Products > HT-1080 Transfection Reagent (Fibrosarcoma Cells)
HT-1080 Cell Line Description and Applications
The HT-1080 cell line originates from a 35-year old Caucasian male patient who suffered from fibrosarcoma. The cells were derived in 1972 from the tumorigenic connective tissue. This cell line displays epithelial morphology. The HT-1080 cell line is susceptible to several viruses including feline leukemia virus, vesicular stomatitis virus and RD-114 feline virus. The cell line has a chromosomal modal number of 46 and contains the activated N-ras oncogene. The HT-1080 cell line has applications for studying cancers of connective tissue.

Products > HT-1080 Transfection Reagent (Fibrosarcoma Cells)
HT-1080 Transfection Protocol
1. Plate 10, ,000 HT-1080 cells per well in 0.5 ml of complete growth medium 12–24 hours prior to transfection
2. Wash with 1xPBS and add 0.5 ml of fresh growth medium
3. Prepare transfection complexes by mixing 40 µl of serum-free medium, 5.5 µl of transfection reagent, and
• 750 ng DNA (or mRNA), or
• 30 nM - 50 nM of siRNA (or microRNA)
*Referred to a final volume including growth medium
4. Incubate transfection complexes at RT for minutes
5. Optional: Add 2 µl of Complex Condenser. This reagent reduces the size of transfection complex, therefore increasing transfection efficiency; however it may increase cell toxicity
6. Add prepared transfection complexes to 0.5 ml of complete growth medium with HT-1080 cells (from step 2)
7. Incubate cells at 37ºC in a humidified CO2 incubator
8. Assay for phenotype or target gene expression hours after transfection
Optional: Transfection efficiency can be increased by addition of Transfection Enhancer reagent. Add 2 µl of Transfection Enhancer reagent hours after transfection
If the viability of HT-1080 cells being transfected is affected at hours post-transfection, the level of cytotoxicity can be decreased by changing the growth medium and eliminating redundant exposure of cells to transfectant

Data
Figure 1. GAPD mRNA levels were quantified using real-time RT-PCR in the HT-1080 cells transfected with siRNAs targeting GAPD or non-silencing siRNA. Forty-eight hours post-transfection, the cells were harvested and analyzed by real-time RT-PCR for GAPD mRNA expression levels. Data were normalized against the 18S rRNA signal. Control samples were either mock-transfected or untreated. Values are normalized to untreated sample. Data are means ± SD (n=5).

Data
Figure 2. Protein expression of GAPDH in HT-1080 cells. DNA plasmid expressing GAPDH or siRNA targeting GAPDH were transfected into HT-1080 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.
