Comments:
7F2 is a spontaneously immortalized cell line isolated from p53-/- mouse bone marrow taken from the femur and subsequently cloned. [47440] The cells appeared to correspond to mature osteoblasts because they express alkaline phosphatase, secrete type I collagen, show a significant cyclic adenosine monophosphate response to parathyroid hormone, secrete osteocalcin, and mineralize extensively. [53586] However, in contrast to mature osteoblasts, this clone can be induced to undergo massive adipocyte differentiation, and this differentiation is accompanied by the complete loss of expression of all osteoblastic markers except alkaline phosphatase. [53586] These observations indicate that some cells that have acquired all of the characteristics of mature osteoblasts can be diverted to the adipocyte pathway. [53586]
Propagation:
ATCC complete growth medium: Alpha minimum essential medium with 2 mM l-glutamine and 1 mM sodium pyruvate without ribonucleosides and deoxyribonucleosides, 90%; fetal bovine serum, 10% Temperature: 37.0C
Subculturing:
Remove medium, and rinse with 0.25% trypsin, 0.03% EDTA solution. Remove the solution and add an additional 1 to 2 ml of trypsin-EDTA solution. Allow the flask to sit at room temperature (or at 37C) until the cells detach. Centrifuge the cell suspension at 1000 rpm for 10 minutes, resuspend the pellet in fresh medium, aspirate and dispense into new flasks. Subculture before the cells become confluent. Subcultivation ratio: A subcultivation ratio of 1:3 to 1:10 is recommended
Medium renewal: Every 2 to 3 days
Preservation:
culture medium 95%; DMSO, 5%
