Quick Overview

Human kidney tumor cell line with rhabdoid features, used in cancer research.

Detailed Summary

G-401 is a human kidney tumor cell line characterized by rhabdoid features, commonly used in cancer research. It was initially classified as a Wilms tumor but later reclassified as a rhabdoid tumor of the kidney. The cell line exhibits a homozygous deletion in the SMARCB1 gene, a hallmark of rhabdoid tumors. Research involving G-401 has focused on understanding the molecular mechanisms of rhabdoid tumors, including alterations in chromatin remodeling complexes and their role in tumorigenesis. The cell line has been utilized in studies related to drug sensitivity, gene expression, and the identification of potential therapeutic targets. Despite its initial classification, G-401 is now recognized as a model for rhabdoid tumors rather than Wilms tumors.
