Endometrial carcinoma cell line originiating from simple epithelial cells. Positive for both estrogen receptor isoforms and progesterone receptor B, presents mutations in PTEN and K-Ras genes, one tumor suppressor and one oncogene frequently mutated in endometrial cancers. Cell line expresses high levels of MMP-2 , no MMP-9 and weak expression of TIMP-2. Cells have weak levels of phosphorylated Akt adn sow sensitivity to drugs commonly used in chemotherapy. Very aggressive cell line with high invasiveness in vitro Useful for studying mechanisms involved in the invasion of endometrial cancer cells and their regulation by sex steroids.
