Single-cell RNA (10X Chromium) of mouse DMBA/TPA treated or control back skin and matched livers
We generated single cell transcriptomes from full thickness skin biopsies in mouse to quantify the skin cell types found in this species (control samples). To study how mouse skin changes upon exposure to a carcinogen, we performed a classical two-stage skin carcinogenesis experiment, wherein cancer is initiated by a single application of 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]-anthracene (DMBA) followed by repeated treatment with 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) to drive cell proliferation. After 10 weeks, full thickness skin biopsies were collected and used to generate single cell transcriptomes (treatment samples).
