Abstract
Acquisition of anoikis resistance is a prerequisite for cancer metastasis and invasion, which are major causes of death from cancer. The molecular mechanisms underlying antianoikis properties in cancer cells are still largely unclear. Here, we describe a protocol for preparation of anoikis-resistant cultured nonmetastatic MCF-7 and metastatic MDA-MB-231 cell lines. The anoikis-resistant cultures were prepared by plating cells in the poly-2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate coated plates and cultured for 24h. The viability of cells in the cultures was determined using trypan blue staining and annexin V cell death assay, while protein profiles associated with anoikis-resistance in both cells and conditioned media were analyzed by proteomics.
