BxPC-3
BxPC-3 (BxPC3) is a human pancreatic cancer cell line used in the study of pancreatic adenocarcinoma Adenocarcinoma (; plural adenocarcinomas or adenocarcinomata ) (AC) is a type of cancerous tumor that can occur in several parts of the body. It is defined as neoplasia of epithelial tissue that has glandular origin, glandular characteristics, or ...s and treatments thereof. BxPC-3 cells were derived from a 61-year-old female in 1986, and were confirmed to be tumorigenic in athymic nude mice, with moderate differentiation. The cells produce mucin, and exhibit an epithelial morphology. BxPC-3 cells lack a KRAS mutation, though it is commonly found in pancreatic cancers. BcPC-3 cells, along with JoPaca-1 cells, have high expression of cancer stem cell markers. BxPC-3 has been used in tumorigenicity studies, pancreatic cancer therapy research, and other biomedical applications. The cells have been additionally studied for their phenotype, phenotypic and genotype, genotypic propert ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
PANC-1
PANC-1 is a human pancreatic cancer cell line isolated from a pancreatic carcinoma of Ductal cells, ductal cell origin. PANC-1 was derived from the tissue of a 56-year-old male. The cells can metastasis, metastasize but have poor differentiation abilities. PANC-1 cells take 52 hours to double in population, have a modal chromosome number of 63, and show G6PD of the slow mobility type. PANC-1 cells are known to have an epithelial morphology and are adherent in cell culture flasks. The cells can be frozen and regrown in culture, provided that they are appropriately warmed. Additionally, PANC-1 cells have a tendency to clump, a feature which can be avoided with trypsinization. PANC-1 cells have been used to study the role of keratin reorganization during the migration of cancer cells, along with calcium-mediated actin reset in response to physiological changes.
