Abstract:We applied the patch-seq technique to harvest transcripts from individual microglial cells from cortex, hippocampus and corpus callosum of acute brain slices from adult mice. After recording membrane currents with the patch-clamp technique, the cytoplasm was collected via the pipette and underwent adapted SMART-seq2 preparation with subsequent sequencing. On average, 4138 genes were detected in 113 cells from hippocampus, corpus callosum and cortex, including microglia markers such as Tmem119, P2ry12 and Siglec-H. Comparing our dataset to previously published single cell mRNA sequencing data from FACS-isolated microglia indicated that two clusters of cells were absent in our patch-seq dataset. Pathway analysis of marker genes in FACS-specific clusters revealed association with microglial activation and stress response. This indicates that under normal conditions microglia in situ lack transcripts associated with a stress-response, and that the microglia-isolation procedure by mechanical dissociation and FACS triggers the expression of genes related to activation and stress.
