Key Features

Prostate cancer cell line with reduced Epithelial Protein Lost In Neoplasm (EPLIN) expression.
Cell line exhibits morphology characteristics of malignant cell lines and increased chemoresistance, migration, and invasion.

Technical Summary

Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in males in the United States, and the vast majority of those deaths result from metastatic cancer. We have developed a cell line that could serve as a cell-based model to discover novel drugs targeting lethal prostate cancer cells*.

Developmental Stage

Cell lines have been generated and characterized.
