Background InformationHormonal response is an important characteristic of mammary cell growth and differentiation (1). Malignant mammary epithelial cells expressing estrogen receptor (ER) may exhibit enhanced proliferation in response to estrogen hormones, underscoring the necessity of research on cellular models recapitulating this trait and helping to inform the most effective avenues of therapeutic development for ER-positive breast cancers. MCF7 was one of the first established breast cancer cell lines, retaining characteristics of differentiated mammary epithelium, such as processing of estradiol via cytoplasmic estrogen receptors (2). MCF7-BUS is a subline of MCF7 that demonstrates the highest proliferative response to estradiol-17ß (E2) among MCF7 sublines (3,4). MCF7-BUS is a slow-growing line with tendency to form clusters in culture. MCF7-BUS cells have been validated for dose-response to estradiol. MCF7-BUS represents a clinically applicable and well-characterized cellular model for estrogen-responsive metastatic breast cancer.

Source
MCF7-BUS is a subclone of the MCF7 cell line isolated from pleural effusion from a 69-year -old female patient with metastatic breast cancer (2).
