  • Name: HCT 116 EphA2 KO Tet-inducible Cell Line
  • Tool sub type: Continuous
  • Parental cell: HCT 116
  • Organism: Human
  • Tissue: Colon
  • Disease: Cancer
  • Growth properties: Invasion, migration
  • Model: Knock-Out
  • Conditional: Yes
  • Conditional description: Conditional knockdown of endogenous EphA2 expression upon treatment with Tetracycline
  • Description: EphA2 is an important regulator of tumour initiation, neo-vascularization and metastasis in a wide range of cancers. The HCT 116 EphA2 KO Tet-inducible cell line was developed to address the involvement of EphA2 where it was shown that silencing of the protein suppressed migration and invasion.
  • Production details: HCT 116 cells were transfected with pTRIPZ plasmid encoding Tet-inducible shRNA against EphA2. Stably transfected cells were selected, maintained in mediumsupplemented with 0.5ÎĚ?Ÿg/mL puromycin and induced with 2ÎĚ?Ÿg/ml doxycycline.
