中文摘要
机器学习有望为药物发现带来重大进展,但训练有效的模型需要大规模、控制良好的数据集,以捕捉多种化合物如何影响人类细胞。传统的扰动研究受批次效应和实验变异性的限制。组合条形码(combinatorial barcoding)方面的最新进展现在使得能够在统一的工作流程中对数千万个转录组进行分析,从而大幅降低技术噪声。我们创建了Tahoe-100M,这是一个包含超过1亿个细胞的单细胞图谱,涵盖50个人类细胞系和379种化合物。混合细胞系(Tahoe Therapeutics)以3D球体形式培养,在三个剂量下处理24小时,固定后使用Parse Biosciences GigaLab平台以约1000万个细胞为一批进行合并处理。在UG100上测序,随后进行Demuxlet分配,以前所未有的规模产生了高质量的转录组。Tahoe-100M涵盖约56,000种细胞系-药物-剂量组合,揭示了数千个剂量依赖性表达变化。按基因型分层揭示了谱系特异性和突变特异性的反应,包括在通常不被归类为BRAF依赖性的额外细胞系中出现的意料之外的Dabrafenib敏感性。细胞周期分析揭示了化合物特异性效应,例如CDK抑制剂引起的G1或G2/M期阻滞,以及微管抑制后的G2/M期积累。该图谱还助力机制性发现。例如,转录相似性映射显示,Saquinavir诱导出一种类似肾上腺素受体激动剂的程序,类似于Vilanterol和Norepinephrine,为其已知的心血管效应提供了分子层面的解释。探索性分析进一步识别出可上调MHC-I通路的化合物,突显了可能增强肿瘤免疫原性的候选物。通过以大规模合并批次处理固定细胞,我们最大限度地减少了批次效应,并实现了在整个扰动空间内的直接比较。Tahoe-100M为大规模药物反应映射确立了新的基准,并为跨人类细胞模型的AI驱动发现奠定了基础。

Machine learning promises major advances in drug discovery, but training effective models requires large, well-controlled datasets capturing how diverse compounds affect human cells. Traditional perturbation studies are limited by batch effects and experimental variability. Recent advances in combinatorial barcoding now allow tens of millions of transcriptomes to be profiled in unified workflows, greatly reducing technical noise.We created Tahoe-100M, a single cell atlas of more than 100 million cells spanning 50 human cell lines and 379 compounds. Mixed cell lines (Tahoe Therapeutics) were grown as 3D spheroids, treated for 24 hours across three doses, fixed, and processed in pooled batches of ~10 million cells using the Parse Biosciences GigaLab platform. Sequencing on the UG100 followed by Demuxlet assignment produced high quality transcriptomes at unprecedented scale.Tahoe-100M covers ~56,000 line-drug-dose combinations and reveals thousands of dose-dependent expression changes. Stratification by genotype uncovers lineage- and mutation-specific responses, including unexpected Dabrafenib sensitivity in additional cell lines not typically classified as BRAF-dependent. Cell cycle analysis exposes compound-specific effects, such as G1 or G2/M arrest by CDK inhibitors and G2/M accumulation after microtubule inhibition.The atlas also enables mechanistic discovery. For example, transcriptional similarity mapping shows that Saquinavir induces an adrenoceptor-agonist-like program, resembling Vilanterol and Norepinephrine, providing a molecular explanation for its known cardiovascular effects. Exploratory analyses further identify compounds that up-regulate MHC-I pathways, highlighting candidates that may enhance tumor immunogenicity.By processing fixed cells in massive pooled batches, we minimized batch effects and enabled direct comparison across the entire perturbation space. Tahoe-100M establishes a new benchmark for large scale drug response mapping and provides a foundation for AI-driven discovery across human cell models.
