786-O Cell Line

General Information
OrganismHomo sapiens, human
Cell Line DescriptionThe 786-O cell line, derived from a primary tumor from a 58-year-old male patient with renal adenocarcinoma, provides an excellent model for studying cell signaling and molecular biology in the context of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). These cells exhibit an epithelial-like morphology and grow as an adherent monolayer, mimicking the characteristics of renal epithelial cells. These cells possess microvilli and desmosomes and have been successfully cultured in soft agar media. 786-O cells also produce a peptide that is structurally similar to PTH (parathyroid hormone), which is also found in breast and lung cancers. This peptide has an N-terminal sequence similar to that of PTH and is also comparable in activity. Its molecular weight reaches 6000 Daltons. The 786-O cell line is known to be highly invasive and has been used to study the effects of various drugs and treatments on renal cell carcinoma cells.

Biosafety Level1
Biosafety classification is based on U.S. Public Health Service Guidelines, it is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that their facilities comply with biosafety regulations for their own country.
Applications1. Studying the molecular mechanisms of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) development and progression.
2. Screening and testing potential anti-cancer drugs for the treatment of RCC.
3. Investigating the role of specific genes, signaling pathways, and biomarkers in RCC.
4. Studying the interaction between RCC cells and the tumor microenvironment.
5. Developing and testing new therapeutic strategies for RCC, such as targeted therapies and immunotherapies.
6. Understanding drug resistance mechanisms in RCC.
7. Studying the metastatic potential of RCC cells.
8. Investigating the effects of various treatments on RCC cell viability, proliferation, and migration.
Shipped inDry ice
Storage Temperature−196°C
Additional InfoA key feature of the 786-O cell line is the lack of the von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) tumor suppressor gene. In renal cell carcinoma, the VHL gene is frequently mutated or deleted, leading to dysregulation of various cellular processes, including angiogenesis and metabolism. The lack of VHL expression in 786-O cells reflects common mutations in RCC and provides an opportunity to explore downstream signaling pathways affected by VHL.
Characteristics

TumorigenicYes
Mycoplasma TestNegative
Culture Conditions and Handling
Subculturing1. Remove and discard the culture medium.
2. Rinse the cell layer briefly with DPBS solution to remove all traces of serum containing trypsin inhibitors.
3. Add 1.0 to 2.0 mL of trypsin-EDTA solution to the flask and observe the cells under an inverted microscope until the cell layer is dispersed (usually within 2 to 3 minutes). Cells that are difficult to separate can be placed at 37℃ to facilitate dispersion.
4. Add 4.0 to 6.0 mL of complete growth medium and aspirate cells by gentle pipetting.
5. Add appropriate aliquots of cell suspension to new culture vessels.
Medium RenewalEvery 2 to 3 days
Subcultivation RatioThe ratio of 1:3 to 1:6 is recommended.
Culture MediumRPMI-1640 +10% FBS +1% P/S
Culture ConditionsAtmosphere: Air, 95%; CO2, 5%;Temperature: 37℃
CryopreservationFreeze medium: 60% Basal medium+30% FBS+10% DMSO
