293T/17 Cell Line:
293T cells are a modified version of the 293 cell line that was created by introducing the SV40 large T antigen gene into 293 cells. This modification allows the cells to express high levels of viral proteins and to be more easily transfected with exogenous DNA. 293T cells are commonly used in molecular biology and biotechnology research as a host for the production of recombinant proteins and viral vectors. They have been widely used as a host for the production of lentiviral vectors, retroviral vectors, and other viral vectors that are used to introduce genetic material into cells. Like 293 cells, 293T cells have a high transfection efficiency and are known to be relatively easy to culture. They can be cultured as adherent monolayers or in suspension, and they are commonly used in large-scale bioreactors for the production of recombinant proteins and viral vectors. 293T cells have been used to study a wide range of biological processes, including signal transduction, protein trafficking, and gene regulation. They are also commonly used in gene editing applications, such as CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing. Additionally, 293T cells have been used in cancer research as a model system for studying the molecular mechanisms of tumorigenesis and for evaluating potential cancer therapies.
Kidney cancer is the twelfth leading cause of death in oncology patients, with more than 338,000 new cases diagnosed annually. It is reportedly responsible for over 13,000 fatalities every year in the United States alone. The lifetime risk of developing renal cancer is higher in black males, as stated by the American Cancer Society (ACS). Preclinical cell line models could help scientists find new therapies for patients with kidney cancer. The 293T/17 epithelial cell line is derived from the 293/293T cell line, originating from embryonic kidney cells. The 293T/17 cell line is similar to the 293 / 293T cell line. They all carry the SV40 T-antigen gene, which causes them to produce the simian virus 40 (SV40), allowing the episomal replication of transfected plasmids. The number designating this as 17 indicates the line which was selected specifically for its high ability to be transfected. In addition to being an adequate host for kidney cancer research, the 293T/17 cell line is helpful for studying kidney-related infections. 293T/17 could be useful in many types of molecular and cell biology experimental research. Altogen Biosystems offers high-efficiency transfection kits for this cell line.
Data:
Figure 1. Cyclophilin B silencing efficiency was determined by qRT-PCR in the 293T cells transfected by Cyclophilin B siRNA or non-silencing siRNA control following the recommended transfection protocol. Cyclophilin mRNA expression levels were measured 48 hours post-transfection. 18S rRNA levels were used to normalize the Cyclophilin B data. Values are normalized to untreated sample. Data are presented as means ± SD (n=6).
Figure 2. Protein expression of Cyclophilin B in 293T/17 cells. DNA plasmid expressing Cyclophilin B or siRNA targeting Cyclophilin B were transfected into 293T/17 cells following Altogen Biosystems transfection protocol. At 72 hours post-transfection the cells were analyzed by Western Blot for protein expression levels (normalized by total protein, 10 µg of total protein loaded per each well). Untreated cells used as a negative control.
