A facile single-cell patterning (ScP) method was developed and integrated with time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS) for the study of drug-induced cellular phenotypic alterations. Micropatterned poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) stencil film and centrifugation-assisted cell trapping were combined for the preparation of on-surface single-cell microarrays, which exhibited both high site occupancy (>90%) and single-cell resolution (>97%). TOF-SIMS is a surface-sensitive mass spectrometry and is increasingly utilized in biological studies. Here we demonstrated, for the first time, its successful application in high-throughput single-cell analysis. Drug-induced phenotypic alterations of HeLa cells in the early stage of apoptosis were investigated using TOF-SIMS. The major molecular sources of variations were analyzed by principle component analysis (PCA).
开发了一种简便的单细胞图案化(ScP)方法,并将其与飞行时间二次离子质谱(TOF-SIMS)集成,用于研究药物诱导的细胞表型改变。微图案化聚二甲基硅氧烷(PDMS)掩模薄膜和离心辅助细胞捕获相结合,用于制备表面上单细胞微阵列,其表现出高的位点占有率(>90%)和单细胞分辨率(>97%)。TOF-SIMS 是一种表面敏感的质谱分析技术,在生物学研究中越来越多地得到应用。在这里,我们首次证明了它在高通量单细胞分析中的成功应用。使用 TOF-SIMS 研究了 HeLa 细胞在早期凋亡阶段的药物诱导的表型改变。通过主成分分析(PCA)分析了变异的主要分子来源。
