Title Combinatorial expression of cell cycle regulators is more suitable for immortalization than oncogenic methods in dermal papilla cells.
Journal iScience
Abstract The immortalized cell is an essential research tool that uses robust growth properties for the functional investigation of gene products. Immortalized mammalian cells have mainly been established using three methods: expression of simian vacuolating virus 40 T antigen (the SV40 method); human papilloma virus-derived oncoprotein E6/E7 (the E6/E7 method); or combinatorial expression of R24C mutant cyclin-dependent kinase 4, cyclin D1, and telomerase reverse transcriptase (the K4DT method). However, it is unclear as to which method is optimal for an in vitro model. Here, we compared the biological characteristics and genome-wide expression profiles of immortalized human dermal papilla cells generated by the SV40, E6/E7, or K4DT method. To our knowledge, this is the first study to comprehensively compare expression profiles to determine the optimal immortalization method for maintaining the original nature of the wild-type cells. These data would be valuable to scientists aiming to establish new immortalized cell lines.
