General information
| Description | The 8305C cell line is a human thyroid carcinoma cell line derived from an undifferentiated anaplastic carcinoma of the thyroid. These cells are characterized by their aggressive growth behavior and poor differentiation, which are hallmarks of anaplastic thyroid carcinomas. This cell line retains several key features that are relevant to the study of thyroid cancer pathophysiology, including alterations in gene expression profiles and signaling pathways that are pivotal in thyroid carcinogenesis. Studies utilizing the 8305C cell line have demonstrated its utility in exploring the molecular mechanisms underlying thyroid cancer progression, resistance to therapy, and metastasis. Specifically, this cell line has been used to investigate the efficacy of various chemotherapeutic agents and targeted therapies, making it a valuable model for preclinical drug testing. Additionally, 8305C has been employed in research focusing on the role of genetic and epigenetic modifications in thyroid cancer, offering insights into potential therapeutic targets and biomarkers for this aggressive cancer type. Due to its derivation from a high-grade malignancy, the 8305C cell line serves as an important tool in thyroid cancer research, particularly in studies aimed at understanding the aggressive behavior of anaplastic thyroid carcinoma and developing strategies for its effective treatment. |

Biomolecular Data
Handling
| Culture Medium | EMEM (MEM Eagle), w: 2 mM L-Glutamine, w: 2.2 g/L NaHCO3, w: EBSS (Cytion article number 820100a) |
|---|---|
| Supplements | Supplement the medium with 10% FBS and 1% NEAA |
| Dissociation Reagent | Accutase |
| Doubling time | 54 hours |
| Subculturing | Remove the old medium from the adherent cells and wash them with PBS that lacks calcium and magnesium. For T25 flasks, use 3-5 ml of PBS, and for T75 flasks, use 5-10 ml. Then, cover the cells completely with Accutase, using 1-2 ml for T25 flasks and 2.5 ml for T75 flasks. Let the cells incubate at room temperature for 8-10 minutes to detach them. After incubation, gently mix the cells with 10 ml of medium to resuspend them, then centrifuge at 300xg for 3 minutes. Discard the supernatant, resuspend the cells in fresh medium, and transfer them into new flasks that already contain fresh medium. |
| Fluid renewal | 2 to 3 times per week |
| Freeze medium | As a cryopreservation medium, we use complete growth medium (including FBS) + 10% DMSO for adequate post-thaw viability, or CM-1 (Cytion catalog number 800100), which includes optimized osmoprotectants and metabolic stabilizers to enhance recovery and reduce cryo-induced stress. |
| Thawing and Culturing Cells |
|
| Incubation Atmosphere | 37°C, 5% CO2, humidified atmosphere. |
| Shipping Conditions | Cryopreserved cell lines are shipped on dry ice in validated, insulated packaging with sufficient refrigerant to maintain approximately −78 °C throughout transit. On receipt, inspect the container immediately and transfer vials without delay to appropriate storage. |
| Storage Conditions | For long-term preservation, place vials in vapor-phase liquid nitrogen at about −150 to −196 °C. Storage at −80 °C is acceptable only as a short interim step before transfer to liquid nitrogen. |
Quality Control & Molecular Analysis
| Sterility | Mycoplasma contamination is excluded using both PCR-based assays and luminescence-based mycoplasma detection methods. To ensure there is no bacterial, fungal, or yeast contamination, cell cultures are subjected to daily visual inspections. |
