LoVo Cell Line Description and Applications
The LoVo cell line originates from a portion of a metastatic tumor nodule taken from a 56-year-old Caucasian male who suffered from colorectal adenocarcinoma in This cell line displays epithelial morphology and also expresses several oncogenes including N-ras, H-ras, c-myc, K-ras, sis, fos and Myb. Colon cancer is an extremely prevalent type of cancer and affects men over the age of 50 in particular. As a result, the LoVo cell line has applications for critical research in the biomedical field.

3. LoVo Transfection Protocol

Products > LoVo Transfection Reagent (Colon Adenocarcinoma)
LoVo Transfection Protocol
1. Plate 10, ,000 LoVo 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 LoVo 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 LoVo 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. siRNAs targeting Lamin A/C mRNA or non-silencing control siRNA were transfected into LoVo cells following the recommended protocol. At 48 hours post-transfection the cells were analyzed by qRT-PCR for Lamin A/C gene expression levels. 18S rRNA levels were used to normalize the Lamin A/C data. Values are normalized to untreated sample. Data are means ± SD (n=4).

Data
Figure 2. Protein expression of Lamin A in LoVo cells. DNA plasmid expressing Lamin A or siRNA targeting Lamin A were transfected into LoVo 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.
