Isolating and Cryo-Preserving Pig Skin Cells for Single Cell RNA Sequencing Study


ABSTRACT: The pig skin architecture and physiology are similar to these of humans. Thus, the pig model is valuable for studying skin biology and testing therapeutics for skin diseases. The single-cell RNA sequencing technology allows quantitatively analyzing cell types, cell states, signaling, and receptor-ligand interactome at single-cell resolution and at high throughput. scRNA-Seq has been used to study mouse and human skins. To maximize the use of pig skin as a model system to study skin biology, we described a robust method for isolating and cryo-preserving pig single cells for scRNA-Seq. We showed that pig skin could be efficiently dissociated into single cells with high cell viability using the Miltenyi Human Whole Skin Dissociation kit and the Miltenyi gentleMACS Dissociator. In addition, we showed that the subsequent single cells could be cryopreserved using DMSO without causing additional cell death, cell aggregation, or changes in gene expression profiles. Using the developed protocol, we were able to identify all the major skin cell types. The protocol and results from this study will be very valuable for the skin research scientific community.
