Description

MKN-45 is a human gastric cancer cell line derived from a poorly differentiated gastric adenocarcinoma. These cells originate from the liver and are widely used in research focused on gastric cancer development and the assessment of therapeutic agents. The cell line is characterized by the expression of wild-type p53, homozygous deletion of p16CDKN2/MTS1/INK4A and p15MTS2, amplification of the c-met oncogene, and a promoter mutation of E-cadherin. MKN-45 cells exhibit a phenotype that includes both normal and metaplastic gastric mucosa, with retained differentiation capacity. MKN-45 is commonly used to study the molecular mechanisms underlying gastric cancer and evaluate potential treatments.

Application

  • MKN-45 cells serve as a useful model for studying the biology and characteristics of gastric cancer. They can also be used to screen for potential drugs or underlying mechanisms of gastric cancer and the immunological pathways associated with it.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What are MKN-45 cells?

    MKN-45 cells are a human gastric adenocarcinoma cell line commonly used in gastric cancer research, drug screening, and anti-cancer therapy studies.

  • How do I start culturing MKN-45 cells?

    Thawing cells: Quickly thaw frozen cells in a 37°C water bath for no more than 2 minutes. Gradually transfer the cells into pre-warmed RPMI 1640 complete medium with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS).

    Seeding cells: Transfer the cell suspension to a culture flask and incubate at 37°C in a 5% CO₂ incubator.

  • How do I passage MKN-45 cells?

    Collecting cells:
    Suspension cells: MKN-45 cells are partially adherent and partially in suspension. Gently shake the flask to evenly distribute the suspension cells.
    Adherent cells: Use trypsin to detach adherent cells. First, remove the old medium and add a small amount of trypsin solution to cover the cells, then incubate at 37°C for 1-2 minutes.

     

    Stopping trypsinization: Add fresh pre-warmed complete medium to neutralize the trypsin, and gently pipette up and down to detach the cells completely.

     

    Centrifugation: Transfer the cell suspension to a centrifuge tube and centrifuge at 300xg for 5 minutes.

     

    Resuspending cells: Carefully remove the supernatant and resuspend the cell pellet in pre-warmed complete medium.

     

    Seeding new flasks: Dilute the cell suspension to the desired density and seed into new culture flasks.

  • How do I perform morphological observation of cells?

    Regularly observe cell morphology under a microscope, noting any changes in shape, confluency, and the presence of abnormal cells or contaminants.
