Project description:Assess gene expression patterns upon HOXA9 ectopic expression in U87MG GBM cell line and hTERT/E6/E7 immortalized human astrocytes, and HOXA9 silencing in U251 and GBML18 GBM cell lines. U87MG and hTERT/E6/E7 were retrovirally-infected with an MSCV control vector (MSCV-Control) or with a construct containing the coding region of HOXA9 (MSCV-HOXA9), resulting in U87MG-Control, U87MG-HOXA9, hTERT/E6/E7-Control and hTERT/E6/E7-HOXA9 cell lines. GBML18 and U251 cells were transfected with HOXA9 gene-specific shRNA sequences (shHOXA9) or a non-efective shRNA (shControl) in pGFP-V-RS plasmid, resulting in U251-shControl, U251-shHOXA9, GBML18-shControl and GBML18-shHOXA9 cell lines. Four experimental replicates for HOXA9 overexpression cell lines, and three for HOXA9 silencing cell lines were performed.

Project description:Gene methylation profiling of immortalized human mesenchymal stem cells comparing HPV E6/E7-transfected MSCs cells with human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT)- and HPV E6/E7-transfected MSCs. hTERT may increase gene methylation in MSCs. Goal was to determine the effects of different transfected genes on global gene methylation in MSCs.

Project description:The goal for this study was to determine the effects of ethanol on pancreas cells and examine how ethanol influences protein expression in non-transformed and mutant KRAS cells. We performed TMT-labeled proteomics of non-transformed (hTERT-HPNE E6/E7) and KRAS mutated (hTERT-HPNE E6/E7/K-RasG12D) human pancreas cell lines following 6 months of 100 mM ethanol treatment.
Project description:Ex vivo manufactured red blood cells (RBC) generated from immortalized erythroid cell lines which can semi-infinitely grow are expected to become a significant alternative in future transfusion therapies. To establish those cell lines, ectopic expression of human papilloma virus (HPV) E6/E7 gene has successfully been employed. In order to induce differentiation and maturation of the immortalized cell lines, terminating the HPV-E6/E7 expression through a gene induction system has been believed to be essential. Here we report that erythroid cell lines established from human bone marrow using simple overexpression of HPV-E6/E7 is capable of normal erythroid differentiation without turning the gene expression off. Newly established cell lines, Erythroid Lines from Lund University (ELLU), are able to differentiate towards mature cells including enucleated reticulocytes upon changing the culture condition but without terminating HPV-E6/E7 gene expression. ELLU cells are heterogeneous, and unexpectedly, clones expressing adult hemoglobin rapidly differentiate but produced cells are fragile while other clones with fetal hemoglobin start expressing adult hemoglobin upon differentiation and give rise to more mature cells. Our findings propose an alternative method to establish immortalized human erythroid cell lines and describe novel cellular characteristics for desired functionally competent clones.
