DU145 (DU-145) and PC3 human prostate cancer cell lines are the "classical" cell lines of prostatic cancer[1]. DU145 cells have moderate metastatic potential compared to PC3 cells which have high metastatic potential[2].
The DU145 cell line was derived from brain metastasis. DU145 are not hormone sensitive and don’t express PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen).
