This subpage is for cellculture, the structure of each experiment is following:

Date of first action, title of the experiment


The motivation
This short introduction provides an inside into our thoughts for this experiment.
The plan
In this section, the design of the experiment is explained.
The results
Interpretation and discussion of our results.



14.6 Seeding AAV293 for transfection


The motivation
We want to create viral stocks with the stratagene R/C, the gene of interest is mVenus. This is a qualitative control.

The plan
AAV 293 and HT1080 Cells have been splitted and plated out on 10 cm dishes for transfektion. The Cells were accounted by using the Neubauer-Meteringchamber. After harvesting by following the standard protocol the pallet have been resuspendiated in 15ml of DTT medium. 2,5µl of this cell suspension have been mixed with 47.5µl of trypan blue.

We counted 12,5x 10^6 cells/ml for the AAV293 cell line and 10x10^6 cells /ml for the HT1080 cell line.

The AAV 293 cells have been plated out on four dishes with 250µl of the cell suspension, on one plated with 1ml and on another dish with 1.5ml. note that that the date is wrong on the plates and the flasks! Cells have been already plated out on the 14th. of June.

We also seated two flasks one for each cell line. Therefor we used 1ml of the HT1080 cell suspension and two ml of the the AAV293 cells.
1)

  • pAAV_iGEM_mVenus_YFP (glycerol stock B34, P39) P39 has the correct sequence (confirmed)
  • pHelper
  • pAAV_RC

2)

  • pAAV_iGEM_mVenus_YFP (glycerol stock B33, P38) P38 (we dont know if P39 has the correct sequence!)was used because the amount of P39 was not sufficient enough for four Transfections!
  • pHelper
  • pAAV_RC

Plasmid concentrations:
pAAV_RC: 1 µg/µl
pHelper: 280 ng/µl
pAAV_iGEM_mVenus_YFP, P39: 180,83 ng/µl
pAAV_iGEM_mVenus_YFP, P38: 179,75 ng/µl

Cellculture clone 1 and 2 were transfected with P39. Cellculture clone 3 and 4 were transfected with P38.


We could only pipet 3,3 µg (instead of 10 µg) from each of the 3 plasmids into the 15 ml falcons due to insufficient amount of plasmid.

Adrian tried to examine the precipation of the CaCl2+ DNA Clusters. We have to optimize the pH of our 2xHBS at the moment it is 11.12.
The viral stocks are harvested according to standard protocol.
The results

Results of transduction, ~ 1% of the HT1080 showed expression of mVenus.

According to the stratagene protocol, transduction efficencies about ~80% are achievable. We performed every step under guidance, so probably something is wrong with the buffers, cells or even the standard protocol. The next step is to repeat this transfection.

19.6 Seeding AAV293 for second transfection according to standard protocol


The motivation
We want to repeat the last transfection to exclude faults in practical
The plan
Six transfections were performed according to the standart protocol: Media:Freiburg10_Transfection_protocoll.pdf
Three 10 cm cellcluture dishes with 293 cells were transfected with 10 µg DNA (3,33 µg each plasmid) and the other three 10 cm cellculture dishes with 30 µg DNA (10 µg DNA each plasmid).

Plasmids:

  • pAAV_iGEM-MCS_mVenus (P41), 507 ng/µl
  • pAAV_RC , 1000 ng/µl
  • pHelper , 280 ng/µl


  • Transduction of 2x6 wells was successfully done (14.25)
  • one six well was transduced with 10µg the other with 30µg DNA amount

The results

The Transduction efficency is still quite low! We have to optimize the stratagene protocol!

