Methods for Single Cell Transcriptomic Analysis of Adipose Tissue

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

The development of single cell approaches has facilitated the investigation of cellular heterogeneity and cell type-specific gene expression in complex tissues. Adipose tissue depots contain lipid storing adipocytes as well as a diverse array of cell types that form the adipocyte niche and regulate adipose tissue function. Here, I describe two protocols for the isolation of single cells and nuclei from white and brown adipose tissue. Additionally, I provide a detailed workflow for isolation of cell type- or lineage-specific single nuclei using nuclear tagging and translating ribosome affinity purification (NuTRAP) mouse models.
