SK-MEL-28 Cell Line:

Malignant melanoma is an invasive form of skin cancer that originates from the transformation of melanocytes. It is characterized by the highly aggressive nature and ability to metastasize to diverse distant sites. Human cell lines can provide a realistic prediction of drug responses in humans as well as information on safety and efficacy of drug candidates. The SK-MEL-28 cell line was established from the skin of a 51-year-old male patient with malignant melanoma. SK-Mel-28 cells exhibit polygonal cell morphology, and this is just one of many melanoma cell lines (also named SK-MEL). The modal chromosome number of 90 occurs nearly in 50% of cells. Also, the hypotetraploid SK-MEL-28 expresses wildtype N-Ras gene. This tumorigenic cell line could be helpful for skin cancer research as well as for other cell and molecular biology applications. Altogen Biosystems manufactures nanoparticle-based transfection kits for the SK-MEL-28 cell line.

Data:

Figure 1. siRNAs targeting Lamin A/C mRNA or non-silencing control siRNA were transfected into SKMEL28 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).

Figure 2. Protein expression of Lamin A/C in SK-MEL-28 cells. DNA plasmid expressing Lamin A/C or siRNA targeting Lamin A/C were transfected into SK-MEL-28 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.
