Evaluating the Contribution of Cell Type–Specific Alternative Splicing to Variation in Lipid Levels

Genome-wide association studies have identified hundreds of loci associated with lipid levels. However, the genetic mechanisms underlying most of these loci are not well-understood. Recent work indicates that changes in the abundance of alternatively spliced transcripts contribute to complex trait v...

description Genome-wide association studies have identified hundreds of loci associated with lipid levels. However, the genetic mechanisms underlying most of these loci are not well-understood. Recent work indicates that changes in the abundance of alternatively spliced transcripts contribute to complex trait variation. Consequently, identifying genetic loci that associate with alternative splicing in disease-relevant cell types and determining the degree to which these loci are informative for lipid biology is of broad interest. We analyze gene splicing in 83 sample-matched induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) and hepatocyte-like cell lines (n=166), as well as in an independent collection of primary liver tissues (n=96) to perform discovery of splicing quantitative trait loci (sQTLs). We observe that transcript splicing is highly cell type specific, and the genes that are differentially spliced between iPSCs and hepatocyte-like cells are enriched for metabolism pathway annotations. We identify 1384 hepatocyte-like cell sQTLs and 1455 iPSC sQTLs at a false discovery rate of

We identify 1384 hepatocyte-like cell sQTLs and 1455 iPSC sQTLs at a false discovery rate of &lt;5% and find that sQTLs are often shared across cell types. To evaluate the contribution of sQTLs to variation in lipid levels, we conduct colocalization analysis using lipid genome-wide association data. We identify 19 lipid-associated loci that colocalize either with an hepatocyte-like cell expression quantitative trait locus or sQTL. Only 2 loci colocalize with both a sQTL and expression quantitative trait locus, indicating that sQTLs contribute information about genome-wide association studies loci that cannot be obtained by analysis of steady-state gene expression alone. These results provide an important foundation for future efforts that use iPSC and iPSC-derived cells to evaluate genetic mechanisms influencing both cardiovascular disease risk and complex traits in general.</description><identifier>ISSN: 2574-8300</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 2574-8300</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1161/CIRCGEN.120.003249</identifier><identifier>PMID: 37165871</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>United States: Lippincott Williams &amp; Wilkins</publisher><subject>Alternative Splicing ; Genome-Wide Association Study - methods ; Humans ; Lipids ; Original ; Quantitative Trait Loci ; RNA Splicing</subject><ispartof>Circulation.
