In this vignette, we analyze single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data obtained from small cell lung cancer (SCLC) patients with cisplatin treatment (Stewart et al., Nat. Cancer 1, 2020).
The data can be loaded by the following code:
sclc <- readRDS(url("https://figshare.com/ndownloader/files/34112474"))
The data are stored in DOI:10.6084/m9.figshare.19200254 and the generating process is described below.
The data were obtained from NCBI repository with accession number
GSE138474:
GSM4104164.
The following functions read_matrix_10xdata()
and
read_gene_10xdata()
process the scRNA-seq data into a raw count matrix
and gene dataframe. Here, make.unique()
is applied for naming gene
symbols, which appends a sequential number with a period delimiter for
every repeat name encountered.
read_matrix_10xdata <- function(path_dir){
barcode.path <- paste0(path_dir, "barcodes.tsv.gz")
feature.path <- paste0(path_dir, "features.tsv.gz")
matrix.path <- paste0(path_dir, "matrix.mtx.gz")
mat <- as.matrix(Matrix::readMM(file = matrix.path))
genes <- read.delim(feature.path, header = FALSE, stringsAsFactors = FALSE)
barcodes <- read.delim(barcode.path, header = FALSE, stringsAsFactors = FALSE)
rownames(mat) <- make.unique(as.character(genes$V2))
colnames(mat) <- make.unique(barcodes$V1)
return(mat)
}
read_gene_10xdata <- function(path_dir){
feature.path <- paste0(path_dir, "features.tsv.gz")
genes <- read.delim(feature.path, header = FALSE, stringsAsFactors = FALSE)
return(genes)

Remove variables (genes) and samples (cells) with low quality, by processing the following three steps:
First of all, add metadata for both variables and samples using ASURAT
function add_metadata()
.
sclc <- add_metadata(sce = sclc, mitochondria_symbol = "^MT-")
Examine the expression levels of known SCLC marker genes (Ireland, et al., 2020), namely ASCL1, NEUROD1, YAP1, and POU2F3.

Infer cell or disease types, biological functions, and signaling pathway activity at the single-cell level by inputting related databases.
ASURAT transforms centered read count tables to functional feature matrices, termed sign-by-sample matrices (SSMs). Using SSMs, perform unsupervised clustering of samples (cells).
Prepare correlation matrices of gene expressions.
mat <- t(as.matrix(assay(sclc, "centered")))
cormat <- cor(mat, method = "spearman")
Load databases.

The reformatted knowledge-based data were available from the following repositories:
Add formatted databases to metadata(sce)$sign
.
sclcs <- list(DO = sclc, GO = sclc, KG = sclc)
metadata(sclcs$DO) <- list(sign = human_DO[["disease"]])
metadata(sclcs$GO) <- list(sign = human_GO[["BP"]])
metadata(sclcs$KG) <- list(sign = human_KEGG[["pathway"]])
ASURAT function remove_signs()
redefines functional gene sets for the
input database by removing genes, which are not included in
rownames(sce)
, and further removes biological terms including too few
or too many genes.
sclcs$DO <- remove_signs(sce = sclcs$DO, min_ngenes = 2, max_ngenes = 1000)

ASURAT function cluster_genes()
clusters functional gene sets using a
correlation graph-based decomposition method, producing strongly,
variably, and weakly correlated gene sets (SCG, VCG, and WCG,
respectively).
set.seed(1)

sclcs$KG <- cluster_genesets(sce = sclcs$KG, cormat = cormat,
th_posi = 0.17, th_nega = -0.16)
ASURAT function create_signs()
creates signs by the following
criteria:
min_cnt_strg
(the default value
is 2) andmin_cnt_vari
(the default value is
2),which are independently applied to SCGs and VCGs, respectively.
sclcs$DO <- create_signs(sce = sclcs$DO, min_cnt_strg = 2, min_cnt_vari = 2)
sclcs$GO <- create_signs(sce = sclcs$GO, min_cnt_strg = 3, min_cnt_vari = 3)
sclcs$KG <- create_signs(sce = sclcs$KG, min_cnt_strg = 3, min_cnt_vari = 3)
If signs have semantic similarity information, one can use ASURAT
function remove_signs_redundant()
for removing redundant sings using
the semantic similarity matrices.
simmat <- human_DO$similarity_matrix$disease
sclcs$DO <- remove_signs_redundant(sce = sclcs$DO, similarity_matrix = simmat,

IDs (e.g., GOID:XXX
) or descriptions (e.g., metabolic
) using
grepl()
.
keywords <- "Covid|COVID"
sclcs$KG <- remove_signs_manually(sce = sclcs$KG, keywords = keywords)
ASURAT function create_sce_signmatrix()
creates a new
SingleCellExperiment object new_sce
, consisting of the following
information:

: counts (SSM whose entries are termed sign
scores),names(colData(new_sce))
: nReads, nGenes, percMT,names(rowData(new_sce))
: ParentSignID, Description, CorrGene,
etc.,names(metadata(new_sce))

Significant signs are analogous to differentially expressed genes but bear biological meanings. Note that naïve usages of statistical tests should be avoided because the row vectors of SSMs are centered.
Instead, ASURAT function compute_sepI_all()
computes separation
indices for each cluster against the others. Briefly, a separation index
“sepI”, ranging from -1 to 1, is a nonparametric measure of significance
of a given sign score for a given subpopulation. The larger (resp.
smaller) sepI is, the more reliable the sign is as a positive (resp.
negative) marker for the cluster.

Simultaneously analyze multiple sign-by-sample matrices, which helps us characterize individual samples (cells) from multiple biological aspects.
ASURAT function plot_multiheatmaps()
shows heatmaps (ComplexHeatmap
object) of sign scores and gene expression levels (if there are), where
rows and columns stand for sign (or gene) and sample (cell),
respectively.
First, remove unrelated signs by setting keywords, followed by selecting top significant signs and genes for the clustering results with respect to separation index and p-value, respectively.
