SK-BR3 Cell Line:
Breast cancer is considered the most common malignancy in females as well as a significant public health issue. The SK-BR-3 tumorigenic cell line was established in 1970 by G. Trempe and L. J. Old from the mammary gland of a 43-year-old Caucasian female with breast adenocarcinoma. The SK-BR-3 cells were derived from a metastatic site by pleural effusion. Many of these tumorigenic cells exhibit polyploidy or an increased number of chromosomes. The SK-BR-3 cell line is considered a hypertriploid cell line with a very complex chromosome composition. The HER2/c-erb-2 gene product is overexpressed, and the modal chromosome number of 84 occurs in approximately 34% of cells. The SK-BR-3 cell line includes microvilli and desmosomes as well as glycogen granules. The SK-BR3 cell line is useful for studying antibody resistance in some breast cancer cells. Altogen Biosystems provides high-efficiency transfection kits for this cell line.
Data:
Figure 1. Cyclophilin B silencing efficiency was determined by qRT-PCR in the SKBR3 cells transfected by Cyclophilin B siRNA or non-silencing siRNA control following the recommended transfection protocol. Cyclophilin mRNA expression levels were measured 48 hours post-transfection. 18S rRNA levels were used to normalize the Cyclophilin B data. Values are normalized to untreated sample. Data are presented as means ± SD (n=6).
Figure 2. Protein expression of Cyclophilin B in SK-BR-3 cells. DNA plasmid expressing Cyclophilin B or siRNA targeting Cyclophilin B were transfected into SK-BR-3 cells following Altogen Biosystems transfection protocol. At 72 hours post-transfection the cells were analyzed by Western Blot for protein expression levels (normalized by total protein, 10 µg of total protein loaded per each well). Untreated cells used as a negative control.
