Project description:We introduce a microfluidic platform that enables off-chip single-cell RNA-seq after multi-generational lineage tracking under controlled culture conditions. We use this platform to generate whole-transcriptome profiles of primary, activated murine CD8+ T-cell and lymphocytic leukemia cell line lineages. Here we report that both cell types have greater intra- than inter-lineage transcriptional similarity. For CD8+ T-cells, genes with functional annotation relating to lymphocyte differentiation and function--including Granzyme B--are enriched among the genes that demonstrate greater intra-lineage expression level similarity. Analysis of gene expression covariance with matched measurements of time since division reveals cell type-specific transcriptional signatures that correspond with cell cycle progression. We believe that the ability to directly measure the effects of lineage and cell cycle-dependent transcriptional profiles of single cells will be broadly useful to fields where heterogeneous populations of cells display distinct clonal trajectories, including immunology, cancer, and developmental biology.

Project description:Cancer is driven by genetic aberrations in the tumor cells and fundamental changes in the tumor microenvironment (TME). These changes offer potential targets for novel therapeutics, yet lack of in vitro 3D models recapitulating this complex microenvironment impedes such progress. Here, we generated tumor-stroma spheroids reflecting the in vivo TME of early and advanced breast tumor, using a high throughput microfluidic system. The spheroids, composed of tumor cells, fibroblasts and activated immune cells, were generated and cultivated on-chip in alginate (Alg) or alginate-alginate sulfate (Alg/Alg-S) hydrogels.

Project description:Hydrodynamic-based microfluidic platforms enable single-cell arraying and analysis over time. Despite the advantages of established microfluidic systems, long term analysis and proliferation of cells selected in such devices require off-chip recovery of cells as well as an investigation of on-chip analysis on cell phenotype; requirements still largely unmet. Here, we introduce a device for single-cell isolation, selective retrieval and off-chip recovery. To this end, singularly addressable three-dimensional electrodes are embedded within a microfluidic channel, allowing, through application of a negative dielectrophoretic (DEP) force, the selective release of single cells from their trapping site. Selective capture and release is carried out in standard culture medium and cells can be subsequently single cell mitigated towards a recovery well using hybrid SU-8/PDMS pneumatic valves. Importantly, transcriptional analysis of recovered cells revealed only marginal alteration of the molecular profile upon DEP application, underscored by equivocal minor transcriptional changes induced upon injection into the microfluidics device. Therefore, the established microfluidic system combining targeted DEP manipulation with down-stream hydrodynamic coordination of single cells, provides the means to handle and manipulate individual cells within one device.

Project description:Epigenetic profiling by chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing (ChIP-seq) has become a powerful tool for genome-wide identification of regulatory elements, for defining transcriptional regulatory networks and for screening for biomarkers. However, the ChIP-seq protocol for low-input samples is laborious, time-consuming and suffers from experimental variation, resulting in poor reproducibility and low throughput. Although prototypic microfluidic ChIP-seq platforms have been developed, these are poorly transferable as they require sophisticated custom-made equipment and in-depth microfluidic and ChIP expertise, while lacking parallelisation. To enable standardized, automated ChIP-seq profiling of low-input samples, we constructed microfluidic PDMS-based plates capable of performing 24 sensitive ChIP reactions within 30 minutes hands-on time and 4.5 hours machine-running time. These disposable plates can be conveniently loaded into a widely available controller for pneumatics and thermocycling. In light of the Plug and Play (PnP) ChIP plates and workflow, we named our procedure PnP-ChIP-seq. We demonstrate high-quality ChIP-seq on hundreds to few thousands of cells for all six post-translational histone modifications that are included in the International Human Epigenome Consortium set of reference epigenomes. PnP-ChIP-seq robustly detects epigenetic differences on promoters and enhancers between naïve and more primed mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs). Furthermore, we used our platform to generate epigenetic profiles of rare subpopulations of mESCs that resemble the 2-cell stage of embryonic development. PnP-ChIP-seq allows non-expert labs worldwide to conveniently run robust, standardized ChIP-seq, while its high-throughput, consistency and sensitivity paves the way towards large-scale profiling of precious sample types such as rare subpopulations of cells or biopsies.

Project description:We investigated the effects of the flutamide (FLU) -induced liver injury in primary rat hepatocytes using our liver microfluidic biochips. Flutamide is used a non-steroidal anti-androgenic drug. Two flutamide concentrations, 10M-BM-5M and 100M-BM-5M, were used to expose the hepatocytes for 24h under perfusion. Primary rat hepatocytes were cultivated in microfluidic biochips and treated with 10 and 100M-BM-5M of flutamide for 24h

Project description:Single-cell whole-transcriptome analysis is a powerful tool for quantifying gene expression heterogeneity in populations of cells. Many techniques have, thus, been recently developed to perform transcriptome sequencing (RNA-Seq) on individual cells. To probe subtle biological variation between samples with limiting amounts of RNA, more precise and sensitive methods are still required. We adapted a previously developed strategy for single-cell RNA-Seq that has shown promise for superior sensitivity and implemented the chemistry in a microfluidic platform for single-cell whole transcriptome analysis. In this approach, single cells are captured and lysed in a microfluidic device, where mRNAs with poly(A) tails are reverse-transcribed into cDNA. Double-stranded cDNA is then collected and sequenced using a next-generation sequencing platform. We prepared 94 libraries consisting of single mouse embryonic cells and technical replicates of extracted RNA and thoroughly characterized the performance of this technology. Microfluidic implementation increased mRNA detection sensitivity as well as improved measurement precision compared with tube-based protocols. With 0.2M reads per cell, we were able to reconstruct a majority of the bulk transcriptome with 10 single cells. We also quantified variation between and within different types of mouse embryonic cells and found that enhanced measurement precision, detection sensitivity, and experimental throughput aided the distinction between biological variability and technical noise. With this work, we validated the advantages of an early approach to single-cell RNA-Seq and showed that the benefits of combining microfluidic technology with high-throughput sequencing will be valuable for large-scale efforts in single-cell transcriptome analysis. We investigated gene expression in mouse embryonic cells using microfluidic-facilitated RNA-Seq to analyze 56 single mouse ES cell (mESC) transcriptomes and 6 single mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEF) transcriptomes. To quantitatively evaluate the sensitivity and precision of our technique, we also sequenced 23 libraries from extracted mESC RNA, representing three sets of technical replicates with varying starting amounts of material.

Project description:Investigation in bacterial transcriptomics is widely used to investigate gene regulation, bacterial susceptibility to antibiotics, host-pathogen interactions, and pathogenesis. Transcriptomics is crucially dependent on suitable methods to isolate and detect bacterial RNA. Microfluidic approaches offer ways of creating integrated point-of-care systems, analysing a sample from preparation, RNA isolation through to detection. Critical for on-chip diagnostics to deliver on their promise is that mRNA expression is not altered through the use microfluidic sample processing. Here, we investigate the impact on the use of a microfluidic sample processing system based on hydrodynamic separation upon RNA expression of bacteria isolated from blood to prove its suitability for further microfluidic test development. A 10 array study using total RNA recovered from bacteria isolated using the microfluidic device and total RNA recovered from bacteria that were not separated using the device were compared. Arrays were performed in 5 biological replicates from each condition
