LN229 Cell Line

General Information
OrganismHomo sapiens, human
Cell Line DescriptionLN-229 is a cell line that exhibits epithelioid morphology and was isolated in 1979 from the right fronto-parieto-occipital cortex of a 60-year-old white female patient with glioblastoma. The LN-229 cell line has the wild-type PTEN gene, mutated p53, and possibly homozygous deletions in p16 as well as in the p14ARF tumor suppressor gene. In a 1997 study, the LN-229 cell line was evaluated following treatment with puromycin, which killed LN-229 cells in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, stimulation of these cells with Fas ligand resulted in apoptosis within 16 h.
TissueBrain; Right frontal parieto-occipital cortex
DiseaseGlioblastoma

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.
Applications3D cell culture
Studying cell signaling pathways
Neuroscience research
Drug screening and development
Tumor biology research
Shipped inDry ice
Storage Temperature−196°C
Additional InfoBcl-2 protects these LN229 cells from Fas ligand-induced cell death but has only a minimal protective effect against puromycin-induced apoptosis.
Characteristics
Oncogenep53+ (mutated, CCT (Pro) --> CTT (Leu) mutation at codon 98); PTEN+ (wild-type); p16- (deleted); p14ARF- (deleted)
TumorigenicYes, forms tumors in nude mice.
Mycoplasma TestNegative
Culture Conditions and Handling
Subculturing1. Remove and discard the culture medium.
2. Briefly rinse the cell layer with DPBS solution to remove all traces of serum that contains trypsin inhibitor.
3. Add 1.0 to 2.0 mL of Trypsin-EDTA solution to the flask and observe cells under an inverted microscope until cell layer is dispersed (usually within 2 to 3 minutes). Note: To avoid clumping do not agitate the cells by hitting or shaking the flask while waiting for the cells to detach. Cells that are difficult to detach may be placed at 37℃ to facilitate dispersal.
4. Add 4.0 to 6.0 mL of complete growth medium and aspirate cells by gently pipetting.
5. Add appropriate aliquots of the cell suspension to new culture vessels.
NOTE: The volumes used in this protocol are for a 75 cm2 flask. For other sizes of culture vessels, proportionally reduce or increase the amount of dissociation medium.
Medium RenewalEvery 2 to 3 days
Subcultivation RatioThe ratio of 1:2 to 1:5 is recommended.
Culture MediumDMEM+5% FBS+1% P/S
