Integrated MPRA of LDLR intron 1 enhancer tiles in HuH7 cells

Functional interrogation of candidate cis-regulatory elements at the LDLR locus

A lentiviral MPRA library tested 74 overlapping tiles spanning an approximately 860 bp candidate enhancer interval in the first intron of human LDLR, together with three positive and three negative control sequences. HuH7 cells received five independent library transductions, and reporter activity was measured two days later as barcode cDNA abundance relative to genomic DNA.

Perturbation & assay details

Basal / Untreated

The library was assembled in the pLS-SceI reporter backbone with a random 15 bp 5' UTR barcode, packaged as lentivirus, and transduced at an estimated MOI of 5. The library contained overlapping 172, 129, 86, and 43 bp tiles plus three positive and three negative controls; HuH7 cells were harvested two days after transduction for genomic DNA and RNA. Barcode counts were normalized to counts per million, aggregated by construct, and summarized as the mean cDNA/gDNA ratio for five independent transductions, normalized to the average negative-control activity.

Inclusive hg38 end coordinate reported in the MPRA library design; blank for controls.
sequence
Test or control DNA sequence used in the MPRA library.
sequence_length
Length of the test or control sequence in base pairs.
variant_context
Variant annotation reported for the construct (rs59281581 where present, none otherwise, or control_sequence for controls).

pass; construct is present in the authors' post-QC expression analysis with complete replicate measurements.

Quality control

The authors filtered barcode-to-construct associations to retain combinations with at least 10 reads and barcodes with at least 99% of reads assigned to one construct; expression barcodes with fewer than 10 counts across all samples were removed. The processed table retains the 69 detected candidate tiles plus three positive and three negative controls present in S9 Table, with complete five-replicate values. Expected Tile-4, Tile-5, Tile-22, Tile-23, and Tile-41 were absent from the plasmid pool and are excluded.

Curation notes

This is the HuH7 arm of the same integrated lentiMPRA library also tested in HepG2. The test sequences are region-focused and use the population-major allele design reported by the authors, including the common insertion rs59281581 that is absent from the hg38 reference; this is not an allele-contrast MPRA. Controls are retained to make the authors' negative-control normalization and positive-control behavior directly inspectable.
