1321N1 Cell Line

General Information
Organism Homo sapiens, human
Cell Line Description 1321N1 is a human astrocytoma cell line isolated in 1972, a subclone of the 1181N1 cell line (originally derived from U-118 MG). Studies have shown that its ancestral lineage is related to the U-138 MG astrocytoma cell line. These cells exhibit a polygonal morphology and typical glial cell characteristics. They hold significant biological importance due to their expression of multiple muscarinic receptors (M2, M3, and M5) and β2-adrenergic receptors, participating in the phosphatidylinositol signaling pathway. Upon activation, these cells release IP3, triggering intracellular calcium waves and inducing ATP release, making them an ideal model for studying intercellular communication in the central nervous system.

Culture Conditions and Handling
Subculturing 1. Remove and discard the culture medium.
2. Gently rinse the cell layer with calcium- and magnesium-free PBS buffer to remove residual serum.
3. Add 2.0 to 3.0 mL of 0.25% (w/v) trypsin-0.53 mM EDTA solution (for T75 culture flasks) and observe under an inverted microscope until the cell layer disperses (usually 2 to 10 minutes).
4. Add an equal volume of complete culture medium to neutralize the trypsin.
5. Gently pipette the cells and transfer them to centrifuge tubes.
6. Centrifuge at 125 x g for 5-7 minutes.
7. Resuspend the cell pellet in fresh complete culture medium and aliquot into new culture containers.
Medium Renewal Every 2 to 3 days.
Subcultivation Ratio A split ratio of 1:2 to 1:6 is recommended.
Culture Medium DMEM (Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium) + 2mM Glutamine + 10% Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS).
Culture Conditions Atmosphere: Air, 95%; CO2, 5%; Temperature: 37℃
Cryopreservation Complete growth medium supplemented with 5% to 10% (v/v) DMSO.
