Description générale

Malignant melanoma is highly treatable when diagnosed early, but can spread rapidly if undetected, resulting in the highest mortality among skin cancer types. Lymph nodes and lungs are the most common sites of melanoma metastases , and because of the poor prognosis and limited efficacy of current treatments, metastatic melanoma has generated intense interest as a target for therapeutic intervention.
The LOX-IMVI human melanoma cell line is widely used as an in vitro model system to study tumor metastasis and to test for chemosensitivity to potential anti-cancer compounds. LOX-IMVI cells exhibit a tendency to form lung metastases in nude mice independent of the inoculation site , and mortality of experimental animals is observed within 3-5 weeks of LOX-IMVI cell injection . LOX-IMVI cells are genetically characterized by lack of the Y chromosome and trisomy 7 , and are heterozygous for the BRAF V600E melanoma driver mutation . LOX-IMVI cells are amelanotic and express the human melanoma marker GD3 ganglioside, a factor in metastatic potential of malignant melanoma .

Source:
The LOX-IMVI human melanoma cell line was established from a subcutaneous xenograft in nude mice from a lymph node metastasis of a 58-year-old Caucasian male patient with malignant amelanotic melanoma .

Qualité

• Each vial contains ≥ 1X10⁶ viable cells.
• Cells are tested negative for HPV-16, HPV-18, Hepatitis A, B, C, and HIV-1 & 2 viruses by PCR.
• Cells are verified to be of human origin and negative for inter-species contamination from rat, mouse, chinese hamster, Golden Syrian hamster, and non-human primate (NHP) as assessed by a Contamination CLEAR panel by Charles River Animal Diagnostic Services.
• Cells are negative for mycoplasma contamination.
• Each lot of cells is genotyped by STR analysis to verify the unique identity of the cell line.

Stockage et stabilité

Store in liquid nitrogen. The cells can be cultured for at least 10 passages after initial thawing without significantly affecting the cell marker expression and functionality.

Molecularly targeted therapeutics have revolutionized the treatment of BRAFV600E -driven malignant melanoma, but the rapid development of resistance to BRAF kinase inhibitors (BRAFi) presents a significant obstacle. The use of clinical antimalarials for the investigational treatment of malignant melanoma has

Plasmin is the key enzyme in fibrinolysis. Upon interaction with plasminogen activators, the zymogen plasminogen is converted to active plasmin. Some studies indicate plasminogen activation is regulated by cation-independent mannose 6-phosphate receptor (CI-MPR), a protein that facilitates lysosomal enzyme trafficking
