RNA-Seq of multiplexed metastasis xenogfrates of barcoded cell line pools
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Large-scale metastasis research has been infeasible as the use of in vivo hosts precluded the scale of such experiments. Here we introduce a barcoding strategy coupled with deep sequencing that is capable of determining the metastatic abilities of human cancer cell lines in murine xenografts at scale. We developed a RNA-Seq based readout method and an analysis framework that co-capture the cell lines that metastasize to the target organs and their averaged transcriptomes in different in vivo microenvironment. We applied the approach to a cohort of basal-like breast cell lines and revealed their diverse metastatic patterns, a heterogeneity as seen in patients. Expression analysis revealed organ-specific transcriptional states and differential pathway activities in metastases from one site to another.
