After the determination of the nuclei suspension concentration, the suitable volume of nonsorted and sorted nuclei was calculated for a target cell recovery of 6000 and 3000 nuclei, respectively.
Samples were loaded on the 10 × Genomics single-cell-A chip (PN-no. 120236) and run on the Chromium System (Chromium Controller GCG-SR-1, 10 × Genomics).
After droplet generation and reverse transcription, the cDNA was recovered and amplified for 12 cycles. The samples where run on a High Sensitivity D1000 ScreenTape on the TapeStation (Agilent Technologies) and measured on the Qubit to determine the cDNA concentration.

RNA from 30mg of minced and frozen adipose tissue samples (Table 2C) was homogenized using a bead-based micro-blender with in QIAzol lysis reagent (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany for 5 min at 4°C followed by centrifugation for 10min at 4°C and 12,000 rpm to separate lipid layer from aqueous extract. Phase separation was initiated by adding 100 µl chloroform. After 15 min of centrifugation at 12,000 rpm and 4°C, RNA was precipitated from the upper clear phase with 250 µl of isopropanol. RNA was purified with 500 µl of 75% ethanol, dried and solubilized in 30 µl sterile-filtered water treated with di-ethyl-pyrocarbonate (DEPC). Purified RNA was reversely transcribed into cDNA using a high-capacity cDNA reverse transcription kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Dreieich, Germany). Quantitative real-time PCR was performed using Maxima SYBR Green/ROX qPCR Master Mix (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Dreieich Germany) on a CFX384 Touch instrument (Bio-Rad, Munich, Germany). Primers were designed as intron spanning sequences to specifically amplify cDNA (primer sequences: Supplementary Table S1). The mRNA expression levels were determined using the 2^(–ΔΔCT) method and normalized to mRNA levels of human beta actin (hACTB) as housekeeping gene.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
