GPC3, also known as glypican 3, is a protein-coding gene belonging to the glypican family. Glypicans are heparan sulfate proteoglycans that are linked to the cell surface through glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchors. They are involved in the regulation of cell division and growth regulation. GPC3 mutations are associated with Simpson-Golabi-Behmel syndrome, a rare congenital disorder characterized by overgrowth and other abnormalities. Additionally, elevated levels of GPC3 were detected in the serum of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma, a type of liver cancer. GPC3 is expressed primarily in lung, ovary, and kidney cells and has the potential to interact with several other proteins, including members of the Wnt signaling pathway. Therefore, it plays an important role in cell communication and embryonic development. The human GPC3 stable cell line - CT26 is a powerful and reliable biological tool specifically designed for the purpose of studying GPC3 expression in a variety of studies and experiments. This stable cell line is based on the CT26 cell line, a murine colon cancer cell line. Although derived from a mouse model, it efficiently expresses human GPC3 and serves as a valuable model for understanding the function and impact of GPC3 in human biological processes. Therefore, the human GPC3 stable cell line - CT26 is an important resource for researchers in oncology, cell biology, and related fields.

Glypican 3 (GPC3) is a member of the heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG) family of glypicans. The GPC3 gene may play a role in controlling cell migration, negatively regulating cell growth, and inducing apoptosis. GPC3 is downregulated in several cancers, which may lead to uncontrolled cell growth and may also contribute to the malignant phenotype of some tumors. Here, researchers observed downregulation of GPC3 in clear cell renal cell carcinoma samples and cell lines compared with normal kidney samples. GPC3 mRNA expression and protein levels increased in 786-O and ACHN cell lines after transfection with a GPC3 expression construct, and cell proliferation rates were reduced in both cell lines after GPC3 overexpression. In addition, apoptosis was not induced in renal cell carcinoma cell lines overexpressing GPC3, and the population of cells in the G1 phase of the cell cycle increased. Therefore, the GPC3 gene reduces cell proliferation rate by arresting the cell cycle at the G1 phase in renal cell carcinoma.

Cell proliferation of ACHN and 786-O cells overexpressing GPC3 was measured by MTT assay 24, 48, 72, 96, and 120 hours after transfection. Compared with ACHN cells lacking GPC3 expression, ACHN cells overexpressing GPC3 showed a significant decrease in cell proliferation after 48, 72, 96, and 120 hours (Figure 1A). 786-O cells overexpressing GPC3 also showed a decrease in proliferation after 48, 72, 96, and 120 hours (Figure 1B).

Creative Biogene has successfully constructed GPC3 over-expressing stable cell lines with CT26, HEK293, ACHN, 786-O, CHO, HeLa, 1321N1, U2OS, RH7777, etc. These GPC3 stable cell lines have excellent in vitro assay sensitivity and reproducibility. Therefore, conducting experiments with our GPC3 stable cell lines saves time and resources while providing more accurate results.

The human GPC3 stable cell line - CT26 is commonly used in a variety of laboratory procedures and research in the fields of cell biology, molecular biology, immunology, and oncology. Drug screening: Cell lines can also be used in the drug development process. New drugs or drug combinations can be tested on these cells to measure their effectiveness and cytotoxic effects before testing on animals or humans. Oncology research: This is particularly useful in cancer research, as GPC3 is overexpressed in a variety of cancers, particularly hepatocellular carcinoma. Therefore, this cell line can help study the mechanisms of tumorigenesis and develop potential therapeutic strategies. Immunological research: GPC3 stable cell lines can be used to study T cell activation, proliferation, gene modification techniques, and immunotherapy strategies involving CAR-T cells. Therapeutic antibody validation: These cell lines can also be used to validate the specificity and selectivity of therapeutic antibodies targeting GPC3. Cellular and molecular pathway studies: GPC3 is an integral player in many signaling pathways, and the use of this cell line can help elucidate cellular and molecular mechanisms by studying these pathways.
