Astrocyte Cells (Primary Astrocytes and Astroglia):
The human brain comprises two major cell types: neurons and glia. Neurons are responsible for transmitting nerve signals while glia safeguard neurons. Astrocytes, a sort of glial cells, make over 50% of all brain cells. In the event of any distress to the Central Nervous System (CNS), a process called gliosis is triggered. Gliosis involves the rapid differentiation of glial cells to provide mechanical support to neurons. However, excessive gliosis is symptomatic of various forms of brain cancer. Per the study published in the January 2016 issue of Tumor Biology, astrocytes play an important role in controlling the environment around a tumor. Astrocytes retard the detection of cancer cells by the immune system and help enhance their proliferation. Preclinical research targeting astrocytes can provide valuable insight into molecular pathways that can curb tumors. Transfection is a well-regarded technique to conduct preclinical research in many different cells, including astrocytes.
Astrocytes are star-shaped glial cells in the brain and spinal cord. Astrocytes are supportive cells, and their functions include biochemical support of endothelial cells, which form the blood-brain barrier, providing nutrients to the nerve tissue, extracellular K+ level regulation, neurotransmitters removal, and helping repair the brain and spinal cord following traumatic injuries. They are also dependent on myelination and synapses formation. Many primary astrocytes express the intermediate filament glial fibrillary acidic protein or GFAP. Research indicates that astrocytes communicate with neurons through the release of gliotransmitters via a calcium ion process. There are three types of astrocytes in the central nervous system: fibrous, protoplasmic and radial. It is believed astrocytes cell bodies are separate and do not overlap.
Astrocytes, also known as astroglia, are cells in living organisms that make up parts of the nervous system, particularly in the brain and spinal cord. They work with the body’s natural response to trauma in the brain and spinal cord, by repairing and providing nutrients to affected areas. Because of this, astrocytes may be useful in the study of specific medical treatments for patients suffering from spinal cord injuries. These cells are crucial to research in the field of neuroscience.
Primary cell cultures are used in biological and gene therapy studies and serve as valuable model systems that may more accurately represent the biology of healthy cells. Many cultured cell lines, as well as the majority of primary cell cultures, can be transfected with exogenous nucleic acids when appropriate transfection approaches are employed. Since the majority of transfection methods causes significant toxicity in primary cell cultures, optimizing this procedure, specifically the protocol and reagents to be utilized, is essential for developing an effective transfection strategies for a given cell type. ALTOGEN® Kits for primary cells and sensitive cell lines have been designed to have significantly lower cytotoxicity than other alternatives.
Data:
Figure 1. SiRNAs targeting Lamin A/C mRNA or non-silencing control siRNA were transfected into actrocyte cells following the recommended protocol. At 48 hours post-transfection the cells were analyzed by qRT-PCR for gene expression levels. 18S rRNA levels were used to normalize the Lamin A/C data. Values are normalized to untreated sample. Data are means ± SD (n=3).
Figure 2. Protein expression of Lamin A/C in Astrocyte cells. DNA plasmid expressing Lamin A/C or siRNA targeting Lamin A/C were transfected into Astrocyte cells following Altogen Biosystems transfection protocol. At 72 hours post-transfection the cells were analyzed by Western Blot for protein expression levels (normalized by total protein, 10 µg of total protein loaded per each well). Untreated cells used as a negative control.

大家都是用什么方法挑选细胞单克隆的
单克隆:单克隆是指‘子代来源于一个母体.
细胞培养:细胞的大规模克隆.细胞培养,既包括微生物细胞的培养,细胞培养技术可以由一个细胞经过大量培养成为简单的单细胞或极少分化的多细胞.
单克隆一般常指动植物细胞的克隆,细胞培养一般是指动物、微生物等细胞的细胞克隆.
二者没有什么明显区别.单克隆在单克隆抗体制备中比较常见.其实是对骨髓瘤细胞的细胞培养.
目标蛋白对细胞有毒性,导致细胞死亡;
转染试剂以及DNA用量信息需要优化,否则对细胞具有伤害;
细胞贴壁转染之后没有正常换液。
建议:考虑对目标蛋白进行截短构建、尝试其他细胞系统;摸索转染试剂以及DNA用量信息,如果转染试剂毒性太大,可以考虑尝试义翘转染试剂sinofection;对转染后的细胞进行换液处理,如果细胞状态感觉不够理想,可以考虑添加一些血清来帮助细胞恢复健康。
以上所有分析、建议的前提是,细胞培养、无菌操作等等都没有问题。祝顺利,加油~
我转的是7901、7901/DDP两种细胞,前者7901细胞很容易就转上,并且转后,状态良好,可是7901/DDP一转就死,我用的是吉玛慢病毒,转24小时后换液,刚开始一两天,没有异常,但后来细胞慢慢就死了,并且不是漂浮的,很多是贴着壁死,像是瓦解了一样
这是未转时细胞的样子
这是细胞转后,死亡的样子
并且即使是有些细胞未死,细胞后来也变得很脏,感觉有很破碎的细胞碎片
本人实验小白,**园子里大神指点,急,实在不知道怎么回事
“转化”是指含外源基因的重组质粒(载体)将外源基因直接导入原核细胞(如细菌);
“转导”指通过重组病毒载体将外源基因导入真核细胞或原核细胞;
“转染”指重组质粒载体或游离核苷酸在脂质体等介导下进入真核细胞;
“感染”在基因转移实验中强调重组病毒载体入侵受体细胞的过程。
在使用这4 个名词时, 应仔细分析基因转移实验的四要素——转移物、载体、介导方法、受体细胞类型,而正确区 分载体和受体细胞类型是辨析的关键点。当载体是重组质粒时,如受体细胞是原核细胞应使 用“转化”,如受体细胞是真核细胞则使用“转染”;当载体是重组病毒时,如强调转移物进 入受体细胞应使用“转导”,如强调重组病毒载体进入受体细胞的过程则使用“感染”。
各位版友求助,
我使用Hek293构建转染模型,瞬转5质粒,用lipo2000做转染体系。
转染48h,发现荧光较强的细胞都在爬片的边缘,比例十分少。是因为我添加试剂的手法不对吗。
同时也发现加入转染体系后细胞状态特别差。想问一下用lipo2000时可以用无双抗的10%FBSDMEM吗。我转染前6h现在用的是纯DMEM,不含FBS。
请各位大神帮忙
转染分2种,一种是瞬时转染,即转染后让细胞表达目的蛋白后即提取蛋白,提一次蛋白,转染一次,这种方式一般不传代;
另一种转染为稳定转染,转染后加入一定选择压力进行筛选,没有转染的细胞不能存活,只留下转染的细胞,这种情况下可以筛选单个转染细胞,构建稳定表达某一特定蛋白或基因的细胞系。
其次要看下你选择单位的规模如何,做的比较好的,还是上海这边的,你可以看下基尔顿生物,原代细胞培养,动物造模,整体课题外包。
