Scientists study the behaviour of isolated cells grown in the laboratory for insights into how cells function in the body in health and disease. Experiments using cell culture are used for developing new diagnostic tests and new treatments for diseases. This is a list of major breast cancer cell lines that are primarily used in breast cancer ...

MDA-MB-468 is a cell line that was isolated from a 51-year-old female human in 1977, and is commonly used in breast cancer research. MDA-MB-468 cells were extracted from a pleural effusion of mammary gland and breast tissues, and have proven useful for the study of metastasis, migration, and breast cancer proliferation.
Originally the cell line was named MCF-7/ADR-RES; it was renamed together with the change in classification. [8] Two brain cancer cell lines, SNB-19 and U251, were discovered to come from the same person. [9] This makes a mixup likely. A 61st cell line, MDA-N, has been confirmed to being derived from the misclassified MDA-MB-435 cell line. [7]
However, DMC1 is also expressed in various cancer cell lines including cervical, breast, and lymphoma cancer cell lines. [9] Expression of meiotic DNA repair genes such as DMC1 may promote tumor cell growth by dealing with endogenous DNA damage within the tumor, and may also diminish the effectiveness of anticancer therapy, such as radiation ...
Though HT-29 cells can proliferate in cell culture lacking growth factors with a doubling time of around 4 days, the doubling time can be reduced to one day with added fetal bovine serum. [2] The cells have high glucose consumption, and in standard medium containing 25 mM glucose and 10% serum, remain undifferentiated.
S180 is a murine Sarcoma cancer cell line. [1] It has been commonly used in cancer research due to its rapid growth and proliferation in mice. [2] The cell line was initially harvested from a soft tissue tumor in a Swiss mouse. [3]
MDA-MB-231 cells were derived from a pleural effusion due to an adenocarcinoma originating in a 51-year-old caucasian female. [2] The cell line is triple negative, meaning it lacks oestrogen receptors, progesterone receptors, and HER2 (human epidermal growth factor receptor 2) amplification which many current treatment options rely on making it difficult to cure.
