说明

一般說明

Ovarian carcinoma is a prevalent worldwide disease, with over 200,000 new cases diagnosed per year (1). The first-line chemotherapy for newly-diagnosed ovarian carcinoma is cisplatin, but despite high initial efficacy, the most common types of ovarian carcinomas frequently relapse into platinum-resistant forms and many demonstrate multi-drug resistance (1). The availability of cellular models that recapitulate both resistant and susceptible forms of the disease are essential to understanding drug resistance and advancing new options for treatment.

OVCAR-4 is a high-grade serous ovarian adenocarcinoma cell line established from a patient refractory to cisplatin, and is resistant to multiple chemotherapeutic agents (2). OVCAR-4 cells are characterized by migration/invasion ability and are tumorigenic in nude mice (3). The OVCAR-4 cell line is homozygous for the Leu130Val mutation in TP53 (4) and expresses high levels of the cancer marker integrin αvβ3 (5). OVCAR-4 cells are recommended to be passaged at relatively high density (at least 13,000 cells/cm2). OVCAR-4 is one of the most representative cell lines for high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma and a highly relevant model for multidrug-resistant ovarian cancer.

Source:
OVCAR-4 was established from ascites from a 42-year-old patient with an ovarian tumor refractory to cisplatin treatment (2).
