Human cancer cell lines MA-11, MDA-MB-231 (ATCC #HTB-26™), Hs578T (ATCC #HTB-126™), AU565 (ATCC #CRL-2351™), HCC1428 (ATCC #CRL-2327™), MCF7 (ATCC #HTB-22™), HCC1187 (ATCC #CRL-2322™), DU4475 (ATCC #HTB-123™), HCC1569 (ATCC #CRL-2330™), DLD1 (ATCC #CCL-221™), HPAF-II (ATCC #CRL-1997™) and LNCaP (ATCC #CRL-1740™), were maintained at 37°C in 5% CO2 and cultured in either Dulbecco´s Modified Eagle's Medium (DMEM) or Roswell Park Memorial Institute Medium (RPMI) supplemented with 10% FBS.
All cancer cell lines, except MA-11, were obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC; www.atcc.org). The human MA-11 breast carcinoma cell line, established from bone marrow micrometastases of a patient with breast cancer [52 (link)], was obtained by Øystein Fodstad (Norwegian Radium Hospital, Oslo, Norway). Cell pellets and conditioned media from the Melmet 1 (MM1) and Melmet 5 (MM5) melanoma cell lines were a gift from Dr. Siri Tveito at the Norwegian Radium Hospital, Oslo, Norway, and were established from the biopsies of metastatic melanoma patients at the department of Tumor Biology, The Norwegian Radium Hospital Oslo, Norway [53 (link)].
