Description

Cell Line Origin

Human prostate cancer spontaneously immortalized

Cell Line Description

First spontaneously immortalized prostate cancer cell line to be established from a trans-rectal needle biopsy (TRBP) of a patient with castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Bob is a novel pre-clinical model for functional studies in CRPC and especially for studying the CRPC "basal" phenotype. SerBob grows as a monolayer culture with limited differentiation. The Y chromosome could not be detected in this cell line by short tandem repeat (STR)-PCR analysis when tested at ECACC. It is a known phenomenon that due to the increased genetic instability of cancer cell lines the Y chromosome can be rearranged or lost resulting in lack of detection. The cell line is identical to the source provided by the depositor based on the STR-PCR analysis.

Application

Prostate cancer research including drug testing.

Culture Medium

Keratinocyte-SFM (Invitrogen, catalogue no 37010-022, supplied with prequalified human recombinant epidermal growth factor 1-53 (EGF 1-53), bovine pituitary extract (BPE) and glutamine) + 2ng/ml leukaemia inhibitory factor + 2ng/ml stem cell factor + 100ng/ml cholera toxin + 1ng/ml granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor.

Subculture Routine

Split sub-confluent cultures (70-80%) 1:5 to 1:20 i.e. seeding at 2-4 x 104 cells/cm² using 0.25% trypsin or trypsin/EDTA; 5% CO₂; 37°C. At confluence 5-7 x 104 cells/cm² can be expected.
