breast cancer cell lines with different organ metastasis tropisms (19).
When Possemato suppressed PHGDH protein production in
breast cancer cell lines with elevated levels of it, the cells stopped proliferating.

with a large number of these immature
cells lining her
breast ducts, and she is therefore more vulnerable to
cancer down the road — 30 percent more vulnerable, Brind says, than a woman who has never had an abortion.

Whereas conditioned medium from ABL1 / ABL2 - depleted
breast cancer cells did not affect RANKL abundance in osteoblasts compared
with the
cells treated
with control conditioned medium (Fig. 5E), we found that conditioned medium from
breast cancer cells lacking ABL kinases increased OPG abundance in the osteoblast
cell line (Fig. 5F).

cancer stem
cells with metastatic capacity and a distinct molecular signature.
Cultures of the human triple negative
breast cancer cell line, HCC1806, were maintained in RPMI 1640 medium supplemented

Although the differing effects of hypoxia reported here are in conflict
with previously published data, where no contrasting effect was seen (18 — 20), our data was produced using 13 primary
breast cancer samples, as well as established
cell lines, and the opposing effects in hormone receptor — positive and negative tumors, measured using multiple in vitro and in vivo CSC assays, were consistent in all cases.
