Further Information

Applications:
It can be used as the control cell line for investigating the effects of p53 and gadd45 on cellular parameters.
Background:
RKO cells contain wild-type p53 but lack endogenous human thyroid receptor nuclear receptor(h-TRbeta1). The level of p53 protein is higher in RKO cells than in RKO-E6 cells. The RKO cell line is the parental cell line(isogenic) of RKO-E6 and RKO-A545-1.
Biosafety Level:
1
Cryopreservation:
Freeze medium: 60% Basal medium+30% FBS+10% DMSO Storage temperature: Liquid nitrogen vapor phase
Culture medium:
MEM(PM150410)+10% FBS+1% P/S(PB180120)
Effects:
Yes, in nude mice. Yes, in soft agar.
Growth properties:
Adherent
Incubation Atmosphere:
Atmosphere: Air, 95%; CO2, 5% Temperature: 37°C
Medium Renewal:
Every 2 to 3 days
Morphology:
Epithelial
Receptor expression:
Urokinase receptor(u-PAR)
Subcultivation Ratio:
1:2 to 1:4
Subculturing:
Remove and discard culture medium. Briefly rinse the cell layer with DPBS solution to remove all traces of serum that contains trypsin inhibitor. Add 1.0 to 2.0 mL of Trypsin-EDTA solution to flask and observe cells under an inverted microscope until cell layer is dispersed (usually within 2 to 3 minutes). Cells that are difficult to detach may be placed at 37°C to facilitate dispersal. Add 4.0 to 6.0 mL of complete growth medium and aspirate cells by gently pipetting. Add appropriate aliquots of the cell suspension to new culture vessels.
Tissue:
Colon
Tumorigenic:
Yes
