SpinDrop: a modular droplet microfluidic platform to maximise single-cell RNA sequencing information content

ABSTRACT: Droplet microfluidic methods have massively increased the throughput of single-cell RNA sequencing campaigns. The benefit of scale-up is, however, accompanied by increased background noise when processing challenging samples as well as lower overall RNA capture efficiency. These drawbacks stem from the lack of strategies to enrich for high-quality material at the moment of cell encapsulation and the lack of implementable multi-step enzymatic processes that increase RNA capture. Here we alleviate both bottlenecks by deploying fluorescence-activated droplet sorting to enrich for droplets that contain single viable cells, intact nuclei or fixed cells and use reagent addition to droplets by picoinjection to perform multi-step lysis and reverse transcription. Our methodology increases gene detection rates fivefold, while reducing background noise by up to half, depending on sample quality. We harness these unique properties to deliver a high-quality molecular atlas of mouse brain development using highly damaged input material. Our method is broadly applicable to other droplet-based workflows to deliver sensitive and accurate single-cell profiling at a reduced cost.

Elucidating the Cellular Machinery for Lipid Storage in Plants

Project description:The overarching goal of this project is to understand the underlying mechanism for packaging storage lipids into lipid droplets in plant cells. Our group has identified several proteins involved in plant lipid droplet formation, but the inventory of proteins participating in this cellular process is far from complete. To search for new players involved in lipid droplet biogenesis and to gain more insights into how these players cooperate to package storage lipids into lipid droplets, we used an affinity capture approach coupled with mass spectrometry analysis to identify interactors of known lipid droplet-related proteins. Here, we used GFP-fused Arabidopsis thaliana LDIP and SEIPIN1 as baits to pull down their interactors in Nicotiana benthamiana leaves. The proteins that co-immunoprecipitated with GFP-LDIP and GFP-SEIPIN1 were analyzed by mass spectrometry and the results are shown here in this dataset.

Single-cell RNA sequencing data for a mixed population of K562 cells and THP-1 cells, encoded with combinatorial DNA barcodes.

Project description:Microdroplet-based co-culturing assays dissect a complex multi-cellular interactions into individual cell-cell interaction events in a highly parallelized manner. To integrate single-cell sequencing approaches into such in-droplet multicellular co-culturing assays, we demonstrate a chemistry approach for encoding the identity of droplets to their belonging cells. K562 cells and THP-1 cells were encapsulated in water-in-oil droplets, where they were labeled with DNA barcodes encoding the identity of individual droplets. Then cells were released from droplets for pooled single-cell RNA sequencing. cDNA and DNA barcodes were sequenced in separate sequencing libraries. Experiments were carried out in duplicate.

Sequencing data for single cells and DNA-functionalized microbeads encapsulated in hydrogel droplets.

Project description:DNA barcodes can be used to identify single cells in a sequencing data space while optical codes can be used to track single live cells in an image data space. We have developed dual image and DNA (ID)-coding, which identifies individual single cells in both live image and sequencing data spaces. Samples provided here are relevant to proof-of-concept studies of ID-coding presented in the associated publication. DNA barcoded micro-particles were encapsulated in hydrogel droplets with or without single cells. The hydrogel droplets were then subjected to “single-droplet sequencing” where whole polyA-bearing nucleic acid components within a hydrogel droplet (i.e. mRNA from cells and synthetic DNA on beads) were concatenated by the same cell barcodes.

Ultra-high throughput single-cell RNA sequencing by combinatorial fluidic indexing

Project description:Cell atlas projects and high-throughput perturbation screens require single-cell sequencing at a scale that is challenging with current technology. To enable cost-effective single-cell sequencing for millions of individual cells, we developed “single-cell combinatorial fluidic indexing” (scifi). The scifi-RNA-seq assay combines one-step combinatorial pre-indexing of entire transcriptomes inside permeabilized cells with subsequent single-cell RNA-seq using microfluidics. Pre-indexing allows us to load multiple cells per droplet and bioinformatically demultiplex their individual expression profiles. Thereby, scifi-RNA-seq massively increases the throughput of droplet-based single-cell RNA-seq, and it provides a straightforward way of multiplexing thousands of samples in a single experiment. Compared to multi-round combinatorial indexing, scifi-RNA-seq provides an easier, faster, and more efficient workflow. In contrast to cell hashing methods, which flag and discard droplets containing more than one cell, scifi-RNA-seq resolves and retains individual transcriptomes from overloaded droplets.

