General description

HepaRG is a human hepatoma cell line. The cells possess a pseudodiploid karyotype and have been characterized as an oval ductular bipotent hepatic cell line as they have the ability to differentiate into both biliary and hepatocyte lineages in the presence of DMSO. HepaRG cells express the major xenobiotic sensors (PXR, CAR and AhR), drug transporters, phase I and II drug metabolizing enzymes as well as key hepatic transcription factors involved in stress response pathways.
This product consists of ZFN engineered HepaRG 5F clone control cells. They are intended for use as both control cells for HepaRG™ knockout cells as well as for a wide variety of liver cell based assays. Hepa RG cells display hepatocyte-like functions and can be a replacement to primary human hepatocytes in a number of drug metabolism, disposition and genotoxicity studies.[1][2]

Application

HepaRG™ 5F Control Cells has been used in a gene expression assay to study the effect of pregnane X receptor on the induction of human cytochrome P450 3A4 by the irreversible myeloperoxidase inactivator PF-06282999.[3]
See technical bulletins for detailed protocols

The Role of Liver Transporters in Drug-Drug Interactions

Oral drug delivery involves dissolution in the small intestine and absorption across the enterocyte barrier into the portal vein followed by subsequent delivery through the liver into the systemic circulation.

Questions

  1. HepaRG™ 5Fコントロール細胞の可能継代回数、増殖速度についてお尋ねしたいです。

    1 answer

    1. TS Answer: the MTOX1010 cells are intended for use as both control cells for HepaRG™ knockout cells as well as for a wide variety of liver cell based assays. As such we do not have a passage number limit but a minimum culturing period. Cells should be differentiated for a minimum of 14 days, exchanging medium twice weekly, before our suggested assays (see protocol attached).

      Please note that the MTOX1010 HepaRG™ 5F Control Cells as well as the MTOX1011 PXR Knockout HepaRG™ Cells are patented, their use is strictly limited, and you are not allowed to passage them further. If you wish to do so, you would need to purchase a license.

      HepaRG™ 5F and Knockout Limited Use License

      These cells are derived from HepaRG® cells and are protected by patents; by opening this package, you agree to abide the terms of this Limited Use License as follows. You will consider the cells as a disposable product to be destroyed upon conclusion of a study or experiment; will use them only for in-vitro experiments and only at the facility of their receipt; will not propagate, amplify, reproduce, clone, or make any other use of them after a study is concluded; will not produce or manufacture commercial products or cDNA libraries or cell stock from the cells; will not use them for any study of a duration exceeding 20 days; and you will not license, resell or transfer them to anyone outside your organization for any reason. If you are unwilling to accept the terms of this LIMITED USE LICENSE, do not use the cells and return them to Sigma-aldrich for credit. Violators of this LIMITED USE LICENSE will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
