Analysis of transcriptome of mouse melanoma cells co-cultured with HEK293T cells expressing mouse Siglec1.

To evaluate the effect of mouse Siglec1 on B16F10 melanoma we used co-culture methos where HEK293T cells were transiently transfected with plasmid containg mouse Siglec1 or empty plasmid (mock). These HEK293T cells were cultured with B16F10-GFP mouse melanoma cells for 18 hours in low binding plates. After 18 hours of incubation on 37°C, 5% CO2, melanoma cells were FACS sorted based on GFP expression and total RNA was isolated and used for TruSeq RNA library construction for transcriptome analysis. Samples were from 3 independent experiments. The library preparation and NGS data aquisition were performed by Macrogen (Macrogen, Inc., Korea) Transcriptome profile of mouse melanoma cells cocultured with mouse Siglec1 expressing cells generated by NGS, in triplicate using Illumina HiSeq4000.
