Optimization of Culture Medium and Transfection Method for Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma Organoids

[Objectives] To optimize the culture medium for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma patient-derived organoid and screen suitable cytokines;compare the transfection efficiency of direct transfection and short-term suspension transfection for organoid in matrigel. [Methods] Advanced DMEM/F12 medium, GlutaMax and HEPES buffer, nicotinamide, N-acetylcysteine, B27, A83-01, EGF, Y-27632 and Primocin primary cell antibiotics were prepared. On this basis, fibroblast growth factor 10(FGF10), Neuregulin 1, Noggin and R-spondin-1 were added in turn to prepare the selection medium, and the organoid diameter was used as the evaluation index to evaluate the effect of organoid medium. Using lentivirus, mCherry red fluorescent protein was transfected into HNSCC—PDO in different ways, and the transfection effect was evaluated by the fluorescence intensity of organoid sphere. [Results] Nrg1 Noggin and R-Spondin-1 promoted the growth of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma sphere(P<0.05) while FGF10 did not significantly promote the growth of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma sphere(P>0.05). Compared with direct transfection, short-term suspension transfection had higher transfection efficiency for HNSCC—PDO in matrigel. [Conclusions] R-Spondin-1 Nrg1 and Noggin may be the key cytokines in culture of HNSCC—PDO whereas FGF10 played an insignificant role in this study. Short-term suspension transfection could improve the transfection efficiency of lentivirus to HNSCC—PDO.

Transfection of the glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor gene promotes neuronal differentiation

Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor recombinant adenovirus vector-transfected bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were induced to differentiate into neuron-like cells using inductive medium containing retinoic acid and epidermal growth factor. Cell viability, micro- tubule-associated protein 2-positive cell ratio, and the expression levels of glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor, nerve growth factor and growth-associated protein-43 protein in the su- pernatant were significantly higher in glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor/bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells compared with empty virus plasmid-transfected bone marrow mes- enchymal stem cells. Furthermore, microtubule-associated protein 2, glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor, nerve growth factor and growth-associated protein743 mRNA levels in cell pellets were statistically higher in glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor/bone marrow mesen- chymal stem cells compared with empty virus plasmid-transfected bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. These results suggest that glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor/bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells have a higher rate of induction into neuron-like cells, and this enhanced differentiation into neuron-like cells may be associated with up-regulated expression of glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor, nerve growth factor and growth-associated protein-43.

Anticancer Drug Resistance of HeLa Cells Transfected With Rat Glutathione S-transferase pi Gene

To establish a cytologic expressing system of rat glutathione S-transferase pi (GST-pi) cDNA for detecting the resistance of HeLa cells to anticancer drugs. Methods The assessment was made with various anticancer drugs (adriamycin, mitomycin, cisplatinum and vincristine) that showed different cytotoxicities in transfectant HeLa cells with pSV-GT containing rat GST-pi cDNA (HeLa/pSV-GT) or control pSV-neo (HeLa/pSV-neo). Expression levels of GST-pi mRNA in HeLa/pSV-GT and HeLa/pSV-neo were measured by in situ hybridization using Digoxin-labelled cDNA probe. Results HeLa/pSV-GT expressed significantly high degree of GST-pi mRNA, whereas both HeLa/pSV-neo and HeLa cells had very low expression. Cytotoxicities of HeLa/pSV-GT and HeLa/pSV-neo with 4 anticancer drugs were measured by MTT assay. Drug concentrations for yielding 50% inhibition (IC50) in HeLa/pSV-GT by adriamycin, mitomycin and cisplatinum were 70.13 靏/mL, 10.95 靏/mL and 16.52 靏/mL, respectively. In contrast, IC50 in HeLa/pSV-neo was 10.34 靏/mL, 7.48 靏/mL and 13.70 靏/mL, respectively. The cytotoxicities of vincristine on both HeLa/pSV-GT and HeLa/pSV-neo were not significantly different. Conclusions Our findings suggest that HeLa/pSV-GT containing rat GST-pi cDNA is resistant to some anticancer drugs due to overexpression of GST-pi. Also, HeLa/pSV-GT cell line could serve as a useful cytogenetic model for further research.

