SGC-7901 Cell Line

General Information
Organism Homo sapiens, human
Cell Line Description SGC-7901 is a widely used human epithelial cell line, originally established in 1979 from metastatic lymph nodes of a 56-year-old untreated Chinese woman with gastric adenocarcinoma. These cells exhibit typical epithelial morphology, appearing as rhomboid or polygonal shapes in monolayer cultures. Biologically, SGC-7901 serves as a fundamental model for studying the molecular mechanisms of gastric cancer progression and is widely used to investigate Helicobacter pylori-induced gastric epithelial inflammation. Notably, recent identification work has confirmed that SGC-7901 is a misidentified cell line, actually derived from the HeLa cervical adenocarcinoma cell line. Nevertheless, it remains a standard reference cell line in many published oncology and pharmacology studies.

Culture Conditions and Handling
Subculturing 1. Remove and discard the culture medium.
2. Gently rinse the cell layer with calcium- and magnesium-free PBS buffer to remove residual serum containing trypsin inhibitors.
3. Add 1.0 to 2.0 mL of 0.25% (w/v) trypsin-0.53 mM EDTA solution (for T25 culture flasks) and observe under an inverted microscope until the cell layer disperses (usually 2 to 5 minutes).
4. Add an equal volume of complete culture medium to neutralize the trypsin.
5. Gently pipette the cells and transfer them to centrifuge tubes.
6. Centrifuge at 300 x g for 3 to 5 minutes.
7. Resuspend the cell pellet in fresh complete culture medium and aliquot into new culture containers at the recommended seeding density.
Medium Renewal Every 2 to 3 days.
Subcultivation Ratio A split ratio of 1:3 to 1:6 is recommended.
Culture Medium RPMI-1640 Medium + 10% Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS).
Culture Conditions Atmosphere: Air, 95%; CO2, 5%; Temperature: 37℃
Cryopreservation Complete growth medium supplemented with 5% to 10% (v/v) DMSO.
