Contents

2 x 100 µg of MCF-7 nuclear extract (H2O2 treated) at 2.5 µg/µl.

Background

MCF-7 nuclear extract (H2O2 treated) was prepared from cell cultures of the human MCF-7 breast adenocarcinoma cancer cell line. The MCF-7 cell line was originally derived from a pleural effusion of a 69-year old Caucasian woman with metastatic breast cancer. MCF-7 cells are the best characterized and most commonly utilized cell lines in in vitro breast cancer studies. The MCF-7 cell line has retained several characteristics that are particular to mammary epithelium, including the ability to grow as a monolayer, form domes, and respond to hormones. These cells also display a low metastatic potential, leading to the assumption that they represent an early epithelial adenocarcinoma phenotype. These characteristics make MCF-7 cells an ideal model system to study malignant progression in relation to breast cancer.

Treatment of MCF-7 cells with reactive oxygen species (ROS), such as H2O2 triggers an oxidative stress response that leads to toxicity and eventual apoptosis. H2O2 signals an antiproliferative/repair response that induces antioxidant systems to metabolize H2O2 to avert ROS toxicity.

Application Notes

MCF-7 nuclear extract (H2O2 treated) is recommended for studies related to 1) breast cancer research, 2) cellular response to oxidative stress and 3) apoptosis.

Extract Origin

Human breast carcinoma

Extract Composition

MCF-7 nuclear extract in collected in Lysis Buffer after a 3-hr incubation with 0.2 mM H2O2. The Lysis Buffer consists of 20 mM Hepes (pH 7.9), 100 mM KCl, 1 mM MgCl2, 20% glycerol, 0.5 mM PMSF and 0.5 mM DTT. The protein content has been determined by a Bradford-based assay.

Quality Control

Each lot has been tested for p53 activation by using TransAM® p53 Kit. The signal intensity for p53 activation in each lot is compared to the signal intensity obtained with extracts from untreated MCF-7 cells (see figure). Once the signals are blanked, the ratio between the signals from extracts of treated cells over untreated cells used at 5 µg/well must be above 4. This ratio may vary depending of basal level of p53 activation in a given cell type.
