Properties
Derivation |
The LN-229 cell line was established in 1979 from cells taken from a patient with right frontal parieto-occipital glioblastoma [PubMed. 10416987].

|
Oncogene | p53 + (mutated, CCT (Pro) --> CTT (Leu) mutation at codon 98), PTEN + (wild type), p16 - (deleted), p14ARF - (deleted) |
Tumorigenic | Yes |
Effects |
Yes, forms tumors in nude mice
|
Comments |
The cells exhibit mutated p53 (TP53) and possible homozygous deletions in the p16 and p14ARF tumor suppressor genes. They have a wild-type PTEN gene.
Stimulation of the cells with Fas ligand lead to apoptotic cell death within 16 hours. The cells were also killed by puromycin in a dose dependent manner.
Bcl-2 protects these cells from Fas ligand-induced cell death but was shown to have only a small protective effect on puromycin-induced apoptosis. |
Background
Complete Growth Medium |
The base medium for this cell line is ATCC-formulated Dulbecco''s Modified Eagle''s Medium, Catalog No. 30-2002. To make the complete growth medium, add the following components to the base medium: fetal bovine serum to a final concentration of 5%. |
---|---|
Subculturing |
Volumes used in this protocol are for 75 cm2 flask; proportionally reduce or increase amount of dissociation medium for culture vessels of other sizes.
Note: Subculture at 80% confluence. Cells pile up and do not become completely confluent.
Subculture Ratio: 1:4 to 1:6
Note: For more information on enzymatic dissociation and subculturing of cell lines consult Chapter 10 in Culture of Animal Cells, a manual of Basic Technique by R. Ian Freshney, 3rd edition, published by Alan R. Liss, N.Y., 1994
