The usefulness of the whole-tissue transcriptome analysis could be dampened, especially when studying complex heterogeneous tissues. How to obtain cell-type-specific RNAs becomes an urgent need to unleash the powerful RNA-seq technique. The isolation of cell-type-specific RNAs usually relies on the collection of a specific type of cells using micromanipulation, fluorescent-activated cell sorting (FACS), or laser capture microdissection (LCM)18. Other modern high-throughput single-cell collection m...

High-throughput approaches, including RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) and microarray, have made it possible to interrogate gene expression profiles at the genome-wide level. For complex tissues such as the heart, brain, and testis, the cell-type-specific data will provide more details comparing the use of RNAs from the whole tissue1,2,3. To overcome the impact of cellular heterogeneity, the Translating Ribosome Affinity Purification (TRAP) method has been developed since early 2010s4. TRAP is able to isolate ribosome-bound RNAs from specific cell types without tissue dissociation. This method has been used for translatome (mRNAs that are being recruited to the ribosome for translation) analysis in different organisms, including targeting an extremely rare population of muscle cells in Drosophila embryos5, studying different root cells in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana6, and performing transcriptome analysis of endothelial cells in mammals7.
TRAP requires a genetic modification to tag the ribosome of a model organism. Evan Rosen and colleagues recently developed a mouse model called Nuclear tagging and Translating Ribosome Affinity Purification (NuTRAP) mouse8, which has been available through the Jackson Laboratory since 2017. By crossing with a Cre mouse line, researchers can use this NuTRAP mouse model to isolate ribosome-bound RNAs and cell nuclei from Cre-expressing cells without cell sorting. In Cre-expressing cells that also carry the NuTRAP allele, the EGFP/L10a tagged ribosome allows the isolation of translating mRNAs using affinity pulldown assays. At the same cell, the biotin ligase recognition peptide (BLRP)-tagged nuclear membrane, which is also mCherry positive, allows the nuclear isolation by using affinity- or fluorescence-based purification. The same research team also generated a similar mouse line in which the nuclear membrane is labeled only with mCherry without biotin8. These two genetically modified mouse lines give access to characterize paired epigenomic and transcriptomic profiles of specific types of cells in interest.
The hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway plays a critical role in tissue development9. GLI1, a member of the GLI family, acts as a transcriptional activator and mediates the Hh signaling. Gli1+ cells can be found in many hormone-secreting organs, including the adrenal gland and the testis. To isolate cell-type-specific DNAs and RNAs from Gli1+ cells using the NuTRAP mouse model, Gli1-CreERT2 mice were crossed with the NuTRAP mice. Shh-CreERT2 mice were also crossed with the NuTRAP mice aim to isolate sonic hedgehog (Shh) expressing cells. The following protocol shows how to use Gli1-CreERT2;NuTRAP mice to isolate ribosome-bound RNAs from Gli1+ cells in adult mouse testes.

isolate cell-type-specific rnas from snap-frozen heterogeneous tissue samples without cell sorting

Cellular heterogeneity poses challenges to understanding the function of complex tissues at a transcriptome level. Using cell-type-specific RNAs avoids potential pitfalls caused by the heterogeneity of tissues and unleashes the powerful transcriptome analysis. The protocol described here demonstrates how to use the Translating Ribosome Affinity Purification (TRAP) method to isolate ribosome-bound RNAs from a small amount of EGFP-expressing cells in a complex tissue without cell sorting. This protocol is suitable for isolating cell-type-specific RNAs using the recently available NuTRAP mouse model and could also be used to isolate RNAs from any EGFP-expressing cells.

Gli1-CreERT2 mouse (Jackson Lab Stock Number: 007913) were first crossed with the NuTRAP reporter mouse (Jackson Lab Stock Number: 029899) to generate double-mutant mice. Mice carrying both genetically engineered gene alleles (i.e., Gli1-CreERT2&#160;and NuTRAP) were injected with tamoxifen once a day, every other day, for three injections. Tissue samples were collected on the 7th day after the 1st day of the injection. Immunofluorescence analysis sho...
