MCF-7 Cells. MCF-7 is a breast cancer cell line isolated in 1970 from a 69-year-old White woman. [1] MCF-7 is the acronym of Michigan Cancer Foundation-7, referring to the institute in Detroit where the cell line was established in 1973 by Herbert Soule and co-workers. [2]
Cancer cells are cells that divide continually, forming solid tumors or flooding the blood or lymph with abnormal cells.Cell division is a normal process used by the body for growth and repair.
The E-SCREEN cell proliferation assay is performed with the human MCF-7 breast cancer cell line, an established estrogenic cell line that endogenously expresses ERα. [ 1 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] Human MCF-7 are cultivated in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM) with fetal bovine serum (FBS) and phenol red as buffer tracer (culture medium), at 37 ...
The cancer stem cell model, also known as the Hierarchical Model proposes that tumors are hierarchically organized (CSCs lying at the apex [6] (Fig. 3).) Within the cancer population of the tumors there are cancer stem cells (CSC) that are tumorigenic cells and are biologically distinct from other subpopulations [7] They have two defining features: their long-term ability to self-renew and ...

The lethal-7 (let-7) gene was first discovered in the nematode C. elegans as a key developmental regulator and became one of the first two known microRNAs (the other one is lin-4). [8] Soon, let-7 was found in the fruit fly (Drosophila), and identified as the first known human miRNA by a BLAST (basic local alignment search tool) research. [9]

T-47D cells have been employed in studies of the effects of progesterone on breast cancer and the corresponding transcriptional regulation caused by introduced drugs. [3] T-47D cells can be implanted into immunodeficient mice, forming xenografts that can undergo drug testing with corresponding receptor status and angiogenesis changes.
