Description

Description générale

This breast cancer cell line resistant to the aromatase inhibitor letrozole. Oestrogen receptor positive. It is progesterone receptor positive when grown in medium without letrozole

Description de la lignée cellulaire

The MCF7/LetR-1 Cell Line was developed as a model of resistance to anti-cancer treatment with aromatase inhibitors.
Letrozole-resistant cell lines were established from MCF-7 cells grown in medium with 10% NCS and 10^-7 M testosterone. A culture of MCF-7 cells were treated with 10^-6 M letrozole for one week, trypsinized and seeded in serial dilutions in 24-well plates. Single colonies were transferred to new wells and gradually expanded in medium with letrozole. After ~2–3 months, the isolated colonies gave rise to letrozole-resistant cell lines, which could be grown in letrozole-containing medium with a weekly split ratio of ~1:25. The MCF-7 cell line was authenticated in January 2014 by DNA profiling using short tandem repeat loci and found to be matching the genetic profile reported for the MCF-7 cell line.

Milieu de culture

Phenol red free DMEM:F12 (1:1) (D6434) + 10% Newborn Calf Serum(NBCS) (N4637) + 2.5 mM Ala-Gln (G8541) + 6 ng/ ml Insulin (I9278), 0.1 uM testosterone and 1 uM letrozole

Procédure de repiquage

Split sub-confluent cultures (70-80%) 1:3 to 1:6 i.e. seeding at 2-4 x 10, 000 cells/cm² using 0.05% trypsin or trypsin or trypsin/EDTA; 5% CO₂; 37°C.
