Lipid-filled adipocytes are incompatible with droplet-based single-cell methods, such as 10x Genomics-based technology, thus restricting droplet-based single-cell analyses of adipose tissues to the stromal vascular fraction. To overcome this limitation and obtain cellular and molecular insight into adipose tissue composition and plasticity, single-nucleus sequencing-based technologies can be applied. Here, we provide an optimized protocol for nuclei isolation from mouse adipose tissues suitable for single-nucleus RNA sequencing. This allows for transcriptomic profiling of the entire adipose tissue at single-cell resolution. For complete details on the use of this protocol, please refer to Sárvári et al., 2021.
富含脂滴的脂肪细胞与基于液滴的单细胞方法(如 10x Genomics 技术)不兼容,因此限制了基于液滴的单细胞分析应用于脂肪组织的基质血管部分。为了克服这一限制,并深入了解脂肪组织的组成和可塑性,可应用基于单个核测序的技术。在这里,我们提供了一种从小鼠脂肪组织中分离核的优化方案,该方案适用于单细胞 RNA 测序。这使得能够以单细胞分辨率对整个脂肪组织进行转录组分析。如需详细了解本方案的使用方法,请参考 Sárvári 等人,2021 年。
