Experiment / E9DV1P9Z23' UTR / RNA Stability MPRA (MPRAu)

SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma PASSPORT-seq 3′-UTR MPRA

Functional 3’-UTR Variants Identify Regulatory Mechanisms Impacting Alcohol Use Disorder and Related Traits

The 24,780-oligo library representing reference and alternative alleles for 13,515 candidate 3′-UTR SNPs was assayed in SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells across six independent transfections. Matched plasmid DNA and poly(A) RNA/cDNA UMI counts were used to quantify allele-specific 3′-UTR reporter activity.

Perturbation & assay details

Basal / Untreated

PASSPORT-seq used an episomal pIS-0 luciferase reporter. Agilent oligos contained 25 bp upstream and downstream of each reference or alternative allele plus vector-specific assembly sequences; the library contained 24,780 oligos for 13,515 SNPs. Six independent SH-SY5Y transfections were harvested at 42 h for matched DNA and poly(A) RNA extraction. Reporter-specific reverse transcription added an Illumina adapter, a staggered 9–12 nt barcode, and a 10 nt UMI; DNA and cDNA libraries were indexed by transfection and sequenced as 121 nt single-end reads on an Illumina NovaSeq SP lane. Reads were demultiplexed and trimmed, UMIs were used to count unique reads mapped to the 51 nt allele inserts, and edgeR plus a generalized linear mixed model estimated the allele × DNA/cDNA interaction effect (β12).

Quality control

The authors demultiplexed FASTQ files by transfection barcode, trimmed barcode/UMI/primer sequences, mapped the 51 nt insert to reference and alternative oligos, and discarded reads with mismatches or duplicated UMIs (approximately 20% of reads). edgeR generalized linear modeling and an allele × sample-type generalized linear mixed model were used for activity and variant effects, with Benjamini–Hochberg FDR < 0.05 as the paper's significance threshold. Package QC retained 12,173 of 13,515 SH-SY5Y rows: the published SH effect, p-value, and FDR had to be finite with p/FDR in [0,1], and aggregate REF and ALT DNA and RNA UMI counts had to be nonzero across the six biological replicates. The table therefore excludes 1,342 unmodeled or zero-coverage rows while retaining non-significant modeled variants.

Curation notes

The SH-SY5Y line was resolved to Cellosaurus CVCL:0019 (ATCC CRL-2266). The processed table is a variant-level integration of the GEO UMI counts and Supplementary Table 3; it is aligned by rsID and REF/ALT allele pair. The gene token in an oligo_id is retained separately because it differs from the S3 annotated gene for some records. Raw FASTQ reads and the actual oligo sequences were not included because the public MPRA data release provides the UMI count matrix and published variant-level results.
