Regulatory subunits of PKA define an axis of cellular proliferation/differentiation in ovarian cancer cells

Chris Cheadle, Maria Nesterova, Tonya Watkins, Kathleen C Barnes, John C Hall, Antony Rosen, Kevin G Becker, Yoon S Cho-Chung BMC Medical Genomics 2008, 1:43 (26 September 2008)

Overexpression of the regulatory subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) in ovarian cancer cells causes hyperproliferation for the RI isoform and differentiation for RII, suggesting that PKA may be pivotal in disease progression.

PMC42, a breast progenitor cancer cell line, has normal-like mRNA and microRNA transcriptomes

Anna Git, Inmaculada Spiteri, Cherie Blenkiron, Mark J Dunning, Jessica CM Pole, Suet-Feung Chin, Yanzhong Wang, James Smith, Frederick J Livesey, Carlos Caldas Breast Cancer Research 2008, 10:R54 (27 June 2008)

Breast cancer cell line PMC42 is a good model for normal breast epithelium, providing a unique biological tool to study breast differentiation and the function of key miRNAs typically lost in cancer.

Short term culture of breast cancer tissues to study the activity of the anticancer drug taxol in an intact tumor environment

Heiko van der Kuip, Thomas E Mürdter, Maike Sonnenberg, Monika McClellan, Susanne Gutzeit, Andreas Gerteis, Wolfgang Simon, Peter Fritz, Walter E Aulitzky BMC Cancer 2006, 6:86 (7 April 2006)

A tissue culture method, where cells remain viable and proliferate within their tissue environment, was successfully combined with a novel read out system to assess drug efficacy in breast cancer tissues.
