SACC-83 Salivary Gland Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma Cells (SACC-83)

The SACC-83 cell line is a vital tool in salivary gland cancer research. It was derived from a human adenoid cystic carcinoma of the parotid gland. They display active proliferation ability, which makes them suitable for studying the growth mechanisms of adenoid cystic carcinoma. Biologically, they express specific markers related to salivary gland tumors, such as cytokeratins, which are important for maintaining the epithelial cell characteristics.

Researchers use the SACC-83 cell line to investigate various aspects of salivary gland cancer. For instance, it can be employed to study the invasion and metastasis processes of adenoid cystic carcinoma, as these cells have the potential to invade extracellular matrix components in vitro. Additionally, it serves as a model for screening and evaluating anti-cancer drugs.
