HEC-1-B Cell Line

General Information
Organism Homo sapiens, human
Cell Line Description HEC-1-B is a human endometrial adenocarcinoma cell line established in 1968 from a 71-year-old patient. It is a subline of the original HEC-1 cell line (belonging to the same lineage as HEC-1-A). Although these two cell lines are homologous, HEC-1-B cells exhibit a more rounded morphology and tend to grow as multilayered cell aggregates rather than in a simple monolayer arrangement. This cell line is widely utilized as an in vitro research model for Type I endometrial carcinoma. Notably, compared to its homologous sister cell line, HEC-1-B demonstrates lower sensitivity to hormonal stimulation. Consequently, it is frequently employed in research areas involving cell cycle regulation, chromosomal abnormalities in uterine cancer, and the screening of chemotherapeutic agents.

Culture Conditions and Handling
Subculturing 1. Remove and discard the culture medium.
2. Briefly rinse the cell layer with PBS (without Ca2+/Mg2+) to remove all traces of 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 layer is dispersed (usually 5 to 12 minutes).
4. Add 6.0 to 8.0 mL of complete growth medium and gently pipette to obtain a single-cell suspension.
5. Aliquot cell suspension into new culture vessels.
Medium Renewal 2 to 3 times per week
Subcultivation Ratio A split ratio of 1:3 to 1:6 is recommended
Culture Conditions Atmosphere: Air, 95%; CO2, 5%; Temperature: 37°C
Cryopreservation Complete growth medium supplemented with 5% to 10% (v/v) DMSO
