What does u937 cells mean?

u937 cells
U-937 cells are a pro-monocytic model cell line used in biomedical research. They were isolated from the histiocytic lymphoma of a 37-year-old male patient in 1974. Due to the relative uniformity of expanded cultures and lower maintenance requirements these cells have been since used as an important tool for studying phagocyte differentiation and different kinds of cell-to-cell interactions. U-937 cells mature and differentiate in response to a number of soluble stimuli, adopting the morphology and characteristics of monocytes, macrophages or dendritic cells.U-937 cells are of myeloid lineage and thus secrete a large number of cytokines and chemokines either constitutively (e.g., IL-1 and GM-CSF) or in response to soluble stimuli. TNFα and recombinant GM-CSF for example independently promote IL-10 production in U937 cells. This cell line is therefore widely used for cytokine level read-outs as a result of exposure to various chemical compounds. Namely, production of IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, TNF-α, iNOS, COX-2 and NF-κB is commonly measured.U-937 cells bear the t(10;11)(p13;q14) translocation causing a fusion of MLLT10 and Ap-3-like clathrin assembly protein PICALM. The HLA alleles present in U-937 cells are HLA-A*03:01, A*31:01, B*18:01, B*51:01, Cw*01:02 and Cw*07:02.
