Photocleavable DNA barcode-antibody conjugates allow sensitive and multiplexed protein analysis in single cells.

ABSTRACT: DNA barcoding is an attractive technology, as it allows sensitive and multiplexed target analysis. However, DNA barcoding of cellular proteins remains challenging, primarily because barcode amplification and readout techniques are often incompatible with the cellular microenvironment. Here we describe the development and validation of a photocleavable DNA barcode-antibody conjugate method for rapid, quantitative, and multiplexed detection of proteins in single live cells. Following target binding, this method allows DNA barcodes to be photoreleased in solution, enabling easy isolation, amplification, and readout. As a proof of principle, we demonstrate sensitive and multiplexed detection of protein biomarkers in a variety of cancer cells.

Single-Cell, Multiplexed Protein Detection of Rare Tumor Cells Based on a Beads-on-Barcode Antibody Microarray.

Project description:Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) shed from tumor sites and represent the molecular characteristics of the tumor. Besides genetic and transcriptional characterization, it is important to profile a panel of proteins with single-cell precision for resolving CTCs' phenotype, organ-of-origin, and drug targets. We describe a new technology that enables profiling multiple protein markers of extraordinarily rare tumor cells at the single-cell level. This technology integrates a microchip consisting of 15000 60 pL-sized microwells and a novel beads-on-barcode antibody microarray (BOBarray). The BOBarray allows for multiplexed protein detection by assigning two independent identifiers (bead size and fluorescent color) of the beads to each protein. Four bead sizes (1.75, 3, 4.5, and 6 ?m) and three colors (blue, green, and yellow) are utilized to encode up to 12 different proteins. The miniaturized BOBarray can fit an array of 60 pL-sized microwells that isolate single cells for cell lysis and the subsequent detection of protein markers. An enclosed 60 pL-sized microchamber defines a high concentration of proteins released from lysed single cells, leading to single-cell resolution of protein detection. The protein markers assayed in this study include organ-specific markers and drug targets that help to characterize the organ-of-origin and drug targets of isolated rare tumor cells from blood samples. This new approach enables handling a very small number of cells and achieves single-cell, multiplexed protein detection without loss of rare but clinically important tumor cells.

Multiplexed transcriptome discovery of RNA-binding protein binding sites by antibody-barcode eCLIP.

Project description:Ultraviolet crosslinking and immunoprecipitation (CLIP) methodologies enable the identification of RNA binding sites of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs). Despite improvements in the library preparation of RNA fragments, the enhanced CLIP (eCLIP) protocol requires 4 days of hands-on time and lacks the ability to process several RBPs in parallel. We present a new method termed antibody-barcode eCLIP that utilizes DNA-barcoded antibodies and proximity ligation of the DNA oligonucleotides to RBP-protected RNA fragments to interrogate several RBPs simultaneously. We observe performance comparable with that of eCLIP with the advantage of dramatically increased scaling while maintaining the same material requirement of a single eCLIP experiment.

Multiplexed transcriptome discovery of RNA binding protein binding sites by antibody-barcode eCLIP

Project description:UV cross-linking and immunoprecipitation (CLIP) methodologies enable the identification of RNA binding sites of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs). Despite improvements in the library preparation of RNA fragments, the current enhanced CLIP (eCLIP) protocol still requires ~4 days of hands-on time and lacks the ability to scale. We present a new method termed antibody barcode CLIP (ABC) that utilizes DNA-barcoded antibodies to multiplex CLIP detection methods. We demonstrate the scalability and simplicity of ABC by performing CLIP on multiple RBPs simultaneously, minimizing sample-to-sample variation, and maintaining the same material requirement for a single eCLIP experiment.

Site-specific DNA-antibody conjugates for specific and sensitive immuno-PCR.

Project description:Antibody conjugates are widely used as diagnostics and imaging reagents. However, many such conjugates suffer losses in sensitivity and specificity due to nonspecific labeling techniques. We have developed methodology to site-specifically conjugate oligonucleotides to antibodies containing a genetically encoded unnatural amino acid with orthogonal chemical reactivity. These oligobody molecules were used in immuno-PCR assays to detect Her2(+) cells with greater sensitivity and specificity than nonspecifically coupled fragments, and can detect extremely rare Her2(+) cells in a complex cellular environment. Such designed antibody-oligonucleotide conjugates should provide sensitive and specific reagents for diagnostics, as well as enable other unique applications based on oligobody building blocks.

Highly Multiplexed Single-Cell Protein Profiling with Large-Scale Convertible DNA-Antibody Barcoded Arrays.

Project description:Highly multiplexed detection of proteins secreted by single cells is always challenging. Herein, a multiplexed in situ tagging technique based on single-stranded DNA encoded microbead arrays and multicolor successive imaging for assaying single-cell secreted proteins with high throughput and high sensitivity is presented. This technology is demonstrated to be capable of increasing the multiplexity exponentially. Upon integration with polydimethylsiloxane microwells, this platform is applied to detect ten immune effector proteins from differentiated single macrophages stimulated with lipopolysaccharide. Significant heterogeneity is observed when the derived human primary macrophages are analyzed. This versatile technology is expected to open new opportunities in systems biology, immune regulation studies, signaling analysis, and molecular diagnostics.

Photocleavable peptide-oligonucleotide conjugates for protein kinase assays by MALDI-TOF MS.

