HepG2 Cell Line:

HepG2 is a human liver cancer cell line that was originally derived from a patient with hepatocellular carcinoma. Cell line is known for the sensitivity to a variety of chemotherapeutic agents, including cisplatin and doxorubicin. Researchers also use HepG2 cell line to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying liver cancer. Liver cancer is highly aggressive and devastating disease that features several main characteristics, including a high rate of recurrence, low early detection rate and ineffective treatment approaches. In addition to being the fifth common malignancy, it is considered the second primary cause of cancer-related mortalities worldwide, as stated by Oncotarget, published in July 2015. The HepG2 hepatoma cell line is important for the toxicological assessment of novel combinatorial drugs. HepG2 was derived from the liver tissue of a 15-year-old male with differentiated hepatocellular carcinoma. These cells are epithelial and have a model chromosome number of 55. HepG2 cells secrete a variety of major plasma proteins, including albumin, transferrin, alpha 1-antitrypsin, alpha 2-macroglobulin, and plasminogen (they have been grown successfully in large-scale cultivation systems). The cells are responsive to stimulation with human growth hormone. HepG2 cells have also been shown to be resistant to G418. HepG2 cells and their derivatives are used as a model system for studies of liver metabolism and toxicity of xenobiotics, antigenotoxic and cogenotoxic agents, understanding hepatocarcinogenesis, the detection of cytoprotective, and for drug targeting studies. Also, HepG2 cells are commonly employed in trials with bio-artificial liver devices. This cell line is widely used in human cancer research of the liver and is essential for many different types of biomedical research. Altogen Biosystems offers highly efficient transfection reagent kits for the HepG2 hepatoma cell line.

Data:

Figure 1. GAPD mRNA levels were quantified using real-time RT-PCR in the HepG2 cells transfected with siRNAs targeting GAPD or non-silencing siRNA. Forty-eight hours post-transfection, the cells were harvested and analyzed by real-time RT-PCR for GAPDH mRNA expression levels. Data were normalized against the 18S rRNA signal. Control samples were either mock-transfected or untreated. Values are normalized to untreated sample. Data are means ± SD (n=3).

Figure 2. Protein expression of GAPDH in HepG2 cells. DNA plasmid expressing GAPDH or siRNA targeting GAPDH were transfected into HepG2 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.
