Py2T is a stable murine breast cancer cell line derived from the mammary tumor of MMTV-PyMT (mouse mammary tumor virus-polyoma middle tumor-antigen) transgenic mouse. PyMT is an oncogene which transforms cells in culture and leads to formation of mammary tumors in MMTV-PyMT mice by interacting with non receptor tyrosine kinase, c-Src.
These cells have a uniform cobblestone-like morphology, typical of differentiated epithelial cells, and express estrogen receptor (ER), and both basal (CK14) and luminal (CK8/18) markers. When these cells are implanted orthotopically in syngeneic FVB/N mice, they form non-metastatic invasive tumors with low or absent E-cadherin.
Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a process involved in the initiation of the invasion-metastasis cascade of cancer cells. 90% of breast cancer-related deaths are ascribed to systemic dissemination of cancer cells leading to their metastatic outgrowth in distant organs.

Caratteristiche e vantaggi

Py2T undergo epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in response to TGFβ in vitro. Long term treatment with TGFβ leads to formation of a mesenchymal subline of cells (Py2T LT) with elongated morphology expressing mesenchymal markers such as vimentin, fibronectin, and N-cadherin. Orthotopic implantation of Py2T LT cells has been reported to form microscopic lung metastatic lesions in mice. These cell lines will serve as a versatile model to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying EMT.

Stoccaggio e stabilità

Py2T cells should be stored in liquid nitrogen. The cells can be cultured for at least 10 passages without significantly affecting cell marker expression and function.
