K562 Cell Line:
The K-562 cell line was originally established from the bone marrow of a 53-year-old female patient who suffered from chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). The cells that were removed from the patient are tumorigenic, and exhibit lymphoblast morphology. K-562 cells have been characterized as being largely undifferentiated. It is popular for use as a highly sensitive in-vitro target using assays. K562 cells are a human immortalized erythroleukemia cell line that was derived from a patient with chronic myeloid leukemia in blast crisis. These cells are commonly used as a model system for studying hematopoiesis, gene regulation, and cancer biology. K562 cells have a unique property of being able to differentiate into erythrocytes in response to certain stimuli, such as hemin or sodium butyrate, which makes them a valuable tool for studying erythroid differentiation. K562 cells are widely used in research for several reasons. Firstly, they are easy to maintain in culture and can be grown in large quantities. Secondly, they have a relatively simple karyotype, which makes them a useful model for studying chromosomal abnormalities in leukemia. Thirdly, they express high levels of various transcription factors, including GATA-1 and NF-E2, which are important regulators of erythropoiesis. Research using K562 cells has contributed significantly to our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying erythroid differentiation and leukemia development. Additionally, K562 cells have been used to study the effects of various drugs on leukemia cells and to screen potential drug candidates for their efficacy against leukemia.
