A reporter cell line for luciferase Because Neuro2a is designed to contain a luciferase reporter gene, it can be an invaluable tool in a variety of cellular experiments and investigations. An enzyme called luciferase, which is derived from fireflies, is able to catalyze the oxidation of luciferin to produce bioluminescence, which makes it possible to monitor biological processes in real time. Derived from mouse neuroblasts, neuro-2a cells were extracted from brain tissue and display morphology similar to that of neurons and amoeboids. These cells have been widely used in many different types of research projects, especially when trying to understand the mechanisms behind different types of biological activities. The mechanism of vinblastine precipitation of microtubular protein, the kinetics of GTP binding to separated protein, the turnover of microtubules in vivo, and the synthesis and assembly of microtubular protein are among the notable studies employing Neuro2a cells. Furthermore, Neuro2a cells are used by the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) in the routine diagnosis of rabies. Toxicology and neurology studies are advanced by the use of Neuro2a cells' special properties.

The urokinase receptor (uPAR), encoded by the Plaur gene and also known as CD87, U-PAR, and UPAR, exerts diverse physiological and pathological effects. The purpose of this study was to better understand the role of novel small RNAs encoded within the Plaur gene, Plaur-miR1-3p and Plaur-miR1-5p, and their regulatory effects on target genes, Mef2d and Emx2. The researchers used Neuro2a cells as a model to validate the Plaur-dependent expression of these RNAs and their regulatory effects on subsequent Mef2d and Emx2 target genes. Bioinformatic analysis identified potential binding sites and subsequent Luciferase reporter assays confirmed Plaur-miR1-5p's activating effect on Mef2d expression. Furthermore, sequencing of mouse brain samples revealed additional targets, Nrip3 and Snrnp200, suggesting a broader regulatory role of these small RNAs in neural tissues.

The Figure 1 shows luciferase reporter assay results confirming Plaur-miR1-5p's specificity on predicted targets in Neuro2a cells. (doi: 10.3389/fnmol.2022.865858)Figure 1. The researchers utilized the Luciferase Reporter Cell Line - Neuro2a to conduct a luciferase reporter assay, confirming the direct activation of Mef2d expression by Plaur-miR1 through 3′-UTR interaction.

1. Neurobiology research: Neuro2a cells are derived from mouse neuroblasts and show a morphology similar to neurons and amoeba. They are used to study biological activity mechanisms such as the synthesis and assembly of microtubules and GTP binding dynamics. 2. Gene expression monitoring: Luciferase reporter genes enable Neuro2a cells to monitor biological processes in real time and evaluate the level of gene expression in cells through bioluminescence produced by luciferase-catalyzed luciferin oxidation. 3. Toxicology and neuroscience research: Neuro2a cells are widely used in toxicology and neuroscience research due to their unique properties, helping to understand the effects of chemicals on nerve cells and the mechanisms of neurological diseases. 4. Rabies diagnosis: The World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) uses Neuro2a cells for routine rabies diagnosis, demonstrating its importance in virus research and diagnosis.
Customer Q&As
Luciferase Reporter Cell Line - How sensitive is the luciferase reporter gene of the Neuro2a cell line?

A: Luciferase Reporter Cell Line - The luciferase reporter in Neuro2a is highly sensitive and capable of detecting small biochemical changes within cells. The intensity of the light signal of luciferase is directly related to the expression level of the reporter gene, and its activity can be measured quickly and accurately through a fluorescence detection system. This high sensitivity is particularly important for signaling pathway analysis and drug screening in neuroscience research.

How effective is this cell line in neural cell research?

A: Luciferase Reporter Cell Line - Neuro2a is specially designed for neuroscience research. Neuro2a cell line is derived from mouse neuroblastoma and has the characteristics of nerve cells. Combined with the luciferase reporter gene, it can be used to study signal transduction, gene expression regulation and neurotoxicity of nerve cells. It performs well in studies of neuronal differentiation, synaptic plasticity and neurodegenerative disease models, providing reliable data support.

Is this cell line suitable for high-throughput screening?

A: Luciferase Reporter Cell Line - Neuro2a is ideal for high-throughput screening experiments. The introduction of the luciferase reporter gene allows the changes in luciferase activity after drug treatment to be quickly read through a high-throughput fluorescence detection system. This cell line is widely used in drug screening, toxicity assessment and gene function research. It can improve experimental efficiency and provide a high-throughput and high-sensitivity screening platform.
