Project description:Polyamines are absolutely required for cell growth and proliferation. While polyamine depletion results in reversible cell cycle arrest, the actual mechanism of growth inhibition is still obscure. This experiment aimed at determining the cellular processes elicited by re-addition of polyamines to polyamine-depleted (growth arrested) cells. In order to reveal the general transcriptional responses to polyamine re-addition, NIH3T3 mouse fibroblasts were first treated with 1mM L-Difluoromethylornithine (DFMO) for 96 hours and then growth stimulated by spermidine. Cells were collected at 0, 30, 60, 120, 240, 360, 480 and 600 min upon addition of spermidine to polyamine-depleted (growth arrested) cells. Total RNA was isolated, reverse-transcribed, fragmented, labeled and hybridized to Affymetrix MoGene 1.0 ST DNA array.

Project description:Polyamines are absolutely required for cell growth and proliferation. While polyamine depletion results in reversible cell cycle arrest, the actual mechanism of growth inhibition is still obscure. This work aimed at determining the cellular processes affected by reduction in the intracellular polyamine levels In order to reveal the general transcriptional responses to polyamine depletion in mammalian cells, NIH3T3 mouse fibroblasts were treated with 1mM L-Difluoromethylornithine (DFMO), G1 cellular fractions were collected by sorting at 0,12, 24, 48 and 96 hours upon addition of the reagent, total RNA was extracted, reverse-transcribed, fragmented, labeled and hybridized to Affymetrix MoGene 1.0 ST DNA array.
