Differences in gene-expression profiles between individual cells can give rise to distinct cell fate decisions. Yet how localisation on a micropattern impacts initial changes in mRNA, protein, and phosphoprotein abundance remains unclear. To identify the effect of cellular position on gene expression, we developed a scalable antibody and mRNA targeting sequential fluorescence in situ hybridization (ARTseq-FISH) method capable of simultaneously profiling mRNAs, proteins, and phosphoproteins in single cells. We studied 67 (phospho-)protein and mRNA targets in individual mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) cultured on circular micropatterns. ARTseq-FISH reveals relative changes in both abundance and localization of mRNAs and (phospho-)proteins during the first 48 hours of exit from pluripotency. We confirm these changes by conventional immunofluorescence and time-lapse microscopy. Chemical labelling, immunofluorescence, and single-cell time-lapse microscopy further show that cells closer to the edge of the micropattern exhibit increased proliferation compared to cells at the centre. Together these data suggest that while gene expression is still highly heterogeneous position-dependent differences in mRNA and protein levels emerge as early as 12 hours after LIF withdrawal.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
