NCI-H1792 Cells
General information
| Description | NCI-H1792 is a human non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) cell line derived from a lung adenocarcinoma of an adult patient. It has been utilized extensively in cancer research, particularly in studies focusing on lung tumorigenesis, genetic aberrations, and drug sensitivity profiling. The cell line is characterized by an epithelial morphology and forms adherent monolayers in culture. Its inclusion in large-scale datasets such as the Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia (CCLE) has enabled extensive genomic and proteomic profiling, facilitating comparative analyses with other lung cancer models. Genomically, NCI-H1792 exhibits several molecular alterations common in NSCLC. It is known to harbor a KRAS mutation, a common oncogenic driver in lung adenocarcinoma, which contributes to aberrant MAPK signaling. The cell line has also been analyzed in proteomic studies, where its protein expression profile has provided insight into signaling pathway dependencies and vulnerabilities. Proteomic data highlight its utility in understanding pathway regulation and drug target validation across KRAS-mutant cancers. These datasets also underscore its classification within a subtype of KRAS-driven cancers that show distinct metabolic and signaling characteristics. |

Handling
| Culture Medium | RPMI 1640, w: 2.0 mM stable Glutamine, w: 2.0 g/L NaHCO3 (Cytion article number 820700a) |
|---|---|
| Supplements | Supplement the medium with 10% FBS |
| Dissociation Reagent | Accutase |
| Doubling time | 45 hours |
| 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. |
