Gene expression profiling at the single nuclei level of channel catfish spleen
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus, is an important model U.S. aquaculutre species. Given its role in food production, the catfish immune response to industry-relevant pathogens has been extensively studied and has provided crucial information on innate and adaptive immune function during disease progression. To further examine the channel catfish immune system, single-nuclei RNA sequencing on whole spleens from three adult individuals was performed. Spleen cell suspensions were prepared by passing tissues through cell sieves. Single-cell RNAseq libraries were then prepared using the 10X Genomics Chromium X with the Next GEM Single Cell 3’ Reagents and sequenced 2x150bp on an Illumina sequencer. Each demultiplexed library was aligned to the CoCo_2.0 channel catfish reference assembly, filtered, and counted to generate feature-barcode matrices. Cluster analysis allowed for the identification of multiple cell types including erythrocytes, hematopoietic stem cells, B cells, T/NK cells, myeloid lineage derivatives, plasma cells and endothelial cells. The majority of cells detected were erythrocytes, which are nucleated in teleost fish.
