Multiomics characterization of a less invasive microfluidic-based cell sorting technique
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) is a specialized technique to isolate
cell subpopulations with a high level of recovery and accuracy. However, the cell sorting
procedure can impact the viability and metabolic state of cells. Here, we performed a comparative study and evaluated the impact of traditional high-pressure charged droplet-based and a microfluidic chip-based sorting approach on the metabolic and phosphoproteomic profile of different cell types. While microfluidic chip-based sorted cells more closely resembled the unsorted control group for most cell types tested, the droplet-based sorted cells showed significant metabolic and phosphoproteomic alterations. In particular, greater changes in redox and energy status were present in cells sorted with the droplet-based cell sorter along with higher transcriptional and spliceosomal regulation and mechanical stress signaling. These results
indicate microfluidic chip-based sorting is less disruptive compared to droplet-based sorting.
