NCI-H1975 CDX Model
The NCI-H1975 cell line is derived from human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the predominant subtype of lung cancer, accounting for about 85% of all lung cancer cases. NSCLC can further be broken down into adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and large cell carcinoma, with varying molecular profiles and clinical behaviors. NCI-H1975 is notably characterized by specific mutations in the EGFR gene, making it a particularly useful model for studying targeted therapies for EGFR-mutant NSCLC. This cell line encapsulates key molecular features and genetic alterations typical of NSCLC patients, accentuating its relevance in preclinical investigations. In vitro and in vivo studies using NCI-H1975 provide crucial insights into tumor growth, metastatic potential, and responsiveness to EGFR-targeted therapies, as well as other therapeutic agents. Researchers widely utilize NCI-H1975 to decipher the molecular mechanisms underpinning NSCLC, evaluate novel therapeutic compounds, and explore mechanisms of resistance, especially in the context of EGFR inhibitors.
