Systematic Review: Characteristics and Preclinical Uses of Bladder Cancer Cell Lines.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Bladder cancer (BC) cell lines are indispensable in basic and preclinical research. Currently, an up-to-date and comprehensive overview of available BC cell lines is not available.

Objective

To provide an overview and resources on the origin, pathological and molecular characteristics of commonly used human, murine and canine BC cell lines.

Methods

A PubMed search was performed for relevant articles published between 1980 and 2017 according to the following MeSH terms: cell line; cell line, tumor; urinary bladder neoplasms; carcinoma, transitional cell. The Cellosaurus database was searched, using the term "bladder" and/or "urothelial carcinoma". We followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines.
