Single-cell RNA sequencing of bronchoscopy specimens : development of a rapid minimal handling protocol

Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) is an important tool for understanding disease pathophysiology, including airway diseases. Currently, the majority of scRNA-seq studies in airway diseases have used invasive methods (airway biopsy, surgical resection), which carry inherent risks and thus present a major limitation to scRNA-seq investigation of airway pathobiology. Bronchial brushing, where the airway mucosa is sampled using a cytological brush, is a viable, less invasive method of obtaining airway cells for scRNA-seq. Here we describe the development of a rapid and minimal handling protocol for preparing single-cell suspensions from bronchial brush specimens for scRNA-seq. Our optimized protocol maximizes cell recovery and cell quality and facilitates large-scale profiling of the airway transcriptome at single-cell resolution.