Oxygen-glucose deprivation of neurons transfected with toll-like receptor 3-siRNA Determination of an optimal transfection sequence

Toll-like receptor 3 protein expression has been shown to be upregulated during cerebral ische- mia/reperfusion injury in rats. In this study, rat primary cortical neurons were subjected to oxy- gen-glucose deprivation to simulate cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury. Chemically synthesized small interfedng RNA （siRNA）-1280, -1724 and -418 specific to toll-like receptor 3 were transfected into oxygen-glucose deprived cortical neurons to suppress the upregulation of toll-like receptor 3 protein expression. Western blotting demonstrated that after transfection with siRNA, toll-like re- ceptor 3 protein expression reduced, especially in the toll-like receptor 3-1724 group. These results suggested that siRNA-1724 is an optimal sequence for inhibiting toll-like receptor 3 expression in cortical neurons following oxygen-glucose deprivation.

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor genes transfect rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells based on cationic polymer vector

BACKGROUND： Gene therapy is an effective expression of genes within target cells after transferring exogenous target genes. Both vector selection and transfection method are important factors for gene transfection. An ideal gene vector is required for a high transfusion of target gene and an exact introduction of target gene into specific target cells so as to express gene products. OBJECTIVE： To study the expression of mRNA and protein after transfecting rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells （BMSCs） with brain-derived neurotrophic factor （BDNF） genes based on cationic polymer vector. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING： A randomized, controlled in vitro study using gene engineering, performed at the Neurobiology Laboratory, Xuzhou Medical College between October 2007 and April 2008. MATERIALS： PcDNA3.1 BDNF was obtained from Youbiai Biotechnological Company, Beijing and cationic polymer vector used was the SofastTM gene transfection reagent that was made by Taiyangma Biotechnological Co., Ltd., Xiamen. METHODS： BMSCs extracted from six Sprague Dawley （SD） rats aged 1 month were isolated and cultured in vitro. Third passage BMSCs were inoculated on a 6-well culture plate at the density of 1×106 cells/L. At about 80% confluence, BMSCs were transfected with PcDNA3.1-BDNF （2 μg） combined with SofastTM gene transfection reagent （6 μg） （BDNF group） or with PcDNA3.1 （2 μg） combined with SofastTM gene transfection reagent （6 μg） （blank vector group）. Cells that were not transfected with any reagents but still cultured under primary culture conditions were used as a non-transfection group. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES： Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay was used to measure time efficiency of BMSC-secreted BDNF protein. Twenty-four hours after gene transfection, RT-PCR was used to detect expression of BDNF mRNA in the BMSCs. Immunohistochemistry was used to determine expression of BDNF protein in the BMSCs. RESULTS： BDNF protein expression was detected at day 1 after gene transfection, rapidly increased after 5–9 days and gradually increased after 11–15 days in the BDNF group; moreover, BDNF protein expression was higher than that in the non-transfection group and the blank vector group at different time points （P 〈 0.01）. Additionally, BDNF mRNA expression in the BDNF group was higher than that in the blank vector group and the non-transfection group （P 〈 0.01）. CONCLUSION： A cationic polymer vector can effectively mediate the BDNF gene to transfect BMSCs; genetically modified BMSCs can express BDNF protein effectively for a long term.

