HCT-116 Cell Line:

Colon cancer mostly affects older people in their late 60s and early 70s; however, the only group that is associated with increased incidence rates is people younger than age 50, as per the Colon Cancer Alliance (CCA). The HCT-116 colon cancer cell line is essential for researching biochemical pathways that aid the proliferation of colon carcinoma. The HCT-116 cell line was derived from epithelial tumorigenic colon tissue of an adult male with colorectal carcinoma. These cells have a mutation in the 13 codon of the ras proto-oncogene, and therefore they are useful for PCR assays studying this codon. They are also positive for transforming growth factor beta 1 and beta 2 expression. HCT-116 cells are known for their sensitivity to chemotherapeutic drugs such as 5-fluorouracil and oxaliplatin, which makes them a valuable tool for evaluating the efficacy of new cancer treatments. This cell line is useful for biomedical research related to colon cancer. Altogen Biosystems provides highly efficient lipid-based transfection reagent kits for the HCT-116 colon cancer cell line.

HCT116 is a human colorectal carcinoma cell line commonly used in research studies. The HCT116 cell line was derived from the colon of a 44-year-old male in 1982. It has been extensively characterized and is known for its ability to form tumors in vivo, making it a useful tool for studying cancer biology and for testing anti-cancer drugs. The HCT116 cell line has a diploid karyotype and is deficient in the mismatch repair gene MLH1, which makes it a useful model for studying the genetic basis of colorectal cancer. The cells are adherent and grow well in culture, and can be maintained in a variety of media and conditions. HCT116 cells have been used in numerous studies investigating cancer biology, including DNA repair mechanisms, cell cycle regulation, apoptosis, and drug resistance.

Data:

HCT116 Transfection Reagent

Figure 1. siRNAs targeting Lamin A/C mRNA or non-silencing control siRNA were transfected into HCT-116 cells following the recommended protocol. At 48 hours post-transfection the cells were analyzed by qRT-PCR for Lamin A/C gene expression levels. 18S rRNA levels were used to normalize the Lamin A/C data. Values are normalized to untreated sample. Data are means ± SD (n=4).

Figure 2. Protein expression of Lamin A/C in HCT-116 cells. DNA plasmid expressing Lamin A/C or siRNA targeting Lamin A/C were transfected into HCT-116 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.
