1 Introduction

Decoding the properties of immune receptor repertoires (IRRs) is key to understanding how our adaptive immune system responds to challenges, such as viral infection or cancer. One important quantitative property of IRRs is their immunoglobulin (Ig) gene usage, i.e. how often are the differnt Igs that make up the immune receptors used in a given IRR. Furthermore, we may ask: is there differential gene usage (DGU) between IRRs from different biological conditions (e.g. healthy vs tumor).

Both of these questions can be answered quantitatively by are answered by IgGeneUsage.

2 Input

The main input of IgGeneUsage is a data.frame that has the following columns:

  1. individual_id: name of the repertoire (e.g. Patient-1)
  2. condition: name of the condition to which each repertoire belongs (healthy, tumor_A, tumor_B, …)
  3. gene_name: gene name (e.g. IGHV1-10 or family TRVB1)
  4. gene_usage_count: numeric (count) of usage related in individual x gene x condition specified in columns 1-3
  5. [optional] repertoire: character/numeric identifier that tags the different biological replicates if they are available for a specific individual

3 Model

IgGeneUsage transforms the input data as follows.

First, given \(R\) repertoires with \(G\) genes each, IgGeneUsage generates a gene usage matrix \(Y^{R \times G}\). Row sums in \(Y\) define the total usage (\(N\)) in each repertoire.

Second, for the analysis of DGU between biological conditions, we use a Bayesian model (\(M\)) for zero-inflated beta-binomial regression. Empirically, we know that Ig gene usage data can be noisy also not exhaustive, i.e. some Ig genes that are systematically rearranged at low probability might not be sampled, and certain Ig genes are not encoded (or dysfunctional) in some individuals. \(M\) can fit over-dispersed and zero-inflated Ig gene usage data.

In the output of IgGeneUsage, we report the mean effect size (es or \(\gamma\)) and its 95% highest density interval (HDI). Genes with \(\gamma \neq 0\) (e.g. if 95% HDI of \(\gamma\) excludes 0) are most likely to experience differential usage. Additionally, we report the probability of differential gene usage (\(\pi\)): \[\begin{align} \pi = 2 \cdot \max\left(\int_{\gamma = -\infty}^{0} p(\gamma)\mathrm{d}\gamma, \int_{\gamma = 0}^{\infty} p(\gamma)\mathrm{d}\gamma\right) - 1 \end{align}\] with \(\pi = 1\) for genes with strong differential usage, and \(\pi = 0\) for genes with negligible differential gene usage. Both metrics are computed based on the posterior distribution of \(\gamma\), and are thus related.

4 Case Study A: analyzing IRRs

IgGeneUsage has a couple of built-in Ig gene usage datasets. Some were obtained from studies and others were simulated.

Lets look into the simulated dataset d_zibb_3. This dataset was generated by a zero-inflated beta-binomial (ZIBB) model, and IgGeneUsage was designed to fit ZIBB-distributed data.

data("d_zibb_3", package = "IgGeneUsage")
knitr::kable(head(d_zibb_3))
individual_id gene_name gene_usage_count condition
I_1 G_1 29 C_1
I_1 G_2 135 C_1
I_1 G_3 6 C_1
I_1 G_4 52 C_1
I_1 G_5 68 C_1
I_1 G_6 41 C_1

We can also visualize d_zibb_3 with ggplot:

ggplot(data = d_zibb_3)+
  geom_point(aes(x = gene_name, y = gene_usage_count, col = condition),
             position = position_dodge(width = .7), shape = 21)+
  theme_bw(base_size = 11)+
  ylab(label = "Gene usage [count]")+
  xlab(label = '')+
  theme(legend.position = "top")+
  theme(axis.text.x = element_text(angle = 90, hjust = 1, vjust = 0.4))

4.1 DGU analysis

As main input IgGeneUsage uses a data.frame formatted as e.g. d_zibb_3. Other input parameters allow you to configure specific settings of the rstan sampler.

In this example, we analyze d_zibb_3 with 3 MCMC chains, 1500 iterations each including 500 warm-ups using a single CPU core (Hint: for parallel chain execution set parameter mcmc_cores = 3). We report for each model parameter its mean and 95% highest density interval (HDIs).

Important remark: you should run DGU analyses using default IgGeneUsage parameters. If warnings or errors are reported with regard to the MCMC sampling, please consult the Stan manual1 https://mc-stan.org/misc/warnings.html and adjust the inputs accordingly. If the warnings persist, please submit an issue with a reproducible script at the Bioconductor support site or on Github2 https://github.com/snaketron/IgGeneUsage/issues.

