Description: The Myc Reporter - HCT116 cell line contains the firefly luciferase gene under the control of Myc responsive elements stably integrated into HCT116 cells, a human colon cancer cell line. HCT116 contains a mutated
beta-catenin which leads to the accumulation of β
-catenin and constitutive activation of downstream Myc that induces the expression of Myc luciferase reporter. The cell line is validated for the inhibition of the expression of Myc luciferase reporter.

Description: The SBE Reporter andndash; HEK293 Cell Line is designed for monitoring the activity of the TGF /SMAD signaling pathway. The transforming growth factor beta (TGF) signaling pathway is involved in a diverse range of cell processes such as differentiation, cell cycle arrest, and immune regulation. TGF signaling has been linked to cardiac disease, cancer, Alzheimerandrsquo;s and other human diseases. TGF proteins bind to receptors on the cell surface, initiating a signaling cascade that leads to phosphorylation and activation of SMAD2 and SMAD3, which then form a complex with SMAD4. The SMAD complex then translocates to the nucleus and binds to the SMAD binding element (SBE) in the nucleus, leading to transcription and expression of TGF / SMAD responsive genes.

Description: The cAMP/PKA Signaling Pathway CRE/CREB Reporter (Luc) – HEK293 Cell Line is designed for monitoring the activity of the cAMP/ PKA signaling pathway. The cAMP/PKA Signaling Pathway CRE/CREB Reporter (Luc) – HEK293 Cell Line contains a firefly luciferase gene under the control of multimerized cAMP response element (CRE) stably integrated into HEK293 cells. Elevation of the intracellular cAMP level activates cAMP response element binding protein (CREB) to bind CRE and induces the expression of luciferase.

Inside the cells, the Notch1 E can be cleaved by andgamma;-secretase. The active Notch1 NICD is released to nucleus and induces the constitutive expression of luciferase reporter. The cell line is validated for the inhibition of the expression of luciferase reporter using a known inhibitor of the Notch signaling pathway.

Description: The CRE/CREB Transient Pack is designed to provide the tools necessary for transiently transfecting and monitoring the activity of the cAMP/PKA signaling pathway in cultured cells. The kit contains transfection-ready vectors containing firefly luciferase as a cAMP/PKA pathway-responsive reporter and constitutively expressing Renilla luciferase as a transfection control. It also includes the Dual Luciferase detection reagents to detect both luciferase activities and specialized medium for growing and assaying HEK293 cells._x000D_The key to the CRE/CREB Transient Pack is the CRE/CREB luciferase reporter vector, which is a cAMP/PKA Cell Signaling Pathway-responsive reporter. This reporter contains the firefly luciferase gene under the control of multimerized cAMP response elements (CRE) located upstream of a minimal promoter. Elevation of the intracellular cAMP level activates cAMP response element binding protein (CREB) to bind CRE and induces the expression of luciferase._x000D_The CRE reporter is premixed with constitutively-expressing Renilla (sea pansy) luciferase vector that serves as an internal control for transfection efficiency. The kit also includes a non-inducible firefly luciferase vector premixed with the constitutively-expressing Renilla luciferase vector as a negative control. The non-inducible luciferase vector contains the firefly luciferase gene under the control of a minimal promoter, but without any additional response elements. The negative control is critical to determining pathway-specific effects and background luciferase activity._x000D_Additionally, the pack includes cell culture medium (BPS Medium 1) that has been optimized for use with HEK293 cells*. BPS Medium 1 includes MEM medium, 10% fetal bovine serum, 1% non-essential amino acids, sodium pyruvate, and 1% Pen/Strep. Finally, the pack provides the Dual Luciferase (Firefly-Renilla) Assay System. These luciferase reagents provide highly sensitive, stable detection of firefly luciferase activity and Renilla luciferase activity. The dual luciferase reagents can be used directly in cells in growth medium, and can be detected with any luminometer; automated injectors are not required._x000D_* Other mammalian cell lines may also be used, but an alternate cell culture medium may be required for optimal cell growth.
