Experiment / E11C52A3DEpisomal Plasmid MPRA

TNFα-stimulated Jurkat allelic enhancer MPRA

Global discovery of lupus genetic risk variant allelic enhancer activity

The study's allele-focused MPRA library was transiently electroporated into the human Jurkat T-cell line in five independent biological replicates, followed by TNFα stimulation. Matched DNA and reporter RNA barcode counts were used to quantify enhancer activity and published allelic Student's t-test results were retained for enVars.

Perturbation & assay details

100 ng/mL TNFα for 24 h after 24 h post-electroporation recovery

The episomal pGL4.23-derived reporter placed allele-centered oligos upstream of a minimal promoter and eGFP reporter, with random 20-bp barcodes linking oligos to reporter transcripts. The source workbook contains nominally 200-bp synthesized oligo records (the allele-centered genomic insert plus cloning-flank sequence); indel records can be shorter, and forward-strand records are retained in the table. Jurkat cells were electroporated with the library in five independent replicates, recovered for 24 h, supplemented with 100 ng/mL TNFα for a further 24 h, and collected for matched DNA and RNA barcode sequencing. DESeq2 compared TNFα-condition reporter signal with plasmid control, and Student's t-tests compared normalized non-reference/reference log2 ratios for enVars.

Quality control

The authors retained oligos with at least 30 unique plasmid-associated barcodes and used five biological replicates for TNFα-treated Jurkat. DESeq2 used Benjamini–Hochberg FDR < 0.05; an enhancer allele (enAllele) additionally required FoldChange >= 1.5. Allelic testing was limited to enVars and used two-sided Student's t-tests on normalized non-reference/reference log2 ratios with BH FDR < 0.05 and a reported >=25% fold-change requirement. Package QC retained 2,929 alternate/reference rows representing 2,879 variants: both oligos had Unique_Tag >= 30, positive plasmid counts, finite published TNFα DESeq2 statistics, and finite TNFα DNA/RNA replicate counts; 217 of 3,146 possible alternate-allele pairs were excluded, including source rows with non-finite/NA TNFα DESeq2 results. Non-significant but QC-passing pairs remain in the table.

Curation notes

The processed table is one row per non-reference allele paired with its reference allele; multiallelic variants therefore have multiple rows. Reverse-complement synthesis records are excluded from the processed table but remain in raw Supplementary Data 4. The source TNFα DESeq2 sheet contains 240 rows with NA statistics; those and any pair member failing the stated barcode/result QC were excluded. The source t-test workbook only contains enVars, so blank allelic fields for other QC-passing variants indicate that no allelic test was reported, not that the MPRA measurement was absent. The Jurkat cell line is resolved to the parent/standard clone Cellosaurus CVCL:0367.
