Project description:Metabolome analysis of 180 cancer cell lines. Intracellular extracts. Flow injection analysis - TOF (negative mode, no LC). Sample description is included in Metadata_File_CellLines.txt
Project description:In vitro study with AML cell lines that are treated with different concentrations of cytarabine (nucleoside analog). 8 AML cell lines were incubated for 24hr with 0uM, 1uM and 10uM ara-C. After 24hr the cells were washed and pellets were stored in -80°C for genomic and metabolomic analysis.
Project description:Chromosome loss that results in monosomy has detrimental consequences for human cells, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain enigmatic. Using p53 deficient monosomic cell lines, we found that chromosome loss impairs proliferation and genomic stability. Transcriptome and proteome analysis revealed a partial compensation of the gene dosage changes that mitigates the effects of chromosome loss. Monosomy triggers global gene expression changes that differ from the effects of trisomy. Strikingly, ribosome biogenesis and translation were commonly downregulated in monosomic cells. Polysome profiling and translation analysis suggest that the defects arise due to haploinsufficiency of ribosomal genes. The ensuing ribosome biogenesis stress triggers the p53 pathway and G1 arrest when TP53 is reintroduced into monosomic cells. Accordingly, impaired ribosome biogenesis and p53 inactivation are associated with monosomy in cancer. Our first systematic study of monosomy in human cells demonstrates that haploinsufficiency of ribosomal genes presents a dominant negative phenotype of monosomy.
