Project description:DNA topoisomerase IIB has an important role in ligand mediated transcriptional regulation of gene expression. SH-SY5Y is a neuroblastoma cell line that can be induced to differentiate into neuronal-like cells in response to retinoic acid. In this study TOP2B has been knocked out using crispr-cas9 to determine the role of TOP2B in the transcriptional response to retinoic acid. RNA was prepared from untreated wild type and TOP2B null SH-SY5Y cells and from cells exposed to 10 uM All Trans Retinoic Acid (ATRA) for 24 hours.
Project description:The proteomes of undifferentiated and differentiated SH-SY5Y cells are characterised and compared. For this, neuronal differentiation using retinoic acid (RA) or a combination of RA and phorbol-12-myristat-13-acetate (RA/PMA) was explored. An MS-based label-free quantification approach is applied to identify changes in the protein expression, the as proteins’ subcellular localisation abundance as well as their association with enriched KEGG pathways. By employing formaldehyde cross-linking insights into protein interaction networks of undifferentiated as well as RA- and RA/PMA-differentiated neurons are obtained. The analyses provided insights into the proteomes of undifferentiated and differentiated SH-SY5Y cells and suggest structural rearrangements, for instance, of the actin network during neuronal differentiation.
Project description:SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells are widely used as in vitro neuronal model. They can be induced to a differentiated phenotype, presenting neurites and synaptical-like structures in response to retinoic (RA) acid and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), providing a model to analyze neuronal differentiation. We report a large scale MS quantification of SH-SY5Y cells proteome during its differentiation process after treatment with RA/BDNF. Using isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification (iTRAQ) approach and phosphopeptide enrichment protocols, we identified a total of 5587 proteins, 366 of them showed differential abundance between both conditions of culture. Differentiated SH-SY5Y cells showed regulation of proteins and phosphosites strongly related to neuronal development, in contrast, undifferentiated cells expressed proteins more related to cell proliferation and control of cell cycle. Interactive network analysis covered processes as focal adhesion, cytoskeleton dynamics and neurodegenerative diseases and pathway analysis displayed regulation of mitogen-activated protein kinase and phosphoinositide 3-kinase/Akt signaling pathways mainly; the proteins involved in those processes might be considered as markers for neuronal differentiation. Overall the data collection presented here can be explored for any studies which intent to use SH-SY5Y as neuronal model.
Project description:Multiple genetic and environmental factors play a role in the development and progression of ParkinsonM-bM-^@M-^Ys disease (PD). The main neuropathological hallmark of PD is the degeneration of dopaminergic (DAergic) neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SN). To study genetic and molecular contributors to the disease process, there is a great need for readily accessible cells with prominent DAergic features that can be used for reproducible in vitro cellular screening. Here, we investigated the molecular phenotype of retinoic acid (RA) differentiated SH-SY5Y cells using genome wide transcriptional profiling combined with gene ontology, transcription factor and molecular pathway analysis. We demonstrated that RA induces a general neuronal differentiation program in SH-SY5Y cells and that these cells develop a predominantly mature DAergic-like neurotransmitter phenotype. This phenotype is characterized by increased dopamine levels together with substantial suppression of other neurotransmitter phenotypes, such as those for noradrenaline, acetylcholine, glutamate, serotonin and histamine. In addition, we show that RA differentiated SH-SY5Y cells express dopamine and noradrenalin neurotransmitter transporters that are responsible for uptake of MPP(+), a well known DAergic cell toxicant, and that MPP(+) treatment alters mitochondrial activity according to its proposed cytotoxic effect in DAergic neurons. Taken together, RA differentiated SH-SY5Y cells have a DAergic-like phenotype, and provide a good cellular screening tool to find novel genes or compounds that affect cytotoxic processes that are associated with PD. SH-SY5Y cell differentiation process was assessed by comparing RA differentiated and noRA differentiated cells in 8 days of culture. Cells were compared at 6 different time points.
