Major Aims

1. U2OS-PcTF and U2OS-TF stable cell lines ChIP-PCR on (1) PcTF, (2) H3K27me3, (3) H3K4me3, and (4) PolII before, during, and after PcTF expression at endogenous enhancer(s)

Nothing new.


2. Dox dose curve followed by flow cytometry and qRT-PCR on gene panel (subset of 8 genes + GAPDH + PcTF); also do this for TF cell line if possible

Performing cDNA synthesis on samples 1.1-1.3. Following instructions located here. Each sample will be reacted in triplicate (60 µL total volume).

Sample ID ng/µL 260/280
1.1 39.122 1.956
1.2 52.618 1.953
1.3 35.561 1.933

oligo(dT) Primer-RNA annealing reactions

Reagent Vol
total RNA (up to 2μg) up to 8 μL
50 μM oligo(dT) primer 1.0
10 mM dNTP mix 1.0
Water (SS III kit) = 8.0 - vol. total RNA
  10.0 μL

--> Incubate at 65°C/ 5 min. Immediately place on ice for 1 min.


cDNA synthesis mix

  • Total reactions = 9
  • Samples:
  1. 1.1 rxn 1
  2. 1.1 rxn 2
  3. 1.1 rxn 3
  4. 1.2 rxn 1
  5. 1.2 rxn 2
  6. 1.2 rxn 3
  7. 1.3 rxn 1
  8. 1.3 rxn 2
  9. 1.3 rxn 3
Reagent Single rxn. Mix (x10)
10x RT buffer 2.0 20
25 mM MgCl2 4.0 40
0.1 M DDT 2.0 20
RNaseOUT 1.0 10
SuperScript III RT 1.0 10
  10.0 μL 100 μL

--> Aliquot 10 μL of mix into 8-tube strip
--> Add annealing rxn. into each 10 μL aliquot
--> PCR machine: 50°C/ 50 min., 80°C/ 5 min., 4°C/ ∞
--> Add 1.0 μL RNase H, incubate at 37°C/ 20 min.
--> Store at -20°C

Meanwhile, start a new set of two 6-well plates of U2OS-PcTF and when sufficiently high cell density, induce with dox at 1 µg/mL, 31 ng/mL, 16 ng/mL, and 0 ng/mL (control) in triplicate (12 wells total) for 4 days. This will give us enough material for a higher-yield RNA extraction next week if needed.


3. qRT-PCR experiments with TF control plasmid, on U-2 OS, SK-N-SH and K562 cell lines. Cannot select stables because PcTF is toxic. Try normalizing to PcTF levels. Include CDKN2A.

Performing cDNA synthesis on U2OS-KAH132 transfected cells. Following instructions located here. For 72 hour samples, use 7.1 µL of RNA for sample 1 and 5.9 µL of RNA for sample 2.
