7-24-2009

  • start new cell culture: HeLa, U2-OS

7-27-2009

  • start new cell culture: MCF7
  • split HeLa and U2-OS (both from 7-24-09) 1:10

7-28-2009

  • start with stable transfection of HeLa, MCF7, U20S cells with pFRT/lacZeo following Effectene protocol
  • Washed(PBS) and changed medium of all cell lines.
  • Splitting HELA- and U2-OS (from 7-27-2009) 1:10

7-30-2009

  • removed old medium
  • added fresh medium with Zeocin (stock at 100 mM (used all the stock for 50 ml medium) --> add to medium to get a concentration of 200 µM (1:500))


8-03-2009

  • stable transfection: changed medium (without washing)
    • Hela --> quite a few dead, but some areas seem to be dense
    • MCF7 --> many dead cells, but dense nonetheless
    • U2OS --> fairly dense and not so many dead cells

8-04-2009

  • splitted MCF7 and U2OS with Zeocin medium in new 6-well plate (each 1:10 and 1:5)

8-06-2009

  • changed zeocine medium of HELA, MCF7 (original well, 1:10, 1:5) and U2OS (original well, 1:10, 1:5)

8-07-2009

  • Hela: original 6-well --> kept 1/3, split rest in 2 petri dishes with 3 ml medium with Zeocin (--> final volume of 3,7 ml)
  • MCF7/U2OS: used 1:5 dilution (from 8-4-2009) --> resuspended in 2 ml and added 1 ml to 3 ml medium with Zeocin in two petri dishes

(MCF7 looked strange --> very long, almost like fibers)

8-10-2009

  • Zeocin selection: picked 4 Hela and 4 U2OS foci from petri dishes and transfered them to 24-well (see methods);
  • MCF-7 not ready
  • changed Zeocin medium in 6-wells (Hela, 1:10 MCF7, original MCF7, 1:10 U2OS -> original U2OS too dense)
  • used second petri dishes (Hela, U2OS) to split in 96-well, so that there should be 1 cell per well -> U2OS: counted 3x104 cells/ml, diluted 1:2, used 0,6 µl per well and prepared 24 wells; Hela: counted about 0,75-1x104 cells/ml, used 0,9 µl per well and prepared 24 wells

8-13-2009

  • selection of stable clones of U2OS
    • single cell wells: 5 96-well plates with one cell per well in 150 µl Zeocin DMEM+++ (originally 22,5*10^4 cells/ml)
  • selection of stable clones of HeLa
    • 7 cloning disks placed on colonies visible without microscope (following protocol, see methods)
    • transfered cloning disk to 96-well

8-18-2009

  • split U2-OS from 6-well in large petri dishes (1:30, 1:50)
  • HeLa and MCF-7 from 6-well discarded because they looked sick

8-21-2009

  • HeLA from 96-well (8-13-09) trypsinized (20 µl Trypsin, 5 min) and filled up with 200 µl DMEM/zeocin
    • should spread the cells over the entire well

8-23-2009

  • restarted with Hela and MCF-7
    • split in 6-wells (4 wells, 10^5 per well)

8-24-2009

  • picked 7 U2-OS foci from 1:30 petri dish in 96-wells

  • changed Medium (DMEM+++) of transfected HeLa (from 8-24-09)

8-26-2009

  • changed Medium of transfected HeLa (from 8-24-09): now kept under selectionpressure with Zeocin in DMEM+++ (1:1000)
  • transferred HeLa cells derived from one clone from 96-well (13-08-09) to 6-well in order to expand them
  • removed transfectioncomplexes from MCF-7 (8-25-09)by changing medium (DMEM+++)

8-27-2009

  • picked another 8 foci from U2OS (petri dish) into 96-wells with DMEM+++/Zeocin
  • splitted rest of U2OS from petri dish 1:3 in new petri dish (10)
  • found cells in 96-wells with U2OS (2-3 cells/well)

9-17-2009

  • split "stable" co-transfected HeLa 1:2 into another 6-well
  • split "stable" co-transfected U2-OS 1:5 into another 6-well (except for #5 --> wash and put new medium on; leave in 6-well)
  • put PCR of FRT-site (9-16) on gel --> looks good (fragment should be 240 bp; is between 200 and 300 bp)

9-19-2009

  • changed zeocin medium of stable U2-OS (1,3,6,7 in flask)

    • stable U2-OS "cloning disk" 24 well
    • stable HeLa
    • stable MCF-7 (Yara)

very bad yield, needs to be redone

9-24-2009

  • prepared 6 6 wells with 10^5 stable Hela cells for transfection
  • transferred stable U2-OS "cloning disk" :
    • from 96 well to 6 well

    • constitutive L4


9-26-2009

  • changed medium of yesterday's transfections
  • checked flourescnece of transfected cells:
    • CMV very bright
    • Jet, CMV_Jet , constituiv S4 and L4 no flourecence visible

9-27-2009

  • checked transfections again: Jet, CMV_Jet , constituiv S4 and L4 flourescence also visible
  • changed medium of the cells: DMEM+++/Hygromycin (200 µg/ml)

9-28-2009

  • cells of transfections are too dense; according to manual Hygromycin not effective if more than 25% confluent
    • split them 1:2 in petridishes
  • isolation of genomic DNA from
    • U2-OS "2-3 cells/well" # 1,3,6,7
    • U2-OS "cloning disk" # 5,6,7
    • HeLa (two samples of same clone)
    • MCF-7 ( from Yara,two samples of same clone)

9-29-2009

  • froze stable cell lines (3 of U2-OS, 1 of HeLa, 1 of MCF-7 -> all from picked foci using cloning discs)
  • checked "surviving rate" of cells under hygromycine pressure
    • HeLa: look pretty bad, only very few surviving
    • U2-OS: look better, surviving ones express GFP
  • started LAM-PCR according to protocol Schmidt et al. 2007
    • stopped with overnight capture after second linear PCR

Schmidt M., Schwarzwaelder K.,Bartholomae C., Zaoui K., Ball B.,Pilz I.,Braun S.,Glimm H.,von Kalle C., (2005) High-resolution insertion-site analysis by linear amplification–mediated PCR (LAM-PCR) Nature Methods 4:12, 1051-1057

9-30-2009

  • changed Hygromycine medium on transfections (remaining 6-wells and petri dishes; 200 µg/ml)
  • continued with LAM-PCR
    • began with hexanucleotide priming and stopped with overnight capture after first exponential PCR (Primer LCI)

10-01-2009

  • continued with LAM-PCR
    • second exponential PCR with primer LCII and reaction specific primer
    • gelelectrophoresis on 2 % argarose gels
    • reaction 9 and 10 successful, but more then one integration site per cell line
    • need to do topovector cloning, hopefully possible via GATC

10-02-2009

  • changed hygromycine medium: diluted 1:500 -> 100 µg/ml (stables should be selected -> make them grow faster with lower antibiotic concentration)

10-05-2009

10-08-2009

  • picked foci of stable integrations (transfected 9-25) in 96-wells using cloning disks:
    • CMV (U2-OS): 5 foci
    • S4 (HeLa): 2 foci
    • JeT (HeLa): 1 focus
    • L4 (HeLa): 1 focus
  • used regular DMEM+++ (w/o Hygromycine) overnight
  • also put regular DMEM+++ on petri dishes overnight
