Comprehensive single-nucleus molecular and cell profiling features for cardiac tissues across platforms [10X_snRNAseq]

ABSTRACT: Single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) enables transcriptomic profiling of complex tissues such as the heart, where dissociation into intact single cells is challenging. Among commercially available snRNA-seq platforms, 10x Genomics Chromium and Takara Bio’s ICELL8 cx represent technically distinct approaches, yet systematic comparisons in cardiac tissue are limited. Here, we benchmarked the 3′ Chromium, 5′ Chromium, and ICELL8 cx platforms using nuclei isolated from mouse and human heart tissues, including healthy donors and patients with non-ischemic cardiomyopathy. We assessed nuclei capture efficiency, library complexity, transcript detection sensitivity, RNA biotype coverage, ambient RNA contamination, and cell-type resolution. The Chromium platforms achieved higher nuclear throughput with robust capture efficiency and low ambient RNA contamination, whereas ICELL8 cx provided deeper transcriptomic coverage per nucleus, detecting a broader range of RNA biotypes, including low-abundance non-coding RNAs, albeit with lower nuclei yield. All platforms consistently resolved major cardiac cell populations. Together, these results inform selection of snRNA-seq workflows for cardiac tissue studies, highlighting trade-offs between cellular throughput and transcriptomic depth.

Comparative analysis of nuclei isolation protocols for transcriptomic profiling of brain tissue

Project description:Single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) enables gene expression analysis at the single-cell level in complex tissues like the brain. The technique's effectiveness depends on obtaining high-quality nuclei suspensions, characterized by high yield, minimal cell-type biases, low contamination, and accurate gene expression profiles. This study compares three nuclei isolation methods using mouse brain tissue: sucrose gradient centrifugation, a spin column-based method, and a machine-assisted platform. Sucrose gradient centrifugation yielded the highest nuclei recovery with minimal doublets. The machine-assisted platform produced the highest viability with the lowest mitochondrial and RNA contamination. The column-based method had the lowest nuclei yield and highest ambient RNA contamination. These findings highlight the impact of isolation techniques on snRNA-seq data quality, with implications for optimizing neuroscience research and improving the study of brain cell-type diversity and disease mechanisms at the single-nucleus level.

Performance comparison of high throughput single-cell RNA-Seq platforms in complex tissues

Project description:Single-cell transcriptomics has emerged as the preferred tool to define cell identity through the analysis of gene expression signatures. However, there are limited studies that have comprehensively compared the performance of different scRNAseq systems in complex tissues. Here, we present a systematic comparison of three well-established high throughput 3’-scRNAseq platforms: Drop-seq, 10x Chromium and BD Rhapsody; using tumours that present high cell diversity. Our experimental design includes both fresh and artificially damaged samples from the same tumours, which also provides a comparable dataset to examine their performance under challenging conditions. The performance metrics used in this study consist of gene sensitivity, mitochondrial content, reproducibility, clustering capabilities, cell type representation and ambient RNA contamination. These analyses showed that BD Rhapsody and 10x Chromium have similar but higher gene sensitivity than Drop-seq, while BD Rhapsody has the highest mitochondrial content. Interestingly, we found cell type detection biases between platforms, including a lower proportion of endothelial and myofibroblast cells in BD Rhapsody and lower gene sensitivity in granulocytes for 10x Chromium. Moreover, the source of the ambient noise was different between plate-based and droplet-based platforms. In conclusion, our reported platform differential performance should be considered for the selection of the scRNAseq method during the study experimental designs.

Ambient RNA analysis of single-nuclei RNA-Seq data from the frontal cortex of C57BL/6J mice

Project description:Contamination of ambient RNA was found in single-nuclei RNA-Seq data of mouse frontal cortex. CellBender plus subcluster cleaning selectively removed ambient RNA signature from glial cell types.

