The epigenomic abnormality of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has rarely been investigated due to its strong heterogeneity. Here, we used single-cell multiomics sequencing to simultaneously analyze the DNA methylome, chromatin accessibility and transcriptome in individual tumor cells of PDAC patients. We identified normal epithelial cells in the tumor lesion, which have euploid genomes, normal patterns of DNA methylation, and chromatin accessibility. Using all these normal epithelial cells as controls, we determined that DNA demethylation in the cancer genome was strongly enriched in heterochromatin regions but depleted in euchromatin regions. There were stronger negative correlations between RNA expression and promoter DNA methylation in cancer cells compared to those in normal epithelial cells. Through in-depth integrated analyses, a set of novel candidate biomarkers were identified, including ZNF667 and ZNF667-AS1, whose expressions were linked to a better prognosis for PDAC patients by affecting the proliferation of cancer cells. Our work systematically revealed the critical epigenomic features of cancer cells in PDAC patients at the single-cell level.

This is a list of tools and resources that we have found mentioned in this publication.


ATCC (tool)

RRID:SCR_001672

Global nonprofit biological resource center (BRC) and research organization that provides biological products, technical services and educational programs to private industry, government and academic organizations. Its mission is to acquire, authenticate, preserve, develop and distribute biological materials, information, technology, intellectual property and standards for the advancement and application of scientific knowledge. The primary purpose of ATCC is to use its resources and experience as a BRC to become the world leader in standard biological reference materials management, intellectual property resource management and translational research as applied to biomaterial development, standardization and certification. ATCC characterizes cell lines, bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoa, as well as develops and evaluates assays and techniques for validating research resources and preserving and distributing biological materials to the public and private sector research communities.

BEDTools (tool)

RRID:SCR_006646

A powerful toolset for genome arithmetic allowing one to address common genomics tasks such as finding feature overlaps and computing coverage. Bedtools allows one to intersect, merge, count, complement, and shuffle genomic intervals from multiple files in widely-used genomic file formats such as BAM, BED, GFF/GTF, VCF. While each individual tool is designed to do a relatively simple task (e.g., intersect two interval files), quite sophisticated analyses can be conducted by combining multiple bedtools operations on the UNIX command line.
