The Luciferase Reporter Cell Line - BXPC-3 is a specialized cell model engineered to express the luciferase gene, which serves as a bioluminescent reporter for monitoring gene expression and cellular responses. Luciferase, derived from the Latin word "lucifer," meaning "light-bringing," is an enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of luciferin, resulting in the emission of light. This property makes it an ideal marker for studying gene expression, as the intensity of light produced is proportional to the amount of luciferase, and thus the activity of the promoter driving its expression. The BXPC-3 cell line, originating from a human pancreatic carcinoma, is a well-established model for pancreatic cancer research. When this cell line is modified to stably express the luciferase gene, it becomes a powerful tool for studying the molecular mechanisms underlying pancreatic cancer progression, metastasis, and response to therapeutic agents. Researchers can use this cell line to screen for compounds that modulate gene expression, identify potential drug targets, and evaluate the efficacy of novel therapeutic strategies in a preclinical setting.

One of the most aggressive cancers still is pancreatic cancer (PC), which is defined by a bad prognosis and few treatment choices. To improve diagnostic and therapy effectiveness, researchers have been investigating molecular markers and focused treatments. In this setting, a recent work examined the function of microRNA-543 in PC, including its interaction with the serine/threonine kinase STK31 and the long non-coding RNA LINC00847. Using the BxPC-3 cell line, researchers clarified the fundamental processes controlling cell proliferation, invasion, and death using Western blotting, quantitative real-time PCR, and luciferase reporter assays. The findings revealed that low levels of microRNA-543 correlate with increased expression of STK31 and LINC00847, highlighting a potential pathway for therapeutic intervention.

Figure 1 shows the interactions between STK31 and microRNA-543, stressing their expression levels in pancreatic cancer tissues and cells as well as the consequences of microRNA-543 on STK31 protein levels and associated with patient survival. (doi: 10.21037/jgo-23-392)Figure 1. The researchers used qRT-PCR and Western blotting to analyze STK31 expression in pancreatic cancer tissues and BxPC-3 cells, exploring its interaction with microRNA-543. (Liu Y, et al., 2023)

Creative Biogene's luciferase Reporter Cell Line, based on the BXPC-3 model, is designed for similar investigative purposes. This cell line can facilitate the study of gene regulation and signaling pathways in pancreatic cancer research, especially in relation to microRNA functions and their molecular targets. By integrating our luciferase reporter technology, researchers can easily monitor transcriptional activity and understand the dynamic interactions between microRNAs and their targets.

Luciferase Reporter Cell Line - BXPC-3 The Luciferase Reporter Cell Line - BXPC-3 is a pancreatic cancer cell line engineered to express the luciferase gene, which allows for the bioluminescent measurement of cellular activity and gene expression. This cell line is particularly useful for studying the behavior of pancreatic cancer cells and for the development of novel therapeutic strategies. (1)Cancer Progression and Metastasis Research: The BXPC-3 cell line can be utilized to investigate the mechanisms of cancer progression and metastasis. By monitoring luciferase activity, researchers can track the growth and spread of pancreatic cancer cells both in vitro and in vivo, providing valuable insights into the biology of this aggressive disease. (2)Drug Screening and Development: The luciferase reporter system in BXPC-3 cells enables high-throughput screening of compounds for their potential to inhibit pancreatic cancer cell growth. Researchers can assess the efficacy of new drugs and identify potential therapeutic agents that target specific cellular processes or pathways involved in cancer progression. (3)Gene Function and Signaling Pathway Analysis: The BXPC-3 Luciferase Reporter Cell Line can be used to study the function of genes and signaling pathways that are dysregulated in pancreatic cancer. By manipulating gene expression and observing changes in luciferase activity, researchers can gain a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying cancer development and identify potential therapeutic targets.

This allows for the evaluation of experimental therapies and the identification of potential treatments for pancreatic cancer.

What are the advantages of using the Luciferase Reporter Cell Line - BXPC-3 compared to traditional cell lines for studying pancreatic cancer biology?

A: The Luciferase Reporter Cell Line - BXPC-3 offers several advantages over traditional cell lines in studying pancreatic cancer biology. Firstly, its stable expression of luciferase enables longitudinal monitoring of tumor growth and metastasis in vivo, providing insights into disease progression. Secondly, BXPC-3 cells retain characteristics of pancreatic cancer cells, making them a relevant model for investigating disease mechanisms and therapeutic interventions.

How can the Luciferase Reporter Cell Line - BXPC-3 be employed in investigating the efficacy of novel chemotherapeutic agents for pancreatic cancer treatment?

A: In investigating the efficacy of novel chemotherapeutic agents for pancreatic cancer treatment, the Luciferase Reporter Cell Line - BXPC-3 can be used to evaluate tumor response in preclinical studies. Researchers can administer candidate drugs to mice bearing BXPC-3 xenograft tumors and monitor changes in luciferase activity over time using bioluminescence imaging. This allows for the identification of promising drug candidates for further development.

What role does the Luciferase Reporter Cell Line - BXPC-3 play in studying the tumor microenvironment of pancreatic cancer?

A: The Luciferase Reporter Cell Line - BXPC-3 is instrumental in studying the tumor microenvironment of pancreatic cancer. By co-culturing BXPC-3 cells with stromal cells or immune cells, researchers can investigate the interactions between tumor cells and the surrounding microenvironment. Luciferase expression enables quantification of changes in tumor growth and response to microenvironmental cues or therapeutic interventions, providing insights into disease progression and treatment strategies.

Could you explain the process of generating stable luciferase-expressing cell lines using the Luciferase Reporter Cell Line - BXPC-3?

A: Generating stable luciferase-expressing cell lines with the Luciferase Reporter Cell Line - BXPC-3 involves transfecting the cells with a luciferase expression vector, followed by selection with antibiotics or selection markers. Clonal selection may be performed to isolate individual clones with stable luciferase expression. These clones can then be expanded and characterized for their luciferase activity before experimental use in studying pancreatic cancer biology and therapy.
