MDA-MB Cell Lines:

MDA-MB-453 cells were derived in 1976 from an effusion of a 48-year old Caucasian woman with metastatic carcinoma of the breast, involving the nodes, brain and both pleural and pericardial cavities. Certain MDA-MB cell lines are not tumorigenic in immunosuppressed mice, but do form colonies in semisolid medium. The cells— epithelial-like, round, loosely attached monolayers— overexpress FGF receptors. It has been found that stimulation of MDA-MB-453 cells with HRG beta 2 resulted in the tyrosine phosphorylation of p185c-erbB-2 and p180erbB-4 in a time and dose dependent way. MDA-MB-453 cells also have an active glycerol 3-phosphate shuttle. MDA-MB-453 cells express high levels of functional androgen receptor, providing a valuable in vitro model for further studies on androgen regulation of gene expression, and possibly cell proliferation, in breast cancer. MDA-MB-453 cells were use to determine that G-protein-coupled inwardly rectifying potassium (GIRK) are involved in cellular signaling exist in breast cancer cells. There are several different cell lines, many of which who possess different characteristics, in the MDA-MB category, including MDA-MB-231, MDA-MB-435, and MDA-MB-468.

Data:

MDA-MB Transfection Reagent

Figure 1. Cyclophilin B silencing efficiency was determined by qRT-PCR in the MDA-MB-453 cells transfected by Cyclophilin B siRNA or non-silencing siRNA control following the recommended transfection protocol. Cyclophilin mRNA expression levels were measured 48 hours post-transfection. 18S rRNA levels were used to normalize the Cyclophilin B data. Values are normalized to untreated sample. Data are presented as means ± SD (n=3).
