HT-1080 Cell Line:

Fibrosarcoma is a malignant tumor originating from fibrous connective tissue that mostly affects men in their 30s and 40s and involves immature proliferating fibroblasts. The HT-1080 cell line was originally established in 1972 from the tumorigenic connective tissue of a 35-year-old Caucasian male patient with fibrosarcoma. These cells exhibit an epithelial morphology and contain an activated N-ras oncogene. HT-1080 cells are susceptible to a variety of viruses, including polio, RD-114 feline virus, feline leukemia virus, and vesicular stomatitis virus. These cells are used for research related to cancer of connective tissues. A life science company Altogen Biosystems manufactures in vitro transfection kits for a vast array of cell lines, including the two-component lipid-based advanced formulation HT-1080 transfection reagent kit for human fibrosarcoma cells that yields high transfection efficiency of siRNA delivery.

HT1080 is a human fibrosarcoma cell line that was originally derived from a tumor in a patient with fibrosarcoma. It is widely used in cancer research as a model system to study various aspects of cancer biology, including cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and metastasis. HT1080 cells are known for their ability to invade and migrate through extracellular matrix, which makes them a valuable tool for studying cancer metastasis. Researchers also use HT1080 cells to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying cancer development and progression, and to identify potential therapeutic targets and biomarkers of the disease.

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).

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.
