Description	The MIA PaCa-2 cell line is an indispensable asset in the field of cancer research and was derived from the pancreatic carcinoma tissue of a 65-year-old male. Mia PaCa 2 cells are widely used in the study of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), a notoriously aggressive and lethal cancer type. The cell line offer a solid tumor model that reflects the cellular characteristics of PDAC. One of the key attributes of this cell line is its genetic profile, which includes mutations in critical genes like KRAS and TP53, which are emblematic of the genetic landscape observed in pancreatic cancer patients. The cells have been extensively utilized to investigate various aspects of pancreatic cancer growth, metastasis, and resistance to therapeutics. Mia Paca-2 cells are instrumental in assessing the efficacy of chemotherapeutic drugs. Furthermore, the cell line serves as a vital resource for probing into the signaling pathways pivotal for cancer cell survival and metastasis, including the MAPK, PI3K/AKT, and Wnt pathways. Studies utilizing MIA PaCa-2 cells have also shed light on the dynamic interactions between cancer cells and their microenvironment. MIA PaCa-2's robust in vitro growth and its capacity to form tumors in xenograft models make it particularly suited for examining cancer progression and the mechanisms of tumorigenesis. In summary, the Mia Paca-2 cell line, with its broad application in pancreatic cancer research, continues to be a critical resource for scientists worldwide.
Tissue	Pancreas
Growth properties	Adherent with loosely attached rounded cells
Disease	Ductal adenocarcinoma
Age	65 years
Gender	Male
Ethnicity	Caucasian
Morphology	Epithelial-like
Biosafety Level	1
Culture Medium	DMEM, w: 4.5 g/L Glucose, w: 4 mM L-Glutamine, w: 1.5 g/L NaHCO3, w: 1.0 mM Sodium pyruvate (Cytion article number 820300a)
Medium Supplements	Supplement the medium with 10% FBS
Subculturing	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.
Fluid Renewal	2 to 3 times per week
Freezing Recovery	After thawing, plate the cells at 2 to 5 x 10^4 cells/cm^2 and allow the cells to recover from the freezing process and to adhere for at least 24 hours.
Freeze Medium	CM-1 (Cytion catalog number 800100)
Handling of Cryopreserved Cultures	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.
Sterility	Mycoplasma contamination is excluded using both PCR-based assays and luminescence-based mycoplasma detection methods. To ensure there is no bacterial, fungal, or yeast contamination, cell cultures are subjected to daily visual inspections.
Safety Precautions	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.
