Gbm8401 glioma cell line

Manufactured by RIKEN BioResource Center

The GBM8401 glioma cell line is a well-characterized cell line derived from a human glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) tumor. It is a valuable tool for research on the biology and treatment of this aggressive type of brain cancer. The GBM8401 cell line can be used for various in vitro experiments, such as studying tumor cell growth, signaling pathways, and drug responses.

LN229, U118MG and U87MG cell lines were purchased from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC). GBM8401 glioma cell line was commercially available and obtained from Bioresource Collection and Research Center (BCRC number 60163, Hsinchu, Taiwan). LN229 and GBM8401 cells were harvested in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM) containing 2% fetal bovine serum (FBS), penicillin, and streptomycin. U87MG cells were maintained in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium containing 10% FBS, penicillin, and streptomycin. U118MG were maintained in DMEM containing 10% FBS, penicillin, and streptomycin. All these cells were maintained at 37 °C and 5% CO2. RNA interference was performed according to previous description19 (link)–21 (link). In brief, LN229 and GBM8401 cells were transfected 24 h post-culture with SGO2 small interfering RNA (siRNA) (siGENOME SMARTpool, Dharmacon) at final 25 nM in antibiotic-free media using DharmaFECT Transfection Reagent 1 (Dharmacon) following the manufacturer’s instructions. Non-targeting siRNA (siGENOME Non-Targeting siRNA Control Pool #1, Dharmacon) was used as negative control.

We extracted total mRNA via TRIzol™ Reagent (Thermo Fisher Scienti c, Wal-tham, WA, USA) according to the manufacturer's protocol. Oligo dT primer with MMLV Reverse Transcriptase (Epicentre Biotechnologies, Madison, WI, USA) was applied for cDNA synthesis. We purchased normal brain cDNA from Origene Technologies (Rockville, MD, USA). Ampli cation and quanti cation of DPY19L1 expression were achieved by a StepOne™ Real-Time PCR System (Thermo Fisher Scienti c, USA). We used the 2 -ΔΔCt method to compare relative quantitative gene expression with GAPDH as an internal control. The primer pairs included presented below: DPY19L1 forward 5′-ACACCACCTCTCCGTGAAAGCT-3' and reverse 5′-GCAGAGTGCAATCAA-GCTTCCTC-3'; GADPH forward 5′-CTTCATTGACCTCAACTAC-3′ and reverse 5′-GCCATCCACAGTCTTCTG-3′.
Cell Culture LN229, U118MG and U87MG cell lines were commercially available from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC), and we also purchased GBM8401 glioma cell line from Bioresource Collection and Research Center (BCRC number 60163, Hsinchu, Taiwan). LN229 and GBM8401 cells were cultured in Dulbecco's modi ed Eagle's medium (DMEM) which comprises 2% fetal bovine serum (FBS), penicillin, and streptomycin, and U87MG, U118MG, and LNZ308 cells were cultured in DMEM consisting of 10% FBS, penicillin, and streptomycin. Cells above were incubated in 37°C and 5% CO2 condition.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
