Single-cell RNA-Sequencing of neurons labeled by retrograde FastBlue tracing (BarcodeSeq)
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Most cancers including pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) are infiltrated by PNS neurons participating in their complex tumor microenvironment. However, their cell bodies and nuclei are located in the para- and pre-vertebral PNS ganglia located far from the tumor mass itself. Thus, molecular information on healthy organ- vs. cancer-infiltrating neurons is currently lacking in any sequencing dataset of healthy or tumor tissue. To specifically identify and molecularly characterize the identity and transcriptomes of PDAC-infiltrating neurons at single cell resolution, we developed “Trace-n-seq”. This method is based on retrograd tracing of axons from target tissues to their respective ganglia, followed by individual FACS-isolation and transcriptomic analysis. We characterized >2000 sympathetic and sensory neurons that infiltrate PDAC, healthy pancreas, or other abdominal organs.
