Nuclear RNA purification by flow cytometry to study nuclear processes in plants.

ABSTRACT: The nature of plant tissues has continuously hampered understanding of the spatio-temporal and subcellular distribution of RNA-guided processes. Here, we describe a universal protocol based on Arabidopsis to investigate subcellular RNA distribution from virtually any plant species using flow cytometry sorting. This protocol includes all necessary control steps to assess the quality of the nuclear RNA purification. Moreover, it can be easily applied to different plant developmental stages, tissues, cell cycle phases, experimental growth conditions, and specific cell type(s). For complete information on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Bologna et al. (2018) and de Leone et al. (2020).

Purification of micronuclei from cultured cells by flow cytometry.

Project description:Micronuclei are aberrant nuclear compartments that form when chromosomes or chromosome fragments fail to incorporate into a primary nucleus during mitotic exit. Ruptures at the micronuclear envelope are associated with DNA damage and activation of immune sensing pathways. To gain insights into these processes, we have developed a method to purify ruptured micronuclei. This method paves the way toward understanding the consequences of micronuclear envelope rupture. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Mohr et al. (2021).

Purification of retinal ganglion cells using low-pressure flow cytometry.

Project description:Purified Retinal Ganglion Cells (RGCs) for in vitro study have been a valuable tool in the study of neural regeneration and in the development of therapies to treat glaucoma. Traditionally, RGCs have been isolated from early postnatal rats and mice, and more recently from human in vitro derived retinal organoids using a two-step immunopanning technique based upon the expression of Thy-1. This technique, however, limits the time periods from which RGCs can be isolated, missing the earliest born RGCs at which time the greatest stage of axon growth occurs, as well as being limited in its use with models of retinal degeneration as Thy-1 is downregulated following injury. While fluorescence associated cell sorting (FACS) in combination with new optogenetically labeled RGCs would be able to overcome this limitation, the use of traditional FACS sorters has been limited to genomic and proteomic studies, as RGCs have little to no survival post-sorting. Here we describe a new method for RGC isolation utilizing a combined immunopanning-fluorescence associated cell sorting (IP-FACS) protocol that initially depletes macrophages and photoreceptors, using immunopanning to enrich for RGCs before using low-pressure FACS to isolate these cells. We demonstrate that RGCs isolated via IP-FACS when compared to RGCs isolated via immunopanning at the same age have similar purity as measured by antibody staining and qRT-PCR; survival as measured by live dead staining; neurite outgrowth; and electrophysiological properties as measured by calcium release response to glutamate. Finally, we demonstrate the ability to isolate RGCs from early embryonic mice prior to the expression of Thy-1 using Brn3b-eGFP optogenetically labeled cells. This method provides a new approach for the isolation of RGCs for the study of early developed RGCs, the study of RGC subtypes and the isolation of RGCs for cell transplantation studies.

Monitoring of dynamic microbiological processes using real-time flow cytometry.

Project description:We describe a straightforward approach to continuously monitor a variety of highly dynamic microbiological processes in millisecond resolution with flow cytometry, using standard bench-top instrumentation. Four main experimental examples are provided, namely: (1) green fluorescent protein expression by antibiotic-stressed Escherichia coli, (2) fluorescent labeling of heat-induced membrane damage in an autochthonous freshwater bacterial community, (3) the initial growth response of late stationary E. coli cells inoculated into fresh growth media, and (4) oxidative disinfection of a mixed culture of auto-fluorescent microorganisms. These examples demonstrate the broad applicability of the method to diverse biological experiments, showing that it allows the collection of detailed, time-resolved information on complex processes.

Flow cytometry may allow microscope-independent detection of holocentric chromosomes in plants.

