227 results about "MCF-7" patented technology

MCF-7 is a breast cancer cell line isolated in 1970 from a 69-year-old Caucasian woman. MCF-7 is the acronym of Michigan Cancer Foundation-7, referring to the institute in Detroit where the cell line was established in 1973 by Herbert Soule and co-workers. The Michigan Cancer Foundation is now known as the Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute.

Endogenous protein marking method used for Chip-seq genome-wide binding spectrum

The invention relates to an endogenous protein marking method applied to genome-wide binding spectrum analysis. The method comprises the steps of designing sgRNA for upstream and downstream 50bp regions of an encoding termination site of an NCOA1 gene; verifying cutting efficiency of sgRNA mediated Cas9 by an experiment; building an anti-estrogen therapy tolerant MCF-7 breast cancer cell model; by utilizing a CRISPR/Cas9 homologous recombination technology, selecting and using effective sgRNA and DNA donors, and introducing a Flag tag in the 3' end of the ER alpha co-transcription factor NCOA1 gene; and establishing a stable cell line with the Flag tag. Compared with the prior art, the method has the advantages that gene editing is performed by utilizing the CRISPR/Cas9 technology, so that the tag insertion efficiency of the gene editing is greatly improved; more importantly, chromatin structure parameters are introduced for designing sgRNA, so that effective cutting of Cas9 at a target site of a genome is ensured; and positive clone screening is performed by adopting DNA sequencing and RT-PCR sequencing methods, so that the positive clone identification step is simplified and the manpower and material resources for screening are reduced.

Target quaternary ammonium salt cationic polymer lipid gene carrier, preparation method and application thereof

The invention discloses a target quaternary ammonium salt cationic polymer lipid gene carrier, a preparation method and an application thereof. The target quaternary ammonium salt cationic polymer lipid genetic carrier is characterized in that: a polymeric quaternary ammonium salt and lipid are adopted for preparing a quaternary ammonium salt cationic polymer lipid genetic carrier according to a mass ratio, wherein the mass ratio of the polymeric quaternary ammonium salt to the lipid is 0.05-20:1; then a assembly method or a modification method is adopted for modifying to prepare a folic acid or EGFR antibody modified cationic polymer lipid gene carrier. Results of gene transfection experiments show that: gene transfection efficiencies of the target quaternary ammonium salt cationic polymer lipid gene carrier in 293T cells and NIH-3T3 cells are the same as the gene transfection efficiencies of positive control lipofectamine of lipofectamine<TM>2000 in the 293T cells and the NIH-3T3 cells; the gene transfection efficiencies of the EGFR antibody modified cationic polymer lipid genetic carrier in liver cancer Huh-7 cells and breast cancer MCF-7 cells are higher than the gene transfection efficiencies of the lipofectamine<TM>2000 in the liver cancer Huh-7 cells and the breast cancer MCF-7 cells. The cationic polymer lipid genetic carrier system provided by the present invention has good biocompatibility and low cytotoxicity, and can be as an excellent non-viral gene delivery carrier.

Antiestrogenic glyceollins suppress human breast and ovarian carcinoma proliferation and tumorigenesis

InactiveUS20060246162A1Preventing minimizing development growthOrganic active ingredientsBiocideStress inducedPhytochemical
The flavonoid family of phytochemicals, particularly those derived from soy, has received attention regarding their hormonal activity and their effects on human health and disease. The types and amounts of these compounds in soy and other plants are controlled by both constitutive expression and stress-induced biosynthesis. The health benefits of soy may therefore be dependent upon the amounts of the various hormonally active phytochemicals present. We have identified increased biosynthesis of the isoflavonoid phytoalexin compounds, Glyceollins I, II and III, in soy plants grown under stressed conditions (elicited soy), which exhibit marked anti-estrogenic effects on ER function. Here we demonstrate that specific glyceollins, isolated from elicited soy, displayed anti-estrogenic activity, suppressing basal and estrogen stimulated colony formation of ER-positive estrogen dependent breast cancer cells and inhibiting ER-dependent gene expression of progesterone receptor (PgR) and stromal derived factor-1 (SDF1/CXCL12). Examining the effects of glyceollin on in vivo tumor formation/growth we demonstrate the ability of glyceollins to significantly suppress basal and estrogen-stimulated tumor growth of ER-positive MCF-7 breast and BG-1 ovarian carcinoma cells in ovariectomized female nude mice. We further demonstrate that the effects of glyceollins on suppression of tumor growth correlate with inhibition of estrogen stimulated PgR expression. In contrast to the uterotropic activity of tamoxifen the glyceollins displayed no uterine agonist activity. The Glyceollin (I-III) compounds may represent an important component of the health effects of soy as well as represent novel anti-estrogens useful in the prevention or treatment of breast and ovarian carcinoma.

Method of identifying and treating invasive carcinomas

Prostasin protein has been found to be a useful marker for determination of the invasiveness of and as a means to treat human carcinomas. Using RT-PCR and western blot analyses, prostasin protein and mRNA expression were found in normal human prostate epithelial cells and the human prostate cancer cell line LNCaP, but not in the highly invasive human prostate cancer cell lines DU-145 and PC-3. Imunohistochemistry studies of human prostate cancer specimens revealed a down-regulation of prostasin in high-grade tumors. Using RT-PCR and western blot analyses, prostasin protein and mRNA expression were found in a non-invasive human breast cancer cell line, MCF-7, while invasive human breast cancer cell lines MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-435s were found not to express either the prostasin protein or the mRNA. A non-invasive human breast cancer cell line, MDA-MB-453, was shown to express prostasin mRNA but not prostasin protein. Transfection of DU-145 and PC-3 cells with a full-length human prostasin cDNA restored prostasin expression and reduced the in vitro invasiveness by 68% and 42%, respectively. Transfection of MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-435s cells with a full-length human prostasin cDNA restored prostasin expression and reduced the in vitro invasiveness by 50% for either cell line. The prostasin gene promoter region was found to be hypermethylated at specific sites in invasive cancer cells.
