Project description:The field of single cell technologies has rapidly advanced our comprehension of the human immune system, offering unprecedented insights into cellular heterogeneity and immune function. While cryopreserved peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) samples enable deep characterization of immune cells, challenges in clinical isolation and preservation limit their application in underserved communities. We present CryoSCAPE (Cryopreservation for Scalable Cellular And Proteomic Exploration), a scalable method for immune studies of human PBMC with multi-omic single cell assays using direct cryopreservation of whole blood. This method, optimized for scalability and cost-effectiveness, allows for high-throughput single cell sequencing and functional assays while addressing sample handling challenges in the clinic. Comparative analyses and functional assays of human PBMC from cryopreserved whole blood demonstrate the efficacy of this methodology in capturing cell proportions and molecular features, showcasing its potential to democratize access to single-cell assays and enhance our understanding of immune function across underserved populations.
Project description:This study utilizes multi-omic biological data to perform deep immunophenotyping on the major immune cell classes in COVID-19 patients. 10X Genomics Chromium Single Cell Kits were used with Biolegend TotalSeq-C human antibodies to gather single-cell transcriptomic, surface protein, and TCR/BCR sequence information from 254 COVID-19 blood draws (a draw near diagnosis (-BL) and a draw a few days later (-AC)) and 16 healthy donors.
Project description:Background: This study aims to characterize the N6-methyladensosine epitranscriptomic profile induced by mono(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (MEHP) exposure using a human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived endothelial cell model. Methods: A multi-omic approach was employed by performing RNA sequencing in parallel with an m6A-specific microarray to identify mRNAs, lncRNAs, and miRNAs affected by MEHP exposure. Results: An integrative multi-omic analysis identified relevant biological features affected by MEHP, while functional assays provided a phenotypic characterization of these effects. Transcripts regulated by the epitranscriptome were validated with qPCR and Me-RIP. Conclusion: Our findings offer important information regarding the alterations occurring within the m6A epitranscriptome and the gene expression changes which occur in response to treatment with a synthetic phthalate in hiPSC-ECs and may be an important resource for future research.

Project description:Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disorder with poorly defined aetiology characterised by synovial inflammation with variable disease severity and drug responsiveness. To investigate the peripheral blood immune cell landscape of RA, we performed comprehensive clinical and molecular profiling of 267 RA patients and 52 vaccine recipient controls for up to 18 months to establish a high quality sample biobank including plasma, serum, peripheral blood cells, urine, genomic DNA, RNA from whole blood, lymphocyte and monocyte subsets. We have performed extensive multi-omic immune phenotyping, including genomic, metabolomic, proteomic, transcriptomic and autoantibody profiling. We anticipate that these detailed clinical and molecular data will serve as a fundamental resource offering insights into disease pathogenesis, progression and therapeutic response, ultimately contributing to the development and application of targeted therapies for RA.

Project description:The dynamics of immune reprogramming in the breast cancer lung metastastic niche remains incomplete. We used MULTI-seq (McGinnis, Patterson, et al., Nature Methods, 2019) to perform multiplexed single-cell RNA-sequencing analysis of cryopreserved lung immune cells isolated from PyMT mice, freshly-isolated lung immune cells isolated from PyMT mice, and cryopreserved lung immune cells isolated from 4T1 tumor-bearing mice from the onset of primary tumorigenesis through the formation of macrometastatic lesions. Cryopreserved PyMT samples were collected from 6-14 weeks of age, fresh PyMT samples were collected at 6, 10 and 13 weeks of age (with age-matched wild-type controls)
