Outline of Final Research Achievements |
For tissue-specific gene expression and epigenomics analysis, specific cell populations from individuals and organs must be "isolated" with high purity. However, laser microdissection is difficult to isolate small cell populations, and cell sorting inevitably causes damage when cells are suspended by enzymatic treatment. In this study, we developed a completely new method, Photo-Isolation Chemistry, which is different from such "sorting," and succeeded in transcriptome analysis limited to the photo-irradiaterd area.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
ROIに対するUV照射の分解能は、光学限界のサブミクロンオーダーまで高められる。したがって1細胞レベルのROIに照射できるうえ、特定のオルガネラに局在する転写産物も分離できる。本手法は、caged オリゴDNAさえあればだれでも実験できるため、急速に普及することが期待される。また、本研究提案の根幹技術はATAC-seqやChIL-seqにも適用できると考えられるため、将来、組織特異的なエピゲノミクスデータを取得できると期待される。
