      Background InformationOvarian carcinoma is a prevalent worldwide disease, with over 200,000 new cases diagnosed per year (1). Metastatic gastrointestinal cancer frequently presents as advanced ovarian carcinoma (2). The availability of cellular models that recapitulate the spectrum of forms of ovarian cancer are essential to understanding drug resistance, cellular physiology, and advancing new options for treatment.

      The OVCAR-5 cell line was established from ascites fluid from a non-treated patient with an advanced-stage ovarian tumor (3). The OVCAR-5 cell line has recently been classified as originating from the gastrointestinal tract, not of ovarian origin (4). OVCAR-5 cells harbor a homozygous Gly12Val mutation in the KRAS oncogene and are characterized by migration/invasion ability as well as exhibiting tumorigenicity in nude mice (5). OVCAR-5 cells overexpress claudin-4, a marker that plays a role in cancer malignancy (6). OVCAR-5 cells exhibit aggressive growth and invasion and represent a valuable model for metastatic gastrointestinal carcinoma.

      Source:
      OVCAR-5 was established from ascites fluid from a 67-year-old untreated cancer patient (3).
