Cellular Defense Mechanisms Show Stronger Response to Linear DNA Compared to Circular Plasmid [ChIP-seq]

ABSTRACT: Low transfection efficiency poses a significant challenge to experimental success, making the improvement of gene-carrying plasmid delivery and expression essential across various research fields. The stability of transfected vector DNA or mRNA significantly impacts transgene expression, as the innate immune system may recognize plasmid DNA as foreign and initiate a degradation response. Currently, it is unclear whether RNA transcribed from plasmids can activate RNA sensors, affecting transfection efficiency. This study employed RNA sequencing to analyze cellular responses to various circular and linear DNAs across five cell lines—HEK293T, HCT116, HeLa, L02, and NCM460—revealing that the innate immune response is a primary contributor to low transfection efficiency. Additionally, we used ChIP-seq to detect H3K27ac histone marks to explore whether the immune response triggered by plasmid transfection is regulated by epigenetic mechanisms. Finally, we performed ChIP assays for IRF7 and p-IRF3 in HeLa cells transfected with the linear pcDNA3.1-neo plasmid to demonstrate that these two transcription factors can indeed bind to the RTV genes.

Expression data from HeLa cells transfected with plasmid expressing Salmonella effector SrfJ or HeLa cells transfected with the empty vector

Project description:SrfJ is an effector of the type III secretion systems of the Gram-negative intracellular pathogen Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium. To study the effects of this effector on global gene expression in host cells, we have expressed SrfJ on human HeLa cells through transient transfection. The comparison with HeLa cells transfected with a plasmid not expressing SrfJ, revealed a number of genes that are differentially expressed when SrfJ is present.

Expression signatures of human HeLa cells with RNAi targetting A1 hnRNP, FUS, H hnRNP and p68-DDX5

Project description:Transcription profiling of human HeLa cells (cervical cancer cell line) transfected with a plasmid expressing shRNAs cloned into the pSuper expression vector compared to emprty vector negative controls for transfection. Four different RNA interference treatments targetted: A1 hnRNP (HNRNPA1, Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein A1); FUS (fusion gene, involved in t(12;16) in malignant liposarcoma); H hnRNP (HNRNPH1); and p68 helicase (DDX5, DEAD (Asp-Glu-Ala-Asp) box polypeptide 5). Keywords: genetic modification

The effects of Hmgb1 depletion on gene expression in human cells

Project description:High Mobility Group Box 1 (HMGB1) is a highly abundant and evolutionarily conserved non-histone chromatin component with the ability to bind and bend DNA. The protein is involved in fundamental nuclear processes including nucleosome sliding, transcription, replication, V(D)J recombination and DNA transposition. To assess the functional impact of HMGB1 on transcription we performed gene expression profile analyses of HeLa cells stably transfected with an anti-HMGB1 shRNA expressing plasmid or a control plasmid. 2 stable clones: control HeLa, Hmgb1-knocked down HeLa, 3 technical replicates. Hmgb1 knockdown HeLa cells were prepared by stable transfection with the plasmid Hmgb1shRNA-pSuperior.puro or, as a mock control, with the empty vector pSuperior.puro (Invitrogen). Transfection was made starting from 500 thousands (500K) or 5 milions (5mil) cells. Transfected cells were selected with puromycin and single resistant clones were picked, amplified and analyzed for HMGB1 expression by western blot. A clone containing less then 10% of the wt amount of HMGB1 was selected for further experiments. Total RNAs were extracted using Quiagen RNeasy kit and analyzed on the Illumina BeadsArray platform in 2 technical replica (2 arrays).

Effects of long dsRNA expression in HeLa and HEK293 cells

Project description:Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) can enter different pathways in mammalian cells, including sequence-specific RNA interference, sequence-independent interferon response and editing by adenosine deaminases. To assess the potential of expressed dsRNA to induce interferon stimulated genes in somatic cells, we performed microarray analysis of HEK293 and HeLa cells transfected with a MosIR plasmid expressing an mRNA with a long inverted repeat structure in its 3’UTR (MosIR) or with a parental MosIR plasmid (without inverted repeat) as a control. Clustering analysis based on differentially expressed genes suggested that there was no common transcriptome signature in cells expressing dsRNA. Overall, the number of genes with altered expression upon transfection of the MosIR plasmid was rather small and only 19 probe sets, corresponding to 17 genes, were changed more than two-fold in both cell lines.

Transfection with Glucuronidase A affects general proteome pattern in Giardia lamblia trophozoites

Project description:Giardia lamblia is an important causative agent of persistent diarrhea in humans, domestic animals, and cattle. Basic research is usually performed with the strain WBC6 and includes genetic manipulations such as transfections. Here, we investigate how transfection with a plasmid causing stable expression of a foreign gene affects the whole proteome pattern. Using shotgun mass spectrometry, we compare the proteomes of untransfected trophozoites to trophozoites transfected with Escherichia coli glucuronidase A (GusA). Besides GusA, which is detected in the transfected trophozoites only, the proteomes of untransfected and transfected trophozoites differ by 132 differentially expressed proteins. In particular, transfection induces antigenic variation. Since transfection causing stable expression affects the proteome pattern, transfection experiments should take into account this effect. Due to a unique peptide panel, GusA is an example for a suitable internal standard for experiments involving transfected cells.
