Humanized Murine Tumor Cell Line

Product DetailsApplicationCase StudyFAQ

Product Details

Humanized murine tumor cell lines are genome-modified mouse tumor cells in which a target murine gene is replaced with its human counterpart. The humanized mouse cells can be implanted into immunocompetent mice with the same strain/genetic background, and can be applied to in vitro mechanism research and in vivo syngeneic tumor growth analysis.

Strategies for The Construction of Humanized Murine Tumor Cell Lines

Based on gene editing technology, part of the mouse F3 gene, for example, was replaced by the open reading frame of human F3 gene with a foreign promoter. At the same time, a frameshift was introduced to the coding region of the mouse F3 gene, resulting in a loss of expression of the mouse F3 protein, and a stable expression of the human F3 protein.

Creative Biogene offers a series of humanized murine tumor cell lines that have been genetically engineered to express human immune checkpoint proteins, which can be used to evaluate the efficacy of human immune checkpoint antibodies or inhibitors in vivo and provide a cell line model for the screening of preclinical tumor immune candidates.

Features of Our Humanized Murine Tumor Cell Line

  • Strong and sustained expression of human immune checkpoint proteins
  • Stable tumor cell line validated by multiple methods
  • Verification of tumorigenesis
  • Strict quality control
  • Fast turnaround time and high efficiency

Application

Cancer research has made significant advances over the years, leading to the development of novel treatment strategies and improved patient outcomes. An important aspect of cancer research involves establishing accurate and representative preclinical models to study tumor biology, drug response, and potential therapeutic targets. Humanized murine tumor cell lines have become valuable tools in cancer research due to their ability to recapitulate certain aspects of human cancer in mouse models.

Applications for humanized murine tumor cell line include:

  • In vivo tumor growth assays of syngeneic models: The humanized mouse cell can be implanted into immunocompetent mice of the same strain/genetic background. This process enables cells to grow and interact with the mouse host, resulting in tumor models that closely resemble human tumors at the genetic, histological, and molecular levels.
  • In vitro tumor mechanistic studies: These humanized murine tumor cell lines can be used to study tumor development, progression, and metastasis, allowing scientists to gain insights into the mechanisms underlying cancer biology. This knowledge is critical for identifying potential therapeutic targets and developing new treatment strategies.
  • Drug screening: With traditional mouse cell lines, there is a risk that the tumor response to the drug may not accurately reflect what would happen in human patients. In contrast, using humanized cell lines allows researchers to study the interactions between drugs and human cancer cells within living systems. This can help predict drug effectiveness and guide the selection of the most promising drug candidates for further development.
  • Immunotherapy development: These humanized murine tumor cell lines help study the complex dynamics between tumors and the immune system. They allow scientists to explore how different immunotherapies, such as checkpoint inhibitors or CAR-T cell therapies, interact with human tumor cells and the immune responses they elicit in host mice. This information is critical for optimizing immunotherapy approaches and developing personalized treatments that target the specific characteristics of an individual patient's tumor.

Case Study

Case Study 1

Establishment of a mouse subcutaneous tumor model using a humanized CD200 murine tumor cell line

Baseline characteristics of MC38 and LLC1 cancer modelsFigure 2. Baseline characteristics of MC38 and LLC1 cancer models. (A) In vitro cultured cells were stimulated with varying concentrations of IFN-γ or control for 24 h (left panel). CD200 levels were measured in cells cultured in vitro (middle panel). After 14 days of in vivo growth, tumors were harvested and digested (right). (B) After 14 days of in vivo growth, tumors were harvested and digested. (C) Mice were injected subcutaneously with MC38 and LLC1 cells, and tumor volumes were measured every other day using calipers. Treatment with MOPC21 or mNivo was initiated once the tumors reached a certain mean volume (40 mm3 for MC38 and 20 mm3 for LLC1). (Fellermeyer M, et al., 2023).

FAQ

Q: What are humanized murine tumor cell lines?

A: Humanized murine tumor cell lines are laboratory-created cell lines that are derived from murine (mouse) tumor cells in which a target murine gene is replaced with its human counterpart. This genetic modification enables the murine tumor cells to mimic certain aspects of human tumor cells, making them useful tools for studying human cancer in a laboratory setting.

Q: What are the advantages of humanized murine tumor cell lines?

A: By introducing human genes or traits, humanized murine tumor cell lines can better recapitulate the biology and behavior of human tumors compared to regular murine tumor cell lines. This allows researchers to investigate various aspects of cancer biology, such as tumor growth, metastasis, drug response, and immune interactions, in a more clinically-relevant context.

Q: What are the applications of humanized murine tumor cell lines in drug development?

A: Humanized murine tumor cell lines are commonly used in preclinical cancer research to evaluate novel anticancer therapies, study tumor-host interactions, and develop new treatment strategies. They can also be instrumental in the development of personalized medicine approaches by providing a more realistic experimental model for testing drug efficacy and toxicity in a human tumor microenvironment.

Q: Can you provide custom humanized mouse tumor cell lines?

A: Yes. Our gene editing team can generate humanized murine cancer cell lines for your specific needs.
