StemXVivo EMT Inducing Media Supplement (100X) Summary

Kit Summary

To reliably induce epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) in vitro.

Key Benefits

  • Induces EMT in only 5 days
  • Is compatible with multiple cell types
  • Is a defined formulation to provide consistent EMT induction

 

Why Induce EMT in vitro with a Defined Media Supplement?

Designed to study EMT in vitro, this media supplement contains a cocktail of EMT-inducing recombinant proteins and neutralizing antibodies for the straightforward induction of EMT in a variety of cell types.

Reliable induction of EMT is useful for understanding the biology of EMT and for identifying and evaluating novel prognostic markers and therapeutics for fibrotic diseases and metastasis. However, the ability to induce EMT in vitro typically requires TGF-beta stimulation or labor-intensive genetic modification. Moreover, although TGF-beta is necessary to induce EMT, it is not sufficient in all cell types.

StemXVivo® EMT Inducing Media Supplement:

  • Drives EMT in only 5 days to ensure efficient use of time and reagents.
  • Provides a straightforward method to induce EMT in vitro.
  • Is completely defined to reduce experimental variability.
  • May induce EMT in cells resistant to TGF-beta stimulation alone.
  • Avoids time-consuming genetic modifications.

Scientific Data

Immunocytochemistry Induction of Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition(EMT) in the A549 human lung carcinoma cell line. View Larger

Induction of Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition(EMT) in the A549 human lung carcinoma cell line. The A549 human lung carcinoma cell line was cultured without(A, B); or with(C, D)the StemXVivo®EMT Inducing Media Supplement (Catalog #CCM017) for five days.(A)Control cells exhibit typical epithelial morphology compared to the spindle-shaped, mesenchymal morphology observed in cells following EMT induction(C). EMT status was also assessed by dual immunofluorescence.(B)Untreated cells express the epithelial marker E-Cadherin (red) and exhibit little labeling of the mesenchymal marker Fibronectin (green).D)In contrast, EMT induction results in decreased E-Cadherin expression (red) and an increase in Fibronectin labeling (green). E-Cadherin was detected in cells using a NorthernLights™ (NL) 577-conjugated Goat Anti-Human E-Cadherin Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # NL648R; red). Fibronectin was detected using a Mouse Anti-Human Fibronectin Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB1918), followed by a NL493-conjugated Donkey Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # NL009; green). The nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (blue).

Immunocytochemistry Upregulation of the Mesenchymal Markers, Snail and Vimentin, in EMT-induced Cells.  View Larger

Upregulation of the Mesenchymal Markers, Snail and Vimentin, in EMT-induced Cells.  A549 human lung carcinoma and MCF 10A human breast epithelial cells were either untreated or cultured with the StemXVivo®EMT Inducing Media Supplement (Catalog # CCM017) for five days. The cells were analyzed for an epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) by simultaneously staining with the antibodies contained in the Human EMT 3-Color Immunocytochemistry Kit (Catalog # SC026): NorthernLights™ (NL) 637-conjugated Goat Anti-Human E-Cadherin (pseudocolored white), NL557-conjugated Goat Anti-Human Snail (red), and NL493-conjugated Rat Anti-Human Vimentin (green). Cells cultured with the EMT Inducing Media Supplement showed downregulation of the epithelial marker, E-Cadherin, and concurrent upregulation of the mesenchymal markers, Snail and Vimentin, compared to control cells.

Assay Procedure

Refer to the product datasheet for complete product details.

Briefly, an epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) is induced using the following in vitro differentiation procedure:

  • Add EMT Inducing Media Supplement directly to the standard culture media of your cells of interest
  • Culture cells for only 5 days to induce EMT
  • Evaluate EMT status using characteristic morphological changes and marker antibodies

It seems very useful, but too expensive. I gave up using it because of the high cost.
