Applications
This cell line along with the wild-type Hepa-1clc7 and the class II variant BpRc1 (see ATCC CRL-2217) can be used to study dioxin (TCDD) induction of the CYPIA1 gene, which precedes increased levels of p450IA1 enzyme.
Tao BpRc1 is a Class I variant of the Hepa-1clc7 (see ATCC CRL-2026) hepatoma cell line which was derived from the Hepa-1 cell line established by Bernard, et al.
Derivation
Tao BpRc1 is a Class I variant of the Hepa-1clc7 (see ATCC CRL-2026) hepatoma cell line which was derived from the Hepa-1 cell line established by Bernard, et al. This cell line along with the wild-type Hepa-1clc7 and the class II variant BpRc1 (see ATCC CRL-2217) can be used to study dioxin (TCDD) induction of the CYPIA1 gene, which precedes increased levels of p450IA1 enzyme. The p450IAI enzyme catalyzes hydroxylase activity which results in the oxygenation of aromatic substrates such as the environmental carcinogen benzo[a]pyrene. Induction of transcription requires the aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase (Ah) receptor to bind TCDD and transport of the TCDD receptor complex into the nucleus where interaction with a dioxin responsive enhancer (DRE) upstream of the CYPIA1 gene facilitates increased transcription.
Receptor Expression
aryl hydrocarbon (Ah)
Genes Expressed
cytochrome P450IA1

Complete Growth Medium The base medium for this cell line is ATCC-formulated Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium, Catalog No. 30-2002. To make the complete growth medium, add the following components to the base medium: fetal bovine serum to a final concentration of 10%.
Subculturing
Subcultivation Ratio: A subcultivation ratio of 1:4 to 1:6 is recommended
Medium Renewal: Every 2 to 3 days
Remove medium, rinse flask with fresh 0.25% trypsin, 0.02% EDTA and remove trypsin, Add an additional 1 to 2 ml of trypsin solution, and allow the flask to sit at room temperature (or 37C) until the cells detach.
Add fresh medium, aspirate and dispense into new flasks.
Cryopreservation
Culture medium, 95%; DMSO, 5%
Population Doubling Time 12 to 24 hrs
