PC-9, formerly known as PC-14, is a human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell line harboring a deletion mutation in exon 19 of the EGFR gene. It originates from undifferentiated human lung tissue adenocarcinoma and consists of a heterogeneous mixture of round and spindle-shaped cells. PC-9 cells exhibit adherent and suspension growth properties. They are used to study the effect of alpha-tocopherol on cytotoxic drugs, investigating whether it enhances or diminishes their effectiveness against NSCLC. In addition, PC-9 cells can be used as a model to study the resistance of lung cancer to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) and help to understand the related mechanisms. GFP/Luc Reporter Cell Line - PC-9 is a bioengineered cell line designed for biomedical research and drug testing purposes. It is derived from the human lung cancer cell line PC-9. This cell line has been genetically engineered to stably express green fluorescent protein (GFP) and luciferase (Luc) reporter genes. GFP is a protein that fluoresces green when exposed to light in the blue to ultraviolet range, making it easy to visualize and monitor in real time. Luc, on the other hand, is a luminescent enzyme found in fireflies that produces a detectable bioluminescent signal in the presence of a luciferin substrate.
The GFP/Luc reporter cell line - PC-9 is a powerful tool for biomedical research and drug discovery. Here are some applications of this cell line: Drug efficacy testing: GFP/Luc Reporter Cell Line-PC-9 can be used to test the efficacy and toxicity of various drugs. The luciferase gene in the cell line produces a light-emitting enzyme that can be used to monitor changes in cellular physiology following drug treatment. Study gene expression: The GFP/Luc Reporter cell line can be used to study the expression of genes of interest. If the target gene is active, the reporter gene (GFP/Luc) emits light, and this light can be measured to study gene expression levels. Disease Model: The PC-9 cell line is a human lung cancer cell line that can be used to create lung cancer disease models. This helps researchers understand the pathophysiology of lung cancer, its genetic variations and the effects of various drugs on these cancer cells. Cellular Pathway Analysis: The GFP/Luc reporter cell line - PC-9 is also used to analyze various cellular pathways. Researchers can study how signals are transmitted within cells and how this signaling affects various cellular functions. High-throughput screening: This reporter cell line is suitable for high-throughput screening of drugs or compounds. The luminescent properties of the GFP/Luc reporter allow easy and rapid detection and quantification of cellular responses to various compounds. Tumor growth and metastasis studies: The PC-9 cell line can be used to study tumor growth and metastasis in various in vitro and in vivo models. The bioluminescent properties of the reporter help track the proliferation and spread of cancer cells.
