Human Pancreas Optical Clearing by iDISCO and VISIKOL Resource Report Resource Website |
Martha Campbell Thompson, Malavika Nair | DOI:10.17504/protocols.io.ba4qigvw | Optical Clearing of Tissue, SPARC | Optical clearing of tissues to improve deep tissue microscopy was described over a century ago and methods have improved considerably following publication of the CLARITY method from Karl Deisseroth in 2013. Improvements in organic and inorganic methods are constantly reported for multiple species and organs. Large volume imaging was needed for human pancreas studies due to known heterogeneity in normal islet sizes and proportions of endocrine cells. Lobularity in islet beta-cell loss and islet inflammation is also seen in patients with type 1 diabetes. The iDISCO protocol allows for rapid clearing, easy staining, and high resolution confocal imaging. Human pancreas samples were cleared using iDISCO as originally published. This protocol describes steps to clear 4mm x 6mm x 400um deep sections of 4% paraformaldehyde fixed human pancreas using iDISCO-like reagents purchased from Visikol. | University of Florida, University of Florida | 1 | 2020 | Martha Campbell Thompson, Malavika Nair 2020.

A multi-scale model of cardiac electrophysiology Resource Report Resource Website |
Colleen clancy, Pei-Chi, Parya Aghasafari | DOI:10.17504/protocols.io.5nkg5cw | SPARC | Multi-scale computational modeling is a major branch of computational biology as evidenced by the US federal interagency Multi-Scale Modeling Consortium and major international projects. It invariably involves specific and detailed sequences of data analysis and simulation, often with multiple tools and datasets, and the community recognizes improved modularity, reuse, reproducibility, portability and scalability as critical unmet needs in this area. Scientific workflows are a well-recognized strategy for addressing these needs in scientific computing. While there are good examples if the use of scientific workflows in bioinformatics, medical informatics, biomedical imaging and data analysis, there are fewer examples in multi-scale computational modeling in general and cardiac electrophysiology in particular. Cardiac electrophysiology simulation is a mature area of multi-scale computational biology that serves as an excellent use case for developing and testing new scientific workflows. In this dataset, we develop, describe and test a computational workflow that serves as a proof of concept of a platform for the robust integration and implementation of a reusable and reproducible multi-scale cardiac cell and tissue model that is expandable, modular and portable. The workflow described leverages Python and Kepler-Python actor for plotting and pre/post-processing. During all stages of the workflow design, we rely on freely available open-source tools, to make our workflow freely usable by scientists. | University of California, Davis, University of California, Davis, University of California, Davis | https://github.com/ClancyLabUCD/Workflow_Kepler | 1 | 2019 | Colleen clancy, Pei-Chi, Parya Aghasafari 2019.

