- Description: Chemotherapy (5-fluorouracil) treatment has been shown to result in acute increases in transforming growth factor-a, amphiregulin, and heregulin ligand shedding in vitro and in vivo correlating with significantly increased ADAM-17 activity. Small interfering RNAmediated silencing and pharmacologic inhibition confirmed that ADAM-17 was the principal ADAM involved in this prosurvival response. HCT 116 ADAM17 Cell Line showed that overexpression of ADAM-17 significantly decreases the effect of chemotherapy on tumor growth and apoptosis.
- Research area: Cancer; Drug development
- Production details: HCT116 cells were cotransfected with 10 ÄÂÄ?g of a plasmid containing hemagglutinin (HA)-tagged full-length mouse ADAM-17 (HA-ADAM-17) and a construct expressing a puromycin resistance gene. Stably transfected cells were selected and maintained in medium supplemented with 1 ÄÂÄ?g/mL puromycin.
