LoVo Cell Line

General Information
OrganismHomo sapiens, human
Cell Line DescriptionThe LoVo epithelial cell line was isolated from a metastatic tumor nodule fragment in the left supraclavicular region of a 56-year-old Caucasian male patient with colorectal adenocarcinoma by Drewinko et al. in 1976. The LoVo cell line is a well-differentiated cell line that possesses most of the characteristics of enterocytes, including acinar structure, microvilli, glycocalyx, desmosomes, adhesions, and tight junction formation. LoVo has proven to be an effective tool for studying epithelioid tissue loss. LoVo cells were negative for colon antigen 3 and colon-specific antigen-p (CSAp-) expression. In addition, these cells express the N-ras, H-ras, Myb, c-myc, K-ras, sis, and fos oncogenes.

Additional InfoN-myc and sis oncogene expression was not detected. Expresses tumor-specific nuclear matrix proteins CC-3 and CC-4.
Characteristics
KaryotypeThe number of chromosomes in the stem line was hyperdiploid, the occurrence rate of 2S components was about 2.7%, and there were a total of 3 marker chromosomes in all S metaphases. The karyotype is usually homogeneous and stable.
Oncogenemyc+; myb+; ras+; fos+; p53+; sis-; abl-; ros-; src-
TumorigenicYes, in nude mice.
Mycoplasma TestNegative
Culture Conditions and Handling
Subculturing1. Remove and discard the culture medium.
2. Briefly rinse the cell layer with 0.25% (w/v) Trypsin-0.53mM EDTA solution to remove all traces of serum containing trypsin inhibitors.
3. Add 2.0 to 3.0 mL of trypsin-EDTA solution to the flask and observe the cells under an inverted microscope until the cell layer is dispersed (usually within 5 to 15 minutes). NOTE: To avoid clumping, do not agitate the cells by knocking or shaking the flask while waiting for cells to detach. Cells that are difficult to separate can be placed at 37℃ to facilitate dispersion.
4. Add 6.0 to 8.0 mL of complete growth medium and aspirate cells by gentle pipetting.
5. Add appropriate aliquots of cell suspension to new culture vessels.
6. Incubate cultures at 37℃.
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 Renewal2 to 3 times per week
Subcultivation RatioThe ratio of 1:3 to 1:10 is recommended.
Culture MediumF-12K Medium (Kaighn's Modification of Ham's F-12 Medium) contains 2 mM L-glutamine and 10% of fetal bovine serum.
Culture ConditionsAir: 95%; Carbon dioxide (CO2): 5%; Temperature: 37℃
Cryopreservation95% FBS + 5% DMSO (Dimethyl sulfoxide)
