Project description:Purpose: To analyze the sensitivity and specificity of the AmpFISH method, we sequenced the NIH3T3 cell line via UMI-RNAseq experiments. Methods:NIH3T3 cells were grown in DMEM (Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium, Gibco) supplemented with 10% FBS (Fetal Bovine Serum, Sigma), 50U/ml Penicillin and 50 mg/ml streptomycin (Gibco,cat.no.15070) at 37℃ with 5% CO2. Cells were treated with 0.25% trypsin solution (HyClone, No.SH42605.01) when they reached ~106 cells/ml. Then, the cells were washed with 1X PBS, and then mixed with 1ml TRIzol solution (ThermoFish, No.15596029), and snap-frozen with dry ice. Total RNA was qualitatively and quantitatively evaluated as follows: (1) the RNA sample was initially qualitatively evaluated using 1% agarose gel electrophoresis for possible contamination and degradation; (2) RNA purity and concentration were then examined using NanoPhotometer spectrophotometer; (3) RNA integrity and quantity were finally measured using RNA Nano 6000 Assay Kit of the Bioanalyzer 2100 system. After library preparation and pooling of different samples, the samples were subjected to Illumina sequencing. The libraries were sequenced using the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 Platform for 6G raw data and generated 150nt pair-end reads. UMI sequences on each read were identified by UMI-tools (1.0.0), and reads with UMIs were used for the subsequent analysis. To identify the duplicated reads, UMIs were initially removed from the UMI reads, and the remaining parts of each read were mapped to the reference genome using Hisat2. Reads that mapped to the same location on the reference genome were identified as duplicated reads. Then, the UMIs on each read were recalled, and the duplicated reads with the same UMI were identified as non-natural duplications, which were subsequently removed from the processed data. HTSeq v0.6.1 was used to count the read numbers mapped to each gene. Then, the FPKM of each gene was calculated based on the length of the gene, and the read count was mapped to the gene. Conclusions:AmpFISH provides convenient and versatile tools for sensitive RNA/DNA detection and to gain useful information on cellular molecules using simple workflows

Project description:Expression profiling of normal NIH3T3 and transformed NIH3T3 K-ras cell lines grown for 72 hours in optimal glucose availability (25 mM glucose) or low glucose availability (1 mM). Low glucose induces apoptosis in transformed cells as compared to normal ones.
Project description:Identification of cyclical expressed coding and non-coding genes during the circadian rhythm in NIH3T3 cells. NIH3T3 cells were synchronized for their circadian rhythm and RNA sequencing were performed at several time points along the rhythm. This data was used to identify cyclical expressed genes as well as long intergenic non-coding RNAs. NIH3T3 cells were synchronized with 100 nM Dexamethasone for 2 hours, then medium was changed to normal culture medium (0h). Every 4 hours cells were harvested, RNA isolated and RNAseq performed.
Project description:The aim of this experiment was to get a comparison of the signatures between a non-transformed cell (NIH3T3 + vector) and a transformed cell (NIH3T3 + Fbxo7). NIH3T3 cells become transformed after the stable integration of the Fbxo7 gene. Fbxo7 potentiates cyclin D/cdk6 activity.
Project description:Expression profiling of normal NIH3T3 and transformed NIH3T3 K-ras cell lines grown for 72 hours in optimal glucose availability (25 mM glucose) or low glucose availability (1 mM). Low glucose induces apoptosis in transformed cells as compared to normal ones. We performed genome-wide analysis by using Affymetrix GeneChip oligonucleotide microarrays to identify those genes whose expression levels are modulated by glucose availability in NIH3T3 and NIH3T3 K-ras cell lines. The cells, to be used for the transcription analysis, were collected at 18h from the initial seeding, time corresponding to the change of medium (25 or 1 mM glucose, indicated as T0) and then at 24, 48 and 72h upon medium change.
Project description:Effect of the overexpression of the oncogenic form of the Vav2 protein in the NIH3T3 cell line under serum deprivation conditions. oncovav2-transformed NIH3T3 cells grown in serum-deprived medium (Vav2SD) are compared to the parental NIH3T3 controls under the same growth conditions (ContSD). Vav2SD cells are also compared to the oncovav2-transformed NIH3T3 cells growing exponentially and the NIH3T3 growing exponentially.
Project description:We developed a targeted chromosome conformation capture (4C) approach that uses unique molecular identifiers (UMI) to derive high complexity quantitative chromosome contact profiles with controlled signal to noise ratios. We demonstrate that the method improves the sensitivity and specificity for detection of long-range chromosomal interactions, and that it allows the design of interaction screens with predictable statistical power. UMI-4C robustly quantifies contact intensity changes between cell types and conditions, opening the way toward incorporation of long-range interactions in quantitative models of gene regulation. We constructed UMI-4C profiles of 13 different genomic loci (viewpoints) in five different cell lines, in order to study the 3D chromatin contact maps of these selected loci. The coordinates for these viewpoints are: G1p1 chrX:48646542; baitG1_3_5kb chrX:48641393; bait_50kb chrX:48595987; bait_165kb chrX:48476525; ANK1 chr8:41654693; hbb_3HS chr11:5221346; hbb_HBB chr11:5248714; hbb_HBBP1_G1 chr11:5266532; HBB_HBE chr11:5292159; HBB_HS2 chr11:5301345; HBB_HS3 chr11:5306690; HBB_HS5 chr11:5313539; HBB_HBD chr11:5256597
