Project description:We introduced a single-cell proteome microfluidic platform, integrating cell capture, lysis, protein reduction, alkylation and online digestion. The online enzymolysis facilitated the fast, efficient and all-in-one proteomic sample preparation, providing wide dynamic range and enhanced coverage of proteins.

Project description:Single-cell whole-transcriptome analysis is a powerful tool for quantifying gene expression heterogeneity in populations of cells. Many techniques have, thus, been recently developed to perform transcriptome sequencing (RNA-Seq) on individual cells. To probe subtle biological variation between samples with limiting amounts of RNA, more precise and sensitive methods are still required. We adapted a previously developed strategy for single-cell RNA-Seq that has shown promise for superior sensitivity and implemented the chemistry in a microfluidic platform for single-cell whole transcriptome analysis. In this approach, single cells are captured and lysed in a microfluidic device, where mRNAs with poly(A) tails are reverse-transcribed into cDNA. Double-stranded cDNA is then collected and sequenced using a next-generation sequencing platform. We prepared 94 libraries consisting of single mouse embryonic cells and technical replicates of extracted RNA and thoroughly characterized the performance of this technology. Microfluidic implementation increased mRNA detection sensitivity as well as improved measurement precision compared with tube-based protocols. With 0.2M reads per cell, we were able to reconstruct a majority of the bulk transcriptome with 10 single cells. We also quantified variation between and within different types of mouse embryonic cells and found that enhanced measurement precision, detection sensitivity, and experimental throughput aided the distinction between biological variability and technical noise. With this work, we validated the advantages of an early approach to single-cell RNA-Seq and showed that the benefits of combining microfluidic technology with high-throughput sequencing will be valuable for large-scale efforts in single-cell transcriptome analysis. We investigated gene expression in mouse embryonic cells using microfluidic-facilitated RNA-Seq to analyze 56 single mouse ES cell (mESC) transcriptomes and 6 single mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEF) transcriptomes. To quantitatively evaluate the sensitivity and precision of our technique, we also sequenced 23 libraries from extracted mESC RNA, representing three sets of technical replicates with varying starting amounts of material.

Project description:Saccharomyces cerevisiae wildtype (YPH) and ung1-deleted strains were cultivated in mutation accumulation experiments over several bottlenecks (0-50-100-150). Two different cutlure systems were used either (i) using random colony selection and plating on petri dish (classical); or (ii) a microfluidic-based system (microfluidic)

Project description:Exosomes, reflecting the live cellular state, hold promise for non-invasive disease detection. However, the significance of exosome cargos has been underestimated, particularly in the clinic, mainly due to the scarcity of exosome. Here, we present a "one-step" high-throughput microfluidic platform integrating exosome capture, in situ lysis, and protein biomarker detection, which was further designed for epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) detection in a prospective cohort with 2–8 μL of serum samples. Through proteomic analysis of exosomes from patients' serum, combined with cell lines, we identified total 1818 differential expressed protein (DEP) and determined DEPs to develop the EOC detection microfluidic platform via multi-step screening. Based on the results of the platform's examination of the prospective cohort, an EOC detection model (P9) was developed and validated, whose specificities reached 98.8% (95% CI, 93.6%–99.8%) in the training set and 100.0% (95% CI, 91.6%–100.0%) in the validation set. The combination of P9 and CA125 exhibited 100.0% specificity in both training and validation sets, indicating a promising non-invasive modality for EOC detection that could reduce the risks associated with false-positive results. Our study also suggests that this high-throughput microfluidic platform can be customized to target a variety of exosome cargos for diverse clinical applications.

Project description:Tissues are composed of highly heterogeneous mixtures of cell subtypes, and this diversity is increasingly being characterized using high-throughput single cell analysis methods. However, these efforts are hindered by the fact that tissues must first be dissociated into single cell suspensions that are viable and still accurately represent phenotypes from the original tissue. Current methods for breaking down tissues are inefficient, labor-intensive, subject to high variability, and potentially biased towards cell subtypes that are easier to release. Here, we present a microfluidic platform consisting of three different tissue processing technologies that can perform the complete tissue to single cell workflow, including digestion, disaggregation, and filtration. First, we developed a new microfluidic digestion device that can be loaded with minced tissue specimens quickly and easily, and then use the combination of proteolytic enzyme activity and fluid shear forces to accelerate tissue breakdown. Next, we integrated dissociation and filter technologies into a single device, which enhanced single cell numbers and fully prepared the sample for single cell analysis. The final multi-device platform was then evaluated using a diverse array of tissue types that exhibited a wide range of properties. For murine kidney and mammary tumor, we found that microfluidic processing produced 2.5-fold more single, viable cells. Single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) further revealed that device processing enriched for endothelial cells, fibroblasts, and basal epithelium, and did not increase stress responses. For murine liver and heart, which are softer tissues containing fragile cell types, processing time could be reduced to 15 min, and even as short as 1 min. We also demonstrated that periodic recovery at defined time intervals produced substantially more hepatocytes and cardiomyocytes than continuous operation, most likely by preventing damage to fragile cell types. In future work, we will seek to integrate additional operations such as upstream tissue preparation and downstream microfluidic cell sorting and detection to create powerful point-of-care single cell diagnostic platforms.

Project description:Microfluidic devices provide a low-input and efficient platform for single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-Seq). Here we present microfluidic diffusion-based RNA-seq (MID-RNA-seq) for conducting scRNA-seq with a diffusion-based reagent swapping scheme. This device incorporates cell trapping, lysis, reverse transcription and PCR amplification all in one microfluidic chamber. MID-RNA-Seq provides high data quality that is comparable to existing scRNA-seq methods while implementing a simple device design that permits multiplexing. The robustness and scalability of MID-RNA-Seq device will be important for transcriptomic studies of scarce cell samples.
