Descrizione

General description

MB49 cells are derived from C57BL/Icrf-a’ mouse bladder epithelial cells that were transformed by a single 24-hour treatment with the chemical carcinogen 7, 12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA) on the second day of a long term primary culture . Transformed cells transplanted into syngeneic mice were shown to generate carcinomas . While of male origin, karyotype analyses indicate the loss of the Y chromosome in 100% of the cells analyzed . This abnormality is a frequent early event in human bladder cancer. A recent study indicates that MB49 cells recapitulate key features of sex differences in bladder tumor growth . MB49 implantation in mice resulted in significantly larger tumors in males than females. In the presence of dihydrotestosterone, MB49 cells exhibited enhanced proliferation in a dose-dependent manner. In contrast, MB49 cells were unresponsive to the pregnancy hormone, human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) . MB49 cells exhibit low to no expression of MHC-Class I and II molecules . However, upon exposure to IFN-, the expressions of MHC Class I and II are significantly upregulated .
