Cat. No. CSC-RR0124
Description SW480 was derived from colon of a 50 year-old male with colorectal adenocarcinoma. SW480 is negative for CSAp (CSAp-) and colon antigen 3 and are positive for keratin by immunoperoxidase staining. There is a G to A mutation in codon 273 of the p53 gene resulting in an Arg to His substitution and a C to T mutation in codon 309 resulting in a Pro to Ser substitution. SW480 cells express elevated levels of p53 protein. The line is positive for expression of c-myc, K-ras, H-ras, N-ras, myb, sis and fos oncogenes. N-myc oncogene expression was not detected. Matrilysin, a metalloproteinase associated with tumor invasiveness, is not expressed. SW480 cells have been reported to produce GM-CSF. The GFP Stable Cell Line-SW480 constitutively expresses GFP.

GFP-stable cell line Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP), a widely utilized marker in cell biology studies, is designed to be expressed in SW480. GFP is a fluorescent protein that is commonly used to visualize protein localization, track cell movement, and monitor gene expression. It is produced from the jellyfish Aequorea victoria. The human colon adenocarcinoma that gave rise to the SW480 cell line is widely used in cancer research. Under normal cell culture conditions, these cells develop naturally in monolayers and have an epithelial shape. Due to their well-known tumorigenic qualities, SW480 cells have been thoroughly investigated in relation to the biology of colorectal cancer.

The immune system and tumor cells interact dynamically in a process known as cancer immunoediting. Using a zebrafish xenograft model, the researchers analyze the dynamics of cancer immunoediting using the Luc Reporter Cell Line-B16F10 cell line. This cell line enables luciferase-based bioluminescence imaging to be used for real-time monitoring of tumor progression and immune cell interactions. By examining the interactions between distinct subtypes of colorectal cancer cells and innate immune cells, such as neutrophils and macrophages, they clarify the mechanisms involved in tumor clearance as opposed to progression. The study's results emphasize the function of myeloid cells in this procedure and propose zebrafish xenografts as possible indicators for evaluating the dynamics of the tumor microenvironment.

The Figure 1 describes an experiment where zebrafish innate immune cells (macrophages) are studied for their role in clearing SW480 tumor cells. (doi: 10.1038/s41467-021-21421-y)Figure 1. By using GFP-transfected parental cells injected into tumors at 1 and 4 dpi for scRNAseq analysis, the researchers used Luc Reporter Cell Line-B16F10 to investigate molecular alterations underlying SW480 escapers by single-cell transcriptome profiling.

1. Protein localization and tracking: Using GFP stable cell lines expressed in SW480 cells, realize protein localization and tracking in cells, and explore the distribution and function of proteins in organelles and subcellular structures. 2. Cell migration and proliferation: Through GFP labeling, study the migration and proliferation process of SW480 cells, deeply explore the metastatic ability and invasiveness of colorectal cancer cells, and provide new understanding and treatment strategies for the occurrence and metastasis of colorectal cancer. 3. Gene expression monitoring: Use GFP fluorescence signals to monitor gene expression levels and dynamic changes in SW480 cells, revealing the regulatory mechanism and expression pattern of key genes in colorectal cancer cells. 4. Drug screening and evaluation: With the help of GFP stable cell lines, conduct drug screening and evaluation experiments to evaluate the effects of candidate drugs on the growth and survival of SW480 cells, and provide new ideas and methods for the screening and development of colorectal cancer treatment drugs. 5. Colorectal cancer research: As a representative of human colon adenocarcinoma cell lines, SW480 cells are of great significance in colorectal cancer research. By using GFP stable cell lines, we can conduct in-depth research on the pathogenesis, therapeutic targets and drug resistance mechanisms of colorectal cancer, providing new breakthroughs for clinical treatment.
Customer Q&As
What is the GFP expression level of GFP Stable Cell Line-SW480 stable cell line? Is it stable under different culture conditions?

A: Our GFP Stable Cell Line-SW480 has undergone strict screening and verification to ensure the stable expression of the GFP gene. Through methods such as fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry, we verified the expression level of GFP and performed repeated tests at different time points and in different batches. Cells can maintain stable GFP expression under appropriate culture conditions.

How does the SW480 background affect the performance of this GFP cell line? Are special culture conditions required?

A: The impact of the SW480 cell line as a vector on GFP stable cell lines is considered to be minimal. However, we recommend that customers pay attention to the special growth requirements of the SW480 cell line during use, such as culture medium components and culture conditions, to ensure optimal expression and stability of the cells. We provide detailed training guides to help clients overcome potential issues.

Have the cell lines for this product passed quality control testing? What are the inspection standards?

A: Yes, our GFP Stable Cell Line-SW480 has passed strict quality control inspection. We verify cell lines according to international and internal standards, including stability of gene expression, cell morphology, contaminant detection, etc. We ensure that each batch of cell lines meets our quality standards to ensure our customers receive a high-quality product.

Stable growth

I have been using the GFP stable cell line-SW480 provided by this supplier for some time, and overall the experience is moderate. The fluorescence intensity is stable and suitable for short-term experiments. Pay attention to changes in fluorescence intensity during long-term culture. I'll observe again.
