MDA-MB-134

Quick Overview

Human breast cancer cell line with invasive lobular characteristics and E-cadherin loss.

Detailed Summary

MDA-MB-134 is a human breast cancer cell line derived from invasive lobular carcinoma. It exhibits characteristics of invasive lobular breast cancer, including the loss of E-cadherin, a key adhesion molecule. This cell line is frequently used in studies investigating the molecular mechanisms of breast cancer progression and metastasis. Research on MDA-MB-134 has contributed to understanding the role of E-cadherin in cell adhesion and tumor behavior. It is also utilized in studies examining the effects of hormonal therapies and targeted treatments on breast cancer cells. The cell line is known for its ability to form spheroids and its response to various pharmacological agents, making it a valuable model for preclinical drug testing.
