Background of TMD8-BTK-C481S-KI-1B3 Cell Line

Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) is a critical enzyme in the B-cell receptor (BCR) signaling pathway, playing a pivotal role in the development, differentiation, and survival of B-cells. Due to its central role in B-cell malignancies, BTK has become a key therapeutic target for the treatment of various B-cell lymphomas and autoimmune diseases.The BTK-C481S mutation arises from a point mutation in the BTK gene, where cysteine at position 481 is replaced by serine (C481S). This mutation occurs within the binding site of covalent BTK inhibitors, such as ibrutinib, which rely on forming a covalent bond with the cysteine residue to exert their inhibitory effects.In addition to its role in resistance, the BTK-C481S mutation has also provided valuable insights into the structural biology of BTK and its interaction with inhibitors. Structural studies have revealed how the C481S mutation alters the binding pocket of BTK, providing a rationale for the design of novel inhibitors that can circumvent resistance. These findings have not only advanced our understanding of BTK biology but also paved the way for the development of more effective therapeutic strategies.

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 1:3-1:4 every 2-3 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.
