ARPE-19 Cell Line
Sciencecellonline.com
This cell line is a good host for transfection. When cultured in
vitro, ARPE-19 cells are a monolayer and adhere to the surface
of the culture flask.
Other applications include drug discovery, gene expression
studies, molecular and cell biology research applications.

ARPE-19 Transfection Reagent (Retinal Epithelium)
ARPE-19 Cell Line Description and Applications
Products >
The ARPE-19 cell line originates from the retinal pigment
epithelia (RPE) of the normal eyes of a 19-year old male. The
cells were derived by Amy Aotaki-Keen in 1986 after the
male died from a head trauma from a motor vehicle accident.
After subjecting the cells to selective trypsinization for four
passages in order to remove superficial cells, the cells were
run through a fifth passage and displayed rapidly growing
retinal pigment epithelia. These rapidly growing RPE cells
formed cobblestone monolayers and also became pigmented
after several months. ARPE-19 cells are particularly useful as
a tool for transfection. In fact, due to RPE-specific markers
(CRALBP and RPE-65), this cell line is especially useful in
cellular and molecular biology research.

ARPE-19 Transfection Protocol
Products >
1. Plate 10,000 - 15,000 ARPE-19 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 ARPE-19 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 ARPE-19 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. siRNAs targeting Lamin A/C mRNA or non-silencing control siRNA were transfected into
ARPE-19 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 ARPE-19 cells. DNA plasmid expressing Lamin A/C or siRNA
targeting Lamin A/C were transfected into ARPE-19 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.
