| Derivation |
The mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEF) cell line, PERK-KO-DR (CRL-2976), was established from a 13.5 day-old PERK -/- mouse embryo by SV-40 immortalization. These cells lack the Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) localized stress induced kinase, PERK, which mediates signaling from the stressed ER to the translational apparatus by phosphorylating eukaryotic initiation factor 2a (eIF2a). Phosphorylation of eIF2a results in a global inhibition of protein synthesis. PERK is a major regulator of the unfolded protein response (UPR), and as such, these PERK-KO-DR cells are very useful to investigate ER stress and UPR signaling in a variety of contexts. DR-Wildtype cells, ATCC CRL-2977, are available for use as a control. In addition, GCN2 knockout MEF cell line ATCC CRL-2978 and CHOP knockout MEF cell line ATCC CRL-2979 are two related important tools for ER stress and UPR studies. |

| Complete Growth Medium |
The base medium for this cell line is ATCC-formulated Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium, Catalog No. 30-2002.
To make the complete growth medium, add the following components to the base medium:
- O.1 mM Non-Essential Amino Acids (NEAA)
- 0.05mM 2-Mercaptoethanol
- fetal bovine serum to a final concentration of 10%
|
| Subculturing |
Volumes used in this protocol are for 75 cm 2 flasks; proportionally reduce or increase amount of dissociation medium for culture vessels of other sizes.
- Remove and discard culture medium.
- Briefly rinse the cell layer with Ca++/Mg++ free Dulbecco's phosphate-buffered saline (D-PBS) or 0.25% (w/v) Trypsin - 0.53 mM EDTA solution to remove all traces of serum which contains trypsin inhibitor.
- Add 2.0 to 3.0 mL of Trypsin-EDTA solution to flask and observe cells under an inverted microscope until cell layer is dispersed (usually within 5 to 15 minutes).
Note: To avoid clumping do not agitate the cells by hitting or shaking the flask while waiting for the cells to detach. Cells that are difficult to detach may be placed at 37°C to facilitate dispersal.
- Add 6.0 to 8.0 mL of complete growth medium and aspirate cells by gently pipetting.
- Add appropriate aliquots of the cell suspension to new culture vessels. An inoculum of 1 x 103 to 2 x 103 viable cells/cm2 is recommended.
- Incubate cultures at 37°C.
Subcultivation ratio: A subcultivation ratio of 1:10 to 1:30 twice weekly is recommended.
Medium renewal: every 2 to 3 days
Note: For more information on enzymatic dissociation and subculturing of cell lines consult Chapter 13 in Culture of Animal Cells, a Manual of Basic Technique by R. Ian Freshney, 5th edition, published by Wiley-Liss, N.Y., 2005. |
