Spontaneous cell competition in U2OS human osteosarcoma cells.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The study compares the transcriptional profiles of U2OS human osteosarcoma cells and those of two single-cell derived sub-lines carrying a stably integrated H2BmCherry (U2OS-R1) or H2B-YFP (U2OS-YFP) expression cassette. U2OS-R1 and U2OS-YFP cell spontaneously undergo apoptosis upon co-culture with the parental (Wt) U2OS cell population. Furthermore, YFP cells also undergo apoptosis upon co-culture with R1 cells. This behavior is similar to the \cell competition\ phenomenon described in the Drosophila imaginal disc and the mouse epiblast (for review, see , where fast-growing \fit\ cells induce apoptosis in slow-growing, less \fit\ neighbors. The mRNA expression profiles of Wt, R1 and YFP cells cultured alone or in pairwise combinations for 48h were analyzed after cell sorting by RNA microarray hybridization using Affymetrix Human Gene ST 1.0 chips.
