      DescriptionSCp2 Mouse Mammary Epithelial Cell Line
      Background InformationMammary epithelial cell differentiation and reorganization occurs throughout development and in the adult organ during pregnancy and menopause. During these periods in the adult life there is an increased risk for breast cancer, which is the most frequent cancer in women. Breast cancer can be curable when detected at early stages, but it is considered incurable in advance stages with metastasis. The extracellular matrix (ECM) in mammary tissue influences growth and differentiation during development, differentiation, and carcinogenesis (1). Epithelial cells sense ECM modifications through transmembrane receptors like integrins that can influence the expression of malignant phenotypes like increased proliferation and loss of contact inhibition growth (1).

      The SCp2 cell line was isolated from the heterogenous CID9 cells by limiting dilution cloning (2). CID9 cells were isolated from a midpregnancy mouse mammary gland. SCp2 cells require exogenously added ECM and lactogenic hormones to express b-casein, under these conditions the cells arrest growth, aggregate, and form alveolar structures that express high levels of milk proteins (2). SCp2 cells are useful to study normal and abnormal mammary epithelial cell phenotypes because their growth and differentiation can be controlled in culture. Activated mutants of M-Ras have been introduced in normal SCp2 cells to study transformation, invasion, and tumor formation in vivo (3).

      Source
      SCp2 is a murine mammary epithelial cell line that originated from limiting dilution cloning of heterogenous CID9 cells.
