MKN-74 Cell Line

General Information
Organism Homo sapiens, human
Cell Line Description MKN-74 is a human adenocarcinoma cell line derived from a moderately differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma of the stomach in a 37-year-old Japanese male patient. This cell line exhibits an epithelial morphology, grows adherently, and retains many characteristics of intestinal-type gastric cancer. The MKN-74 cell line is notable for its moderately differentiated characteristics and expresses relevant markers such as E-cadherin (CDH1) and CEA. MKN-74 cells harbor a mutation in the TP53 gene—a tumor suppressor gene frequently mutated in gastric cancer. Furthermore, MKN-74 expresses the γ-synuclein (SNCG) gene; studies have demonstrated that the overexpression of SNCG is closely associated with enhanced proliferative capacity and metastatic potential in gastric cancer cells. This cell line is widely utilized to investigate the molecular pathogenesis of intestinal-type gastric cancer, mechanisms of cell-cell adhesion, and the roles of various growth factor receptors in tumor progression. Additionally, it serves as a crucial model for screening chemotherapeutic agents and targeted molecular therapies.

Culture Conditions and Handling
Subculturing 1. Remove and discard the culture medium.
2. Briefly rinse the cell monolayer with PBS (Ca²⁺/Mg²⁺-free) to thoroughly remove residual 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 monolayer has dispersed (typically takes 5 to 10 minutes).
4. Add 6.0 to 8.0 mL of complete growth medium, and gently pipette to prepare a single-cell suspension.
5. Aliquot the 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
