Project description:To study the role of distinct ATRX aberrations in neuroblastoma we created isogenic ATRX aberrant models using CRISPR-Cas9 in several neuroblastoma cell lines and one tumoroid. We created ATRX knock-out models, ATRX in-frame exon 2-10 deletions and ATRX in-frame exon 2-13 deletions. Additionally, we included patient-derived models data (i.e. cell line data and one tumoroid).
Project description:Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by massive neurodegeneration and multiple changes in cellular processes, including neurogenesis. Proteolytic processing of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) plays a central role in AD. Due to varying APP processing, several beta-amyloid peptides are generated. In contrast to the form with 40 amino acids, the variant with 42 amino acids is thought to be the pathogenic form triggering the pathophysiological cascade in AD. Here, we studied the transcriptomic response to increased or decreased Abeta42 levels generated in human neuroblastoma cells. Genome-wide expression profiles (Affymetrix)were used to analyze the cellular response to the changed Abeta42 and Abeta40-levels. <br><br>Human neuroblastoma cell line SH-SY5Y is a thrice cloned (SK-N-SH -> SH-SY -> SH-SY5 -> SH-SY5Y) subline of the neuroblastoma cell line SK-N-SH which was isolated and established in 1970. This cell line has 47 chromosomes. The cells possess a unique marker comprised of a chromosome 1 with a complex insertion of an additional copy of a 1q segment into the long arm, resulting in trisomy of 1q. The cell lines used in this study are SHSY5Y transfected with the constructs pCEP-C99I45F, pCEP-C99V50F, pCEP-C99 wildtype or mock transfected with an empty vector. Independent cell clones of each transfected line were used to provide biological replicates.<br> Overexpressed C99 I45F is intracellularly cleaved resulting in high Abeta42, but low Abeta40 levels.<br> Overexpressed C99V50F is intracellularly cleaved resulting in low Abeta42, but high Abeta40 levels.<br>Overexpressed C99 wildtype is intracellularly cleaved resulting in medium Abeta42 and Abeta40 levels<br>Mock is the SHSY5Y cell line transfected with the empty vector pCEP (Invitrogen) as a negative control

Project description:Aim: to detect genes that are differentially transcribed in neuronal cells(SK-N-SH) over-expressing either of the two MECP2 isoforms, MECP2_e1 or MECP2_e2. Methods: the human neuroblastoma cell line SK-N-SH was stably infected by lentiviral vectors over-expressing MECP2_e1, MECP2_e2, or eGFP, and were then differentiated into neurons. RNA extracted, and used for gene expression microarray analysis
Project description:Neuroblastoma is a solid pediatric tumor with heterogeneous clinical behaviors. Chemotherapy is widely used to treat neuroblastoma. However, dose-dependent responses and chemoresistance mechanisms of neuroblastoma cells to anticancer drugs remain challenges in various conditions. Here, we investigated the dose-dependent effects of topotecan on human neuroblastoma cells (SK-N-SH, SH-SY5Y, and SK-N-BE) under various nutrient supply conditions. Serum-starved human neuroblastoma cells showed reduced toxicity, and their survival rate increased upon treatment with a high concentration (1 μM) of topotecan. Quantitative profiling of global and phosphoproteome identified 12,959 proteins and 48,812 phosphosites, respectively, from SK-N-SH cells. Network analysis revealed that topotecan up-regulated DNA repair and cholesterol-mediated topotecan efflux, resulting in topotecan resistance. Results of DNA damage assay, cell cycle, and quantitative analyses of membrane cholesterol supported the validity of these resistance factors and their applicability to all neuroblastoma cells investigated in this study. Our results provide a model for high dose-dependent chemoresistance in neuroblastoma cells that could enable a patient-dependent chemotherapy screening strategy.
Project description:To study how miR-124 and VAMP3 may regulate human neuroblastoma, thee human neuroblastoma cell line SK-N-SH were transiently transfected to overexpress miR-124 or VAMP3, and total RNA was isolated 48 hours after transfection and subject to RNA-seq.
Project description:The SH-SY5Y Human neuroblastoma cell line was subcloned from the SK-N-SH cell line, which has been isolated from a bone marrow biopsy of a 4 year-old female patient. To examine the transcriptional regulation by ERRα and ERRγ in human neuronal cells, we investigated chromatin binding regions of ERRαlpha and ERRγ genome-wide in the SH-SY5Y cells. We detected thier target genes, which were largely overlap.

Project description:The SH-SY5Y Human neuroblastoma cell line was subcloned from the SK-N-SH cell line, which has been isolated from a bone marrow biopsy of a 4 year-old female patient. To examine the overall distribution of gene expression under stress condition in human neuronal cells, we investigated changes in the transcriptome profiles in the SH-SY5Y cells depleted with ERRαlpha and ERRgamma by gene knockdown. We detected changes in the expression levels for several genes.
