U266 cells are a human multiple myeloma-derived cell line widely used in research due to their indefinite proliferative capacity and their ability to recapitulate key features of plasma cell malignancies. The U266-GFP/Luc cell line was engineered by stably integrating green fluorescent protein (GFP) and luciferase (Luc) reporter genes into U266 cells. The GFP reporter enables real-time visualization and tracking of cells in both live animal models and in vitro experiments using fluorescence microscopy. Meanwhile, the luciferase reporter allows for quantitative assessment of cell viability and tumor growth via bioluminescence imaging, which detects light emission from the enzymatic reaction between luciferase and its substrate. This dual-reporter system provides researchers with a powerful tool to:
  • Monitor myeloma progression dynamically,
  • Assess therapeutic responses in real time,
  • Study tumor-microenvironment interactions,
  • Evaluate novel drug candidates in preclinical models.
  • By delivering quantitative data on tumor burden and cellular behavior, the U266-GFP/Luc cell line serves as an essential model for advancing our understanding of multiple myeloma and developing more effective treatments.
    The GFP/Luc reporter cell line - U266 has five applications: Drug screening: The GFP/Luc reporter cell line can be used to evaluate the efficacy and cytotoxicity of new drug candidates by monitoring GFP and luciferase activity, allowing researchers to efficiently identify potential therapeutic agents. Gene expression studies: Researchers can use this cell line to study gene expression regulation and functional analysis of target genes, using dual reporters for both quantitative and qualitative assessments. Signal transduction studies: The GFP/Luc reporter cell line is a valuable tool for examining intracellular signal transduction pathways. The dual reporter provides real-time insight into the activation or inhibition of specific signaling cascades. Cancer research: The GFP/Luc reporter cell line is particularly useful in multiple myeloma research, facilitating the study of cancer cell behavior, including proliferation, apoptosis, and metastasis, under a variety of experimental conditions. In vivo imaging: The luciferase reporter enables non-invasive, real-time imaging of tumor growth and metastasis in animal models, enhancing the understanding of tumor dynamics and the effectiveness of anticancer treatments.
