The MCF10DCIS.com cell line is a widely utilized model system in breast cancer research, derived from the MCF10A immortalized mammary epithelial cell line. Established in 2001 by Miller et al., this cell line recapitulates key features of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), a non-invasive form of breast cancer. Notably, MCF10DCIS.com cells exhibit characteristics akin to early-stage breast cancer, such as the formation of duct-like structures and the ability to progress to invasive phenotypes upon appropriate stimuli.
The GFP Reporter Cell Line is engineered to express green fluorescent protein (GFP) under the control of specific regulatory elements, facilitating real-time visualization of gene expression dynamics. The coupling of GFP reporter technology with MCF10DCIS.com cells enables precise monitoring of molecular events implicated in breast cancer progression. This synergy offers researchers a powerful tool for elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying DCIS pathogenesis and the transition to invasive breast cancer. Established at a later date, the GFP Reporter Cell Line augments the utility of MCF10DCIS.com as a robust model system for investigating breast cancer biology.
