Project description:Affymetrix microarray data was generated from MCF7 breast cancer cells treated in vitro with siRNAs against estrogen receptor alpha (ESR1). Gene expresion of estrogen receptor alpha (ESR1) was knocked down in MCF7 breast cancer cells using siRNA. Then the gene expression profiles of these MCF7 cells, along with non-targetting control treated cells were analysed using Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 microarrays.
Project description:Laser based transfection methods have proven to be an efficient and gentle alternative to established molecule delivery methods like lipofection or electroporation. Among the laser based methods, gold nanoparticle mediated laser transfection bears the major advantage of high throughput and easy usability. This approach uses plasmon resonances on gold nanoparticles unspecifically attached to the cell membrane to evoke transient and spatially defined cell membrane permeabilization. In this study, we explore the parameter regime for gold nanoparticle mediated laser transfection for the delivery of molecules into cell lines and prove its suitability for siRNA mediated gene knock down. The developed setup allows easy usage and safe laser operation in a normal lab environment. We applied a 532 nm Nd:YAG microchip laser emitting 850 ps pulses at a repetition rate of 20.25 kHz. Scanning velocities of the laser spot over the sample of up to 200 mm/s were tested without a decline in perforation efficiency. This velocity leads to a process speed of ?8 s per well of a 96 well plate. The optimal particle density was determined to be ?6 particles per cell using environmental scanning electron microscopy. Applying the optimized parameters transfection efficiencies of 88% were achieved in canine pleomorphic adenoma ZMTH3 cells using a fluorescent labeled siRNA while maintaining a high cell viability of >90%. Gene knock down of d2-EGFP was demonstrated and validated by fluorescence repression and western blot analysis. On basis of our findings and established mathematical models we suppose a mixed transfection mechanism consisting of thermal and multiphoton near field effects. Our findings emphasize that gold nanoparticle mediated laser transfection provides an excellent tool for molecular delivery for both, high throughput purposes and the transfection of sensitive cells types.

Project description:Affymetrix microarray data were generated from A375 melanoma cells treated in vitro with siRNAs against 45 transcription factors and signalling molecules. 45 functionally important molecules were knocked down in A375 melanoma cells by siRNA. Then the gene expression profiles of these A375 cells, along with untreated cells and sRNA control treated cells were analysed by microarrays.
Project description:Affymetrix microarray data was generated from MCF7 breast cancer cells treated in vitro with siRNAs against 78 transcription factors and signalling molecules. Gene expresion of 78 functionally important molecules were knocked down in MCF7 breast cancer cells using siRNA. Then the gene expression profiles of these MCF7 cells, along with untreated cells and non-targetting control (SICONTROL) treated cells were analysed using microarrays.
Project description:Six1, Six4 and Myogenin are transcription factors that are known to be required for skeletal myogenesis. Currently, very little is known about the genes targeted by Six1 and Six4. Gene expression profiling when one or both transcription factors were knock-down by siRNA was performed to identify genes affected by their absence. We also hypothesized that Six1 and Six4 can work in cooperation with the myogenic regulatory factor (MRFs) family of transcription factors, such as Myogenin. Therefore, we performed the same type of experiment where the myogenin was knocked-down by siRNA to identify genes that are possibly regulated by the Six1 or Six4 in conjunction with Myogenin.
Project description:Aldehyde dehydrogenase isozymes ALDH1A1 and ALDH3A1 are highly expressed in non small cell cell lung cancer. Neither the mechanism nor the biological significance for such over expression have been studied. We used microarrays to analyze changes in A549 lung cancer cell line in which ALDH activity was reduced using lentiviral mediated expression of siRNA against both isozymes (Lenti 1+3) Experiment Overall Design: A549 lung cancer cell lines were transduced with lentiviral vectors containing specific siRNA sequences against ALDH1A1, ALDH3A1, both vectors (Lenti 1+3 cells), and against the green flourescent protein (GFP) gene (GFP cells, used as control).
