This protocol presents an efficient workflow for single-molecule localization microscopy imaging of isolated Arabidopsis nuclei, using optimized isolation, fixation, and labeling to achieve reliable nanoscale visualization of chromatin and RNA Polymerase II. This approach can be readily adapted to other chromatin-associated proteins or histone modifications for high-resolution imaging.

Coronary endarterectomy tissue samples were processed to isolate single nuclei using an optimized dissociation protocol. The integrity of the isolated nuclei was validated through three complementary approaches: trypan blue exclusion staining to assess membrane integrity, DAPI-based confocal microscopy to confirm nuclear morphology, and flow cytometry to quantify nuclear yield and purity.

The success of single-cell/single-nuclei transcriptomics and multi-omics largely depends on the quality of cells/nuclei. Therefore, isolating cells/nuclei from tissue and their purification must be highly standardized. This protocol describes the preparation of nuclei from the brain and bone marrow for downstream single-nuclei multiome assay.
FAQs
Mechanical disruption breaks the tissue into smaller fragments, while the cell lysis buffer helps release nuclei from disrupted cells. Using both steps addresses the physical structure of complex tissue rather than relying on membrane preservation. Their combined action creates material that can proceed to filtration and, when appropriate, centrifugation for further cleanup.
The approach reduces problems caused by fragile cell membranes, extracellular matrix, and challenging tissue samples. Because the preparation focuses on nuclei rather than complete cells, it can support molecular profiling when intact-cell recovery is unreliable. This makes it particularly relevant for samples in which tissue handling or preservation limits conventional cellular analysis.
Filtration helps remove larger tissue fragments and debris from the disrupted material, while centrifugation can further remove debris and enrich the nuclei fraction. These cleanup steps also support a clean, evenly dispersed suspension. Such uniformity is important because downstream molecular assays require nuclei to be available as a consistent preparation rather than as irregular aggregates.
A typical workflow begins with mechanical disruption of the tissue, followed by treatment with a cell lysis buffer to release nuclei. The resulting material is filtered to remove debris and may then be centrifuged to enrich the preparation. The cleaned nuclei are maintained in a liquid medium as an evenly dispersed suspension for molecular analysis.
Researchers may choose Single Nuclei Suspension when intact cells are difficult to obtain or preserve, including samples affected by fragile membranes, extracellular matrix, or other tissue-handling challenges. The preparation is also useful for complex or archived tissues. It allows molecular studies to proceed even when recovery of complete, viable cells is limited.
These preparations support single-nucleus RNA sequencing, chromatin accessibility assays, and other genomic studies. The resulting data can help researchers examine cell-type-specific gene regulation across complex or archived tissues. In biology, this connects sample preparation with questions about which cell populations are present and how their regulatory programs differ.