Project description:Robust methods for highly parallel, quantitative analysis of cellular protein tyrosine kinase activities may provide tools critically needed to decipher oncogenic signaling, discover new targeted drugs, diagnose cancer and monitor patients. Here, we describe proof-of-principle for a novel protein kinase assay with the potential to help overcome these challenges. MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry provides an ideal tool for label-free multiplexed analysis of peptide phosphorylation, but is poorly matched to homogeneous assays and complex samples. Thus, we conjugated a common oligonucleotide tag to multiple peptide substrates, offering efficient capture from solution-phase kinase reactions by annealing to the complementary sequence tethered to PEG-passivated superparamagnetic microparticles. To enable reversible conjugation, we developed a novel bifunctional cross-linker allowing simple and efficient preparation of photocleavable peptide-oligonucleotide conjugates. After washing away contaminants and following photorelease, MALDI-TOF analysis yielded relative phosphorylation of each peptide with high sensitivity and specificity. Validating the hybridization-mediated multiplexed kinase assay, when three peptide substrate-oligonucleotide conjugates were mixed with the tyrosine kinase c-Abl and ATP, we readily observed their differential phosphorylation yet measured a common IC(50) for the Abl kinase inhibitor imatinib. This new assay enables analysis of protein kinase activities in a multiplexed format amenable to screening inhibitors against multiple kinases in parallel, an important capability for drug discovery and predictive diagnostics.

Two-color, rolling-circle amplification on antibody microarrays for sensitive, multiplexed serum-protein measurements.

Project description:The ability to conveniently and rapidly profile a diverse set of proteins has valuable applications. In a step toward further enabling such a capability, we developed the use of rolling-circle amplification (RCA) to measure the relative levels of proteins from two serum samples, labeled with biotin and digoxigenin, respectively, that have been captured on antibody microarrays. Two-color RCA produced fluorescence up to 30-fold higher than direct-labeling and indirect-detection methods using antibody microarrays prepared on both polyacrylamide-based hydrogels and nitrocellulose. Replicate RCA measurements of multiple proteins from sets of 24 serum samples were highly reproducible and accurate. In addition, RCA enabled reproducible measurements of distinct expression profiles from lower-abundance proteins that were not measurable using the other detection methods. Two-color RCA on antibody microarrays should allow the convenient acquisition of expression profiles from a great diversity of proteins for a variety of applications.

Optical Control of Antibody Activity by Using Photocleavable Bivalent Peptide-DNA Locks.

Project description:Antibody-based molecular recognition plays a central role in today's life sciences, ranging from immunoassays to molecular imaging and antibody-based therapeutics. Control over antibody activity by using external triggers such as light could further increase the specificity of antibody-based targeting. Here we present bivalent peptide-DNA ligands containing photocleavable linkers as a noncovalent approach by which to allow photoactivation of antibody activity. Light-triggered cleavage of the 3-amino-3-(2-nitrophenyl)propionic acid peptide linker converted the high-affinity bivalent peptide-DNA lock into weakly binding monovalent ligands, effectively restoring antibody targeting of cell-surface receptors. In this work, a proof of principle was provided with an anti-hemagglutinin antibody, but the molecular design of the lock is generic and applicable to any monoclonal antibody for which an epitope or mimotope of sufficient affinity is available.

Single-molecule multiplexed profiling of protein-DNA complexes using magnetic tweezers.

Project description:Epigenetics, such as the dynamic interplay between DNA methylation and demethylation, play diverse roles in critical cellular events. Enzymatic activity at CpG sites, where cytosines are methylated or demethylated, is known to be influenced by the density of CpGs, methylation states, and the flanking sequences of a CpG site. However, how the relevant enzymes are recruited to and recognize their target DNA is less clear. Moreover, although DNA-binding epigenetic enzymes are ideal targets for therapeutic intervention, these targets have been rarely exploited. Single-molecule techniques offer excellent capabilities to probe site-specific protein-DNA interactions and unravel the dynamics. Here, we develop a single-molecule approach that allows multiplexed profiling of protein-DNA complexes using magnetic tweezers. When a DNA hairpin with multiple binding sites is unzipping, strand separation pauses at the positions bound by a protein. We can thus measure site-specific binding probabilities and dissociation time directly. Taking the TET1 CXXC domain as an example, we show that TET1 CXXC binds multiple CpG motifs with various flanking nucleotides or different methylation patterns in an AT-rich DNA. We are able to establish for the first time, at nanometer resolution, that TET1 CXXC prefers G/C flanked CpG motif over C/G, A/T, or T/A flanked ones. CpG methylation strengthens TET1 CXXC recruitment but has little effect on dissociation time. Finally, we demonstrate that TET1 CXXC can distinguish five CpG clusters in a CpG island with crowded binding motifs. We anticipate that the feasibility of single-molecule multiplexed profiling assays will contribute to the understanding of protein-DNA interactions.

CEL-Seq2: sensitive highly-multiplexed single-cell RNA-Seq.

Project description:Single-cell transcriptomics requires a method that is sensitive, accurate, and reproducible. Here, we present CEL-Seq2, a modified version of our CEL-Seq method, with threefold higher sensitivity, lower costs, and less hands-on time. We implemented CEL-Seq2 on Fluidigm's C1 system, providing its first single-cell, on-chip barcoding method, and we detected gene expression changes accompanying the progression through the cell cycle in mouse fibroblast cells. We also compare with Smart-Seq to demonstrate CEL-Seq2's increased sensitivity relative to other available methods. Collectively, the improvements make CEL-Seq2 uniquely suited to single-cell RNA-Seq analysis in terms of economics, resolution, and ease of use.
