Products > Calu-3 Transfection Reagent (Lung Carcinoma Cells, HTB-55)
Altogen Biosystems offers the Calu-3 Cell Transfection Reagent among a host of 100+ cell line specific In Vitro Transfection Kits.
The Calu-3 Cell Transfection Reagent is a lipid-mediated formulation, and it has been developed to provide high transfection efficiency with Calu-3.
This cell line is a good host for studying lung cancer as well as a range of areas within the field of biomedical therapeutics and biology. When cultured in vitro, Calu-3 cells are a monolayer and adhere to the surface of the culture flask.
Other applications include drug discovery, gene expression studies, molecular and cell biology research applications.

Calu-3 Cell Line Description and Applications
The Calu-3 cell line originates from the lung tissue of 25-year old Caucasian male with adenocarcinoma. Of note is that Cytoxan, Bleomycin and Adriamycin were administered to the patient before removing the lung tissue. The Calu-3 cell line displays epithelial cellular morphology line and is tumorigenic. The cell line has several biomedical applications, but it is also particularly useful as a transfection host for studying lung cancer. The stem line chromosome number for this cell line hypotriploid.

Calu-3 Transfection Protocol
1. Plate 10, ,000 Calu-3 cells per well in 0.5 ml of complete growth medium 12–24 hours prior to transfection
2. Wash with 1xPBS and add 0.5 ml of fresh growth medium
3. Prepare transfection complexes by mixing 40 µl of serum-free medium, 5.5 µl of transfection reagent, and
• 750 ng DNA (or mRNA), or
• 30 nM - 50 nM of siRNA (or microRNA)
*Referred to a final volume including growth medium
4. Incubate transfection complexes at RT for minutes
5. Optional: Add 2 µl of Complex Condenser. This reagent reduces the size of transfection complex, therefore increasing transfection efficiency; however, it may increase cell toxicity
6. Add prepared transfection complexes to 0.5 ml of complete growth medium with Calu-3 cells (from step 2)
7. Incubate cells at 37ºC in a humidified CO2 incubator
8. Assay for phenotype or target gene expression hours after transfection
Optional: Transfection efficiency can be increased by addition of Transfection Enhancer reagent. Add 2 µl of Transfection Enhancer reagent hours after transfection
If the viability of Calu-3 cells being transfected is affected at hours post-transfection, the level of cytotoxicity can be decreased by changing the growth medium and eliminating redundant exposure of cells to transfectant

Data
Figure 1. GAPD mRNA levels were quantified using real-time RT-PCR in the Calu-3 cells transfected with siRNAs targeting GAPD or non-silencing siRNA. Forty-eight hours post-transfection, the cells were harvested and analyzed by real-time RT-PCR for GAPDH mRNA expression levels. Data were normalized against the 18S rRNA signal. Control samples were either mock-transfected or untreated. Values are normalized to untreated sample. Data are means ± SD (n=3).

Data
Figure 2. Protein expression of Lamin A/C in Calu-3 cells. DNA plasmid expressing Lamin A/C or siRNA targeting Lamin A/C were transfected into Calu-3 cells following Altogen Biosystems transfection protocol. At 72 hours post-transfection the cells were analyzed by Western Blot for protein expression levels (normalized by total protein, 10 µg of total protein loaded per each well). Untreated cells used as a negative control.
