Differential gene expression between cells of control and disease organoids

Wrapper functions for gene-wise testing of expression differences between two groups of cells:

#' Summing counts across cells of the same group
#' @param sce.object
#' @param split_by define the colData accessor that defines individual samples,
#'e.g. "Sample"
#' @return data.frame of gene counts where each row corresponds to a gene and
#' each column to a sample;
#' the value is the sum of counts across all cells of that sample

Gene set over-representation

We used the tests for over-representation of a given gene set within our list of DEG (goi) as implemented in clusterProfiler and reactomePA.

library(clusterProfiler)
## need ENTREZ IDs
eg <-  clusterProfiler::bitr(rownames(scf), fromType="SYMBOL", 
    toType="ENTREZID", OrgDb="org.Hs.eg.db") %>% as.data.table
setnames(eg, names(eg), c("gene_symbol", "entrez"))

## defining genes of interest
goi <- rownames(subset(de.progs, FDR <= 0.05))
goi <- goi[!grepl("^RP[LS]", goi)]
eg <- eg[!grepl("^RP[LS]", gene_symbol)]


## KEGG =======================
ora_kegg.progs <- enrichKEGG( unique(eg[gene_symbol %in% goi]$entrez), 
                             universe = unique(eg$entrez), 
                             organism = "hsa")

ora_kegg.progs <- setReadable(ora_kegg.progs, 'org.Hs.eg.db', 'ENTREZID')

## REACTOME =======================
ora_reactome.progs <- ReactomePA::enrichPathway( unique(eg[gene_symbol %in% goi]$entrez), 
                             universe = unique(eg$entrez), 
                             organism = "human")

ora_reactome.progs <- setReadable(ora_reactome.progs, 'org.Hs.eg.db', 'ENTREZID')


## GO terms =====================
ora_goBP.progs <- enrichGO(gene  = eg[gene_symbol %in% goi]$entrez,
  universe      = unique(eg$entrez),
  OrgDb         = org.Hs.eg.db,
  ont           = "BP",
  pAdjustMethod = "BH",
  pvalueCutoff  = 0.01,
  qvalueCutoff  = 0.05,
  readable      = TRUE)

ora_goMF.progs <- enrichGO(gene = eg[gene_symbol %in% goi]$entrez,
  universe      = unique(eg$entrez),
  OrgDb         = org.Hs.eg.db,
  ont           = "MF",
  pAdjustMethod = "BH",
  pvalueCutoff  = 0.01,
  qvalueCutoff  = 0.05,
  readable      = TRUE)

Visualizations of the ORA results were done with functions of the clusterProfiler package:

## dotplot
dotplot(ora_goBP.ProliferatingRG) + 
  scale_color_gradientn(colours =rev(c("darksalmon", "firebrick3", "firebrick4")))

## cnetplot
cnetplot(ora_goBP.ProliferatingRG, showCategory = 10, 
         colorEdge = TRUE, foldChange = genes_for_cp) +
  scale_colour_gradient2(name = "log2FC", low = "navyblue", 
    high = "red", mid = "white")

## heatplot
heatplot(ora_goBP.ProliferatingRG,
  foldChange = genes_for_cp, showCategory = 10) +
  scale_fill_gradient2(name = "logFC", 
    low = "blue2", mid = "cornsilk1",
    high = "firebrick4", midpoint = 0) +
    theme(legend.position = "bottom")
