Background of Ba/F3-BRAF-N486-P490Del-K547Q-Cell-Line

BRAF is a serine/threonine-protein kinase beloing to RAF family, which play a vital role in regulaing MAP kinase/ERKs signalling pathway, and affect the cell growth, division, differerntion. The overactivation of BRAF due to overexpression, protein mutation or rerrangment can led to cancergeneiss, the identifcaiton of BRAF as a oncogene has led to the repaid devlopement of several therapeutical anticancer drugs, such as vemurafenib[8] and dabrafenib. Ba/F3 cell, a murine interleukin-3 dependent pro-B cell line, is a popular system for exploring both kinases and their inhibitors, because some protein kinases can render the Ba/F3 cells to be depended on the activation of the kinases instead of IL-3 supplement, while their inhibitors can antagonize the kinase-dependent growth effects.

Cell Line Generation

Ba/F3-BRAF-N486-P490del-K547Q cell Line was generated using a retrovirus vector expressing the human BRAF sequence with N486-P490del-K547Q mutation.

Characterization

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 1:10 every 3 days; seed out at about 1-3 × 10⁵ cells/mL.

Cell Freezing

Prepare the freezing medium (70% RPMI-1640 + 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
