Comments: |
In 3-dimensional Matrigel culture, RWPE-1 cells organize into acini and secrete PSA into the lumen when exposed to androgen. Ref
When injected with Matrigel or with stromal cells, into male athymic rodents, RWPE-1 cells also organize into acini Ref and produce PSA.
Cells from the RWPE-1 cell line were further transformed by Ki-ras using the Kirstin murine sarcoma virus (Ki-MuSV) to establish the tumorigenic RWPE-2 cell line (ATCC CRL-11610) Ref and the RWPE2-W99 (ATCC CRL-2853) cell line.
Further, a family of tumorigenic cell lines, that mimics multiple steps in prostate cancer progression, was also derived from RWPE-1 cells by exposure to N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU). See the WPE1-NA22 (ATCC CRL-2849), WPE1-NB14 (ATCC CRL-2850, WPE1-NB11 (ATCC CRL-2851) and WPE1-NB26 (ATCC CRL-2852) cell lines.
The depositor reports that the RWPE-1 cell line (ATCC CRL-11609) was screened, and found negative for, Hepatitis B virus, Hepatitis C virus and Human immunodeficiency virus. ATCC confirmed this cell line is positive for the presence of HPV viral DNA sequences via PCR.
