Examples of the immortalised cell lines that were used include the human hepatocarcinoma cell line (HepG2), human (alveolar) epithelial A549 cell line with human monocyte-derived dendritic cells (MDDCs) and macrophages (MDMs), Melanoma cells and human foreskin fibroblasts, human airway epithelial (BEAS-2B) cells, human bronchial epithelium (BEAS-2B) cells, human neuroblastoma SHSY5Y cell line, human keratinocyte (HaCaT) cell line, and MCF-7 cell line, which is a human breast cancer cell line with oestrogen, progesterone and glucocorticoid receptors. This evidence concerns the gene NR3C1 and breast cancer.
