A novel approach to generate enzyme-free single cell suspensions from archived tissues for miRNA sequencing

Obtaining high-quality omics data at the single-cell level from archived human tissue samples is crucial for gaining insights into cellular heterogeneity and pushing the field of personalized medicine forward. In this technical brief we present a comprehensive methodological framework for the effici...

Description
Summary:Obtaining high-quality omics data at the single-cell level from archived human tissue samples is crucial for gaining insights into cellular heterogeneity and pushing the field of personalized medicine forward. In this technical brief we present a comprehensive methodological framework for the efficient enzyme-free preparation of tissue-derived single cell suspensions and their conversion into single-cell miRNA sequencing libraries. The resulting data from this study have the potential to deepen our understanding of miRNA expression at the single-cell level and its relevance in the context of the examined tissues. The workflow encompasses tissue collection, RNALater immersion, storage, thawing, TissueGrinder-mediated dissociation, miRNA lysis, library preparation, sequencing, and data analysis. Quality control measures ensure reliable miRNA data, with specific attention to sample quality. The UMAP analysis reveals tissue-specific cell clustering, while miRNA diversity reflects tissue variations. The presented workflow effectively processes preserved tissues, extending opportunities for retrospective analysis and biobank utilization.
