Description

The SK-N-SH cell line, established in 1970 from metastatic cells found in the bone marrow aspirate of a four-year-old female, is a well-known human neuroblastoma cell line extensively utilized in biomedical research. These cells exhibit neuronal characteristics and are commonly employed in studies related to neurobiology, neurodevelopment, and neurotoxicity. SK-N-SH cells have played a crucial role in elucidating molecular mechanisms underlying various neurological diseases and disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and neurodevelopmental disorders. Renowned for their capacity to differentiate into mature neuronal-like cells, they serve as a valuable tool in drug discovery and screening assays aimed at identifying potential treatments for neurological conditions. Additionally, SK-N-SH cells have been pivotal in investigations exploring neuronal differentiation pathways, synaptic transmission, and neuroprotective strategies.

SK-N-SH

The SK-N-SH cell line is hyperdiploid human female (XX), with a modal chromosome number of 47. Normal chromosomes N9 and N22 are single, while chromosome N7 is trisomic. Structural alterations have formed two marker chromosomes, 9q+ and 22q+, with extra bands present on one copy of chromosome N7, resulting in the formation of a marker chromosome as described by R.C. Seeger. These cells may have been translocated in part(s) to the q arms of chromosomes N9 and N22.

Application

FOR RESEARCH USE ONLY

 

SK-N-SH is a human neuroblastoma cell line that is widely used in scientific research, particularly in the field of neuroscience. Here are some key applications of SK-N-SH cells in science research:

 

Neurobiological Studies

SK-N-SH cells serve as a valuable model for studying neurobiological processes, including neuronal development, differentiation, and function. Researchers use these cells to investigate the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying neural processes.

 

Neurotoxicity Testing

SK-N-SH cells are employed in neurotoxicity studies to assess the impact of various substances, such as drugs or environmental agents, on neuronal viability and function. This is crucial for evaluating potential neurotoxic effects and understanding mechanisms of neuroprotection.

 

Neurodegenerative Disease Research

Researchers studying neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases, use SK-N-SH cells to model disease processes. These cells help investigate the underlying causes of neurodegeneration and test potential therapeutic interventions.

 

Drug Discovery and Development

SK-N-SH cells are utilized in drug screening assays to assess the effects of compounds on neuronal cells. This is valuable in the early stages of drug discovery for identifying potential candidates for the treatment of neurological disorders.

 

Cell Signaling and Gene Expression Studies

SK-N-SH cells are employed to investigate cell signaling pathways and gene expression patterns associated with neuronal differentiation and function. Understanding these mechanisms can provide insights into normal neuronal processes and abnormalities in disease states.

 

Neuronal Differentiation Studies

SK-N-SH cells can be induced to differentiate into more mature neuronal phenotypes. This property makes them useful for studying the process of neuronal differentiation and for generating differentiated cell models for specific research purposes.
