Cell Line Origin
Human Caucasian prostate carcinoma
Cell Line Description
Derived from a metastasis at the left supraclavicular lymph node of a 50 year old patient with a confirmed diagnosis of metastatic prostate carcinoma. Growth and acid phosphatase production is affected by 5-alpha-dihydrotestosterone. They do not form a uniform monolayer and attach only lightly to the substrate. When shipped, cells detach from flask and can either be incubated 24-48 hours to allow attachment or be collected by centrifugation (150xg, 15 minutes) and reseeded.
Application
LNCap Clone FGC Cell Line has been used:
- to study the effect of sex steroid hormones in regulating the expression of oligoadenylate synthetase 1 (OAS1)
- to study the role of curcumin and resveratrol in redox control and ability to promote apoptosis
- to investigate low molecular weight thiols present in the deproteinized extract of the cell line after derivatization
Culture Medium
RPMI 1640 + 2mM Glutamine + 1.0 mM sodium pyruvate + 10% Foetal Bovine Serum (FBS).
Subculture Routine
Split sub-confluent cultures (70-80%) 1:3 to 1:6 using 0.25% trypsin or trypsin/EDTA; 5% CO2; 37°C.i.e. seeding at 1-3 x 10,000 cells/cm2 Cells grow slowly in clusters and can be disaggregated by repeated pipetting. After subculture cells may take up to 48 hours to reattach. Do not disturb during this period. Medium is rapidly acidified, therefore change twice per week.
