title: GSM5820693: Mouse inguinal white adipose 17-1; Mus musculus; RNA-Seq
library_construction_protocol: Nuclei were isolated from frozen mouse and human adipose tissue samples for 10x snRNA-seq using a slightly modified approach to what was previously described50–52. Samples were kept frozen on dry ice until immediately before nuclei isolation, and all sample handling steps were performed on ice. Each flash-frozen adipose tissue sample was placed into a gentleMACS C tube (Miltenyi Biotec) with 2 mL freshly prepared TST buffer (0.03% Tween 20 [Bio-Rad], 0.01% Molecular Grade BSA [New England Biolabs], 146 mM NaCl [ThermoFisher Scientific], 1 mM CaCl2 [VWR International], 21 mM MgCl2 [Sigma Aldrich], and 10 mM Tris-Hcl pH 7.5 [ThermoFisher Scientific] in Ultrapure water [ThermoFisher Scientific]) with or without 0.2 U/ µL of Protector RNase Inhibitor (Sigma Aldrich). gentleMACS C tubes were then placed on the gentleMACS Dissociator (Miltenyi Biotec) and tissue was dissociated by running the program “mr_adipose_01” twice, and then incubated on ice for 10 minutes. Lysate was passed through a 40 µm nylon filter (CellTreat) and collected into a 50 mL conical tube (Corning). Filter was rinsed with 3 mL of freshly prepared ST buffer buffer (146 mM NaCl, 1 mM CaCl2, 21 mM MgCl2; 10 mM Tris-Hcl pH 7.5) with or without 0.2 U/µL RNase Inhibitor, and collected into the same tube. Flow-through was centrifuged at 500 x g for 5 minutes at 4ºC with brake set to low. Following centrifugation, supernatant was removed, and the nuclear pellet was resuspended in 50 - 200 µl PBS pH 7.4 (ThermoFisher Scientific) with 0.02% BSA, with or without 0.2U/µL RNase Inhibitor. In order to reduce ambient mRNA, the nuclear pellets of some samples were washed 1-3 times with 5 mL of PBS-0.02% BSA before final resuspension. An aliquot of nuclei from each sample was stained with NucBlue (Thermofisher Scientific), counted in a hemocytometer using fluorescence to identify intact nuclei, and then immediately loaded on the 10x Chromium controller (10x Genomics) according to the manufacturer's protocol. For each sample, 10,000-16,500 nuclei were loaded in one channel of a Chromium Chip (10x Genomics). The Single Cell 3' v3.1 chemistry was used to process all samples. cDNA and gene expression libraries were generated according to the manufacturer's instructions (10x Genomics). cDNA and gene expression library fragment sizes were assessed with a DNA High Sensitivity Bioanalyzer Chip (Agilent). cDNA and gene expression libraries were quantified using the Qubit dsDNA High Sensitivity assay kit (ThermoFisher Scientific). Gene expression libraries were multiplexed and sequenced on the Nextseq 500 (Illumina) with a 75-cycle kit and the following read structure: Read 1: 28 cycles, Read 2: 55 cycles, Index Read 1: 8 cycles. 10X Chromium Single-Cell 3' (v3 Chemistry);
