AN3 Ca Cells

The An3 Ca cell line is derived from a human endometrial adenocarcinoma, a type of cancer originating from the lining of the uterus. This cell line is estrogen receptor negative (ER-) and exhibits aggressive tumorigenic potential when assessed in vivo. An3 Ca cells are used extensively in research focused on understanding the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying endometrial cancer progression, including studies on cancer cell proliferation, metastasis, and response to therapeutic agents. Characteristically, An3 Ca cells display an epithelial morphology and have been utilized to study the impact of various genetic and environmental factors on cancer cell behavior. Research using this cell line has contributed to identifying potential therapeutic targets and understanding the resistance mechanisms against conventional treatments. They serve as a valuable model for evaluating new drugs or treatment strategies that could be effective against aggressive forms of endometrial cancer. Overall, the An3 Ca cell line is instrumental in advancing the scientific knowledge of endometrial adenocarcinoma, offering insights that might lead to more effective interventions for this challenging and often lethal disease.
