Article Title: Recapitulation of prostate tissue cell type-specific transcriptomes by an in vivo primary prostate tissue xenograft model
doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0233899
Figure Lengend Snippet: Volcano plot presentation of differential expression of two-way comparisons between cell types isolated from fresh prostate tissue (A-C) and from primary prostate tissue xenografts (D-F). Cell type specific genes identified in this study are highlighted in red, yellow, and blue for endothelial cell-specific (Endo), epithelial cell-specific (Epi), and stromal cell-specific (Stroma), respectively. The horizontal line indicates an adjusted p -value of 0.05. An upward arrow indicates a decrease in adjusted p -value while a downward arrow indicates an increase in adjusted p -value. The two vertical lines indicate a threshold of log 2 fold of difference of -1 (left) or +1 (right). Genes are considered significantly differentially expressed if they lie on or above the horizontal line with log 2 fold of difference ≤ -1or log 2 fold of difference ≥ 1. Percentage values indicate the percentage of the subset of identified cell type specific genes of a particular cell type that were significantly differentially expressed relative to the total number of cell type specific genes for that cell type for both positive log-fold of difference and negative log-fold of difference, on the right and left respectively. In comparisons of endothelial cells the genes CD31 (PECAM), CD34, VWF, and CD200 are indicated while in epithelial comparisons EPCAM, PSA (KLK3), PSMA (FOLH1), and CDH1are indicated.
Article Snippet: A total of 1.5 ml single cell suspension prepared from fresh prostate tissue or prostate tissue xenografts was mixed with magnetic beads conjugated with an antibody specific for the human endothelial cell surface marker CD31 (25μl of stock solution of 4x 10 8 beads per ml) from Thermo Fisher Scientific, and incubated at 4°C for 30 minutes.
