The functions of human brains highly depend on the precise temporal regulation of gene expression, and the temporal brain transcriptome profile across lifespan has been observed. The substantial transcriptome alteration in neural disorders like autism has also been observed and is thought to be important for the pathology. While the cell type composition is known to be variable in brains, it remains unclear how it contributes to the temporal and pathological transcriptome changes in brains. Here, we applied a transcriptome deconvolution procedure to an age series RNA-seq dataset of healthy and autism samples, to quantify the contribution of cell type composition in shaping the temporal and autism pathological transcriptome in human brains. We estimated that composition change was the primary factor of both types of transcriptome changes. On the other hand, genes with substantial composition-independent expression changes were also observed in both cases. Those temporal and autism pathological composition-independent changes, many of which are related to synaptic functions, indicate the important intracellular regulatory changes in human brains in both processes.

人脑的功能高度依赖于基因表达的精确时间调控,并且已经观察到跨寿命的颞脑转录组谱。还观察到自闭症等神经疾病的大量转录组改变,并被认为对病理学很重要。尽管已知细胞类型组成在大脑中是可变的,但尚不清楚它如何导致大脑中的时间和病理转录组变化。在这里,我们将转录组反卷积程序应用于健康和自闭症样本的年龄系列RNA-seq数据集,以量化细胞类型组成在塑造人脑中颞部和自闭症病理转录组中的贡献。我们估计成分变化是两种转录组变化的主要因素。另一方面,在这两种情况下,也观察到具有大量与组成无关的表达变化的基因。这些与时间和自闭症病理组成无关的变化,其中许多与突触功能有关,表明了人类大脑在这两个过程中的重要细胞内调节变化。
