT1
