Emerging techniques for mapping mRNAs within the subcellular compartments of live cells hold great promise for advancing our understanding of the spatial distribution of transcripts and enabling the study of single-cell dynamics in health and disease. This is particularly critical for polarized cells, such as neurons, where mRNA compartmentalization is essential for regulating gene expression, and defects in these localization mechanisms are linked to numerous neurological disorders. However, many subcellular analysis techniques require a compromise between subcellular precision, live-cell measurements, and nondestructive access to single cells in their native microenvironment. To overcome these challenges, we employ a single-cell technology that we have recently developed, the nanotweezer, which features a nanoscale footprint (∼100 nm), avoids cytoplasmic fluid aspiration, and enables rapid RNA isolation from living cells with minimal invasiveness. Using this tool, we investigate single-cell mRNA compartmentalization in the soma and dendrites of hippocampal neurons at different stages of neuronal development. By combining precise targeting with sequential sampling, we track changes in mRNA abundance at dendritic spine regions of the same neuron, both before and after stimulation. This minimally invasive approach enables time-resolved, subcellular gene expression profiling of the same single cell. This could provide critical insights into polarized cells and advance our understanding of biological processes and complex diseases.
