Background of RKO-WRN-C727S-1A2 Cell Line

The WRN gene, encoding the Werner syndrome RecQ-like helicase (WRN), is a member of the RecQ helicase family. This protein plays a crucial role in maintaining genomic stability through its involvement in DNA repair, replication, and telomere maintenance. The WRN-C727S mutation involves the substitution of cysteine for serine at codon 727, altering the helicase domain of the WRN protein. This change can impact the enzyme's function, potentially leading to deficiencies in its ability to resolve complex DNA structures and maintain genomic integrity.Understanding the functional consequences of the WRN-C727S mutation is important for elucidating the pathogenesis of Werner syndrome and for developing potential therapeutic strategies aimed at mitigating the effects of this and similar mutations.

Cell Resuscitation

Prewarm culture medium (RPMI1640 + 10% FBS)in a 37°C water bath.
Thaw the frozen vial in a 37°C water bath for 1-2 minutes.
Transfer the vial into biosafety cabinet, and wipe the surface with 70% ethanol.
Unscrew the top of the vial and transfer the cell suspension gently into a sterile centrifuge tube containing 9.0mL complete culture medium.
Spin at ~ 125 × g for 5-7 minutes at room temperature, and discard the supernatant without disturbing the pellet.
Resuspend cell pellet with the appropriate volume of complete medium and transfer the cell suspension into a T25 culture flask.
Incubate the flask at 37°C, 5% CO₂ incubator.
Split saturated culture 1:3-1:6 every 2-3 days; seed out at about 1-3 × 10⁵ cells/mL.

Cell Freezing

Prepare the freezing medium (70% RPMI1640 + 20% FBS + 10% DMSO) fresh immediately before use.
Keep the freezing medium on ice and label cryovials.
Transfer cells to a sterile, conical centrifuge tube, and count the cells.
Centrifuge the cells at 250×g for 5 minutes at room temperature and carefully aspirate off the medium.
Resuspend the cells at a density of at least 3×10⁶ cells/mL in chilled freezing medium.
Aliquot 1 mL of the cell suspension into each cryovial.
Freeze cells in the CoolCell freezing container overnight in a -80°C freezer.
Transfer vials to liquid nitrogen for long-term storage.
