  • Name: MDA-MB-231 TetOn-3G ROCK2 cell line
  • Alternate name: Rho-associated protein kinase 2, Rho kinase 2, Rho-associated, coiled-coil-containing protein kinase 2, Rho-associated, coiled-coil-containing protein kinase II, ROCK-II, p164 ROCK-2
  • Tool sub type: Continuous
  • Parental cell: MDA-MB-231 D3H2LN-Luc cell line
  • Organism: Human
  • Tissue: Breast
  • Disease: Cancer
  • Growth properties: Adherent cell line. Membrane blebbing/cytoskeleton reorganisation and migration induced in the presence of doxycycline.
  • Model: Transgenic
  • Conditional: Yes
  • Conditional description: MDA-MB-231 D3H2LN-Luc cell line that expresses tetracycline (Tet)-regulated transactivator Tet-On 3G regulated expression of ROCK2. Therefore ROCK2 expression is induced in the presence of doxycycline.
  • Description: This cell line has been engineered to enable tetracycline inducible expression of the kinase ROCK2. ROCK2 is a serine/threonine kinase which acts as a key regulator of the actin-myosin cytoskeleton and cell polarity. ROCK2 promotes contractile force generation and therefore is a modulator of cell motility and tumour cell invasion. The cell line is a derivative of a human breast cancer cell line shown to reliably metastasize to clinically relevant sites (the lungs and lymph nodes) when impla...
