Single-cell multiomics reveal divergent effects of DNMT3A- and TET2-mutant clonal hematopoiesis in inflammatory response by Wazim Mohammed Ismail, Jenna A. Fernandez, Moritz Binder, Terra L. Lasho, Minsuk Kim, Susan M. Geyer, Amelia Mazzone, Christy M. Finke, Abhishek A. Mangaonkar, Jeong-Heon Lee, Liguo Wang, Kwan Hyun Kim, Vernadette A.

Wieben, Nicholas Chia, Alexandre Gaspar-Maia, Mrinal M. Patnaik

“…Using single-cell multiomics sequencing, we identify cell-specific gene expression changes associated with DNMT3A mutations, along with significant epigenomic deregulation affecting enhancer accessibility, resulting in overexpression of interleukin-32 (IL-32), a proinflammatory cytokine that can result in inflammasome activation in monocytes and macrophages. Finally, we show with single-cell resolution that the loss of function of DNMT3A is directly associated with increased chromatin accessibility in mutant cells. …”
