      • OVCAR3
      Background InformationOvarian carcinoma is a prevalent worldwide disease, with over 200,000 new cases diagnosed per year (1). The first-line chemotherapy for newly-diagnosed ovarian carcinoma is cisplatin, but despite high initial efficacy, the most common types of ovarian carcinomas frequently relapse into platinum-resistant forms and many demonstrate multi-drug resistance (1). The availability of cellular models that recapitulate both resistant and susceptible forms of the disease are essential to understanding drug resistance and advancing new options for treatment.

      OVCAR-3 is a high-grade serous ovarian adenocarcinoma cell line established from a patient refractory to cisplatin, however the cell line remains sensitive to a variety of chemotherapeutic drugs (2). OVCAR-3 cells demonstrate increased glutathione content (3) and express the Wilms Tumor 1 protein (WT1), a marker of advanced serous ovarian carcinoma (4). OVCAR-3 cells are characterized by migration/invasion ability and are tumorigenic in nude mice (5). The OVCAR-3 cell line is well-established and one of the most highly-cited model systems for ovarian carcinoma.

      Source:
      OVCAR-3 was established from ascitic fluid from a 60-year-old patient with ovarian cancer refractory to cisplatin treatment (2).
