Popis

Application

Tumourigenicity studies

HCT 116 Cell Line has been used to:

• study the importance of cyclin D1 for the activity of lithocholic acid hydroxyamide (LCAHA)
• study the effects of different amounts of transferrin within the polyethyleneimine (PEI)-small interfering RNA (siRNA) complexes on the uptake of fluorescently-labelled siRNA
• determine the effect of PTS (polyamine transport system) in the selective uptake of Quilamine HQ1-44, an iron chelator

Biochem/physiol Actions

Human colon carcinoma

One of 3 strains of malignant cells isolated from a male with colonic carcinoma. Cells are tumourigenic in nude mice and form colonies on agarose. Growth and plating efficiency are enhanced by using a feeder layer of murine fibroblasts.
