Description

In vitro tissue cell nucleus separation method for reducing single cell amplification bias
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of gene sequencing, and relates to an in vitro tissue cell nucleus separation method suitable for reducing single cell amplification bias.
Background
Single cell sequencing refers to a new technology for performing high-throughput sequencing analysis on multiple groups of genomes, transcriptomes, epigenets and the like on a single cell level. The application of the technology makes it possible to explain the gene structure and gene expression state of single cells and to interpret the heterogeneity between cells. The single cell sequencing can be widely applied to researches in developmental biology, immunity, tumor and other directions, and a large number of high-quality researches and scientific achievements are shown. The single cell whole genome sequencing is to perform whole genome amplification on DNA of single cells obtained after dissociation in tumor tissues, then perform library construction and sequencing, analyze the gene condition in each cell, study the tumor occurrence and development mechanism, molecular typing and the like, and provide a new direction for tumor typing, tumor treatment strategies, new drug research and development and the like.
Single cell sequencing has high requirements on sample activity. Human tumor tissues have multiple necrotic lesions, high-survival rate single cell suspension is not easy to obtain, and the cell survival rate cannot be ensured in the transportation process of the single cell suspension. The existing realization method is to carry single cell separation equipment to a hospital, and the fresh excised tissue cut by an operation is immediately digested and subsequently separated, so that the experiment is greatly limited in cost, time, place and other aspects. Therefore, there is a need to develop a new sample processing method to more conveniently obtain a suitable sample for single cell whole genome sequencing.
Fresh in-vitro tumor tissues are frozen into frozen tissues by liquid nitrogen and then can be transported and stored by dry ice, but the frozen tissues are difficult to digest to obtain single cell suspension with high survival rate after being thawed. The rapid freezing and cryopreservation processes of fresh tissues can cause great damage to cells, RNA in the cells is free and lost, single-cell RNA sequencing cannot be performed, and nuclear membranes can be kept intact in the freezing and thawing processes. It has been shown that the nucleus contains sufficient amounts of genomic DNA for sequencing and is highly relevant for genome sequencing with whole cells. Since nuclear membranes are more easily kept intact than cell membranes, obtaining a suspension of nuclei from frozen tissue is more practical than obtaining a suspension of single cells. At present, a mature and stable method for obtaining the mononuclear suspension from the frozen tissue does not exist, only a method for separating the mononuclear suspension from the frozen brain tissue by expensive auxiliary equipment exists at present, and the demonstration of quality control results does not exist.
Meanwhile, a hospital sample library has a large number of special cases and rare frozen samples, and the utilization of the frozen samples can be greatly helpful for researching rare disease species and shortening the research period.
Therefore, it is urgent to develop a simple and convenient method for separating human in vitro frozen tumor tissue cell nucleus to obtain single cell nuclear suspension with high survival rate.
