Beschreibung

Allgemeine Beschreibung

The SMA-560 cell line is a well-established glioma model derived from a spontaneous murine astrocytoma (2,3). SMA560 cells are highly reflective of differentiated anaplastic astrocytoma, having high expression of the differentiated astrocyte marker glial fibrillary acid protein (GFAP) and the astrocyte marker glutamine synthetase and low expression of S-100 proteins (4,5). The SMA560 cell line maintains robust tumorigenic behavior after serial passaging (2). Uniquely among established murine glioma models, SMA560 cells express the immunosuppressive protein transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) (6), making this cell line of great value for investigation of targeted cancer immunotherapies.

SMA-560 cell line was derived from a spontaneous astrocytoma passaged in syngenic VM/Dk mice (2).

Gliomas are a rare and aggressive cancer with an extremely low survival rate and high resistance to treatment (1). Glioma models that recapitulate the multiple features of the disease are important for understanding of mechanisms of glioma malignancy and development of effective therapies, especially those that address tumor-induced immunosuppression and resistance.
