Cell Lines

Cell Lines

A cell line is a population of cells grown in vitro that can be subcultured over several generations. Normal cells cease to divide after a certain number of cell divisions, a process known as replicative senescence. This number, called the Hayflick limit, was conceptualized by Leonard Hayflick in 1961 when he observed that fetal cells grown in culture could only divide 40-60 times. This limit is due to the shortening of the telomeres during each round of cell division, preventing cell division...

Cell Specific Gene Expression

Cell Specific Gene Expression

Multicellular organisms contain a variety of structurally and functionally distinct cell types, but the DNA in all the cells originated from the same parent cells. The differences in the cells can be attributed to the differential gene expression. Liver cells, whose functions include detoxification of blood, production of bile to metabolize fats, and synthesis of proteins essential for metabolism, must express a specific set of genes to perform their functions. Gene expression also varies with...

Background:

Existing methods like single-cell RNA sequencing struggle to correlate live-cell phenotypes with molecular profiles.
A gap exists in understanding cellular heterogeneity due to the inability to link dynamic live-cell behaviors (e.g., invasiveness, interactions) with multi-omic data.

Approach:

Developed Spatiotemporal Genomics and Cellular Analysis (SaGA), an imaging-based protocol for selecting, isolating, and expanding phenotypically distinct live-cells.
Utilizes photoconvertible fluorescent proteins and live-cell confocal microscopy for optical highlighting of target cells.
Employs fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) for precise isolation of highlighted cells from their microenvironment.

Key Points:

SaGA enables the integration of historical live-cell phenotypes with multi-omics data.
Isolated cells can be used for downstream multi-omics analysis or cellular propagation for in vitro/in vivo studies.
The protocol is flexible, applicable to various research conditions, and can be completed in one workday by non-specialists.

Conclusions:

SaGA bridges the gap between live-cell phenotypic observation and molecular characterization.
This technique generates multi-dimensional datasets to explore the relationship between live-cell phenotype and multi-omic heterogeneity.
Enables a more comprehensive understanding of cellular heterogeneity in both normal and diseased states.
