Renseignements généraux
| Description | A375-GFP is a genetically engineered variant of the human malignant melanoma cell line A375, stably expressing enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP). The parental A375 cell line is derived from a skin melanoma tumor in an adult patient and is widely used as a model for cutaneous melanoma, particularly for studies involving oncogenic BRAF signaling, as it harbors the BRAF V600E mutation. This mutation leads to constitutive activation of the MAPK/ERK pathway, driving proliferation and survival, and making A375 cells highly relevant for investigating targeted therapies such as BRAF and MEK inhibitors. The GFP-expressing derivative retains these molecular and phenotypic characteristics while enabling fluorescence-based applications. The stable incorporation of the eGFP reporter allows for real-time visualization of A375-GFP cells in both in vitro and in vivo systems. Fluorescence imaging facilitates monitoring of cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and morphological changes, as well as tracking tumor growth and metastatic dissemination in xenograft models. The enhanced GFP variant provides improved brightness and stability compared to earlier GFP constructs, enabling sensitive detection even at low cell numbers. This makes A375-GFP particularly useful in co-culture experiments, high-content imaging platforms, and studies requiring precise spatial resolution of tumor cell behavior. A375-GFP maintains the aggressive and proliferative phenotype of the parental melanoma line, including responsiveness to MAPK pathway inhibitors and the capacity for invasion and metastasis in experimental models. The addition of GFP expands its utility for drug screening, live-cell imaging, and tumor–microenvironment interaction studies. As with other reporter-labeled cell lines, validation of fluorescence stability and consistency across passages is recommended for specific experimental applications. |

Manipulation
| Milieu de culture | DMEM, w: 4.5 g/L Glucose, w: 4 mM L-Glutamine, w: 3.7 g/L NaHCO3, w: 1.0 mM Sodium pyruvate (Cytion article number 820300a) |
|---|---|
| Suppléments | Supplement the medium with 10% FBS |
| Réactif de dissociation | Accutase |
| Repiquage | 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. |
| Densité de semis | 1 to 3 x 104 cells/cm2 |
| Renouvellement des fluides | 2 to 3 times per week |
| Milieu de congélation | As a cryopreservation medium, we use complete growth medium + 10% DMSO for adequate post-thaw viability. |
