Background of Ba/F3-FLT3-ITD-Cell-Line

Fms like tyrosine Kinase 3 (FLT3), also named as CD135, FLK2, is receptor kinase receptor, expressed on the surface of many hematopoietic progenitor cells. Overactivation of FLT3 due to mutation and overexpression can lead to the development and poor prognosis of Leukemia, the identification of FLT3 as a driver gene has led to the repaid development of anti-AML therapeutics, including Sunitinib, Sorafenib and Quizartinib (AC220). 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 FLT3-ITD cell line was generated using retrovirus vector expressing human FLT3-ITD sequence.

Characterization

Figure: Characterization of FLT3 and its mutants overexpressing in Ba/F3 stable clones using FACS.

Harvest and seed the Ba/F3 cells expressing FLT3 mutant in 96-well plate (3000 cells/90μL medium).
Next day, add 10μL 10× serially diluted compound solution each well and incubate the plates for another 72 hours.
Add 100μL Cell Titer-Glo each well, mixed and readout using Envision.
Plot the dose-responsive curve and fit the IC₅₀ (the centration of 50% inhibition of DMSO vehicle treated clones) using GraphPad Prism software (Version 5).

Cell Resuscitation

Prewarm culture medium (RPMI-1640 supplemented with 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
