Biosafety Level 2
Thawing & Subculturing Instructions 1. Thaw cells by gently swirling in a 37°C water bath. To limit contamination, do not submerge the O-ring and cap.

2. When cells are ~70% thawed (~1 min), transfer the vial into a biosafety cabinet, and wipe the surface with 70% ethanol. Allow tube to dry completely.

3. Transfer the cells gently into a 15 mL conical tube containing 10 mL of pre-warmed culture medium (without antibiotic selection marker). Centrifuge cells at ~125 x g for 5~7 min.

4. Remove supernatant without disturbing the pellet, and resuspend cells in 1 mL culture medium (without antibiotic selection marker). Transfer cells to a 6-well plate containing ~2 mL pre-warmed growth medium (without antibiotic selection marker) or a T25 flask containing 5 mL pre-warmed culture medium (without antibiotic selection marker).

5. Incubate the culture at 37°C with 5% CO2.

6. Subculture: split saturated culture 1:4 ~ 1:6 every 3 days; seed out at about 1~3 x 10^5 cells/mL.
Growth Properties Suspension, round
Freeze Medium Frozen with 70% medium, 20% FBS, 10% DMSO
Freezing Instructions Cells are recommended to generate additional frozen stocks at early passages. Frozen stocks should be preserved in a designated cryopreservation medium or in 70% RPMI 1640 + 20% FBS + 10% DMSO (without antibiotic selection marker).

1. Prepare the freezing medium (70% RPMI 1640 + 20% FBS + 10% DMSO, without antibiotic selection marker) fresh immediately before use.

2. Keep the freezing medium on ice and label cryovials.

3. Transfer cells to a sterile, conical centrifuge tube, and count the cells.

4. Centrifuge the cells at 250 x g for 5 minutes at room temperature and carefully aspirate off the medium.

5. Resuspend the cells at a density of at least 3 x10^6 cells/ml in chilled freezing medium.

6. Aliquot 1 ml of the cell suspension into each cryovial.

7. Freeze cells in the CoolCell freezing container overnight in a -80°C freezer.

8. Transfer vials to liquid nitrogen for long-term storage.
Mycoplasma Negative
Format One frozen vial containing millions of cells
Storage Liquid nitrogen
Safety Considerations

The following safety precautions should be observed.

1. Use pipette aids to prevent ingestion and keep aerosols down to a minimum.

2. No eating, drinking or smoking while handling the stable line.

3. Wash hands after handling the stable line and before leaving the lab.

4. Decontaminate work surface with disinfectant or 70% ethanol before and after working with stable cells.

5. All waste should be considered hazardous.

6. Dispose of all liquid waste after each experiment and treat with bleach.

The LMNA gene encodes for lamin A, a protein that is a major component of the nuclear lamina, a network of intermediate filaments underlying the inner nuclear membrane. Lamin A plays a crucial role in maintaining nuclear structure, regulating gene expression, and participating in cell division. Mutations in LMNA can lead to a spectrum of diseases known as laminopathies, including muscular dystrophies, cardiomyopathies, and lipodystrophies. One such mutation, LMNA-NTRK1, results in the fusion of the NTRK1 (neurotrophic receptor tyrosine kinase 1) gene, which is associated with certain types of cancer, including solid tumors. The BaF3 cell line is a murine pro-B lymphocyte cell line that has been extensively used in the field of cell signaling and cancer research. It is particularly notable for its ability to be transformed by various oncogenes, making it an excellent model for studying oncogenic signaling pathways. When BaF3 cells are engineered to stably express the LMNA-NTRK1 fusion gene, they provide a unique system to investigate the oncogenic potential of this specific fusion protein. This stable cell line is instrumental in understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying LMNA-NTRK1-driven cancers and in the development of targeted therapies against such oncogenic events.
The LMNA-NTRK1 fusion gene results from the fusion of the LMNA (lamin A) and NTRK1 (neurotrophic receptor tyrosine kinase 1) genes, which has been identified in various cancers, including solid tumors. The Human LMNA-NTRK1 Stable Cell Line - BaF3 provides a model to study the oncogenic potential of this fusion gene. (1)Targeted Therapy Research: This cell line is instrumental in the development and testing of targeted therapies against NTRK1 fusion proteins, which are involved in tumor growth and progression. It allows for the evaluation of the efficacy of small molecule inhibitors or monoclonal antibodies designed to target the NTRK1 fusion protein. (2)Mechanism of Fusion Gene Action: The BaF3 cell line expressing LMNA-NTRK1 can be used to investigate the molecular pathways activated by the fusion gene, including its effects on cell signaling, proliferation, and survival, providing insights into the oncogenic mechanisms. (3)Drug Resistance Studies: By studying the response of LMNA-NTRK1 expressing cells to various treatments, researchers can gain a better understanding of the mechanisms of drug resistance and develop strategies to overcome it.
Customer Q&As
In what way does the Human LMNA-NTRK1 Stable Cell Line - BaF3 model contribute to our understanding of the oncogenic fusion protein's role in tumorigenesis?

A: By providing a system to study the downstream signaling pathways activated by the LMNA-NTRK1 fusion protein, it contributes to understanding how this aberration drives cell transformation and proliferation.

How might researchers utilize the Human LMNA-NTRK1 Stable Cell Line - BaF3 for the development of NTRK1-specific inhibitors?

A: Inhibitors can be tested on this cell line to evaluate their ability to inhibit the constitutive kinase activity of the fusion protein, thereby assessing drug potency and specificity.

What protocols are recommended for ensuring the Human LMNA-NTRK1 Stable Cell Line - BaF3 maintains its oncogenic phenotype during experiments?

A: Consistent culture conditions and regular phenotype assays, such as proliferation and apoptosis assays, should be used to ensure the cell line maintains its oncogenic characteristics.

Can the Human LMNA-NTRK1 Stable Cell Line - BaF3 be applied in high-throughput screening campaigns for novel anticancer agents?

A: Yes, this cell line is amenable to high-throughput formats to screen libraries of compounds for anti-proliferative effects against the LMNA-NTRK1 oncogenic fusion.

What are the challenges of interpreting data from experiments using the Human LMNA-NTRK1 Stable Cell Line - BaF3, considering the complexities of fusion protein signaling?

A: The data must be contextualized within the framework of signaling complexity, and secondary validation, such as the use of specific pathway inhibitors or gene knockdown, is essential to attribute effects specifically to LMNA-NTRK1.