Ambient RNA analysis reveals misinterpreted and masked cell types in brain single-nuclei datasets

Project description:Ambient RNA contamination in single-cell RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) is a significant problem, but its consequences are poorly understood. Here, we show that ambient RNAs in brain single-nuclei RNA-seq can have a nuclear or extra-nuclear origin, and each origin results in a distinct gene set signature. Both ambient RNA signatures are predominantly neuronal and we find that some previously annotated neuronal cell types are distinguished by ambient RNA. Strikingly, we also detect pervasive neuronal ambient RNA contamination in all glial cell types unless glia and neurons are physically separated prior to sequencing. We demonstrate that this contamination can be removed in silico using existing tools. We also show that previous annotations of immature oligodendrocytes are likely glial cells contaminated with ambient RNAs. After ambient RNA removal, we can detect extremely rare committed oligodendrocyte progenitor cells, which were infrequently annotated in previously published adult human brain datasets. Together, these results provide an in-depth analysis of ambient RNA contamination in brain single-cell datasets.

Ambient RNA analysis of cortex-specific single-nuclei RNA-Seq (snRNA-seq) data in the sham and bilateral carotid artery stenosis (BCAS) groups

Project description:When compared with the sham group, ambient RNAs were more predominant in the BCAS group, which originated from damaged neuronal nuclei. After CellBender and subcluster cleaning treatments, detectable ambient RNA contamination could be largely reduced, and cortex-specific transcriptomic maps in the sham and BCAS groups were generated successfully. The underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms related to cortex damage and glial activation after severe cerebral hypoperfusion were further investigated at single nuclei resolution.

CoolMPS for robust sequencing of single-nuclear RNAs captured by droplet-based method

Project description:Massively-parallel single-cell and single-nucleus RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq, snRNA-seq) requires extensive sequencing to achieve proper per-cell coverage, making sequencing resources and availability of sequencers critical factors for conducting deep transcriptional profiling. CoolMPS is a novel sequencing-by-synthesis approach relying on nucleotide labeling by re-usable antibodies, but whether it is applicable to scRNA-seq, has not been tested. Here, we use a low-cost and off-the-shelf protocol to chemically convert libraries generated with the widely-used Chromium 10X technology to be sequenceable with CoolMPS. To assess the quality and performance of converted libraries, we generated a snRNA-seq dataset from the hippocampus of young and old mice. Native libraries were sequenced on an Illumina Novaseq and, after conversion, on a DNBSEQ-400RS. CoolMPS-derived results were in very high agreement with the Illumina dataset, and we demonstrate how technical variance between both technologies is significantly lower when compared to biological variance. Indeed, CoolMPS-derived data faithfully replicated key characteristics of the native library dataset, including correct estimation of ambient RNA-contamination, detection of captured cells, cell clustering, spatial marker gene expression, inter- and intra-replicate differences and gene expression changes. In conclusion, our results show that CoolMPS provides a viable alternative to standard sequencing of RNA from droplet-based libraries.

Isolated nuclei from frozen tissue are the superior source for single cell RNA-seq compared with whole cells

Project description:The isolation of intact single cells from frozen tissue is a challenge due to the mechanical and physical stress inflicted upon the cell during the freeze-thaw process. Ruptured cells release ambient RNA into the cell suspension, which can become encapsulated into droplets during droplet based single cell RNA-seq library preparation methods. The presence of ambient RNA in droplets has been suggested to impact data quality, however there have been limited reports on single cell RNA-seq data from frozen tissue. Here, we compare the results of single cell RNA-seq derived from disaggregated cells from frozen brain tissue with single nuclei RNA-seq derived from purified nuclei of identical tissue using the 10X Genomics Chromium 3’ gene expression assay. Our results indicated that presence of ambient RNA in the cell suspension resulted in single cell RNA-seq data with a 25-fold lower gene count, a 5-fold lower UMI count per cell and a 2-fold lower fraction of reads per cell compared with single nuclei RNA-seq data. Cell clustering with the single cell RNA-seq data was unable to resolve the heterogeneity of brain cell types. Our conclusion is that nuclei from frozen tissue are the superior substrate for single cell transcriptome analysis.
