Cell Line Authentication and Maintenance

BT483, MDA-MB-415, CAMA1, HCC1428, T47D, and MCF12A cells were obtained
from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC). ATCC distributed cell lines are
authenticated routinely through short tandem repeat (STR) profiling and are low
passage and contamination free. The MCF7-TamR and T47D-TamR cells were generated
in Dr. Rachel Schiff’s lab and were provided to us along with the
parental MCF7 cells, as previously described (18 (link)–20 (link)). The MCF7 cells
were authenticated by MD Anderson Cell Authentication Core Facility through STR
profiling. HCC1428, and BT483 cells were cultured in RPMI 1640 (ATCC) with
10%−20% fetal bovine serum and 200 mg/ml L-glutamine (Invitrogen)
according to ATCC recommendation. MDA-MB-415 cells were cultured in DMEM (Thermo
Fisher Scientific) with 10% fetal bovine serum and 200 mg/ml L-glutamine
(Invitrogen). MCF12A cells were cultured as previously described (21 (link)). Tamoxifen-resistant cells (TamR) were
established by continuous passage of parental cells in the presence of
10−7 M Tam. TamR cells were propagated in phenol red-free
RPMI 1640, with 5% charcoal-dextran treated fetal bovine serum (CD-FBS, Thermo
Fisher Scientific) and 10−7 M Tam. Cell lines are routinely
tested for mycoplasma contamination following a published protocol (13 (link)).

The following cell lines were obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC): i) TNBC lines MDA-MB-157, MDA-MB-436, MDA-MB-468, HCC70, BT-549, ii) ER+ /HER2/neu negative cell lines T-47D, ZR-75-1, MCF-7, MDA-MB-415, HCC1428, BT-483, iii) ER+/ Her2/neu+ cell lines BT474, and MDA-MB-361 and iv) ER-/Her2/neu+ cell lines AU565, HCC1954, and SKBR3. All cells except HS578T were cultured in DMEM-F12 containing 10% FBS. The TNBC line, HS578T also obtained from ATCC, was grown in DMEM with reduced NaHCO3 (ATCC) containing 0.1 mM insulin and 10% FBS. The ER+/ Her2/neu-overexpressing MCF7 (MCF7-Her18) cells were a kind gift from Dr. Elizabeth Mittendorf. All the cell lines used in here were strictly with in ten passages after buying from ATCC and thus were not authenticated again.

Breast cancer cell lines MDA-MB-231, T-47D, AU565, and BT-483 were obtained from ATCC and SUM-185PE was obtained from Steve Ethier (University of Michigan). Cells were cultured in media recommended by the provider. The identity of the cell lines was confirmed by short tandem repeats analysis. Tests for mycoplasma contamination were performed regularly. For histogel embedding, BT-483 cells were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 20 minutes, dehydrated in a series of ascending ethanol and resuspended in 2 volumes of histogel (Thermo Scientific), pre-warmed to 55°C. Once solidified, the histogel was kept in 70% ethanol and processed into paraffin block.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
