Project description:Recently, combining single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) with upstream cell preservation procedures such as cryopreservation or methanol fixation has become more common. By separating cell handling and preparation, from downstream library generation, scRNA-seq workflows are more flexible and manageable. However, the inherent transcriptomics changes associated with cell preservation and how they may bias further downstream analysis remain unknown. Here, we present a side-by-side droplet-based scRNA-seq analysis, comparing the gold standard – fresh cells – to three different cell preservation workflows: dimethyl sulfoxide based cryopreservation, methanol fixation and CellCover reagent. Cryopreservation proved to be the most robust protocol, maximizing both cell integrity and low background ambient RNA. Importantly, gene expression profiles from fresh cells correlated most with those of cryopreserved cells. Such similarities were consistently observed across the tested cell lines (R ≥ 0.97), monocyte-derived macrophages (R = 0.97) and immune cells (R = 0.99). In contrast, both methanol fixation and CellCover preservation showed an increased ambient RNA background and an overall lower gene expression correlation to fresh cells. Thus, our results demonstrate the superiority of cryopreservation over other cell preservation methods. We expect our comparative study to provide single cell omics researchers invaluable support when integrating cell preservation into their scRNA-seq studies.

Project description:Serum- and xeno-free cryopreservation is suitable for cells to be used in clinical applications. However, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), which is often used in conventional cryoprotectant medium, has been shown to be toxic to many cell types and can induce morphological and gene expression changes that can lead to changes in cell function when they are cultured. In order to evaluate this issue in depth, we examined the efficiency of a DMSO-free/serum-free/xeno-free chemically defined cryoprotectant media, STEM-CELLBANKER DMSO-Free, when culturing human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and chondrocytes. Interestingly, the cells cryopreserved in STEM-CELLBANKER DMSO-Free had a similar growth rate, morphology, and global gene expression profile compared to that observed for cells preserved in conventional freezing medium, which contains 10% DMSO and 20% fetal bovine serum. From these data, we therefore propose that STEM-CELLBANKER DMSO-Free may be an effective tool for maintaining the cellular characteristics of MSCs and chondrocytes during cryo-storage prior to clinical application.

Project description:Single-cell transcriptomics methods have become very popular to study the cellular composition of organs and tissues and characterize the expression profiles of the individual cells that compose them. The main critical step for single-cell transcriptomics methods is sample preparation. Several methods have been developed to preserve cells after sample dissociation to uncouple sample handling from library preparation. Yet, the suitability of these methods depends on the types of cells to be processed. In this project, we perform a systematic comparison of preservation methods for droplet-based single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) on human neural progenitor cell populations derived from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and highlight their strengths and weaknesses. We compared the cellular composition and expression profile of single-cell suspensions from fresh NPCs with that of NPCs preserved with Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO), Methanol, vivoPHIX and Acetil-methanol (ACME). Our results show that while DMSO provides the highest cell quality in terms of RNA molecules and genes detected per cell. Yet, it strongly affects the cellular composition and the expression profile of the resulting datasets. In contrast, methanol fixed samples display a cellular composition like that of fresh samples while providing a good cell quality and smaller expression biases. Taken together, our results show that methanol fixation is the method of choice for performing droplet-based single-cell transcriptomics experiments on neural cell populations.

Project description:Background: The cryopreservation of semen is crucial for conserving genetic diversity and reproductive success in endangered species like the Siberian sturgeon. However, this process can cause cryodamage, affecting quality and protein profile of spermatozoa. While cryoprotectants like dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and methanol (MeOH) facilitate post-thaw motility recovery, DMSO-preserved spermatozoa exhibit reduced fertilizing ability. This study investigates how DMSO and MeOH impact the proteome of Siberian sturgeon spermatozoa and examines semen quality parameters. Two complementary approaches of quantitative proteomics, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and two-dimensional difference in gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE), were used to analyze the proteomic profiles of fresh and cryopreserved spermatozoa, as well as the extracellular medium (EM; n=7 for each group). Results: Cryopreservation led to a decline in motility parameters (MOT, VCL, PROG) and viability, along with an increase in ROS levels, membrane fluidity, and acrosome damage. Despite similar quality parameters between DMSO and MeOH-preserved sperm, DMSO-preserved sperm showed dramatically lower fertilization success (6.2% vs 51.2%). A total of 224 and 118 differentially abundant proteins in spermatozoa cryopreserved with MeOH and DMSO, respectively, were identified compared to fresh samples, with 342 and 363 proteins released into the EM. The most affected proteins by cryopreservation included H2A, CABYR, PYGM, ENO3, DBI and LTA4H. Additionally, 36 and 39 uniquely altered sperm-leakage proteins were identified for MeOH and DMSO cryopreserved samples, respectively. Bioinformatic analysis showed that MeOH-specific proteins were related to chromosomal structure and mitochondrial functionality, while DMSO-specific proteins were mainly involved in acrosome reaction, zona pellucida binding, flagella structure, and nuclear pore organization. These proteins are potentially involved in sturgeon sperm fertilizing ability. The expression of six proteins was verified by western blot analysis. Conclusions: This study provides the first comprehensive proteomic characterization of Siberian sturgeon spermatozoa after cryopreservation with DMSO and MeOH, revealing insights into proteomic changes that affect fertilizing ability and aiding conservation efforts for this endangered species.

Project description:Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) matrix biomarkers have become increasingly valuable surrogate markers of neuropsychiatric diseases in research and clinical practice. In contrast, CSF cells have been rarely investigated due to their relative scarcity and fragility, and lack of common collection and cryopreservation protocols, with limited exceptions for neurooncology and primary immune-based diseases like multiple sclerosis. The advent of a microfluidics-based multi-omics approaches to studying individual cells has allowed for the study of cellular phenotyping, intracellular dynamics, and intercellular relationships that provide multidimensionality unable to be obtained through acellular fluid-phase analyses. challenges to cell-based research include site to- site differences in handling, storage, and thawing methods, which can lead to inaccuracy and inter-assay variability. In the present study, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing (10x Genomics) on fresh (Samples labeled as FRE) or previously cryopreserved human CSF samples from three alternative cryopreservation methods: Fetal Bovine Serum with Dimethyl sulfoxide (FBS/DMSO, Samples labeled as FBS), FBS/DMSO after a DNase step (a step often included in epigenetic studies, samples labeled as DNA), and cryopreservation using commercially available Recovery©media (Samples labeled as REC). In comparing relative differences between fresh and cryopreserved samples, we found little effect of the cryopreservation method on being able to resolve donor-linked cell type proportions, markers of cellular stress, and overall gene expression at the single-cell level, whereas donor-specific differences were readily discernable. We further, demonstrate the compatibility of fresh and cryopreserved CSF immune cell sequencing using biologically relevant sexually dimorphic gene expression differences by donor. Our findings support the utility and interchangeability of FBS/DMSO and Recovery cryopreservation with fresh sample analysis, providing a methodological grounding that will enable researchers to further expand our understanding of the CSF immune cell contributions to neurological and psychiatric disease.
