Phosphodiesterase 4C (PDE4C) Cell Line | PDE4C cell line
Phosphodiesterase 4C (PDE4C) ACTOne Stable Cell (CHO cell)
Cell based high-throughput screening of human PDE4C agonists/antagonists.
Surviving Rate: More than 2.5 million/vial on the second day after thawing
the receptor specific activity is stable for 10 weeks continuous passage.
Parental cells: 1 mL (1 x 106 cells/mL in 70% DMEM, 20% FBS, 10% DMSO)
Growth medium (for Control Cells): DMEM-F12 plus 10% FBS supplemented with 250 ug/ml G418, 1 ug/ml Puromycin and 300 ug/ml hygromycin
Freezing medium: 10% DMSO, 90% complete cell culture medium.
Do not remove serum-containing medium from cell plates before dye-loading. If a serum-free environment is required, use DPBS buffer containing 0.2 to 0.5% BSA to replace medium.
Cell density is too high or too low. Cell number titration may be necessary.
Keep cells growing in medium with proper drug selection.
Check settings of fluorescence readers.
Check the liquid handling system for dispensing accuracy. Optimize the settings of liquid handling system so that cell monolayer is not disturbed by dye and compound addition.
Check settings of fluorescence readers.
Low Survival Rate of Cells After Thawing: Cell vials could have thawed accidentally. Store cell vials in liquid nitrogen immediately after receiving and keep frozen at all time.
Leaving the vial at 37 degree C for too long during thawing will lower the survival rate. Place the vial at 37 degree C until cells are just thawed.
Handle the cells gently. Don't tap the vial or pipette the cells too many times before plating the cells.
Replace the medium four hours after thawing or when the cells have settled to remove DMSO.
Slow Growth Rate of Cells: Do not split cells before they have completely recovered from thawing and reach at least 50% confluence.
Do not dilute cells excessively while splitting.
Spit cells before they reach 80 - 90% confluence.
Use Trypsin-EDTA solution to dissociate cells
Cells may not be able to recover to an optimal stage if trypsin- free dissociation buffer is used.
Human PDE4C ACTOneTM is a CHO-K1 CNG cell line that expresses recombinant human PDE4C. CHO-K1 CNG cells express a modified CNG (Cyclic Nucleotide Gated) channel that opens in response to elevated intracellular cAMP levels and consequently result in ion flux and cell membrane depolarization which can be easily measured with fluorescent Membrane Potential Dye. The assay allows both end-point and kinetic measurement of intracellular cAMP changes with a FLIPR, or a fluorescence microplate reader.
Introduction: The PDE4C receptor, also known as the Phosphodiesterase 4C receptor, is a member of the cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (PDE) family, and PDE4 subfamily. This PDE hydrolyzes the second messenger, cAMP, which is a regulator and mediator of a number of cellular responses to extracellular signals. Thus, by regulating the cellular concentration of cAMP, this protein plays a key role in many important physiological processes.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (PDE) family, and PDE4 subfamily. This PDE hydrolyzes the second messenger, cAMP, which is a regulator and mediator of a number of cellular responses to extracellular signals. Thus, by regulating the cellular concentration of cAMP, this protein plays a key role in many important physiological processes. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Jul 2011]
Uniprot Description
Hydrolyzes the second messenger cAMP, which is a key regulator of many important physiological processes.

Product Notes
The PDE4C pde4c (Catalog #AAA430350) is a Cell Line and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. cAMP dependent human PDE4C cell based assay. Cell based high-throughput screening of human PDE4C agonists/antagonists. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the PDE4C pde4c for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Phosphodiesterase 4C (PDE4C), Cell Line" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
