Single cell sequencing of fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) isolated from hind paws of Col6a1-cre Bmal1-flox PER2::LUC mice

Fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) were isolated from the hind paws of Col6a1-cre Bmal1-flox PER2::LUC mice for single cell sequencing to determine the effect of Bmal1 knockout on FLS cell function. FLS cells were isolated from joint digests by selection for Podoplanin expression, then fixed and barcoded for single cell transcriptomic analysis using a split-pool ligation-based transcriptomic sequencing (SPLiT-seq) approach.
