Scleroderma Architecture Cell Lines

ABSTRACT: The data from these cell lines is described in figure 2 of the mansucript "Systemic and cell-type specific gene expression patterns in scleroderam skin" by Whitfield et al. (2003) PNAS. Aortic smooth muscle cells and microvascular endothelial cells were obtained from Clonetics and cultured in the recommended media; Hs578T myofibroblast-like cells were grown in RPMI-1640 supplemented with phenol red, glutamine (2 mM) and 5% fetal calf serum; HeLa S3 epithelial cells were obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) and cultured as described in Whitfield et al., MBC, (2002). Normal, morphea and scleroderma fibroblasts were derived from normal, morphea and scleroderma skin biopsies taken by Dr. Kari Connolly at UCSF. In all cases, RNA was prepared from cells 48 hrs after changing the culture media to avoid the induction of serum responsive genes. Poly(A) RNA from each cell line was reverse-transcribed into Cy5-dUTP (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech, Piscataway NJ) labeled cDNA and reference RNA reverse-transcribed into Cy3-dUTP (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech, Piscataway NJ) labeled cDNA using standard methods. Cells grown in culture were analyzed on cDNA microarrays containing 40,512 elements representing 28,384 UniGene clusters (UniGene Build No. 155, released 9-28-2002) manufactured in the Stanford Microarray Facility (http://www.microarray.org). Equal amounts of Cy5- and Cy3-labeled cDNA were hybridized to spotted cDNA microarrays and scanned using a GenePix 4000A Scanner (Axon Instruments, Union City CA). Detailed protocols are available at http://brownlab.stanford.edu/protocols.html/. Data were extracted by superimposing a grid over each array using GenePix 3.0 software (Axon Instruments, Union City CA). Spots of poor quality, determined by visual inspection, were excluded from further analysis. A cell type comparison design experiment design type compares cells of different type for example different cell lines. Keywords: cell_type_comparison_design

Project description:Cell lines. TK6 and WTK1 are EBV-immortalized human lymphoblastoid cell lines that have been derived from the same donor. TK6 cells bear wild-type TP53 tumor suppressor, while WTK1 cells bear a mutant TP53 containing a C-to-T transition in exon 7, resulting in a change of Met to Ile at codon 237, and coding for a functionally inactive protein. Cells were maintained in exponentially growing suspension culture at 37ºC in a humidified, 5% CO2 atmosphere in RPMI medium1640 supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated calf serum, 100 units/ml penicillin, 100 mg/ml streptomycin, and 2 mM L-glutamine. Stock cells were subcultured and maintained at a density not greater than 1.5 x 106 cells per ml in 150-mm dishes throughout experiments. NO treatment. Cells at a density of 4 x 105 cells per ml in 100 ml of custom RPMI 1640 medium without calcium nitrate (GIBCO) and calf serum were exposed to pure NO gas (Matheson, Gloucester, MA) by diffusion through Silastic tubing (0.025 in. ID, 0.047 in OD, Dow Corning, Midland, MI) delivery system. NO diffuses through this permeable membrane at a constant rate, and was delivered through 30 cm-long tubing into the medium of well-stirred cell suspensions for 2 h. Cells similarly exposed to argon gas served as negative controls. Total dose (and rate) of NO delivered under these conditions was 390 mmol (533 nM/s), calculated from nitrite plus nitrate content of the medium as determined by automated analysis using the Griess reagent [N-(1-napthy)-ethylenediamine and sulfanilic acid]. At the end of treatment, cells were collected by centrifugation, washed once, resuspended in fresh culture medium containing 10% heat inactivated calf serum, and incubated at 37 ºC. At the indicated times, cells were washed in cold phosphate-buffered saline, harvested and stored at -80 ºC for RNA extraction. cDNA microarray hybridization and analysis. Cells were lysed with Trizol reagent (INVITROGEN, Carlsbad, CA), and total RNA was extracted according to the manufacturer's instructions at 0, 6, 12, and 24h after NO treatment. Fluorescently-labeled cDNA probes were generated using 40 µg of total RNA by a single round of reverse transcription in the presence of aminoallyl-dUTP (SIGMA, St. Louis, MO), followed by a coupling reaction to Cy3 or Cy5 monofunctional NHS-ester (Amersham Pharmacia, Piscataway, NJ). Complex probes (containing untreated (time 0) Cy3-labeled cDNA and NO or argon-treated Cy5-labeled cDNA) were denatured and hybridized to glass slides featuring 9, 180 cDNA clones based on the Hs Unigene build #131 platform (GPL 257), and printed by the NCI Microarray Facility, Advanced Technology Center, Gaithersburg, MD. Upon overnight incubation at 42 ºC, the slides were washed successively in 1 X SSC/ 0.1% SDS, 1 X SSC and 0.2 X SSC for 2 min each, then rinsed in 0.5 X SSC and spin-dried. The two fluorescent intensities were measured simultaneously using a GenePix 4000A scanner, and the acquired image was processed with GenePix Pro 3.0 software (Axon Instruments, Union City, CA).

Project description:Cows were selected from two groups of 12 cows enrolled in a large experiment to assess the effects of ad libitum or restricted intake of moderate-energy diets during the entire dry period on pre-partum metabolism and post-partum metabolism and performance. A corn silage-based diet (26% of diet dry matter) providing 1.59 Mcal/kg during the far-off dry period (first 5 wk of an 8-wk dry period) or providing 1.61 Mcal/kg during the close-up dry period (last 3 wk of the dry period) was fed for ad libitum or restricted intake. Four multiparous Holstein cows were randomly selected from the ad libitum and restricted intake groups. A 7,872-element cDNA microarray spotted in duplicate on amino silane-coated glass slides (Everts et al. 2005, Vet. Immunol. Immunopathol. 105:235-245) was used for transcript profiling. Annotation was based on similarity searches (January, 2005) using sequential BLASTN and TBLASTX against human and mouse UniGene databases and the human genome. The 7,872-element array represents more than 6,300 unique genes. Gene Ontology (GO) terms were parsed from LocusLink to functionally annotate cDNA sequences. RNA (20 ug) from liver tissue and a reference standard derived from a mixture of tissues not including liver were used to make aminoallyl-labeled cDNA followed by incorporation of Cy3-ester and Cy5-ester (Amersham, Piscataway, NJ). Each experimental sample was co-hybridized with the reference standard, which allowed the treatment of fluorescence ratios as measurements of relative expression across all samples and time points. Probes were hybridized to the array for 2 days at 42 C. All samples were hybridized to duplicate slides for a total of 4 spots per cDNA element. A total of 106 microarrays were run to complete the experiment. Slides were scanned for both dye channels with a Scanarray 4000 (GSI-Lumonics, Billerica, MA) dual-laser confocal scanner and images were processed using GenePix 4.0 (Axon Instruments, Inc., CA).