A study of the expression of p53 in posttransfection cells with rAdp53 gene and inhibitory activity in vitro

Objective： To investigate the inhibitory effect and IC50, （rAdp53） in colorectal cancer cells in vitro and to guide （50% inhibiting concentration） of the recombinant adenoviral p53 gene clinical practice. Methods： We evaluated the efficiency （IC50）of the rAdp53 and six kinds of anti-cancer drugs（5-fluorouracil, tegafur, mitomycin c, cisplatin, oxaliplatin, paclitaxel） in human colorectal cancer cell line-174 through the cell culture and MTT chemosensitivity assay to make sure the anti-cancer capability of rAdp53. Expression of p53 protein in transfection cells of colorectal cancer line-174 with rAdp53 was evaluated by immunohistochemical staining. Results： The rAdp53 is a dose-and time-dependent anti-cancer drug, its IC50 is 5.73×10^11 VP/ml, but its effect was not obvious when compared with other anti-cancer drugs. In control group, the immunohistochemistry stain was negative. However, rAd-p53 of five different concentrations were all positive in infected colorectal cancer cells with rAd-p53 and the earliest positive result would present 24 hours after infection. Conclusion： The rAdp53 has good anti-cancer efficacy is colorectal cancer cell line-174 in vitro. But its anti-cancer efficacy was less than those of the classical chemical medicine mitomycin c, 5-fluorouracil and cisplatin etc., when it was used alone.

This study sought to assess the potential of brain-derived neurotrophic factor （BDNF） to promote neuronal repair and regeneration in rats with diffuse axonal injury, and to examine the accompanying neurobiological changes. BDNF gene transfection reduced the severity of the pathological changes associated with diffuse axonal injury in cortical neurons of the frontal lobe and increased neurofilament protein expression. These findings demonstrate that BDNF can effectively promote neuronal repair and neurite regeneration after diffuse axonal injury.

Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor-transfected bone marrow stromal cells for the treatment of ischemic stroke

Adult, male, Sprague-Dawley rats were injected with granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor-transfected bone marrow stromal cells （GM-CSF-BMSCs） into the ischemic boundary zone at 24 hours after onset of middle cerebral artery occlusion. Results showed reduced infarct volume, decreased number of apoptotic cells, improved neurological functions, increased angiogenic factor expression, and increased vascular density in the ischemic boundary zone in rats that underwent GM-CSF-BMSCs transplantation compared with the BMSCs group. Experimental findings suggested that GM-CSF-BMSCs could serve as a potential therapeutic strategy for ischemic stroke and are superior to BMSCs alone.

The insulin release upon different concentration of glucose stimulation was detected using insulin radioimmunoassay kit, and stimulation index（SI） was calculated. Glucose-stimulated insulin release was used ＇to assess islet viability. Results：Adenovirus vector successfully transferred HO-1 gene to rat islet cells in vitro, and the insulin release upon high level of glucose stimulation and stimulation index （SI） of Ad-HO-1-infected islets were significantly higher than those of Ad-EGFP-infected islets and control islets （P 〈 0.05）. Conclusion： Adenovirus-mediated HO-1 gene transfection is a feasible strategy to confer cytoprotection and therefore protect the viability of cultured rat islets.

Selenium Regulation of Selenium-dependent Glutathione Peroxidases in Animals and Transfected CHO Cells

Glutathione peroxidase (GPX1) was the first identified selenium-dependent enzyme, and this enzyme has been most useful as a biochemical indicator of selenium (Se) status and the parameter of choice for determining Se requirements. We have continued to study Se regulation of GPX1 to better understand the underlying mechanism and to gain insight into how cells themselves regulate nutrient status. In progressive Se deficiency in rats, GPX1 activity,protein and mRNA all decrease in a dramatic, coordinated and exponential fashion such that Se-deficient GPX1 mRNA levels are 6-15% of Sexadequate levels. mRNA levels for other Sedependent proteins are far less decreased in the same animals. The mRNA levels for a second Se-dependent peroxidase, phospholipid hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase (GPX4 ), are little affected by Se deficiency, demonstrating that Se regulation of GPX1 is unique. Se regulation of GPX1 activity in growing male and female rats shows that the Se requirernent is 100 ng/g diet, based on liver GPX1 activity; use of GPX1 mRNA as the parameter indicates that the Se requirement is nearer to 50 ng Se/g diet in both male and female rats. This approach will readily detect an altered dietary Se requirement, as shown by the incremental increases in dietary Se requirement by 150, 100 or 50 ng Se/g diet in Seudeficient rat pups repleted with Se for 3, 7 or 14 d, respectively. Studies with CHO cells stably transfected with recombinant GPX1 also show that overexpression of GPX1 does not alter the minimum level of media Se necessary for Se-adequate levels of GPX1 activity or mRNA. We hypothesize that classical GPX1 has an integral biological role in the mechanism used by cells to regulate Se status,making GPX1 an especially useful and effective parameter for determining Se requirements in animals

