Quick Overview

Human prostate cancer cell line used in cancer research, known for androgen independence and metastatic potential.

Detailed Summary

LNCaP clone FGC is a human prostate cancer cell line derived from a metastatic lesion in a lymph node. It is widely used in prostate cancer research due to its androgen-independent characteristics and ability to form tumors in vivo. This cell line is notable for its role in studying the mechanisms of androgen resistance and cancer progression. Research on LNCaP clone FGC has contributed to understanding the molecular changes associated with the transition from androgen-dependent to androgen-independent prostate cancer. The cell line is also utilized in studies involving drug resistance, genetic alterations, and the identification of biomarkers for prostate cancer. Its applications span from basic research to preclinical drug testing and the development of therapeutic strategies.
