JHC7

CRL-3267

JHC7 is an epithelial-like cell line that was isolated in 2010 from the sacrum of a 61-year-old, White female patient with chordoma. This cell line’s classical phenotypic features, such as characteristic physaliferous cells and stable expression of Brachyury, an embryonic transcription factor, are maintained through serial passaging. This cell line was accessioned with the support of the Chordoma Foundation, a non-profit organization working to improve the lives of chordoma patients by accelerating research to develop effective treatments for the chordoma disease. This cell line was deposited by A Quinones-Hinojosa, Johns Hopkins University.

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

May serve as a platform for the evaluation of several chemotherapeutic strategies to treat chordoma as it accurately recapitulates chordoma. The Brachyury expression may facilitate understanding of its role in other epithelial-derived cancers.

Derivation

Fresh surgical chordoma tissue was minced in 0.25% trypsin then placed on shaker at 37°C for 30 minutes. The tissue was then triturated and passed through 40 µm nylon mesh. Single cells were plated and the culture expanded. (source: PubMed: 21699479)

Comments

CRL-3267 is a primary chordoma cell line from a sacral tumor that expresses Brachyury. This cell line’s classical phenotypic features, such as characteristic physaliferous cells and stable expression of Brachyury, are maintained through serial passaging.

Expresses embryonic transcription factor Brachyury. This cell line was accessioned with the support of the Chordoma Foundation, a non-profit organization working to improve the lives of chordoma patients by accelerating research to develop effective treatments for the chordoma disease.

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 DMEM:F12 Medium Catalog No. 30-2006. 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
1 amp --> 1 T-75

Thaw ampoule in 37˚C water bath for approximately 2 minutes.  Transfer thawed cell suspension to a 15.0 mL centrifuge tube containing 9 mL complete medium.  Mix suspension by gentle inversion.  Remove 0.5-1.0 mL for cell count. Centrifuge remaining suspension in the 15mL centrifuge tube at 175-195 x g (1000rpm in an IEC HN SII centrifuge or equivalent) for 5 minutes, RT˚. Discard supernatant and gently resuspended pellet in 5ml fresh complete medium. Transfer 5 ml re-suspended cells into 1 T-75 flask containing 10ml fresh medium. Place the cells in a 5% CO2 incubator @ 37˚C

Subculturing procedure

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. Briefly rinse the cell layer with Ca++/Mg++ free Dulbecco's phosphate-buffered saline (D-PBS) (ATCC 30-2200) or 0.25% (w/v) Trypsin - 0.53 mM EDTA (ATCC 30-2101) solution to remove all traces of serum which contains trypsin inhibitor.
  2. 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).
  3. 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. Transfer cell suspension to a centrifuge tube and spin at approximately 125 x g for 5 to 10 minutes.
  6. Discard supernatant. Resuspend the cell pellet in fresh growth medium.
  7. Add appropriate aliquots of the cell suspension to new culture vessels
  8. Incubate cultures at 37°C.

 

Subcultivation Ratio: 1:2 to 1:3 is recommended.

Medium Renewal: 2 to 3 times a week

Culture maintenance
Cultures are grown @ 37°C in a 95% air, 5% CO2 environment. Medium change every 2-4 days.
Reagents for cryopreservation
Complete growth medium supplemented with 10% (v/v) DMSO (ATCC 4-X)
