Using intracellular SCGB1A1-sorted, formalin-fixed club cells for successful transcriptomic analysis

Résumé

As opposed to surface marker staining, certain cell types can only be recognized by intracellular markers. Intracellular staining for use in cell sorting remains challenging. Fixation and permeabilization steps for intracellular staining and the presence of RNases notably affect preservation of high-quality mRNA. We report the work required for the optimization of a successful protocol for microarray analysis of intracellular target-sorted, formalin-fixed human bronchial club cells. Cells obtained from differentiated air-liquid interface cultures were stained with the most characteristic intracellular markers for club cell (SCGB1A1+) sorting. A benchmarked intracellular staining protocol was carried out before flow cytometry. The primary outcome was the extraction of RNA sufficient quality for microarray analysis as assessed by Bioanalyzer System. Fixation with 4% paraformaldehyde coupled with 0.1% Triton/0.1% saponin permeabilization obtained optimal results for SCGB1A1 staining. Addition of RNase inhibitors throughout the protocol and within the appropriate RNA extraction kit (Formalin-Fixed-Paraffin-Embedded) dramatically improved RNA quality, resulting in samples eligible for microarray analysis. The protocol resulted in successful cell sorting according to specific club cell intracellular marker without using cell surface marker. The protocol also preserved RNA of sufficient quality for subsequent microarray transcriptomic analysis, and we were able to generate transcriptomic signature of club cells.
