After this day, we only changed medium on the plates with the foci. That is, because we had the LAM-PCR results that showed we had multiple integration sides. Thus, we figured we should not invest the time to clone the mixture of bands into topo vectors in order to sequence them.

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

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

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

    • split in 6-wells (4 wells, 10^5 per well)

8-24-2009

  • 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+++)

9-02-2009

  • splitted MCF-7 from 6-well 1:2 in another 6-well
  • 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)

9-04-2009

  • splitted "stable" Helas from upper 6-well in flask (25cm²)

9-10-2009

  • splitted "stable" Helas from upper 6-well 1:3 into another flask (25cm²) (one third stayed in old 6-well, one third into flask and one third for cotransfection (3 times 3x10^4 in 6-wells))

  • trypsinized U2-OS (picked with cloning disks 9-02-2009) and left in 96-well
  • washed and trypsinized Helas and MCF-7 (under Zeocin pressure, not picked yet)
  • spotted very weird/huge focus of Hela in one of those wells

9-11-2009

  • prepared two 24-wells with MCF-7 for Lipofectamin testing and transfection with linearized lacZeo plasmid
  • splitted four confluent colonies (#1,3,5,7) of "stable" U2-OS from 6-well (9-7) 1:3 into two other 6-wells for co-transfection with recombinase

9-12-2009

  • changed medium on "stable" co-transfections --> DMEM+++ +Hygromycin (1:200) before leaving
  • prepared 1x10^5 cells (stable HeLas) for genomic DNA extraction --> works (15 ng/µl)

9-16-2009

  • PCR of FRT-site (to check if it's actually there) with O.243&O.244 and genomic DNA

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)
  • split stable HeLas 1:10 (flask)

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

very bad yield, needs to be redone

9-24-2009

  • split stable US-OS "2-3 cells/well" # 1,3,6,7 from 6 well 1:2 in other 6 wells
  • prepared 6 6 wells with 10^5 stable Hela cells for transfection
  • transferred stable U2-OS "cloning disk" :
    • from 96 well to 6 well
    • # 5,6,7 from 6 well to flask

9-25-2009

  • cotransfected (each 3 6 wells) stable Helas and U2OS in 6 wells with recombinase plasmid (p45) and
    • CMV_mCherry(p55)
    • Jet_mCherrry (p31)
    • JetProx_CmvCore_mCherry(p48)
  • cotransfected only stable Helas in 6 wells with recombinase plasmid (p45) and
    • constitutive S4
    • 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

  • new Hygromycine medium (100 µg/ml)

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


After this day, we only changed medium on the plates with the foci. That is, because we had the LAM-PCR results that showed we had multiple integration sides. Thus, we figured we should not invest the time to clone the mixture of bands into topo vectors in order to sequence them.
