Dissociation protocols used for sarcoma tissues bias the transcriptome observed in single-cell and single-nucleus RNA sequencing | BMC Cancer

Single-cell and single-nucleus RNA sequencing of sarcoma subtypes In this work, we studied sarcomas from varying tissue origins, including osteosarcoma (OS), Ewing sarcoma (ES), and desmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT) (Fig. 1). We used different dissociation protocols: Miltenyi Tumor Dissociation Kit, cold-active protease derived from Bacillus licheniformis, and Nuclei EZ…

Combined scRNAseq and Bulk RNAseq Analysis to Reveal the Dual Roles of Oxidative Stress-Related Genes in Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Background. Oxidative stress (OS) can either lead to leukemogenesis or induce tumor cell death by inflammation and immune response accompanying the process of OS through chemotherapy. However, previous studies mainly focus on the level of OS state and the salient factors leading to tumorigenesis and progression of acute myeloid leukemia…
