一般資訊
| 說明 | The A2058 cell line is a human melanoma cell line derived from a brain metastasis of a patient with malignant melanoma. This cell line is widely used in cancer research due to its high metastatic potential, which makes it an important model for studying melanoma progression and the mechanisms underlying metastasis. A2058 cells are known to express nerve growth factor (NGF) receptors, which are linked to their aggressive and metastatic characteristics. One of the key features of A2058 cells is their ability to produce transforming growth factors (TGFs) that promote anchorage-independent growth, a common indicator of the transformed, cancerous phenotype. These TGFs interact with epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptors, despite the cells themselves lacking detectable EGF receptors. This interaction is critical for enabling the growth of normal fibroblasts and epithelial cells in soft agar, a standard assay for evaluating the transformation potential of cancer cells. A2058's ability to drive such growth highlights its utility in research focused on understanding and combating the spread of melanoma. |

生物分子資料
處理方式
| 培養基 | 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) |
|---|---|
| 營養補充品 | Supplement the medium with 10% FBS |
| 解離試劑 | Accutase |
| 倍增時間 | 27 hours |
| 傳代培養 | 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. |
| 流體更新 | 2 to 3 times per week |
| 冷凍培養基 | 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. |
| 細胞解凍與培養 |
|
| 培養環境 | 37°C, 5% CO2, humidified atmosphere. |
| 運送條款 | 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. |
| 儲存條件 | 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. |
品質控制與分子分析
| 不孕症 | 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. |
