UM-UC-3 Cell Line

General Information
Organism Homo sapiens, human
Cell Line Description UM-UC-3 is a human bladder cancer cell line derived from high-grade (grade 3) transitional cell carcinoma (urothelial carcinoma) of the bladder. Due to its highly invasive and aggressive growth characteristics, UM-UC-3 is one of the most commonly used models for bladder cancer research. A significant characteristic of UM-UC-3 cells is the absence of the PTEN and p53 tumor suppressor genes, and their proliferation depends on the EGFR signaling pathway. This cell line is an important tool for studying the molecular drivers of bladder cancer progression, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), and the screening of targeted therapies and chemotherapeutic agents.

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 pipette until the cell suspension is a single-cell suspension.
5. Aliquot the cell suspension into new culture dishes.
Medium Renewal 2 to 3 times per week
Subcultivation Ratio A split ratio of 1:3 to 1:6 is recommended
Culture Medium Eagle's Minimum Essential Medium (EMEM) or DMEM 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
