scRNAseq of mouse colorectal organoids in FOLFIRI tratment

The aim of the experiment is to elucidate changes in tumor heterogeneity upon chemotherapy treatment. The experiment includes non-treated samples, samples right after chemotherapy treatment (FOLFIRI) and organoids recovered from FOLFIRI. It was conducted in two different genetic backgrounds, AKP (Apc KO, KrasG12D and P53 KO) and APS (Apc KO, P53 and Smad4KO). In addition to that, the organoids carry an inducible Cre-ERT2 knock-in allele in the mex3a locus. Upon 4-OH-Tamoxifen induction, Mex3a cells will recombine the tracing allele stop-TdTomato, enabling the tracing of this subpopulation. To understand the fate of the traced cells, samples right after chemotherapy and in the recovery setting were sorted based on their tomato expression. This enables a single cell tracing experiment.
