Expression of motor proteins in transgenic HeLa cell lines
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: We employed whole transcriptome microarray profiling to measure the expression of myosin and kinesin genes in multiple HeLa cell lines and confirm the expression of recombinantly-tagged BAC transgenes encoding motor genes. Normal and transfected HeLa cells grown to confluence were harvested for extraction of total RNA and microarray analysis
Project description:M. hominis adherence, colonisation and invasion of HeLa cells were characterised in a time-course study using microarray-based analysis of the HeLa cell transcriptome: 0 h to monitor the baseline of transcription, 4 h to examine host reactions to mycoplasma attachment, 48 h to capture in addition the initiation of invasion, and 2 weeks post infection to examine a chronically infected host cell. At 4 h post infection, cytoadherence of M. hominis to the HeLa cell surface was accompanied by differential regulation of 723 host genes (>2 fold change in expression). Genes associated with immune responses and signal transduction pathways were mainly affected and components involved in cell-cycle regulation, growth and death were highly upregulated. At 48 h post infection, when mycoplasma invasion started, 1588 host genes were differentially expressed and expression of genes for lysosome-specific proteins associated with bacterial lysis was detected. In a chronically infected HeLa cell line (2 weeks), of the 1972 regulated host genes, components of the ECM-receptor interaction pathway and phagosome-related integrins were markedly increased. The immune response was quite different to that at the beginning of infection, with a prominent induction of IL1B gene expression, affecting pathways of MAPK signalling, and genes connected with cytokine-cytokine interactions and apoptosis. These data show for the first time the complex, time-dependent reaction of the host directed at mycoplasmal clearance and the counter measures of this pestering pathogen. To elucidate the host-reactions at the different stages of M. hominis infection, four time points post infection (0h, 4h, 48h, 2 weeks) were chosen for microarray gene expression analyses. Total RNA was prepared from infection assays (MOI 100) in parallel with uninfected HeLa cells and the host cell transcriptomes were determined by comparative microarray analyses.
Project description:This study provides, for the first time, TIA1 and TIAR linked-transcriptomic analysis by using RNA-Seq next-generation sequencing technology. Illumina RNA-Seq was used to survey transcriptome profiles from permanent TIA1- and TIAR-(shRNA-mediated) deficient HeLa cells. Analysis of the transcriptomes with the Cufflinks tool revealed that differentially expressed genes, isoforms produced by alternative splicing and/or promoter usage as well as microRNAs generated a great transcriptomic heterogeneity which might reflect the complexity linked to these cell phenotypes. The data of differential expression were validated by using genome-wide microarrays and QPCR analysis. Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes term enrichment analysis revealed over-representation of genes associated with cell differentiation, multicellular organismal development, signal transduction, axon guidance and cell adhesion and under-representation of genes associated with positive regulation of migration, cell adhesion, response to organic substance, prostaglandin metabolic process and blood coagulation. Taken together, these results indicate that differential gene expression, alternative pre-mRNA isoforms, promoter usage and microRNA profiling contribute to define the molecular expression phenotypes implied in the progression of proliferative phenotypes associated to the absence of TIA proteins and prioritize candidates for future study. Each library was run on one RNASeq Multiplex of 76 bp using sequencing from Illumina Genome Analyzer (GAIIx). Three samples were analyzed in this manner, taken from control, TIA1 and TIAR shRNA-depleted HeLa cells.

Project description:Background: T-cell intracellular antigen (TIA) proteins function as regulators of cell homeostasis. These proteins control gene expression globally at multiple levels in response to dynamic regulatory changes and environmental stresses. Herein we identified a micro(mi)RNA signature associated to transiently TIA-depleted HeLa cells and analyzed the potential role of miRNAs combining genome-wide analysis data on mRNA and miRNA profiles. Results: Using high-throughput miRNA expression profiling, transient depletion of TIA-proteins in HeLa cells was observed to promote significant and reproducible changes (>2-fold, FDR<0.0001) affecting to a pool of up-regulated miRNAs (miR-30b*, miR125a-3p, miR-193a-5p, miR-197_MM2, miR-203, miR-210, miR-371-5p, miR-373*, miR-483-5p, miR-492, miR-498, miR-503, miR-572, miR-586, miR-612, miR-615, miR-623, miR-625, miR-629, miR-638, miR-658, miR-663, miR-671, miR-769-3p and miR-744). Differential expression analysis of some miRNAs was validated by reverse transcription and real time PCR. By target prediction and combined analysis of the genome-wide expression profiles of the mRNAs and miRNAs identified in TIA-depleted HeLa cells, we detected concomitant connections between up-regulated miRNAs and putative and experimental targeted mRNAs. Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes database analyses suggest that targeted mRNAs are related with biological processes associated to the regulation of DNA-dependent transcription, signal transduction and multicellular organismal development as well as with the enrichment of pathways in cancer, focal adhesion, regulation of actin cytoskeleton and MAPK and Wnt signalling pathways, respectively. Conclusion: All this considered, these observations suggest that specific miRNAs could act as potential mediators of the epigenetic switch linking transcriptomic dynamics and cell phenotypes mediated by TIA proteins. The analysis includes two cell types. Three biological replicates were performed per cell type and they were compared by using three dual-channel microarray hybridizations.
Project description:Analysis of the genome-wide response of the ER:PRL-HeLa cell line to treatment with estrogen receptor ligands estradiol, 4H-tamoxifen and bisphenol-A. Total RNA obtained from ER:PRL-HeLa cells treated for 4 hours with estradiol, 4H-tamoxifen or bisphenol -A is compared to vehicle treated controls
Project description:To identify human genes whose expression is controled by nuclear paraspeckle, the microarray was carried out using the RNA samples prepared from the control and NEAT1 lncRNA knockdown HeLa cells where the nucelar paraspckels were disintegrated. NEAT1 lncRNA was eliminated by administration of antisense oligogapmer. Either NEAT1 ASO (#12) or control ASO (GFP) was ademnistered into HeLa cells to knockdown NEAT1 lncRNA. Total RNAs were prepared after 6, 12 and 24 hours after ASO administration.
Project description:RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) determine RNA fate from synthesis to decay. Employing two complementary protocols for covalent UV crosslinking of RBPs to RNA, we describe a systematic, unbiased, and comprehensive approach, termed "interactome capture," to define the mRNA interactome of proliferating human HeLa cells. We identify 860 proteins that qualify as RBPs by biochemical and statistical criteria, adding more than 300 RBPs to those previously known and shedding light on RBPs in disease, RNA-binding enzymes of intermediary metabolism, RNA-binding kinases, and RNA-binding architectures. Unexpectedly, we find that many proteins of the HeLa mRNA interactome are highly intrinsically disordered and enriched in short repetitive amino acid motifs. Interactome capture is broadly applicable to study mRNA interactome composition and dynamics in varied biological settings.
