EML4‑ALK mutant murine lung cancer cell line

A novel syngeneic EML4-ALK mutant murine lung cancer cell line (Y143) with orthotopic growth potential, that can serve as a useful preclinical model for evaluating tumour-host interactions, the impact of specific oncogenic alterations on the tumor microenvironment, and immunotherapeutic approaches. This cell line was derived from the primary lung tumour of a female C57BL/6 mouse […]

Product description: A novel syngeneic EML4-ALK mutant murine lung cancer cell line (Y143) with orthotopic growth potential, that can serve as a useful preclinical model for evaluating tumour-host interactions, the impact of specific oncogenic alterations on the tumour microenvironment, and immunotherapeutic approaches. This cell line was derived from the primary lung tumour of a female C57BL/6 mouse harbouring the EML4-ELK gene fusion and is capable of forming orthotopic tumours in immunocompetent C57BL/6 mice. Y143 cells demonstrate the EML4-ALK genetic rearrangement as shown by PCR. In Y143 cells treatment with the EML4-ALK inhibitor crizotinib inhibits phosphorylation of AKT and ERK is inhibited in a dose dependent manner and treatment with the ALK kinase inhibitor, TAE684, inhibits growth of Y143 cells.
Gender: Female
Production details: An 8 week old C57BL/6 female mouse was treated with 30 µl of 10^6 PFU/ml Ad-EA by tracheal instillation. The Ad-EA vector has an Ad5 backbone and harbors Cas9 and guide RNAs that lead to the EML4-ALK gene fusion. When this animal was euthanized 14 week later a group of multifocal tumors 3–5 mm in size were combined and passaged into a recipient animal. For this line, tumors formed in both lung and flank; these tumors were combined and then passaged together into both lung and flank sites of recipient animals. Subsequently, the EML4-ALK mutant cell line (Y143) was established that was capable of forming orthotopic tumours in immunocompetent C57BL/6 animals.
