Due to its glucose-responsive insulin secretion capability, the MIN-6 cell line is widely used to study beta cell regulatory mechanisms. It serves as a valuable model for investigating pancreatic islet development, cell differentiation, and overall islet function. Researchers can utilize MIN-6 cells to gain insights into the intricate processes involved in insulin secretion and explore potential therapeutic strategies for beta cell-related disorders, particularly diabetes.
The recommended medium for MIN-6 cells is RPMI-1640 supplemented with 20% FBS, 0.05 mM 2-mercaptoethanol, and 1% Penicillin-Streptomycin (PS).
We recommend that the passage number of MIN-6 cells should not exceed 35 generations. Within the range of 10-35 passages, the cells maintain good insulin secretion functionality and morphology. However, passing beyond 35 generations may lead to genetic mutations, functional decline, and a reduction in insulin secretion capacity.
