H9c2 Transfection Reagent (Embryonic Myocardium)
Altogen Biosystems offers the H9c2 Transfection Reagent among
a host of 100+ cell line specific In Vitro Transfection Kits.
H9c2 Transfection Reagent is an advanced cationic lipid
formulation based reagent, and it has been developed to provide
high transfection efficiency with H9c2 cells.
This cell line is a good host for studying mammalian heart tissue.
When cultured in vitro, H9c2 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.

H9c2 Cells
lonza.com
The H9c2 cell line is a sub clone of the
embryonic BD1X heart tissue taken from a rat
(Rattus norvegicus) by B. Kimes and B. Brandt.
The H9c2 cell line has characteristics of skeletal
muscle and also displays myoblast morphology.
The H9c2 cell line also expresses acetylcholine
receptors. This cell line is particularly useful tool
for studying mammalian heart tissue as well in
varying areas of research within the fields of
molecular and cellular biology. H9c2 is also
effective as a transfection host.

H9c2 Transfection Protocol
Products >
1. Plate 10,000 - 15,000 H9c2 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 H9c2 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 H9c2 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 H9c2 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 H9c2 cells. DNA plasmid expressing GAPDH or siRNA targeting
GAPDH were transfected into H9c2 cells following Altogen Biosystems transfection protocol. At 72 hours posttransfection 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.
