AN3 Ca Cells

The An3 Ca cell line is derived from a human endometrial adenocarcinoma, a type of cancer originating from the lining of the uterus. This cell line is estrogen receptor negative (ER-) and exhibits aggressive tumorigenic potential when assessed in vivo. An3 Ca cells are used extensively in research focused on understanding the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying endometrial cancer progression, including studies on cancer cell proliferation, metastasis, and response to therapeutic agents.

Characteristically, An3 Ca cells display an epithelial morphology and have been utilized to study the impact of various genetic and environmental factors on cancer cell behavior. Research using this cell line has contributed to identifying potential therapeutic targets and understanding the resistance mechanisms against conventional treatments. They serve as a valuable model for evaluating new drugs or treatment strategies that could be effective against aggressive forms of endometrial cancer.

Overall, the An3 Ca cell line is instrumental in advancing the scientific knowledge of endometrial adenocarcinoma, offering insights that might lead to more effective interventions for this challenging and often lethal disease.

Remove the old medium from the adherent cells and wash them with PBS that lacks calcium and magnesium. For T25 flasks, use 3-5 ml of PBS, and for T75 flasks, use 5-10 ml. Then, cover the cells completely with Accutase, using 1-2 ml for T25 flasks and 2.5 ml for T75 flasks. Let the cells incubate at room temperature for 8-10 minutes to detach them. After incubation, gently mix the cells with 10 ml of medium to resuspend them, then centrifuge at 300xg for 3 minutes. Discard the supernatant, resuspend the cells in fresh medium, and transfer them into new flasks that already contain fresh medium.

Within 24 to 48 hours

Confirm that the vial remains deeply frozen upon delivery, as cells are shipped on dry ice to maintain optimal temperatures during transit.

Upon receipt, either store the cryovial immediately at temperatures below -150° C to ensure the preservation of cellular integrity, or proceed to step 3 if immediate culturing is required.

For immediate culturing, swiftly thaw the vial by immersing it in a 37° C water bath with clean water and an antimicrobial agent, agitating gently for 40-60 seconds until a small ice clump remains.

Perform all subsequent steps under sterile conditions in a flow hood, disinfecting the cryovial with 70% ethanol before opening.

Carefully open the disinfected vial and transfer the cell suspension into a 15 ml centrifuge tube containing 8 ml of room-temperature culture medium, mixing gently.

Centrifuge the mixture at 300 x g for 3 minutes to separate the cells and carefully discard the supernatant containing residual freezing medium.

Gently resuspend the cell pellet in 10 ml of fresh culture medium. For adherent cells, divide the suspension between two T25 culture flasks; for suspension cultures, transfer all the medium into one T25 flask to promote effective cell interaction and growth.

Adhere to established subculture protocols for continued growth and maintenance of the cell line, ensuring reliable experimental outcomes.

When planning to store a cryovial in liquid nitrogen for future thawing, it is mandatory to adhere to stringent safety measures. Appropriate protective gloves and clothing are essential, and the use of a face mask or safety goggles is required during the transfer of frozen samples to or from the liquid nitrogen tank. This is to mitigate the risk of injury from potential cryovial explosions upon removal, which can result in the projection of sharp fragments.
