Cell Line Description

The A2780 human ovarian cancer cell line was established from tumour tissue from an untreated patient. Cells grow as a monolayer and in suspension in spinner cultures. A2780 is the parent line to the cisplatin resistant cell line A2780 cis (Sigma catalogue no. 93112517) and the adriamycin resistant cell line A2780 ADR (Sigma catalogue no. 93112520).

Application

A2780 cell line human is used in toxicity testing and cancer genetic studies.
A2780 cell line human has been used to:
  • study the role of Snail and Slug in ovarian tumor neovascularization
  • overcome cisplatin resistance in ovarian cancer cells using liposome application
  • demonstrate the significance of NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate) receptors as targets for treatment of ovarian cancers
  • study the effect of low molecular weight heparin tinzaparin on cisplatin resistance in ovarian cancer cells
