DescriptionT24T Human Bladder Carcinoma Cell Line
Background InformationBladder cancer originates from the epithelium that covers the inner surface of the bladder. The most common type is urothelial or transitional carcinoma (1). Most of the newly diagnosed cases (75%) are non-invasive, if the tumor becomes invasive it is more likely to metastasize to lymph nodes and other organs. Two common alterations have been identified in non-invasive tumors, deletion of chromosome 9 and a point mutation in FGFR3 (Fibroblast growth factor receptor 3) (2). Activating mutations in RAS gene family members are also common in bladder carcinoma and it is estimated that activation of the RAS-MAPK pathway may contribute to over 80% of the non-invasive cases (1). Loss of function of tumor suppressor genes like TP53 and RB1 are common in cases of invasive disease (1). After diagnosis the patient requires resection of the tumor and in cases of invasive disease chemotherapy is also provided.

The original cell line T24 has been used to study bladder tumor biology but has some limitations because it lacks tumorigenicity when injected into immunocompromised mice. In contrast, T24T has increased metastatic ability when tested in vivo and expresses higher levels of HRAS mRNA (3). Increased HRAS activity leads to focal adhesion disassembly and los of CDH1 and b-catenin from intercellular junctions (3). Contact inhibition growth is reduced in T24T compared with T24 (3). Additionally, T24T does not inhibit its motile activity at higher density like T24 does.

Source
T24 cell line was generated from an invasive human transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder (4). T24T is a derivative of T24.
