FACS protocol for direct comparison of cell populations isolated from mice.

ABSTRACT: A FACS protocol is described that eliminates isolation and staining artifacts to allow accurate comparison between cell populations isolated from organs obtained from disparate mouse groups. This protocol was validated by characterizing the estrogen receptor positive cells within the mammary gland of transgenic mice with different genotypes at different stages of the estrous cycle. We include protocols necessary to batch stage animals within the cycle to proceed directly to FACS, which provides optimal RNA yields for RNA-seq. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Ludwik et al. (2020).

Comparison of FACS-isolated mammary epithelial populations (CD49f/CD61)

Project description:To validate the CD49f/CD61 flow cytometry panel for resolving the three major mammary epithelial lineages, mammary epithelial cells from MMTV-Cre mice were collected by FACS and analyzed by RNA-seq for comparison to previously published single-cell RNA-seq studies, which non-biasedly identified the three major lineages: basal, alveolar progenitor (AP), and hormone-sensing luminal (HSL) cells.

FACS-Based Proteomics Enables Profiling of Proteins in Rare Cell Populations.

Project description:Understanding disease pathology often does not require an overall proteomic analysis of clinical samples but rather the analysis of different, often rare, subpopulations of cells in a heterogeneous mixture of cell types. For the isolation of pre-specified cellular subtypes, fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS) is commonly used for its ability to isolate the required cell populations with high purity, even of scarce cell types. The proteomic analysis of a limited number of FACS-sorted cells, however, is very challenging as both sample preparation inefficiencies and limits in terms of instrument sensitivity are present. In this study, we used CD14+CD15+ immune cells sorted out of peripheral blood mononuclear cells isolated from whole blood to improve and evaluate FACS-based proteomics. To optimize both the protein extraction protocol and the mass spectrometry (MS) data acquisition method, PBMCs as well as commercialized HeLa digest were used. To reflect the limited number of sorted cells in some clinical samples, different numbers of sorted cells (1000, 5000, 10,000, or 50,000) were used. This allowed comparing protein profiles across samples with limited protein material and provided further insights in the benefits and limitations of using a very limited numbers of cells.

Improving the characterization of endothelial progenitor cell subsets by an optimized FACS protocol.

Project description:The characterization of circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) is fundamental to any study related to angiogenesis. Unfortunately, current literature lacks consistency in the definition of EPC subsets due to variations in isolation strategies and inconsistencies in the use of lineage markers. Here we address critical points in the identification of hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs), circulating endothelial cells (CECs), and culture-generated outgrowth endothelial cells (OECs) from blood samples of healthy adults (AB) and umbilical cord (UCB). Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were enriched using a Ficoll-based gradient followed by an optimized staining and gating strategy to enrich for the target cells. Sorted EPC populations were subjected to RT-PCR for tracing the expression of markers beyond the limits of cell surface-based immunophenotyping. Using CD34, CD133 and c-kit staining, combined with FSC and SSC, we succeeded in the accurate and reproducible identification of four HPC subgroups and found significant differences in the respective populations in AB vs. UCB. Co-expression analysis of endothelial markers on HPCs revealed a complex pattern characterized by various subpopulations. CECs were identified by using CD34, KDR, CD45, and additional endothelial markers, and were subdivided according to their apoptotic state and expression of c-kit. Comparison of UCB-CECs vs. AB-CECs revealed significant differences in CD34 and KDR levels. OECs were grown from PBMC-fractions We found that viable c-kit+ CECs are a candidate circulating precursor for CECs. RT-PCR to angiogenic factors and receptors revealed that all EPC subsets expressed angiogenesis-related molecules. Taken together, the improvements in immunophenotyping and gating strategies resulted in accurate identification and comparison of better defined cell populations in a single procedure.

FACS-Mediated Isolation of Neuronal Cell Populations From Virus-Infected Human Embryonic Stem Cell-Derived Cerebral Organoid Cultures.

Project description:Organoids-or pluripotent stem cell-derived in vitro-grown simplified mini organs-have become a tremendously important model to study human organ development and disease. To restrict the noise inherent to the heterogeneous cell mixtures derived from organoid cultures, we developed a new technique of fluorescence-assisted cell sorting (FACS) of virus-infected cerebral organoid cultures. This method still includes the advantage of growing cells in a more natural environment than traditional cell culture, but now renders samples suitable for downstream cell type-specific multi-omics analyses. The protocol starts from stem cell-derived mature brain organoids and includes steps for: preparing the culture for viral infection, production of the viral stocks, FACS sample preparation, and gating and sorting implementation. The protocol has been developed for Zika virus infection, but can be extrapolated to other viruses or fluorescent marker expression as illustrated in an alternate protocol using a single-cycle lentivirus expressing a fluorescent reporter protein. © 2018 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Transcriptional landscape of epithelial and immune cell populations revealed through FACS-seq of healthy human skin.

Project description:Human skin consists of multiple cell types, including epithelial, immune, and stromal cells. Transcriptomic analyses have previously been performed from bulk skin samples or from epithelial and immune cells expanded in cell culture. However, transcriptomic analysis of bulk skin tends to drown out expression signals from relatively rare cells while cell culture methods may significantly alter cellular phenotypes and gene expression profiles. To identify distinct transcriptomic profiles of multiple cell populations without substantially altering cell phenotypes, we employed a fluorescence activated cell sorting method to isolate keratinocytes, dendritic cells, CD4+ T effector cells, and CD8+ T effector cells from healthy skin samples, followed by RNA-seq of each cell population. Principal components analysis revealed distinct clustering of cell types across samples, while differential expression and coexpression network analyses revealed transcriptional profiles of individual cell populations distinct from bulk skin, most strikingly in the least abundant CD8+ T effector population. Our work provides a high resolution view of cutaneous cellular gene expression and suggests that transcriptomic profiling of bulk skin may inadequately capture the contribution of less abundant cell types.

Intranuclear immunostaining-based FACS protocol from embryonic cortical tissue.

Project description:Cell sorting can be used to purify cell populations for cell type-specific molecular probing. Fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) coupled with high-throughput sequencing affords molecular signature identification for specific cell types. FACS has many challenges that limit comprehensive cell purification from the brain, leading to incomplete molecular characterization. Here, we present the intranuclear immunostaining-based FACS protocol with several modified steps, which allows optimized nuclei/cell sorting from mouse or human embryonic cortical tissue for distinct downstream molecular investigation of basal intermediate progenitors.

Proteomics of FACS-sorted heterogeneous Corynebacterium glutamicum populations

Project description:The metabolic status of individual cells in microbial cultures can differ being relevant for biotechnology, environmental and medical microbiology. However, it is hardly understood in molecular detail due to limitations of current analytical tools. Here, we demonstrate that FACS in combination with proteomics can be used to sort and analyze cell populations based on their metabolic state. A previously established GFP reporter system was used to detect and sort single Corynebacterium glutamicum cells based on the concentration of branched chain amino acids (BCAA) using FACS. A proteomics workflow optimized for small cell numbers was used to quantitatively compare proteomes of a ?aceE mutant, lacking functional pyruvate dehydrogenase (PD), and the wild type. About 800 proteins could be quantified from 1,000,000 cells. In the ?aceE mutant BCAA production was coordinated with upregulation of the glyoxylate cycle and TCA cycle to counter the lack of acetyl CoA resulting from the deletion of aceE.
