- Growth properties: Breast cancer cell line resistant to the aromatase inhibitor anastrozole. Estrogen receptor positive.
- Conditional: No
- Description: The MCF7/AnaR-3 Cell Line was developed as a model of resistance to anti-cancer treatment with aromatase inhibitors. Third generation aromatase inhibitors (AIs) have proven to be effective treatment for estrogen receptor positive (ER+) breast cancer and are today recommended as first line endocrine therapy for postmenopausal ER+ breast cancer patients, making up the majority of breast cancer patients. However, a major problem is development of resistance against AIs. Since molecular mechanisms of AI resistance are largely undisclosed, the development of cell lines resistant to the non-steroidal AI anastrozole allows the study of the molecular basis for resistance to AIs to unravel new targets for treatment. Human breast cancer cell line derived from MCF7 cells
- Production details: Anastrozole-resistant cell lines were established from MCF7 cells grown in medium with 10% NCS and 10ÄË?Â?Â7 M testosterone. A culture of MCF7 cells were treated with 10ÄË?Â?Â7 M anastrozole for one week, trypsinized and seeded in serial dilutions in 24-well plates. Single colonies were transferred to new wells and gradually expanded in medium with anastrozole. After ~2ÄË?Â?Â3 months, the isolated colonies gave rise to anastrozole-resistant cell lines, which could be grown i...
