Background of 293T-UAS-Luc2-FGFR1-KO Cell Line

The Fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1) gene encodes a transmembrane cytokine receptor, which comprises an extracellular region of three immunoglobulin-like domains (D1, D2 and D3), a transmembrane helix and a cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase domain. Although different isoforms have different tissue expression and varied affinity to FGFs, FGFR1-IIIc, spliced through the use of exon 8B, is the predominant isoform that carries out most of the functions of the FGFR1 gene.The downstream signaling of FGFR1 is activated by the dimerization and activation of the receptor and autophosphorylation of the tyrosine kinase domains. These downstream signaling pathways include the mitogen activated protein kinases (MAPK), the phosphatidylinositide 3 kinase/AKT (PI3K/AKT) and the phospholipase C γ (PLC). FGFR1-related signaling pathways are involved in the early development of the human embryo, and thus play an important role in gastrulation, organ specification and patterning of many tissues.

Cell Resuscitation

Prewarm culture medium (DMEM+10%FBS+150μg/mL Hygromycin B)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 1:4-1:5 every 2-3 days; seed out at about 1-3 × 10⁵ cells/mL.

Cell Freezing

Prepare the freezing medium (70% DMEM + 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.
