Background of EMT6-ITGB6-Cell-Line

This gene encodes a protein that is a member of the integrin superfamily. Members of this family are adhesion receptors that function in signaling from the extracellular matrix to the cell. Integrins are heterodimeric integral membrane proteins composed of an alpha chain and a beta chain. The encoded protein forms a dimer with an alpha v chain and this heterodimer can bind to ligands like fibronectin and transforming growth factor beta 1. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Cell Resuscitation

Prewarm culture medium (RPMI1640 supplemented with 10% FBS and 1μg/mL Puromycin)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 1:2-1:3 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.