      • Rhat < 1.05
      • high Neff
    • Minimal checklist for valid model:
      • posterior predictive checks (PPCs): is model consistent with reality, i.e. is there overlap between simulated and observed data?
      • leave-one-out analysis

4.4.1 PPCs: repertoire-specific

The model used by IgGeneUsage is generative, i.e. with the model we can generate usage of each Ig gene in a given repertoire (y-axis). Error bars show 95% HDI of mean posterior prediction. The predictions can be compared with the observed data (x-axis). For points near the diagonal \(\rightarrow\) accurate prediction.

4.4.2 PPCs: overall

Prediction of generalized gene usage within a biological condition is also possible. We show the predictions (y-axis) of the model, and compare them against the observed mean usage (x-axis). If the points are near the diagonal \(\rightarrow\) accurate prediction. Errors are 95% HDIs of the mean.

4.5 Results

Each row of glm summarizes the degree of DGU observed for specific Igs. Two metrics are reported:

  • es (also referred to as \(\gamma\)): effect size on DGU, where contrast gives the direction of the effect (e.g. tumor - healthy or healthy - tumor)
  • pmax (also referred to as \(\pi\)): probability of DGU (parameter \(\pi\) from model \(M\))

For es we also have the mean, median standard error (se), standard deviation (sd), L (low bound of 95% HDI), H (high bound of 95% HDI)

kable(x = head(M$dgu), row.names = FALSE, digits = 2)

4.5.1 DGU: differential gene usage

We know that the values of \gamma and \pi are related to each other. Lets visualize them for all genes (shown as a point). Names are shown for genes associated with \(\pi \geq 0.95\). Dashed horizontal line represents null-effect (\(\gamma = 0\)).

Notice that the gene with \(\pi \approx 1\) also has an effect size whose 95% HDI (error bar) does not overlap the null-effect. The genes with high degree of differential usage are easy to detect with this figure.

4.6 GU: gene usage summary

IgGeneUsage also reports the inferred gene usage (GU) probability of individual genes in each condition. For a given gene we report its mean GU (prob_mean) and the 95% (for instance) HDI (prob_L and prob_H).

ggplot(data = M$gu)+
  geom_errorbar(aes(x = gene_name, y = prob_mean, ymin = prob_L,
                    ymax = prob_H, col = condition),
                width = 0.1, position = position_dodge(width = 0.4))+
  geom_point(aes(x = gene_name, y = prob_mean, col = condition), size = 1,
             position = position_dodge(width = 0.4))+

5 Leave-one-out (LOO) analysis

To assert the robustness of the probability of DGU (\(\pi\)) and the effect size (\(\gamma\)), IgGeneUsage has a built-in procedure for fully Bayesian leave-one-out (LOO) analysis.

During each step of LOO, we discard the data of one of the R repertoires, and use the remaining data to analyze for DGU. In each step we record \(\pi\) and \(\gamma\) for all genes, including the mean and 95% HDI of \(\gamma\). We assert quantitatively the robustness of \(\pi\) and \(\gamma\) by evaluating their variability for a specific gene.

This analysis can be computationally demanding.

L <- LOO(ud = d_zibb_3, # input data
         mcmc_warmup = 500, # how many MCMC warm-ups per chain (default: 500)
         mcmc_steps = 1000, # how many MCMC steps per chain (default: 1,500)
         mcmc_chains = 1, # how many MCMC chain to run (default: 4)
         mcmc_cores = 1, # how many PC cores to use? (e.g. parallel chains)
         hdi_lvl = 0.95, # highest density interval level (de fault: 0.95)
         adapt_delta = 0.8, # MCMC target acceptance rate (default: 0.95)
         max_treedepth = 10) # tree depth evaluated at each step (default: 12)

L_dgu <- do.call(rbind, lapply(X = L, FUN = function(x){return(x$dgu)}))

… and plot them:

5.1 LOO-DGU: variability of effect size \(\gamma\)

  geom_hline(yintercept = 0, linetype = "dashed", col = "gray")+

  theme_bw(base_size = 11)+
  theme(legend.position = "none")+
  ylab(expression(gamma))

5.2 LOO-DGU: variability of \(\pi\)

ggplot(data = L_dgu)+
  facet_wrap(facets = ~contrast, ncol = 1)+
  geom_point(aes(x = gene_name, y = pmax, col = contrast,
                 group = loo_id), size = 1,

I_1 C_1 G_5 R_1 38
I_1 C_1 G_6 R_1 709

We can also visualize d_zibb_4 with ggplot:

ggplot(data = d_zibb_4)+
  geom_point(aes(x = gene_name, y = gene_usage_count, col = condition, 
                 shape = replicate), position = position_dodge(width = 0.8))+
  theme_bw(base_size = 11)+
  ylab(label = "Gene usage [count]")+
  xlab(label = '')+
  theme(legend.position = "top")+
  theme(axis.text.x = element_text(angle = 90, hjust = 1, vjust = 0.4))
