Documentation

ATCC determines the biosafety level of a material based on our risk assessment as guided by the current edition of Biosafety in Microbiological and Biomedical Laboratories (BMBL), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It is your responsibility to understand the hazards associated with the material per your organization’s policies and procedures as well as any other applicable regulations as enforced by your local or national agencies.

ATCC highly recommends that appropriate personal protective equipment is always used when handling vials. For cultures that require storage in liquid nitrogen, it is important to note that some vials may leak when submersed in liquid nitrogen and will slowly fill with liquid nitrogen. Upon thawing, the conversion of the liquid nitrogen back to its gas phase may result in the vial exploding or blowing off its cap with dangerous force creating flying debris. Unless necessary, ATCC recommends that these cultures be stored in the vapor phase of liquid nitrogen rather than submersed in liquid nitrogen.

Detailed product information

General

Specific applications
Both the PL45 and the Panc 10.05 cell lines exhibit a K-ras oncogene mutation at codon 12 where a GGT --> GAT mutation resulted in substitution of aspartic acid for glycine.
PL45 is a pancreatic adenocarcinoma epithelial cell line derived in 1992 from a primary tumor removed from the pancreas of a man with poorly differentiated pancreatic adenocarcinoma of ductal origin.
The line expresses wild-type DPC4 and BRCA2 genes.
The PL45 cell line was derived from the same patient as the Panc 10.05 cell line (ATCC CRL-2547).

Clinical data
PL45 is a pancreatic adenocarcinoma epithelial cell line derived in 1992 from a primary tumor removed from the pancreas of a man with poorly differentiated pancreatic adenocarcinoma of ductal origin. The PL45 cell line was derived from the same patient as the Panc 10.05 cell line (ATCC CRL-2547).
Oncogene
BRCA2+; DPC4+; K-Ras+; p53+
Genes expressed
BRCA2+; DPC4+; K-ras+; p53+
Comments
The MTS1 gene on chromosome 9p21 encodes the p16 inhibitor of cyclinD/CDK4 complexes. PL45 cells have a wild-type p16 gene.
This gene is transcriptionally silenced and methylated in PL45 cells.
PL45 cells have a wild-type cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK4) gene.
Both the PL45 and the Panc 10.05 cell lines exhibit a K-ras oncogene mutation at codon 12 where a GGT --> GAT mutation resulted in substitution of aspartic acid for glycine.
The line expresses wild-type DPC4 and BRCA2 genes.
The line has a p53 gene mutation at codon 255 where an ATC --> AAC mutation resulted in substitution of asparagine for isoleucine.

Handling information

Unpacking and storage instructions
  1. Check all containers for leakage or breakage.
  2. Remove the frozen cells from the dry ice packaging and immediately place the cells at a temperature below ­-130°C, preferably in liquid nitrogen vapor, until ready for use.
Complete 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%.
Temperature
37°C
Atmosphere
95% Air, 5% CO2
Handling procedure
To insure the highest level of viability, thaw the vial and initiate the culture as soon as possible upon receipt. If upon arrival, continued storage of the frozen culture is necessary, it should be stored in liquid nitrogen vapor phase and not at -70°C.  Storage at -70°C will result in loss of viability.

  1. Thaw the vial by gentle agitation in a 37°C water bath. To reduce the possibility of contamination, keep the O-ring and cap out of the water.  Thawing should be rapid (approximately 2 minutes).
  2. Remove the vial from the water bath as soon as the contents are thawed, and decontaminate by dipping in or spraying with 70% ethanol. All of the operations from this point on should be carried out under strict aseptic conditions.
  3. Transfer the vial contents to a centrifuge tube containing 9.0 mL complete culture medium and spin at approximately 125 x g for 5 to 7 minutes.
  4. Resuspend cell pellet with the recommended complete medium (see the specific batch information for the culture recommended dilution ratio) and dispense into a 25 cm2 or a 75 cm2 culture flask.  It is important to avoid excessive alkalinity of the medium during recovery of the cells.  It is suggested that, prior to the addition of the vial contents, the culture vessel containing the complete growth medium be placed into the incubator for at least 15 minutes to allow the medium to reach its normal pH (7.0 to 7.6).
  5. Incubate the culture at 37°C in a suitable incubator.  A 5% CO2 in air atmosphere is recommended if using the medium described on this product sheet.
Subculturing procedure
Protocol:
  1. Remove and discard culture medium.
  2. Briefly rinse the cell layer with 0.25% (w/v) Trypsin- 0.53 mM EDTA solution to remove all traces of serum that contains trypsin inhibitor.
  3. Add 2.0 to 3.0 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°C to facilitate dispersal.
  4. Add 6.0 to 8.0 mL of complete growth medium and aspirate cells by gently pipetting.
  5. Add appropriate aliquots of the cell suspension to new culture vessels.
  6. Incubate cultures at 37°C.
Subcultivation Ratio: A subcultivation ratio of 1:2 to 1:6 is recommended
Medium Renewal: Every 2 to 3 days
Reagents for cryopreservation
Complete growth medium supplemented with 5% (v/v) DMSO (ATCC 4-X)
