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 .

Intravesical administration of Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) is the most effective therapy for superficial transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder although its mechanism of action is not known. To determine if bladder tumors are capable of antigen presentation and thus might

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) in general have shown poor efficacy in bladder cancer. The purpose of this project was to determine whether photodynamic therapy (PDT) with bladder cancer-specific porphyrin-based PLZ4-nanoparticles (PNP) potentiated ICI.

Patients with high-risk, nonmuscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) frequently relapse after standard intravesical bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) therapy and may have a dismal outcome. The mechanisms of resistance to such immunotherapy remain poorly understood. Here, using cancer cell lines, freshly resected human

The standard treatment of nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) is transurethral resection of the tumors, followed by intravesical therapy (IT), which comprises a direct instillation of a solution of Bacillus Calmette-Guérin vaccine or chemotherapy into the bladder. However, the recurrence

Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) has shown remarkable clinical efficacy in several cancer types. However, only a fraction of patients will respond to ICB. Here, we performed pooled mutagenic screening with CRISPR-mediated genetically engineered mouse models (CRISPR-GEMM) in ICB settings, and
