AGS Cell Line Description and Applications
The AGS cell line is derived from the stomach
tissue of a Caucasian female who had
adenocarcinoma or stomach cancer, aged 54
years from 1979. No therapy was administered to
the patient before the cells were taken. The AGS
cell line is tumorigenic and shows epithelial cellular
morphology and this line has the potential to be
used in research related to different types of
stomach cancer.

AGS Transfection Protocol
1. Plate 10,000 - 15,000 AGS 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 15 - 30 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 AGS cells (from step
2)
7. Incubate cells at 37ºC in a humidified CO2 incubator
8. Assay for phenotype or target gene expression 48 - 72 hours after transfection
Optional: Transfection efficiency can be increased by addition of Transfection Enhancer reagent. Add 2 µl of
Transfection Enhancer reagent 12-24 hours after transfection
If the viability of AGS cells being transfected is affected at 16 - 24 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. GAPD mRNA levels were quantified using real-time RT-PCR in the AGS cells transfected with
siRNAs targeting GAPD or non-silencing siRNA. Forty-eight hours post-transfection, the cells were
harvested and analyzed by real-time RT-PCR for GAPD mRNA expression levels. Data were normalized
against the 18S rRNA signal. Control samples were either mock-transfected or untreated. Values are
normalized to untreated sample. Data are means ± SD (n=5).

Data
Figure 2. Protein expression of GAPDH in AGS cells. DNA plasmid expressing GAPDH or siRNA targeting
GAPDH were transfected into AGS 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.
