Automated single-cell dispensing is incompatible with white adipose tissue (WAT) due to lipid-laden adipocytes. Single-nuclei RNA-Seq permits transcriptional profiling of all cells from WAT. Human WAT faces unique technical challenges in isolating nuclei compared to rodent tissue due to greater extra-cellular matrix content and larger lipid droplets. In this protocol, we detail how to isolate nuclei from frozen subcutaneous human WAT for single-nuclei RNA-Seq. For complete information on the generation and use of this protocol, please refer to Whytock et al. (2022)..
自动化单细胞分配技术不适用于富含脂质的脂肪细胞,因此无法用于白色脂肪组织(WAT)。单细胞 RNA 测序可对 WAT 中的所有细胞进行转录谱分析。与啮齿动物组织相比,人类 WAT 由于细胞外基质含量更高和更大的脂滴,因此在分离核方面面临独特的技术挑战。在本方案中,我们详细介绍了如何从冷冻的皮下人类 WAT 中分离细胞核用于单细胞 RNA 测序。有关此方案的生成和使用的完整信息,请参阅 Whytock 等人(2022 年)。
