MIA PaCa-2 Cell Line

General Information
OrganismHomo sapiens, human
Cell Line DescriptionMIA PaCa-2 is a human pancreatic cancer cell line widely used in pancreatic cancer research and therapeutic development. In 1977, MIA PaCa-2 cells were derived from cancer in a 65-year-old man. These cells display CK5.6, AE1/AE3, E-cadherin, vimentin, chromogranin A, synaptophysin, SSTR2, and NTR1, but not CD56. This cell line is commonly used as a model system in cancer research to study the properties and behavior of pancreatic cancer cells and for drug screening and development.

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 cancer biology
Drug screening
Cell signaling studies
Gene expression analysis
Shipped inDry ice
Storage Temperature−196°C
Additional InfoStudies of MIA PaCa-2 physiology could help elucidate the oncogenic mechanisms of pancreatic cancer, aid in the development of cancer cell lysates targeting IgG production, and enhance quantum dot-dependent drug delivery methods.
Characteristics
KaryotypeThis is a subtriploid human cell line. The most common number of chromosomes is 61. There are typically 16 to 20 marker chromosomes in a cell. Some normal chromosomes are missing.
Genes ExpressedHuman colony-stimulating factor, subclass I (CSF-I); plasminogen activator
Mycoplasma TestNegative
Bacteria TestNegative
Yeast TestNegative
Culture Conditions and Handling
Subculturing1. Remove and discard the culture medium.
2. Briefly rinse the cell layer with a 0.25% (w/v) trypsin-0.53 mM EDTA solution to remove all traces of serum containing trypsin inhibitors.
3. Add 1.0 to 2.0 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 fresh culture 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 1:8 is recommended.
Culture MediumDMEM + 10% h.i. FBS + 2.5% horse serum
Culture ConditionsAtmosphere: air, 90%; carbon dioxide (CO2), 10%; Temperature: 37°C
CryopreservationFrozen with 70% medium, 20% FBS, 10% DMSO
