Single-Cell RNA-Sequencing reveals cellular heterogeneity and traiectories of lineage specification of human primary HCC tumorspheres

ABSTRACT: We report the application of Single-Cell RNA-Sequencing technology for high-throughput profiling in human primary HCC tumorspheres. By obtaining human primary HCC cells isolated from tumor tissues of PDX mice, we proceeded sphere-forming culture and then performed Single-Cell RNA-Sequencing of human primary HCC cells. The scRNA-Seq libraries were prepared with Single Cell 3′ Reagent Kit v2 (10×Genomics) following the user guide provided. We found that SCARB2 positive cells accounted about 11.3% of total tumorspheres and were enriched with MYC target genes. We conclude that Single-Cell RNA-Sequencing would expedite genetic network analyses and permit the dissection of complex biologic functions.
