Abstract
Background: Sortilin has an important role in various malignances and can be used as a promising target to eradicate cancer cells.
Methods: In this study, the expression of sortilin in 4T1 and MDA-MB231 cell lines was evaluated by flow cytometry and immunocytochemistry. Apoptosis assay was also applied to evaluate apoptosis induction in 4T1 and MDA-MB231 cell lines.
Results: Based on cell surface flow cytometry results, anti-sortilin (2D8-E3) mAb could recognize sortilin molecules in 79.2% and 90.3% of 4T1 and MDA-MB231 cell-lines, re-spectively. The immunocytochemistry staining results confirmed sortilin surface expres-sion. Apoptosis assay indicated that anti-sortilin mAb could induce apoptosis in 4T1 and MDA-MB231 cell lines.
Conclusion: Our study revealed the important role of surface sortilin in breast carci-noma cell survival and its possible application as a therapeutic agent in cancer tar-geted therapies.
