Breast cancer arises from breast epithelial cells that acquire genetic alterations leading to subsequent loss of tissue homeostasis. Several distinct epithelial subpopulations have been proposed, but complete understanding of the spectrum of heterogeneity and differentiation hierarchy in the human breast remains elusive. Here, we used single-cell mRNA sequencing (scRNAseq) to profile the transcriptomes of 25,790 primary human breast epithelial cells isolated from reduction mammoplasties of seven individuals. Unbiased clustering analysis reveals the existence of three distinct epithelial cell populations, one basal and two luminal cell types, which we identify as secretory L1- and hormone-responsive L2-type cells. Pseudotemporal reconstruction of differentiation trajectories produc one continuous lineage hierarchy that closely connects the basal lineage to the two differentiated luminal branches. Our comprehensive cell atlas provides novel insights into cellular blueprint of the human breast epithelium and will form the foundation to understand how the system goes awry during breast cancer. Overall design: Microfluidics-enabled Single Cell RNA sequencing libraries were generated for 3 adult human women using the Fluidigm C1 and sequenced on the Illumina HighSeq 2500

Viable organoids were thawed and washed using DMEM, and digested with 0.05% trypsin (Corning 25-052-CI) containing DNase (Sigma Aldrich D4263-5VL) to generate single cell suspension. Cells were stained for FACS using fluorescently labeled antibodies for CD31 (eBiosciences 48-0319-42), CD45 (eBiosciences 48-9459-42), EpCAM (eBiosciences 50-9326-42), CD49f (eBiosciences 12-0495-82), SytoxBlue (Life Technologies S34857). We only proceeded with samples showing at least 80% viability as measured using SytoxBlue in FACS Sorted cells were washed and resuspended at a concentration of approximately 500 cells/Âµl. For microfluidics-enabled scRNAseq, cell suspensions were mixed with Fluidigm C1 Suspension Reagents (Fluidigm 100-5315) at a ratio of 8:2 before loading mix onto C1 chip (Fluidigm 100-5760). Bright field images of captured cells were collected using a Keyence BZ-X710 microscope (Keyence Corporation, Itasca, Illinois, USA). Single-cell RNA isolation and amplification were performed using the Fluidigm C1 Single Cell Auto Prep IFC following the Fluidigm Protocol: 100-7168 I1. RNA spike-in controls were omitted. cDNA library preparation were performed following the Fluidigm C1 Protocol: 100-7168 I1. Reagents Kits v2 User Guide: CG00052 Rev B.     Quantification of cDNA libraries was performed using Qubit dsDNA HS Assay Kit (Life Technologies Q32851) and high-sensitivity DNA chips (Agilent. 5067-4626). Quantification of library construction was performed using KAPA qPCR (Kapa Biosystems KK4824). For microfluidics-enabled scRNAseq libraries, we generally multiplexed 96 cells per lane on an Illumina HiSeq2500 resulting in a calculated depth of ~1.6 million reads per cell (Illumina Rapid PE kit v2 402-4002 and Rapid SBS kit v2 FC 401-4022).