New Amphiphilic Amino Acid Derivatives for Efficient DNA Transfection in Vitro

Nucleic acids-based therapies have recently developed as next-generation agents for treating and preventing viral infection, cancer, and genetic disorders, but their use is still limited due to its relatively poor delivery into targeted cells. We designed and synthesized new amphiphilic amino acid derivatives (cysteine-based) of low molecular weight, formed by the same pentapeptide (AG2: WWCOO) N-acylated, with different hydrophobic chains containing from 12 to 18 carbons, named AG2-Cn (N), which dimerize by oxidation in the presence of pLenti-CMV-GFP Puro plasmid (P) in the respective gemini. We determined transfection efficiency, critical micelle concentration, particle size, ζ-potential and cytotoxicity for the derivatives obtained. We found that all the synthesized compounds were active for DNA delivery and had greater ability to transfect CHO-K1 cells. In particular, AG2-C18 is a promising carrier for gene delivery because it showed no cytotoxicity and its activity was greater than or equal to the commercial actives currently used.

Comparison of rAAV-2-EGFP versus liposome transfection of neural stem cells

BACKGROUND： At present, a universal method and vector for transfecting enhanced green fluorescent protein （EGFP） into neural stem cells does not exist. The traditional use of liposome to transfect GFP shows low labeling efficiency and short labeling time. However, there is an increasing number of reports in recent years utilizing adeno-associated virus （AAV） transfection of neural stem cells. OBJECTIVE： To compare differences of neural stem cell transfection via rAAV-2-EGFP or liposome, with regard to transfection efficiency, stability, and safety. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING： A parallel, controlled experiment at a cellular molecular level was performed in the Central Laboratory, Clinical Neuromedicine Research Center, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, between June 2007 and March 2008. MATERIALS： Liposome 2000 was purchased from Invitrogen, USA; rAAV-2-EGFP was offered from Beijing AGTC Gene Technology, China. METHODS： Cerebral cortical cells from embryonic day 12 C57BL/6 mouse embryo were isolated and cultivated, and the logarithmically growing neural stem cells were divided into three groups. Liposome transfection： neural stem cells were transfected with liposome/EGFP plasmid mixture comprising 2 pg pcDNA-3.0-EGFP plasmid and 12 μg Liposome 2000 in complete culture solution. AAV transfection： neural stem cells were transfected with virus transfection solution comprising rAAV-2-EGFP and complete culture solution at multiplicity of infection = 10^5. Negative control： physiological saline was used instead of virus transfection solution. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES： At different time points after transfection （36 hours, 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month, and 6 months）, the proportion of green fluorescent cells was quantified under fluorescent microscopy. Transfection efficiency and proliferative activity of the transfected neural stem cells were detected with flow cytometry and 3-（4,5）-dimethylthiahiazo （-z-yl）-3,5-di- phenytetrazoliumremide, respectively. RESULTS： The neural stem cells began to express green fluorescence 36 hours after transfection with rAAV-2-EGFP. Transfection efficiency reached a peak （61.2%） at 1 week, and was higher than the liposome transfection group （38.7%; P 〈 0.05）. Green fluorescence was detectable for 6 months, with no weakness of expression, and rAAV-2-EGFP transfection showed no obvious effects on the proliferation activity of neural stem cells. In the liposome transfection group, green fluorescence was observed after 24 hours and reached a peak at 3 days. Fluorescence expression and proliferation activity disappeared at 2 weeks. CONCLUSION： rAAV-2-EGFP transfection of neural stem cells was superior to liposome transfection.
