Paper
Single-Cell Simultaneous Metabolome and Transcriptome Profiling Revealing Metabolite-Gene Correlation NetworkAdvanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany) · 2025
Summary (written by the submitters)
Metabolic studies at single cell level could directly define the cellular phenotype closest to physiological or disease states. However, the current single cell metabolome (SCM) study using mass spectroscopy has the difficulty to give a complete view of the metabolic activity in the cell, while the prediction of metabolism-phenotype relationship is limited by the potential inconsistency between transcriptomic and metabolic levels.
Read the full summary ↓
Here, single-cell simultaneous metabolome and transcriptome profiling method (scMeT-seq) is developed, based on sub-picoliter sampling from the cell for the initial metabolome profiling followed by single cell transcriptome sequencing. This design does not only provide sufficient cytoplasm for SCM, but also nicely keeps the cellular viability for the accurate transcriptomic analysis in the same cell. Diverse relationships between the two omics are revealed in macrophages with the stimulation of lactate and lactate transporter (MCT1) antagonist. Moreover, we mapped metabolite states to the single-cell differentiation trajectory and gene correlation network of macrophages, which allows the unsupervised functional interpretation of metabolome. Thus, the established scMeT-seq should lead to a new perspective in metabolic research by transforming metabolomics from metabolite snapshot to functional approach.

Download · which file do I need?

Direct links to NCBI and ENA, no account and no request form. Pick by what you want to do: take the small processed table to look, the supplementary files to re-analyse, or the original raw data to start over.

1 · Just have a look

Processed table

The series matrix: one table of values per sample as the submitters processed it. The smallest download, and it opens in Excel or R. Start here to see what the data look like.

2 · Re-analyse it

Supplementary files

The count tables and other files the authors uploaded. Take only the samples you need, or the whole study as GSE270852_RAW.tar (it can run to tens of gigabytes).

3 · Start from the raw reads

Raw sequencing reads

The original FASTQ files, straight from the sequencer, held at ENA. Large, and you align them yourself, so only choose this if you need to re-process the study from scratch.

What the files usually look like: Single-cell studies usually ship their counts as 10x files (matrix.mtx, barcodes.tsv, features.tsv), an .h5 file, or an .rds / .h5ad object that Seurat or Scanpy can open. Look for those among the supplementary files.

Also filed as BioProject PRJNA1128632 and SRA study SRP516368. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.
