Abstract

The striatum contributes to many cognitive processes and disorders, but its cell types are incompletely characterized. We show that microfluidic and FACS-based single-cell RNA sequencing of mouse striatum provides a well-resolved classification of striatal cell type diversity. Transcriptome analysis revealed ten differentiated, distinct cell types, including neurons, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, ependymal, immune, and vascular cells, and enabled the discovery of numerous marker genes. Furthermore, we identified two discrete subtypes of medium spiny neurons (MSNs) that have specific markers and that overexpress genes linked to cognitive disorders and addiction. We also describe continuous cellular identities, which increase heterogeneity within discrete cell types. Finally, we identified cell type-specific transcription and splicing factors that shape cellular identities by regulating splicing and expression patterns. Our findings suggest that functional diversity within a complex tissue arises from a small number of discrete cell types, which can exist in a continuous spectrum of functional states.

  • Some eSPN subsets share markers that earlier work used to distinguish SPN subtypes.

    “Subsets of the eSPN class share markers previously reported to distinguish SPN subtypes (Gökce et al., 2016).”

  • Some facets of cellular identity are transient in time and space, and temporal processes may progress along trajectories, oscillate, or be influenced by spatial position.

    “First, in contexts such as development and physiology, some facets of cellular identity are transient in time and space. Temporal processes may, for example, progress along one or more trajectories (e.g., differentiation); oscillate continuously between cellular states (e.g., the cell cycle98,99 or circadian rhythm100); or be influenced by the physical position and neighborhood of the cell71,93.”
  • The improved Smart-seq2 protocol has become widely used.

    “and this improved Smart-seq2 protocol (Picelli et al., 2014b) has also become widely used (Gokce et al., 2016; Reinius et al., 2016; Tirosh et al., 2016).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
