Study: Single-cell nuclear transcriptome sequencing and cross-species analysis reveal tree shrew retina Age-associated cellular profiles and specific markers
show Abstracthide Abstract
Tree shrews (TS) possess a highly developed visual system with great potential for modelling human age-related diseases in eyes. However, the cellular and molecular characteristics of the TS retina are rarely understood. Here, we used single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) to analyze the cellular map of the TS retina and determine the involvement of each cell type in retinal development during the postnatal lifespan. Intriguingly, increases in cones and retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), along with a reduction in rods and bipolar cells, were observed in the TS retina with an increase in age. Moreover, differential gene expression and histological analysis revealed retinal cell type-specific crucial genes in the developmental progression of TS. Especially, we observed that the circadian rhythm increased with age in TS from young to adult and elder stage, reflected in an increase in cone and RGC cells. Meanwhile, age-related TS-specific intercellular interactions in the retina were depicted, and these complex cell-cell communications may contribute to retinal degradation resistance and retinal homeostasis. Importantly, cross-species analysis compared the differences in retinal cell types and gene expression among TS, chicks, mice, primate macaques, and humans. TS exhibited a similar overall transcriptome expression associated with that in mice, which may be attributed to the higher complexity of retinal cell subtypes. Our findings for the first time decipher the cellular and molecular signatures in TS retina in different developmental stages, providing insights into the potential of TS as suitable animal model for studying retinal senescence and related disorders. Overall design: We used single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) to analyze the cellular map of the TS retina and determine the involvement of each cell type in retinal development during the postnatal lifespan.

Layout: PAIRED
Construction protocol: The retina was carefully dissected out from TS with strict compliance to the ethical guidelines. In detail, the dissected tissues were washed with cold phosphate buffered saline (PBS; Invitrogen, Carlsbad, USA), quickly frozen and then stored in liquid nitrogen before use. Preceding the library construction process, the tissues were first thawed, cut into small pieces, and then transferred to 1.5 mL tube contained with 1× homogenization buffer containing 30 mmol/L CaCl2, 18 mmol/L Mg(Ac)2, 60 mmol/L Tris-HCl (pH 7.8), 320 mmol/L sucrose, 0.1% nonidet P-40, and 0.1 mmol/L ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (Invitrogen). The tissue pieces werethen transferred to a 2 mL Dounce homogenizer and stroke on the ice with loose pestles and then with tight pestles for 15 times. The nucleus extraction was filtered with 40 mm strainer and spanned down at the speed of 500 g for 10 min at 4 ℃ to carefully discard the supernatant. The pellets were resuspended with PBS containing 0.1% bovine serum albumin (Invitrogen) and 20 U/mL RNase Inhibitor for later 10x Genomics 30 library construction (10x Genomics, Pleasanton, USA). Library was performed according to the manufacter's instructions (single cell 3' v2 protocol, 10x Genomics). Briefly, GCs were resuspended in the master mix and loaded together with partitioning oil and gel beads into the chip to generate the gel bead-in-emulsion (GEM). The poly-A RNA from the cell lysate contained in every single GEM was retrotranscripted to cDNA, which contains an Ilumina R1 primer sequence, Unique Molecular Identifier (UMI) and the 10x Barcode. The pooled barcoded cDNA was then cleaned up with Silane DynaBeads, amplified by PCR and the apropiated sized fragments were selected with SPRIselect reagent for subsequent library construction. During the library construction Ilumina R2 primer sequence, paired-end constructs with P5 and P7 sequences and a sample index were added.
