NUGC-4 Cell Line

General Information
Organism Homo sapiens, human
Cell Line Description NUGC-4 is a human gastric cancer cell line derived from metastatic sites (paralympic lymph nodes) in patients with mixed gastric cancer (primarily signet ring cell carcinoma). It is widely used in gastrointestinal oncology to study the mechanisms of gastric cancer progression and metastasis. NUGC-4 cells are particularly renowned for their high potential for peritoneal metastasis, making them a primary model for peritoneal cancer research. This cell line exhibits epithelial cell morphology and is frequently used to evaluate the efficacy of novel chemotherapeutic drugs and targeted molecular therapies against gastric cancer.

Culture Conditions and Handling
Subculturing 1. Remove and discard the culture medium.
2. Quickly wash the cell layer with Ca2+/Mg2+-free PBS buffer to remove all serum residue.
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 layer disperses (usually 5 to 10 minutes).
4. Add 6.0 to 8.0 mL of complete culture medium and gently aspirate the cells using a pipette.
5. Aliquot the cell suspension into new culture containers.
Medium Renewal 2 to 3 times per week
Subcultivation Ratio A split ratio of 1:3 to 1:6 is recommended
Culture Medium RPMI 1640 supplemented with 10% Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) and 1% Penicillin-Streptomycin.
Culture Conditions Atmosphere: Air, 95%; CO2, 5%; Temperature: 37°C
Cryopreservation Complete growth medium supplemented with 5% to 10% (v/v) DMSO
