General description

The amino acid requirements for in vitro cultivation of Novikoff hepatoma cells were reported by McCoy and colleagues. These experiments were carried out using Basal Medium 5A, which was later modified to create McCoy′s 5A medium.

Application

McCoy′s 5A Medium has been used:
  • to culture HCT-116?cells
  • to culture clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) cells Caki-1
  • to maintain and culture human bone osteosarcoma Saos-2 cell line for in vitro cell studies

Biochem/physiol Actions

McCoy′s 5A Medium has been originally developed to support liver tumor cells by modification of the amino acids found in BME. This formulation has also been used to support the growth of primary cultures of bone marrow, skin, gingiva, kidney, omentum, adrenals, lung, spleen, rat embryos, and other cell types.

The evidence that pan-Bcl-2 or Bcl-xL-specific inhibitors prematurely kill virus-infected or RNA/DNA-transfected cells provides rationale for investigating these apoptotic inducers further. We hypothesized that not only invasive RNA or DNA (biological factors) but also DNA/RNA-damaging chemical or physical factors could

MicroRNA-145 (miR-145), as a tumor-suppressive miRNA, has been demonstrated down-regulated in colorectal cancer (CRC) cells, and could inhibit CRC cells growth. However, the molecular pathway in which miR-145 modulates CRC malignant transformation has not been fully revealed. Here, we reported

Ectopic Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) expression plays important role in tumor cell metabolic reprogramming and results in poor prognosis of multiple malignancies. Our previous study indicated that G6PD is overexpressed in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), the most common
