OVCAR-3 CDX Model
The OVCAR-3 cell line originates from human ovarian adenocarcinoma, a subtype of ovarian cancer known for its epithelial cell origin. Ovarian cancer, often termed the “silent killer”, is notorious for its insidious onset and frequent late-stage diagnosis. The OVCAR-3 cell line, characterized by specific genetic mutations and molecular markers, provides an essential platform for studying the intricacies, progression, and potential therapeutic challenges associated with ovarian adenocarcinoma. Representing a genetic profile and molecular features commonly found in ovarian cancer patients, OVCAR-3 plays a pivotal role in preclinical investigations. The in vitro and in vivo behaviors of OVCAR-3 shed light on tumor growth dynamics, invasive capabilities, and therapeutic responses of ovarian tumors. Researchers extensively utilize the OVCAR-3 model to decode the molecular and cellular dynamics of ovarian cancer, evaluate the efficacy of novel therapeutic interventions, and to understand potential resistance mechanisms to standard therapies.
