HEC-1-A Cell Line

General Information
Organism Homo sapiens, human
Cell Line Description HEC-1-A is a human endometrial adenocarcinoma cell line established in 1968 from a 71-year-old patient. It is one of the earliest identified endometrial cancer cell lines and is widely used as a model for type I endometrial cancer. HEC-1-A cells exhibit epithelial cell morphology and adherent growth patterns. Because they express multiple receptors and respond to estrogen and progesterone, they are of significant value in studying the hormonal regulation of endometrial tissue. This cell line is widely used in research on cell-cell interactions, drug sensitivity, and the molecular mechanisms of uterine malignancies.

Culture Conditions and Handling
Subculturing 1. Remove and discard the culture medium.
2. Quickly wash the cell layer with Ca2+/Mg2+-free PBS buffer to remove all serum residue.
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 layer disperses (usually 5 to 10 minutes).
4. Add 6.0 to 8.0 mL of complete culture medium and gently pipette until the cell suspension is a single-cell suspension.
5. Aliquot the cell suspension into new culture dishes.
Medium Renewal 2 to 3 times per week
Subcultivation Ratio A split ratio of 1:3 to 1:10 is recommended
Culture Medium McCoy's 5A Medium supplemented with 10% Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) and 1% Penicillin-Streptomycin.
Culture Conditions Atmosphere: Air, 95%; CO2, 5%; Temperature: 37°C
Cryopreservation Complete growth medium supplemented with 5% to 10% (v/v) DMSO
