- Extra Details:
- The BHT101 cell line is derived from the lymph node metastasis of a 63-year-old woman diagnosed with anaplastic papillary thyroid carcinoma. This cell line is established from a highly aggressive and lethal form of thyroid cancer, known for its rapid progression and poor prognosis. BHT101 cells are notable for their lack of hormone production, which is typical for cells originating from anaplastic thyroid carcinoma, as these cells often lose the ability to synthesize thyroid hormones that are characteristic of more differentiated thyroid tissues. In terms of biomarker expression, BHT101 cells are partially positive for thyroglobulin and thyroxine (T4). Thyroglobulin is a precursor glycoprotein critical for the production of the thyroid hormones T3 and T4 and is commonly used as a tumor marker in differentiating thyroid cancer types. The presence of thyroglobulin in BHT101 cells, even if only partial, is significant for research focused on thyroid cancer pathology and the molecular mechanisms underlying dedifferentiation in thyroid carcinomas. This cell line's unique profile makes it a valuable model for studying the progression and metastatic behavior of anaplastic thyroid carcinoma, providing insights into the molecular alterations that drive these processes.
