Project description:Single cell proteomics (SCP) can provide information that is unattainable through either bulk-scale protein measurements or single-cell profiling of other omes. Maximizing proteome coverage often requires custom instrumentation, consumables and reagents for sample processing and separations, which limits accessibility of SCP to a small number of specialized laboratories. Commercial platforms have become available for SCP cell isolation and sample preparation, but the high cost of these platforms and the technical expertise required for their operation place them out of reach of many interested laboratories. Here, we assessed the new HP D100 Single Cell Dispenser for label-free SCP. The low-cost instrument proved highly accurate and reproducible for dispensing reagents in the 200 nL to 2 µL range. We used the HP D100 to isolate and prepare single cells for SCP within 384-well PCR plates. When the well plates were immediately centrifuged following cell dispensing and again after reagent dispensing, we found that ~97% of wells that were identified in the instrument software as containing a single cell indeed provided proteome coverage expected of a single cell. The D100 Single Cell Dispenser combined with one-step sample processing provides a very rapid easy-to-use workflow for SCP with no reduction in proteome coverage relative to a nanowell-based workflow. The commercial well plates also facilitate autosampling with commercial instrumentation. Single cell samples were analyzed using home-packed 30-µm-i.d. nanoLC columns as well as commercially available 50-µm-i.d. columns. The commercial columns led to identification of ~35% fewer identified proteins. However, combined with the well plate-based preparation platform the presented workflow provides fully commercial and relatively low cost alternative for SCP sample preparations and separations, which should greatly broaden accessibility of SCP to other laboratories.

Project description:Schwann cells (SCs) are an absolute prerequisite for development of effective treatment of myelin disorders and nerve injuries. However, human sources of functional, myelinating SCs are extremely limited. Here, we have developed a novel, efficient strategy for producing directly an unlimited supply of functional human SCs via successful derivation of expandable Schwann cell precursors (SCPs) from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) (hPSC-SCPs). Functional and molecular characteristics of SCs from hPSC-SCPs (hPSC-SCP-SCs) appeared to be similar to those of authentic Schwann cells. As a novel therapeutic target, transplanted hPSC-SCP-SCs effectively promoted axonal regeneration through directly myelinating regenerated-axons in sciatic nerve injured mice. Here, we present hPSC-SCPs and hPSC-SCP-SCs as an outstanding resource to use for investigating human Schwann cell pathology and biology and for translational approaches to PNS and CNS repair and regeneration.

Project description:Disseminated tumor cells (DTCs) in the bone marrow can be detected in patients with solid tumors early on in disease progression. Via interaction with mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) these tumor cells may interfere with hematopoiesis. Using appropriate co-culture models, we investigated whether DTCs can change the bone marrow microenvironment by modulating MSC function with a special emphasis on their chemoattractive activity towards hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs). Human bone marrow derived MSCs as well as an immortalised MSC line (SCP-1) were co-cultured with MCF-7, MDA-MB231 breast carcinoma or MCF-10A non-malignant breast epithelial cells or their conditioned medium. Gene expression analysis of SCP-1 cells cultured with MCF-7 conditioned medium revealed SDF-1/CXCL12 as one of the significantly downregulated genes. Both tumor cell lines caused an inhibited SDF-1 promoter activity in SCP-1 cells, whereby MCF-7 medium decreased it to 77% and MDA-MB231 to 47%. Moreover, the SDF-1 mRNA and protein levels were significantly reduced. As a functional consequence of lower SDF-1 levels, we detected a decreased trans-well migration potential of CD34+ HSPC to MSC/tumor cell co-cultures or conditioned medium. The specificity of this chemokine mediated effect was confirmed by blocking studies with the CXCR4 antagonist AMD3100. Downregulation of SP1 transcription factor and increased miR23a levels in MSCs after contact with tumor cell medium as well as an enhanced TGFb1 expression were identified as potential molecular regulators of SDF-1 activity in MSCs. We propose an additional mechanism by which tumor cells affect the niche environment of HSPCs and therefore negatively impact hematopoiesis. Gene expression of human immortalized mesenchymal stromal cells (SCP-1) was investigated after incubation with conditioned medium of the breast carcinoma cell line MCF-7 for 24, 48, and 72 hours. Three independent experiments were performed at each time.

Project description:The fate and physiology of individual cells are controlled by protein interactions. Yet, our ability to quantitatively analyze proteins in single cells has remained limited. To overcome this barrier, we developed SCoPE2. It lowers cost and hands-on time by introducing automated and miniaturized sample preparation while substantially increasing quantitative accuracy. These advances enabled us to analyze the emergence of cellular heterogeneity as homogeneous monocytes differentiated into macrophage-like cells in the absence of polarizing cytokines. SCoPE2 quantified over 2,700 proteins in 1,018 single monocytes and macrophages in ten days of instrument time, and the quantified proteins allowed us to discern single cells by cell type. Furthermore, the data uncovered a continuous gradient of proteome states for the macrophage-like cells, suggesting that macrophage heterogeneity may emerge even in the absence of polarizing cytokines. Parallel measurements of transcripts by 10x Genomics scRNA-seq suggest that SCoPE2 samples 20-fold more copies per gene, thus supporting quantification with improved count statistics. Joint analysis of the data indicated that most genes had similar responses at the protein and RNA levels, though the responses of hundreds of genes differed. Our methodology lays the foundation for automated and quantitative single-cell analysis of proteins by mass-spectrometry.

Project description:Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid tumor and accounts for ~10% of pediatric cancer-related deaths. The exact cell-of-origin has yet to be elucidated, but it is generally accepted that neuroblastoma derives from the neural crest and should thus be considered an embryonal malignancy. About 50% of primary neuroblastoma tumors arise in the adrenal gland. Here we present an atlas of the developing mouse adrenal gland at a single cell level. Five main cell cluster groups (medulla, cortex, endothelial, stroma and immune) make up the mouse adrenal gland during fetal development. The medulla group, which is of neural crest origin, is further divided into seven clusters. Of interest is the Schwann cell precursor (SCP) and the neuroblast cluster, a highly cycling cluster that shares markers with sympathoblasts. The signature of the medullary SCP cluster differentiates neuroblastoma patients based on disease phenotype: the SCP signature score anti- correlates with ALK and MYCN expression, two indicators of poor prognosis. Furthermore, a high SCP signature score is associated with better overall survival rates. This study provides an insight in the developing adrenal gland and introduces the SCP gene signature as being of interest for further research in understanding neuroblastoma phenotype.

Project description:The ability of the Antarctic microarthropod, Cryptopygus antarcticus (Collembola, Isotomidae), to survive low temperatures has been well studied at the physiological level. These investigations have indicated the importance of the moulting process in conferring this ability. This study investigated gene expression in groups of C. antarcticus that have distinct differences in their ability to survive low temperatures. A microarray containing 5,400 C. antarcticus expressed sequence tags was used to investigate gene expression differences between groups of animals with different supercooling points (SCP), and to low temperatures close to their SCP. By demonstrating the involvement of moulting genes in the differential survival of two groups of C. antarcticus with distinct SCPs, the results of this investigation add support to the role moulting plays in conferring cold tolerance in C. antarcticus.
