AY-27 Cell Line

General Information
Organism Rattus norvegicus, rat
Cell Line Description AY-27 is a rat transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) cell line derived from a primary bladder tumor induced by the carcinogen N-[4-(5-nitro-2-furyl)-2-thiazolyl]formamide (FANFT) in a Fischer 344 (F344) rat. As a highly characterized and widely utilized syngeneic model, it occupies a prominent position in the field of bladder cancer research. AY-27 cells exhibit an epithelial-like morphology and are distinguished by their highly aggressive growth characteristics and consistent success rate upon transplantation. This cell line is regarded as the "gold standard" for establishing orthotopic bladder cancer models in immunocompetent rats, enabling researchers to comprehensively investigate intravesical therapeutic modalities (such as Bacillus Calmette-Guérin [BCG], Mitomycin C, or photodynamic therapy), tumor-host immune interactions, and the mechanisms of local tumor invasion within the urinary tract.

Culture Conditions and Handling
Subculturing 1. Remove and discard the culture medium.
2. Briefly rinse the cell monolayer with PBS (Ca²⁺/Mg²⁺-free) to thoroughly remove residual serum.
3. Add 2.0 to 3.0 mL of 0.25% Trypsin–0.53 mM EDTA solution, and observe under an inverted microscope until the cell monolayer has dispersed (typically requiring 3 to 7 minutes).
4. Add complete growth medium to neutralize the trypsin, and gently pipette to create a single-cell suspension.
5. Aliquot the cell suspension into new culture vessels.
Medium Renewal 2 to 3 times per week
Subcultivation Ratio A split ratio of 1:3 to 1:8 is recommended
Culture Conditions Atmosphere: Air, 95%; CO2, 5%; Temperature: 37°C
Cryopreservation Complete growth medium supplemented with 5% to 10% (v/v) DMSO
