Applications
Pathology confirmed that the specimen was a grade IV poorly differentiated papillary serous cystadenocarcinoma.
The human ovarian cancer cell line, UACC-1598, was derived from the right ovary of an untreated 78-year-old female.
The UACC-1598 cell line expresses the N-myc oncogene, which is rarely amplified in ovarian cancers.
UACC-1598 cells express low levels of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor erbB2, and are negative for ras by ELISA assay.
A high copy number amplification of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 5A2 (eIF-5A2) oncogene was detected in this region.
Storage Conditions liquid nitrogen vapor phase

Derivation
The human ovarian cancer cell line, UACC-1598, was derived from the right ovary of an untreated 78-year-old female. Pathology confirmed that the specimen was a grade IV poorly differentiated papillary serous cystadenocarcinoma.
The UACC-1598 cell line contains high-level amplification at 3q26 in the form of double minute chromosomes. A high copy number amplification of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 5A2 (eIF-5A2) oncogene was detected in this region. Overexpression the eIF-5A2 oncogene may play an important role in ovarian cancer pathogenesis.

Complete Growth Medium The base medium for this cell line is ATCC-formulated Leibovitz's L-15 Medium, Catalog No. 30-2008. To make the complete growth medium, add the following components to the base medium:
  • fetal bovine serum to a final concentration of 5%
  • 0.01 mg/ml transferrin (final conc.)
  • 0.01 mg/ml insulin (final conc.)
  • 5 µg/mL (55 U/ml) catalase (final conc.)
  • 3.6 µg/mL (0.01 mM) hydrocortisone (final conc.)
  • 70 µg/mL (0.5mM) o-phosphoethanolamine (final conc.)
  • 10 ng/ml human recombinant epidermal growth factor (EGF) (final conc.)
  • 3 ng/ml (0.01 µM) estradiol (final conc.)
  • 0.8 ng/ml (1 pM) Na-L-thyroxine (final conc.)
  • extra 2 mM glutamine

Note: Do not filter complete medium.
Subculturing
Protocol:
Subculture when cells reach 80% to 90% confluence. These cells pile up and slough off the flask surface if they become over-confluent.
Volumes used in this protocol are for 75 cm2 flasks; proportionally reduce or increase amount of dissociation medium for culture vessels of other sizes.
  1. Remove and discard culture medium.
  2. Briefly rinse the cell layer with Ca++/Mg++ free Dulbecco's phosphate-buffered saline (D-PBS) or 0.25% (w/v) Trypsin - 0.53 mM EDTA solution to remove all traces of serum which contains trypsin inhibitor.
  3. 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 5 to 15 minutes).
    Note: To avoid clumping do not agitate the cells by hitting or shaking the flask while waiting for the cells to detach. Cells that are difficult to detach may be placed at 37.0°C to facilitate dispersal.
  4. Add 6.0 to 8.0 ml of complete growth medium and aspirate cells by gently pipetting.
  5. Transfer cell suspension to a centrifuge tube and spin at approximately 125 x g for 5 to 10 minutes. Discard supernatant.
  6. Resuspend the cell pellet in fresh growth medium. Add appropriate aliquots of the cell suspension to new culture vessels.
  7. Incubate cultures at 37.0°C in atmospheric air without additional CO2.
Subcultivation ratio: A subcultivation ratio of 1:2 is recommended.
Medium renewal: every 5 to 7 days
Cryopreservation
Freeze medium: complete growth medium supplemented with an additional 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and 10% (v/v) DMSO
Storage temperature: liquid nitrogen vapor phase
Culture Conditions
Temperature: 37.0°C
Atmosphere: air, 100%
Growth Conditions: These cells grow very slowly.