Processing Human Colon "Myenteric Plexus" for Single Nuclei RNA-seq Resource Report Resource Website |
Christina M Wright, Robert O Heuckeroth | DOI:10.17504/protocols.io.w26fghe | SPARC | INTRODUCTION: The human enteric nervous system (ENS) is a complex network of neurons and glia that extends throughout the length of the bowel. There are many neuron and glia types, but very little is known about the human ENS compared to other species. There are two main ENS layers. The myenteric plexus neurons are clustered into ganglia with thick nerve fiber bundles running between ganglia. Submucosal neuron ganglia are scattered throughout the region between circular muscle and the epithelial lining of the bowel. One key problem with studying human ENS is that these cells are a very minor component of the bowel wall (OBJECTIVES: To obtain a suspension of single nuclei from human colon myenteric plexus that could be used for RNA-seq.METHODS: 1) Human colon "myenteric plexus" is dissected from the bowel wall after labeling with a live cell dye and then frozen in OCT. 2) Frozen "myenteric plexus" is sectioned on a cryostat to generate small fragments and disrupt muscle and connective tissue. 3) RNA quality is assessed from a few sections using an Agilent Bioanalyzer. 4) Nuclei are obtained from frozen sections using Dounce homogenization and labeled with Hoechst 33342 dye. 5). Nuclei are separated from other cell debris by FACS. 6) RNA-seq data were obtained using the 10X Genomic single cell sequencing platform.RESULTS: Live dye labeling works well on living tissue to visualize the ENS in human colon. Careful dissection is required to micro-dissect "myenteric plexus" from from within bowel wall muscle layers. A suspension of single nuclei is efficiently isolated by freezing isolated tissue in OCT, frozen sectioning, Dounce homogenizing, and FACS sorting Hoechst 33342 stained nuclei. The isolated nuclei are suitable for sequencing on the 10X Genomics single cell sequencing platform. This procedure dramatically enriched for cells in the region of the myenteric plexus, but unfortunately only a small percentage of the cells isolated are myenteric neurons. In addition to myenteric neurons, we obtained data from enteric glia, smooth muscle, muscularis macrophage, interstitial cells of Cajal, and PDGFRalpha+ cells that are known to be closely associated with myenteric plexus.CONCLUSION: We tried many approaches to optimize this procedure including additional steps to enrich for myenteric neuron nuclei. These additional procedures invariably reduced total cell yield without enriching significantly for neuronal nuclei. We do not know yet why neuronal nuclei remain a small component of our total nuclei population, but suspect that neuronal nuclei are more fragile than other nuclei isolated. This approach generated valuable data at a single nucleus RNA-seq level for all cell types within the muscle wall known to control bowel motility. | Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania | 1 | 2021 | Christina M Wright, Robert O Heuckeroth 2021.

Processing Human Colon muscle layers for Single Nuclei RNA-seq using PHOX2B antibody immunoselection Resource Report Resource Website |
Christina M Wright, Robert O Heuckeroth | DOI:10.17504/protocols.io.w3afgie | SPARC | ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: The human enteric nervous system (ENS) is a complex network of neurons and glia that extends throughout the length of the bowel. There are many neuron and glia types, but very little is known about the human ENS compared to other species. There are two main ENS layers. The myenteric plexus neurons are clustered into ganglia with thick nerve fiber bundles running between ganglia. Submucosal neuron ganglia are scattered throughout the region between circular muscle and the epithelial lining of the bowel. One key problem with studying human ENS is that these cells are a very minor component of the bowel wall (< 1: 10,000 cells) and they are surrounded by other tissue. The bowel wall is not easily dissociated making it challenging to isolate cells of the human ENS for any type of analsysis. OBJECTIVES: To enrich for neurons from human colon myenteric plexus using PHOX2B antibody and FACS METHODS: 1) Human colon muscle was dissected from the bowel wall and then frozen in OCT. 2) Frozen muscle was sectioned on a cryostat to generate small fragments and disrupt muscle and connective tissue. 3) RNA quality was assessed from a few sections using an Agilent Bioanalyzer. 4) Nuclei were obtained from frozen sections using Dounce homogenization and stained with antibody to PHOX2B. 5). Nuclei were separated from other cell debris by FACS. 6) RNA-seq data were obtained using the 10X Genomic single cell sequencing platform. RESULTS: This procedure worked well to isolate nuclei from human colon muscle. PHOX2B antibody labeling led to a small population of nuclei that appeared to be antibody stained under the microscope and have attached antibody by FACS. Unfortunately, single nucleus RNA-seq demonstrated that we had not enriched for myenteric neurons with this approach. RNA-seq data were obtained from many other cell types within the muscle layers of the bowel wall. CONCLUSION: This approach generated valuable data at a single nucleus RNA-seq level for many cell types within the muscle wall known to control bowel motility, but did not enrich for neuronal nuclei, even though PHOX2B antibody selectively stains myenteric plexus nuclei within the human bowel myenteric plexus | Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania | 1 | 2021 | Christina M Wright, Robert O Heuckeroth 2021.
