Project description:Methylomic studies require substantial amounts of DNA samples and this restriction hinders applications involving scarce animal or patient samples with direct biomedical relevance. Here we report a microfluidics-based reduced representative bisulfite sequencing protocol, MIcrofluidic Diffusion-based RRBS (MID-RRBS), that permits methylomic profiling with sub-1 ng starting DNA. Using this technology, we studied DNA methylation in NeuN+ and NeuN- fractions isolated from mouse cerebellum, revealing cell-type specific methylomic patterns. We also studied the DNA methylation in NeuN+ nuclei isolated from clozapine or vehicle treated mouse frontal cortex.

Project description:Methylomic analyses typically require substantial amounts of DNA, thus hindering studies involving scarce samples. Here, we show that microfluidic diffusion-based reduced representative bisulfite sequencing (MID-RRBS) permits high-quality methylomic profiling with nanogram-to-single-cell quantities of starting DNA. We used the microfluidic device, which allows for efficient bisulfite conversion with high DNA recovery, to analyse genome-wide DNA methylation in cell nuclei isolated from mouse brains and sorted into NeuN+ (primarily neuronal) and NeuN- (primarily glial) fractions, and to establish cell-type-specific methylomes. Genome-wide methylation and methylation in low-CpG-density promoter regions showed distinct patterns for NeuN+ and NeuN- fractions from the mouse cerebellum. The identification of substantial variations in the methylomic landscapes of the NeuN+ fraction of the frontal cortex of mice chronically treated with an atypical antipsychotic drug suggests that this technology can be broadly used for cell-type-specific drug profiling and for the study of drug-methylome interactions.

Project description:Here we present a microfluidics-based affinity purification-mass spectrometry (AP-MS) pipeline to identify protein-protein interactions (PPI) using minute amounts of input material. The use of this automated platform allowed us to identify the human cohesin and CCC complex from only 4 micrograms of input lysate, representing a ~50-100 fold downscaling compared to regular microcentrifuge tubes-based workflows. As such, our method holds great promise for future AP-MS applications in which sample amounts are limited.

Project description:Essentially all cellular processes are orchestrated by protein-protein interactions (PPIs). In recent years, affinity purification coupled to mass spectrometry (AP-MS) has been the preferred method to identify cellular PPIs. Here we present a microfluidics-based (AP-MS) workflow to identify PPIs using minute amounts of input material. The use of this automated platform allowed us to identify the human cohesin, CCC and Mediator complex from as little as 4 micrograms of input lysate, representing a 50─100-fold downscaling compared to regular microcentrifuge tube-based protocols. We show that our platform can be used to affinity purify tagged baits as well as native cellular proteins and their interaction partners. As such, our method holds great promise for future biological and clinical AP-MS applications in which sample amounts are limited.

Project description:Neutrophils play critical roles in modulating the immune response. However, neutrophils have a short circulating half life, are readily stimulated in vitro, and have low levels of cellular mRNA when compared to other blood leukocyte populations. All of these factors have made it difficult to evaluate neutrophils from clinical populations for molecular and functional studies. Here we present a robust methodology for rapidly isolating neutrophils directly from whole blood and develop âon- chipâ processing for mRNA and protein isolation for genomics and proteomics. We validate this device with an ex vivo stimulation experiment and demonstrate the ability of the device to discriminate subtle differences in the genomic and proteomic response of peripheral blood neutrophils to direct and indirect stimulation. Lastly, we implement this tool as part of a near patient blood processing system within a multi-center clinical study of the immune response to severe trauma and burn injury and demonstrate that this technique is easy to use by nurses and technical staff yielding excellent quality and sufficient quantity of mRNA for sensitive genomic readout of the host response to injury 1. Ex vivo Stimulation Studies: We assessed whether the relatively small number of isolated neutrophils captured by the microfluidics cassettes would impact the resulting genomic sensitivity and potential discriminatory genomic capabilities in response to various stimuli. To do this, we compared the genome-wide expression profile in neutrophils from 4 independent repeated experiements under three conditions - untimulated, ex vivo activation with either Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS), or with granulocyte-macrophage colony-simulating factor (GM-CSF) and interferon-gamma (INF-g) (referred to as GM+I). In both protocols, whole blood was stimulated ex vivo24 to allow leukocyte and plasma protein interactions. 2. Inter-subject Reproducibility: To further ensure the reliability of the of the microfluidics cassette isolation method, we directly compared the gene expression of neutrophils captured in the microfluidics cassettes with neutrophils isolated using density centrifugation with Ficoll-dextran. We performed parallel neutrophil isolations using both methodologies from five different healthy volunteers and processed the cell lysates for microarray analysis using identical protocols.

Project description:The fungal toxin-encoding genes are highly upregulated in the vegetative mycelium upon challenge with the predator. Our recent studies in microfluidics have shown that latter induction is spatially restricted to parts of the vegetative mycelium that is in direct contact with the predator. In order to dissect the defensome of a multicellular fungus against a predator, here, we performed RNA - sequencing of mushroom Coprinopsis cinerea upon challenged with fungivorous nematode Aphelenchus avenae in Microfluidics device at three different time points. We analyzed hyphae that were collected from a microfluidics device where they have been in direct contact with or cultivated without A. avenae.

Project description:A microfluidics technology was implemented to the immunoaffinity purification process of MHC peptides in Ligandomics/Immunopeptidomics. The thus purified HLA peptides were analysed by LCMS with the nanoElute LC and TimsTOF Pro Mass Spectrometer from Bruker. The aim of the microfluidics implementation was to improve the sensitivity and robustness while also reducing antibody and other material requirements in the immunoaffinity purification protocol.

Project description:There has been an extensive effort underway to profile epigenetic features at the genome-wide scale using primary ex vivo tissues. Cell-type specificity of epigenomes calls for enrichment to obtain a homogenous cell population from a small quantity of tissues. Thus technologies that permit both ultralow input and high throughput are desired for profiling an array of histone marks. Here we demonstrate a simple microfluidic technology, SurfaceChIP-seq, for profiling genome-wide histone modifications using as few as 30 cells per assay and with up to 8 assays running in parallel. We applied the technology to study epigenomic landscapes in neurons and glia in prefrontal cortex and cerebellum of mouse brain. The data revealed extensive epigenomic difference in the two regions on important functional elements such as promoters and enhancers.
