Summary (written by the submitters)
Immune dysfunction is increasingly implicated in bipolar disorder (BD), yet its mechanistic basis remains unclear. To address this, we profile and integrate 833 genome-wide ChIP-seq datasets of five histone modifications from peripheral blood immune cells of 180 individuals (88 type I BD patients, 92 controls), with whole-genome sequencing data and clinical records.

We annotate 450k candidate cis-regulatory elements (CREs) based on ChIP-seq peaks and identify BD-associated differential CREs (dCREs), revealing down-regulated adaptive and up-regulated innate immune response signatures. We next map histone quantitative trait loci (QTLs) and identify genetically driven CREs (gCREs) associated with BD genetic variants, which linked to genes involved in calcium signaling and endoplasmic reticulum transport, pathways essential in both immune and neuronal function. Integrating dCREs, gCREs, and CRE-gene links, we prioritize 39 candidate driver genes in circulating immune cells, including ORMDL3, a pivotal gene associated with inflammation in asthma and ulcerative colitis. Most of these genes are associated with BD variants via blood-specific eQTLs absent in brain cells, suggesting peripheral immune-specific regulatory mechanisms. We further stratify BD patients into five epigenomic subtypes with distinct clinical features, including inflammation, glucose intolerance, and hypertension. Immune-partitioned polygenic risk scores predict these subtypes, supporting a genetic basis for immuno-epigenomic heterogeneity. Finally, we identify hundreds of drugs/compounds whose perturbation signatures counter BD-associated immune dysfunction, including drugs with known effects on the nervous system, cancers, and the cardiovascular system, offering repurposing opportunities tailored to BD patients based on inflammatory signatures. Our findings reveal a potential causal role for circulating immune cells in BD and highlight how our integrative approaches can uncover immune mechanisms and empower precision medicine in complex, non-canonical immune diseases, such as BD.

Download · which file do I need?

Direct links to NCBI and ENA, no account and no request form. Pick by what you want to do: take the small processed table to look, the supplementary files to re-analyse, or the original raw data to start over.

1 · Just have a look

Processed table

The series matrix: one table of values per sample as the submitters processed it. The smallest download, and it opens in Excel or R. Start here to see what the data look like.

2 · Re-analyse it

Supplementary files

The count tables and other files the authors uploaded. Take only the samples you need, or the whole study as GSE316497_RAW.tar (it can run to tens of gigabytes).

3 · Start from the raw reads

Raw sequencing reads

The original FASTQ files, straight from the sequencer, held at ENA. Large, and you align them yourself, so only choose this if you need to re-process the study from scratch.

What the files usually look like: Look for peak files (.bed, .narrowPeak) and signal tracks (.bigWig) among the supplementary files; the raw reads are on ENA.

Also filed as BioProject PRJNA1400219 and SRA study SRP660884. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.