30.6 Examination of different Transduction methods


The motivation
We want to rise the amount of transduced particels, instead of 500µl, 1000µl of the AAV-stock getting pipetted into each well. the second plate gets stimulated via UV-light to boost the expression of DNA-Repair mechanisms. This should enhance the second strand synthesis of our ssDNA-GOI => a rise of YFP Expression!
The plan

1. Plate I(A is up)

3x10^5 cells 3x10^5 cells 3x10^5 cells
3x10^5 cells 3x10^5 cells 3x10^5 cells

Transduction:

1000 µl of Viral Stock DROPPED 1000 µl of Viral Stock gently resuspended1500 µl of Viral Stock hard resuspending
1000 µl of Viral Stock DROPPED 1000 µl of Viral Stock gently resuspended no Transduction



2. Plate II (A is up)

about 3x10^5 cells only mediumonly medium
about 3x10^5 cells only mediumonly medium


Transduction:

1500 µl of Viral Stock gently resuspended no Transductionno Transduction
1500 µl of Viral Stock gently resuspended no Transductionno Transduction


The results
All cells are dead. It was not possible to take pictures because the dead cells were all clumped up. Looks like we should not transduce 3x10^5 cells with 1000 µl (or more) of our viral solution because almost all cells died in all approaches and the medium indicator was yellow. So we can not say if resuspendig the cells with the viral soultion is a useful alteration of the standard protocol.


3.7 Seeding AAV293 for transfection with different plasmid amounts and harvesting methods


The motivation
We want to check if the amount of plasmids is the reason for the low transduction efficiency. Our main problem is that the flow cytometry (FACS) is not available, so the results have to be checked via fuorescence microscopy.
The plan
Transfection with P41 was performed according standart protocol. Two transfections where carried out with 10µg (3,33 µg each plasmid) DNA and the other two with 20µg DNA (6,66 µg each plasmid).
We want to investigate which of the following approaches yields a better transduction efficiency.

  • Half of the transfected cells were exposed 3 cycles of thawing and freezing and then centrifuged (15 ml falcon, 2100G). The supernatant was transfered into a new 15 ml falcon and used for transduction.
  • The other half was centrifuged at 300 G for 5min . The supernatant was transfered into another 15 ml falcon and the pellet was resuspended with 5 ml of DMEM. The content of these two falcons was also exposed to 3 cycles of thawing and freezing and then used for transduction.
  • We have got 2 10 cm cellculture dishes with 10µg and 2 dishes with 20µg DNA used for transfection.

Approach with standart protocol (one dish with 10 and the other with 20µg Plasmids)(2100 G and 3 cycles of freezing and thawing)

Deviations from the standart protocol:

  • The cells were centrifuged at 2100 G instead of 10.000 G
  • The viruses were harvested after 44 hours
  • 3 cycles of freezing and thawing


  • used plasmids: 10µg, 20µg YFP
  • we have 10µg and 20µg from standart protocol => SV
  • we have 10µg and 20µg from standart protocol pellet => Pellet
  • we have 10µg and 20µg from standart protocol suspension => Super
  • amount of 500µl

Results of transduction with different harvested viral particles

plate 1 A 2


We only took some pictures from single cells, because there was no significant difference in fluorescence between each sample. The main conclusion of this experiment is, that we have to get the flow cytometry started.

11.8.2010 Transduction of HT1080 with no AAV, AAV without GOI and AAV with 10µg -> FACS

The motivation: In the past, the percentage of living cells in FACS was very low (~ 70%) so we want to check if the AAV-induced stress is responsible for cellular death, or the detaching procedure (trypsin and mechanical stress).

The plan
Plate I

control, no cells no GOI 150µl10µg 500µl
control, no virusno GOI 300µl 10µg 750µl


Plate II

control, no cells no GOI 150µl10µg 500µl
control, no virusno GOI 300µl 10µg 750µl

Plate III

control, no cells no GOI 150µl10µg 500µl
control, no virusno virus 10µg 750µl


The results

ADD FACS DATA
The YFP expression is still quite low. This was kind of anticipated, the success in this experiment is the fact, that the amount of living cells is at a very high level! (~90%). The conclusion: Detach the cells fast! Use PBS which is not at 37°C (the PBS was 25min in the water bath), transfer the cells fast on ice after detaching!

