Knockout studies of Panc1 cells / Knockout studier av Panc1 celler

Sundin, Martin January 2021 (has links)
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a highly lethal form of cancerwith very few available treatment options of which none has great effect.Cancer cells and stromal cells such as stellate cells which exist in abundancein PDAC interact by crosstalk, resulting in a tumorigenic collective response.With the help of a previously developed 3D co-culture spheroid model theeffect of a CRISPR/cas9 knockout of the cellular communication cetworkfactor 1 (CCN1) gene together with gemcitabine (GEM) treatment has beeninvestigated in terms of Panc1 cell viability and gene expression. Spheroidsconsisting of wild-type and knockout cell lines, each identified by westernblots were cultured, imaged and treated. Viability assays and RNA extractionfollowed by PCR showed that the viability of the cancer cells in the spheroidswere higher for the cells with CCN1 knockout. Cancer cells were also coculturedwith stellate cells with the goal of investigating the effect of thecellular crosstalk on chemoresistance. / Pankreatisk duktal adenokarcinom (PDAC)  är en ytterst dödlig form av cancermed få tillgängliga behandlingsalternativ, varav ingen är särskilt effektiv.Cancerceller och stromala celler så som de stellatceller som rikligt förekommeri PDAC interagerar med varandra genom överhörning, vilket leder till en effektsom hjälper tumören att proliferera. Effekten av en CRISPR/cas9 knockoutav genen CCN1 tillsammans med behandling med gemcitabin vad gällercellviabilitet och genuttryck studerades med hjälp av en tidigare utveckladfleratig sfäroidmodell. Sfäroider, bestående av vildtypceller och knockoutcellerlinjersom identifierades med western blots, odlades, fotades och behandlades.Viabilitetstester och extraktion av RNA följt av PCR visade att viabilitetenav cancerceller i sfäroiderna var högre för de celler som var knockout.Cancerceller samodlades även med stellatceller med målet att undersökaeffekten av cellernas överhörning på motståndet mot kemoterapi.