Three commercial array platforms compared for DNA copy number detection with DNA isolated from FFPE tissue [Agilent]

Project description:Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) archival tissue is an important source of DNA material. The most commonly used technique to identify copy number aberrations from chromosomal DNA in tumorigenesis is array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH). Although copy number analysis using DNA from FFPE archival tissue is challenging, several research groups have reported high quality and reproducible DNA copy number results using aCGH. Aim of the present study is to compare aCGH platforms suitable for copy number analysis using FFPE derived DNA. Two dual channel aCGH platforms (Agilent and NimbleGen) and a single channel SNP based platform (Affymetrix), were evaluated using seven FFPE colon cancer samples, median absolute deviation (MAD), deflection, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and DNA input requirements were used as quality criteria. Large differences were observed in MAD values and deflection between platforms; Agilent and NimbleGen showed better MAD values (0.13 for both) compared to Affymetrix (0.22). Contrary, Affymetrix showed a better deflection of 0.94, followed by 0.71 for Agilent and 0.51 for NimbleGen. Since the deflection compensates for the MAD the Signal to Noise Ratios (SNR) were comparable; Agilent ranks first, Affymetrix second and NimbleGen third with SNRs of 3.9, 3.6 and 3.3 respectively. DNA input amounts of 40ng are sufficient for high quality profiles with Affymetrix. For Agilent DNA input amounts of 50ng are sufficient for high quality profiles. For results of similar quality NimbleGen requires at least 100ng. Copy number analysis using DNA derived from FFPE archival material is feasible and shows reproducible results on high-resolution copy number platforms. Input amounts of DNA from FFPE material lower than recommended still yield high quality profiles without additional amplification steps.

The effect of background noise and its removal on the analysis of single-cell expression data

Project description:BACKGROUND: In droplet-based single-cell and single-nucleus RNA-seq experiments, not all reads associated with one cell barcode originate from the encapsulated cell. Such background noise is attributed to spillage from cell-free ambient RNA or barcode swappingevents. Here, we characterize this background noise exemplified by three single-cell RNA-seq(scRNA-seq) and two single-nucleus RNA-seq (snRNA-seq) replicates of mouse kidney cells. For each experiment, kidney cells from two mouse subspecies were pooled, allowing to identify cross-genotype contaminating molecules and estimate the levels of background noise. RESULTS: We find that background noise is highly variable across replicates and individual cells, making up on average 3-35% of the total counts (UMIs) per cell and show that this has a considerable impact on the specificity and detectability of marker genes. In search of the source of the background noise, we find that expression profiles of cell-free droplets are very similar to expression profiles of cross-genotype contamination profiles and hence that the majority of background molecules originates from ambient RNA. Finally, we use our genotype-based estimates to evaluate the performance of three methods (CellBender, DecontX, SoupX) that are designed to quantify and remove background noise. We find that CellBender provides the most precise estimates of background noise levels and also yields the highest improvement for marker gene detection. By contrast, clustering and classification of cells are fairly robust towards background noise and only small improvements can be achieved by background removal that may come at the cost of distortions in fine structure. CONCLUSION: Our findings help to better understand the extent, sources and impact of background noise in single-cell experiments and provide guidance on how to deal with it.

Micro-C XL: assaying chromosome conformation at length scales from the nucleosome to the entire genome

Project description:Structural analysis of chromosome folding in vivo has been revolutionized by Chromosome Conformation Capture (3C) and related methods, which use proximity ligation to identify chromosomal loci in physical contact. We recently described a variant 3C technique, Micro-C, in which chromatin is fragmented to mononucleosomes using micrococcal nuclease, enabling nucleosome-resolution folding maps of the genome. Here, we describe an improved Micro-C protocol using long crosslinkers, termed Micro-C XL, which exhibits greatly increased signal to noise, and provides further insight into the folding of the yeast genome. We also find that signal to noise is much improved in Micro-C XL libraries generated from relatively insoluble chromatin as opposed to soluble material, providing a simple method to physically enrich for bona-fide long-range interactions. Micro-C XL maps of the budding and fission yeast genomes reveal both short-range chromosome fiber features such as chromosomally-interacting domains (CIDs), as well as higher-order features such as clustering of centromeres and telomeres, thereby addressing the primary discrepancy between prior Micro-C data and reported 3C and Hi-C analyses. Interestingly, comparison of chromosome folding maps of S. cerevisiae and S. pombe revealed widespread qualitative similarities, yet quantitative differences, between these distantly-related species. Micro-C XL thus provides a single assay suitable for interrogation of chromosome folding at length scales from the nucleosome to the full genome.

The lipid droplet protein DHRS3 is a regulator of melanoma cell state

Project description:Lipid droplets are fat storage organelles composed of a protein envelope and a lipid rich core. Dynamic regulation of this protein envelope underlies differential lipid droplet formation and function in diverse cell types. In melanoma, the ability to form lipid droplets has been linked to tumor progression and metastasis, but it is not known whether lipid droplet proteins play a role in these phenotypes. To address this, we performed proteomic analysis of the lipid droplet envelope in melanoma. We found that proteins expressed in the lipid droplet were differentially enriched in distinct melanoma states, ranging from melanocytic to neural crest like. DHRS3, which is involved in the conversion of all-trans-retinal to all-trans-retinol, is significantly upregulated in the MITFLO/neural crest-like melanoma cell state, and markedly reduced in the MITFHI/melanocytic state. Increased DHRS3 expression is sufficient to drive the MITFHI/melanocytic cells to a more undifferentiated and invasive state. These changes are due to retinoic acid mediated regulation of melanocytic genes through the retinoid X receptors (RXR). Our data demonstrate that melanoma cell state can be regulated by expression of lipid droplet proteins which affect downstream retinoid signaling.