The next steps are:

  • Is it possible, that freeze/thaw circles reduce the transduction efficiency?
  • Why is the YFP-expression that low? (~28-30%)

12.8 Virus production, seeding A431 cells


The motivation
In first place we want to create new stock of AAV without GOI, the next viral stock is with correct TK/GMK, the last stocks are with different YFP-amounts to check if the amount of GOI is a critical step for transduction effency (transgene expression).
The plan
See transduction protocoll for further information, the final cantrifugation step was done with 2000 g 5 min.
The results
Ten viral stocks with 3 ml each were prepared.

16.8: The fluorescence was quite low (~ 5%)in nearly every well! The 40µg YFP wells were the only exception.

The conclusions
The incubation step of CaCl2 seems to be crucial! The next transfection protocol is with a 30 min incubation on ice step! Seeding HEK293 for transfection at monday 16.8

The motivation

Which confluence of HEK293 cells is optimal for AAV production?

The plan

We seed different amounts of cells, and check the highest titer.

The results

Fluorescence microscopy of transduction at 14.8 transfection of plates from 13.8

Working steps:

  1. Remove the three plasmids to be co-transfected (the recombinant pAAV expression plasmid or control plasmid, pAAV-RC, and pHelper) from storage at –20°C.
  2. Pipet XXX µg of each of the three plasmid DNA solutions into an eppi. The standart protocol is: 10 µg per plasmid, experiment data showed that the amounts (3,3 µg, 6,6 µg and 10 µg per plasmid) showed similar results
  3. Fill up to 300 µl with sterile water. Add 300µl of 0.5 M CaCl2 and mix gentlyIncubation step 45 min on ice !!!!!!
  4. Pipet 600 µl ml of 2 × HBS into a 15-ml falcon.
  5. Vortex the falcon (with the 2x HBS) gently!!!! while pipetting the DNA/CaCl2 solution dropwise into the falcon (use the Pipetus).
  6. Apply the DNA/CaCl2/HBS suspension to the plate of cells in a dropwise fashion(experimental data shows that resuspending-fashion is better for high titer), swirling gently to distribute the DNA suspension evenly in the medium.
  7. Return the tissue culture plate to the 37°C room for 6 hours.
  8. At the end of the incubation period, remove the medium from the plate and wash cells with warm PBS, replace it with 10 ml of fresh DMEM growth medium.This is a crucial step! The transfection-stress kills nearly all cells if theres no medium change
  9. Return the plate to the 37°C incubator for an additional 72 hours.

Harvesting viral stock from 18.8.2010 and following transduction

Checking transduction efficiency via fluorescence microscopy

the motivation

The transduction efficiency from the viral stocks which were created with different amounts of AAV293 was checked.

The plan

  1. plate 1:
    • stock 1 (with 100.000 cells)
    • stock 2 (with 200.000 cells)
  2. plate 2:
    • stock 3 (with 400.000 cells)
    • stock 4 (with 500.000 cells)
  3. plate 3:
    • stock 5 (with 800.000 cells)
    • stock 6 (with 1.000.000 cells)
  4. plate 4:
    • stock 7 (with 1.200.000 cells)
    • stock 8 (with 1.500.000 cells)
  5. plate 5:
    • stock 9 (with 1.750.000 cells)
    • stock 10 (with 1.750.000 cells)

The results

the optimal confluence of AAv293 cells is between 100 000 and 800 000 cells. This will be the field of investigation in the next experiments

The results

Freiburg10 30.2010 FACS number of Cells and Beas construct.jpg

Data were not reliable (The amount of Goi (3,3 µg instead of 10µg) was not sufficient enough)so the average YFP expression is quite low, but the remarkable note is: Beas construct (pSB1C3_leftITR_CMV_betaglobin_mVenus_hGH_rightITR) fusioned from the created Biobricks still works!
