Further evidence to support the melanocytic origin of MDA-MB-435.
BACKGROUND/AIMS Until recently, the cell line MDA-MB-435 was widely accepted as originating from a breast cancer. However, microarray derived data have suggested that this cell line may in fact originate from an occult melanoma. This study was designed to investigate this hypothesis further. METHODS Quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemistry were use...
متن کاملB-Tubulin Mutations Are Associated with Resistance to 2-Methoxyestradiol in MDA-MB-435 Cancer Cells
2-Methoxyestradiol is an estradiol metabolite with significant antiproliferative and antiangiogenic activity independent of estrogen receptor status. To identify a molecular basis for acquired 2-methoxyestradiol resistance, we generated a stable 2-methoxyestradiol-resistant (2ME2R) MDA-MB-435 human cancer cell line by stepwise exposure to increasing 2-methoxyestradiol concentrations. 2ME2R cell...
متن کاملThe cytotoxic and growth inhibitory effects of palladium(II) complexes on MDA-MB-435 cells
The antitumorigenic potential of two palladium(II) complexes, [Pd(ca(2)-o-phen)Cl(2)] - C1 and [Pd(dmba)(dppp)Cl] - C2, was evaluated, using MDA-MB-435 cells, a human breast adenocarcinoma cell-line that does not express the estrogen receptor α (ER-). Growth inhibition and induced alterations in cell-morphology were analyzed. The sulforhodamine B test showed that, compared to control cells, bot...

متن کاملDensity-dependent lineage instability of MDA-MB-435 breast cancer cells
The use of cell lines in cancer research is strongly dependent on the avoidance of contaminations, the correct attribution of a cell line to the initial primary tumor and stability. Previous studies have identified expression of melanocytic molecular markers in the widely used breast cancer cell line, MDA-MB-435. In the present study the three breast cancer cell lines, MCF-7, MDA-MB-231 and MDA...
