Experiment / E4FDC5E6UIntegrated lentiMPRA

lentiMPRA of CAD-associated SNP alleles in proliferative primary human aortic SMCs

Coronary artery disease-associated variants regulate vascular smooth muscle cell gene expression

A 200-bp allele-specific candidate regulatory sequence library was tested after lentiviral integration in primary aortic smooth muscle cells from six donors (three female and three male). Cells remained in complete smooth muscle medium containing 5% FBS for 24 hours to model the proliferative state; RNA/DNA reporter counts were analyzed with MPRAnalyze.

Perturbation & assay details

Complete smooth muscle medium containing 5% FBS for 24 hours (proliferative condition); lentiMPRA library transduction at MOI 100

Each CAD-associated SNP was represented by reference and alternate 200-bp sequences centered on the variant, with 15-bp adaptors and randomized molecular barcodes. The constructs were cloned in pLS-SceI, packaged into lentivirus, integrated into primary cells, and read out as RNA/DNA counts after 48 hours; six independent donor cultures were used. MPRAnalyze quantified enhancer activity against scrambled oligos and tested allelic imbalance.

Quality control

The authors retained candidate regulatory sequences with at least 10 unique molecular barcodes per CRS; the generated table contains the 40,132 CRS rows present in the authors' barcode-filtered activity output, including barcode-qualified negative controls. MPRAflow counted only barcodes observed in both RNA and DNA for the same sample. MPRAnalyze used scrambled oligos as the negative baseline and Benjamini-Hochberg correction for activity and allelic tests. Statistical-significance flags are preserved from the source outputs; both FDR < 0.10 and FDR <= 0.05 allelic flags are provided because the Results/figure captions and Methods state different thresholds.

Curation notes

Primary cells were isolated from ascending aorta of healthy heart-transplant donors. GEO maps donors C99, G96, and L101 to female and F93, K101, and W87 to male. The source labels SMC_WithFBS and paper term Proliferative are harmonized here. Activity p-values/FDR and author calls come from Supplemental Table 3; allelic results come from Supplemental Table 5. The 236 CRS rows for which Figure 2C lacks a matching activity-statistic entry retain blank activity_statistic values rather than imputation. Some MPRA-tested rs IDs are absent from Supplemental Table 1 and therefore have blank reference/alternate allele annotations.