Project description:Two chromosomal structures, known as monocentric and holocentric chromosomes, have evolved in eukaryotes. Acentric fragments of monocentric chromosomes are unequally distributed to daughter cells and/or lost, while holocentric fragments are inherited normally. In monocentric species, unequal distribution should generate chimeras of cells with different nuclear DNA content. We investigated whether such differences in monocentric species are detectable by flow cytometry (FCM) as (i) a decreased nuclear DNA content and (ii) an increased coefficient of variance (CV) of the G1 peak after gamma radiation-induced fragmentation. We compared 13 monocentric and 9 holocentric plant species. Unexpectedly, monocentrics and holocentrics did not differ with respect to parameters (i) and (ii) in their response to gamma irradiation. However, we found that the proportion of G2 nuclei was highly elevated in monocentrics after irradiation, while holocentrics were negligibly affected. Therefore, we hypothesize that DNA-damaging agents induce cell cycle arrest leading to endopolyploidy only in monocentric and not (or to much lesser extent) in holocentric plants. While current microscope-dependent methods for holocentrism detection are unreliable for small and numerous chromosomes, which are common in holocentrics, FCM can use somatic nuclei. Thus, FCM may be a rapid and reliable method of high-throughput screening for holocentric candidates across plant phylogeny.

Human bone marrow assessment by single-cell RNA sequencing, mass cytometry, and flow cytometry.

Project description:New techniques for single-cell analysis have led to insights into hematopoiesis and the immune system, but the ability of these techniques to cross-validate and reproducibly identify the biological variation in diverse human samples is currently unproven. We therefore performed a comprehensive assessment of human bone marrow cells using both single-cell RNA sequencing and multiparameter flow cytometry from 20 healthy adult human donors across a broad age range. These data characterize variation between healthy donors as well as age-associated changes in cell population frequencies. Direct comparison of techniques revealed discrepancy in the quantification of T lymphocyte and natural killer cell populations. Orthogonal validation of immunophenotyping using mass cytometry demonstrated a strong correlation with flow cytometry. Technical replicates using single-cell RNA sequencing matched robustly, while biological replicates showed variation. Given the increasing use of single-cell technologies in translational research, this resource serves as an important reference data set and highlights opportunities for further refinement.

Flow cytometry-assisted purification and proteomic analysis of the corticotropes dense-core secretory granules.

Project description:The field of organellar proteomics has emerged as an attempt to minimize the complexity of the proteomics data obtained from whole cell and tissue extracts while maximizing the resolution on the protein composition of a single subcellular compartment. Standard methods involve lengthy density-based gradient and/or immunoaffinity purification steps followed by extraction, 1-DE or 2-DE, gel staining, in-gel tryptic digestion, and protein identification by MS. In this paper, we present an alternate approach to purify subcellular organelles containing a fluorescent reporter molecule. The gel-free procedure involves fluorescence-assisted sorting of the secretory granules followed by gentle extraction in a buffer compatible with tryptic digestion and MS. Once the subcellular organelle labeled, this procedure can be done in a single day, requires no major modification to any instrumentation and can be readily adapted to the study of other organelles. When applied to corticotrope secretory granules, it led to a much enriched granular fraction from which numerous proteins could be identified through MS.

Analysis of factors bound to native metaphase ESC chromosomes following purification by flow cytometry

Project description:Stem cells are able to self-renew and also generate differentiated progeny. How gene expression patterns are transmitted through mitosis remains unresolved. Conventional studies have relied upon rigorous cell-cycle-stage synchronisation to find factors in mitotic lysates that could ‘bookmark’ the genome. Here we use an alternative approach, purifying native-unfixed mitotic chromosomes from different cell types using flow cytometry and directly identifying chromosome-bound proteins by LC-MS/MS. This revealed a rich profile of pluripotency- and lineage-specific transcription factors that remained bound to mitotic chromosomes in pluripotent ESCs and lymphocytes, as well as factors implicated in chromosome condensation, architecture and gene silencing. Removal of DNA methylation, PRC2 activity, or in situ cleavage of cohesin, each resulted in the reduced compaction of mitotic chromosomes. These data provide a comprehensive catalogue of bookmarking factors in pluripotent versus lineage-restricted cells and demonstrate an expected duality of function by candidates in regulating both gene expression and mitotic chromosome structure.
