Neuro2a Cell Line

General Information
OrganismMus musculus, mouse
Cell Line DescriptionThe Neuro-2a cell line is derived from mice and has neuronal and amoeboid stem cell morphology, allowing it to differentiate in response to environmental factors. The differentiated cells possess many properties of neurons, including neurofilaments. Differentiation of Neuro-2a cells is caused by activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (MAPK/ERK) and phosphoinositide 3-kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/Akt) signaling pathways. Due to passage since initial collection, these cells can exhibit different responses to toxins than neuronal cells in living organisms. The Neuro-2a cell line also provides insights into the role of various genes and proteins in neuronal function and development. For example, the DNMT3A gene, known for its involvement in the DNA methylation process, has been studied in Neuro-2a cells to understand its effects on neuronal cells and neurodevelopmental processes.

Additional InfoNeuro-2a cells differentiate rapidly, reliably and easily, making them useful for research applications related to neurons and neuronal diseases. Serum withdrawal is a common method for inducing Neuro-2a cell differentiation and involves removing the serum on which the cells are growing to activate signaling pathways that control differentiation. Neuro-2a cells have been used to study neurite outgrowth, neurotoxicity, Alzheimer's disease, asymmetric division of mammalian cell lines, adenoviral transduction, and diagnosis of rabies. One specific research application is the differentiation of Neuro-2a cells into dopamine neurons for the treatment of Parkinson's disease.
Characteristics
KaryotypeMode = 95; Range = 59 to 193. The karyotype is unstable in the stem range of 94 to 98 chromosomes. All cells contain 6 to 10 large chromosomes with a median or submedian centromere and 2 to 4 microchromosomes.
Antigen ExpressionH-2a
Virus SusceptibilityHerpes simplex virus
Vesicular stomatitis virus
Human poliovirus 1
Mycoplasma TestNegative
Culture Conditions and Handling
Subculturing1. Remove old culture medium from adherent cells and wash with calcium- and magnesium-free PBS. For T25 flasks, use 3-5 ml of PBS and for T75 flasks, use 5-10 ml.
2. Then, completely cover the cells with Accutase, using 1-2 ml for T25 flasks and 2.5 ml for T75 flasks.
3. Allow cells to detach by incubating at room temperature for 8-10 minutes.
4. After incubation, resuspend cells by gently mixing with 10 ml of medium and centrifuge at 300xg for 3 minutes.
5. Discard the supernatant, resuspend the cells in fresh medium, and transfer them to a new flask that already contains fresh medium.
Medium Renewal1 to 2 times per week
Subcultivation RatioThe ratio of 1:4 is recommended.
Culture MediumEMEM (EBSS) + 2mM Glutamine + 1% Non Essential Amino Acids (NEAA) + 10% Foetal Bovine Serum (FBS).
Culture ConditionsAtmosphere: Air, 95%; CO2, 5%;Temperature: 37°C
CryopreservationComplete growth medium supplemented with 5% (v/v) DMSO
