Predmety: TISSUE analysis, RNA sequencing, TRANSCRIPTOMES, LUNG cancer, CELLULAR signal transduction, CRYOPROTECTIVE agents
Abstrakt: Purpose: Single-cell transcriptional profiling reveals cell heterogeneity and clinically relevant traits in intra-operatively collected patient-derived tissue. So far, single-cell studies have been constrained by the requirement for prospectively collected fresh or cryopreserved tissue. This limitation might be overcome by recent technical developments enabling single-cell analysis of FFPE tissue. Methods: We benchmark single-cell profiles from patient-matched fresh, cryopreserved and archival FFPE cancer tissue. Results: We find that fresh tissue and FFPE routine blocks can be employed for the robust detection of clinically relevant traits on the single-cell level. Specifically, single-cell maps of fresh patient tissues and corresponding FFPE tissue blocks could be integrated into common low-dimensional representations, and cell subtype clusters showed highly correlated transcriptional strengths of signaling pathway, hallmark, and clinically useful signatures, although expression of single genes varied due to technological differences. FFPE tissue blocks revealed higher cell diversity compared to fresh tissue. In contrast, single-cell profiling of cryopreserved tissue was prone to artifacts in the clinical setting. Conclusion: Our analysis highlights the potential of single-cell profiling in the analysis of retrospectively and prospectively collected archival pathology cohorts and increases the applicability in translational research.
