The effect of Matrigel, a solubilised tissue basement membrane extract, has been investigated on the tumorigenicity of 3 breast (MCF-7, T47D and MDA.MB.23 I) and 5 ovarian [PEOI, PEO I cDDPr, PE04, PEO 14 and OV(hyg)CAR3] carcinoma cell lines. In the absence of Matrigel, the PE014 and MDA.MB.231 cel

✦ Synopsis
Permanent human tumor cell lines are an important tool for the study of breast cancer. Two new breast cancer cell lines (BrCa-MZ-01 and BrCa-MZ-02) were isolated from a solid tumor and a pleural effusion, respectively. One cell line was established from a medullary carcinoma, the other from a ductal carcinoma. These cells exhibit ultrastructural and immunohistochemical features of epithelial cells of mammary origin. Intermediate filament and cytokeratin typing showed a clear predominance of the simple-epithelial cytokeratins CK 8, CK 18 and CK 19, although the expression was reduced in comparison to the hormone receptor-positive reference cell lines MCF-7 and ZR-75-1. Both cell lines produced slow-growing tumors after subcutaneous (s.c.) transplantation of 1 ؋ 10 7 viable tumor cells into nude mice. The cell line BrCa-MZ-01 expresses the estrogen and progesterone receptor, whereas the cell line BrCa-MZ-02 remains negative. Both cell lines are positive for secretion of plateletderived growth factor (PDGF) and transforming growth factor- (TGF-), whereas interleukin-6 (IL-6) is only secreted by the cell line BrCa-MZ-02.
