Tool Details
- Tool name: vRRP3 cell line
- Alternate names: vRRP3
- Tool type: Cell Lines
- Parental cell line: A375 Melanoma (ATCC)
- Organism: Human
- Donor: A375 (ATCC) -human melanoma cell line of a solid tumor from a 54-year-old female.
- Tissue: Skin

- Morphology: Diffuse Morphology
- Description: Drug-resistant sub-lines of A375 that are BRAF^V600E and NRAS WT. VRPP3 Harbours RAC1^N921 but does not harbour NRAS mutations or BRAF genomic alterations, which drive drug resistance through MAPK-reactivation. It is a VEM-resistant derivative of A375. vRPP3 served as a positive control as it harbours a heterozygous N92I mutation in RAC1, con?rmed via Sanger sequencing. Shows Increased VAV1 protein levels. Showed decreased MEK Phosphorylation on S217(Raf Site) and Increased MEK Phosphorylation on S298 (Pak Site).
- Research area: Cancer; Drug development
- Production details: Spontaneous vemurafenib-resistant clones and populations were created after 23 and 46 weeks cultured in 3 mm vemurafenib. maintained in media with 3 mm vemurafenib.
