The Receptor Tyrosine Kinase-like Orphan Receptor 2 (ROR2) is a member of the ROR family of receptor tyrosine kinases. It was discovered in the late 1990s as a transmembrane protein involved in embryonic skeletal development and tissue morphogenesis. ROR2 plays a crucial role in the regulation of cell polarity, migration, and differentiation pathways through its interaction with Wnt signaling cascades.
HEK293T cells, derived from human embryonic kidney cells, have been widely utilized as a host for gene expression studies and protein production due to their high transfection efficiency and robust growth characteristics. These cells have been instrumental in elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying ROR2-mediated signaling pathways and functional activities.
The establishment of Human ROR2 Stable Cell Line - HEK293T has facilitated detailed investigations into the role of ROR2 in various cellular processes, including its involvement in cancer progression, immune response modulation, and developmental disorders. This cell line serves as a valuable tool for exploring the therapeutic potential of targeting ROR2 in various disease contexts.
Given the current treatment landscape, there is an urgent need to identify new disease markers and innovative therapeutic strategies for epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), which stands as the deadliest cancer among female genital tumors. Researchers aimed to elucidate the role of ROR2 in high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC) cells and uncover the underlying mechanism. Immunohistochemistry and western blot assays were employed to assess protein expression. ROR2 overexpression models were created using adenovirus and Lentivirus in vitro and in vivo, respectively. Functional assays including MTT, colony formation, and transwell assays were utilized to evaluate cell proliferation, invasion, and migration. Flow cytometry was employed to measure apoptosis rates. Whole transcriptome analysis was conducted to identify differentially expressed genes.
Figure 1. The effect of ROR2 overexpression on HGSCO cell behavior was investigated by researchers. ROR2 expression at protein and mRNA levels in various cell lines was assessed using Western blot and PCR assays. Proliferation and clonogenic potential after ROR2 overexpression were evaluated through MTT and colony formation assays. Results suggest inhibition of cell proliferation and colony formation in HGSCO cells by ROR2. (Li R, et al., 2019)
